About Extra Olympia Kyklos

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Extra Olympia Kyklos (別冊オリンピア・キュクロス) deserves a look (2020). The setup goes like this. The premise: Demetrios was a young man in Ancient Greece who was a potter's apprentice, but also a rather timid otaku. Despite pursuing the arts, he was blessed with natural athletic talent.

From there, one day, he gets dragged into a village conflict. Demetrios contemplates how helpless he is, but then is struck by lightning! When he comes to, he is no longer in Greece, but a peculiar land where he can't understand the language and people look rather different.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Demetrios (Daisuke Ono) and Theophilos (Jin Katagiri) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 24 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
