When your day begins with being held hostage in a hijacking, can things get much worse? How about being kicked out of your own body? Or learning that if you can't re-possess your physical shell, you'll trigger a panty-fueled apocalypse that will wipe out all life on the planet? For Yuta Iridatsu, it's just the start of the worst out-of-body experience ever. Now, if his dissed disembodied spirit doesn't pursue the persuasions of a porn-obsessed paranormal pussycat and purloin a missing mystical manual, a meteor will collide with Earth! And to stack the odds even further, the book is hidden somewhere in the boarding house Yuta shares with a bevy of beautiful babes, but if he gets an eyeful of his ravishing co-renters in their unmentionables before he's back in himself, it's flash-forward to Doomsday! Will the literal end of the world be wearing briefs, a bikini, or a thong? Find out when panties, possessions and extinction level events have the ultimate rear-end collision in PUNCH LINE!

You can call PUNCH LINE a lot of things, but it's certainly no joke.

Modestly ecchi, thankfully not detracting from its underlying charm. Not outstanding, but not a waste of time.

Über ecchi, or a W mystery?

Punchline is a ambitious and gorgeous anime that fails to tell a unique, plot-twisted time story due to poor writing.

Has the punch of an action series but the cleverness of a gag series

Great animation, good ideas, but they don't blend or don't develop. A bloated mess that can be marginally enjoyable.
