Describe A Series In A Single Sentence

[Amaris]

The idea is simple: Using whatever series you want, summarize the show in only one sentence. It doesn't have to be exact, and you can focus on one particular aspect of the various series, or on the whole series itself.

I'll start, so you can have an idea of what to do. Remember, you don't have to make a description for all of them, though I do think it's more fun that way.

When he flying buttkicks you, watch out for the girdle, it hurts.
