Battle Programmer Shirase

A breezy, offbeat comedy with quirky hacker antics and light satire, easy to dip into for quick, amusing episodes.

Overview: Battle Programmer Shirase, also known as BPS, is a free programmer with super hacking abilities who doesn't work for money. What he does work for is certainly something that only people like him would appreciate. But, his demeanor certainly doesn't suit the jobs he is hired for. With the evil King of America causing trouble via the internet, Shirase is nothing but busy as each new adventure brings even more interesting people into the picture.
How it feels: Absurd, light, satirical and whimsical. Brisk and easy to follow.

Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
