PUNCH LINE English Sub & Dub

About PUNCH LINE

PUNCH LINE (パンチライン) blends comedy, ecchi and sci-fi by MAPPA (2015). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: 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?

Beyond that: 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!

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Chiranosuke (Yuuri Yoshida) and Yuuta Iridatsu (Marina Inoue) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

MAPPA is the studio behind PUNCH LINE, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on comedy, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Yuuri Yoshida as Chiranosuke, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2015, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
