[[caption-width:350: Because it's not quite ''[[Anime/{{Free}} Free]].'']]

An AbridgedSeries created by [[http://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Octopimp]] and written by [=SparkyTheAndroid=], ''50% OFF'' is a little different than than usual; rather than full episodes of the show, episodes of the series are three-to-five-minute[[note]]The time becomes more like eight-to-ten in later episodes[[/note]] shorts. The series will cover all of season 1.

* BrokenAesop: The filibuster Nagisa goes on in Episode 19 rings a bit hollow when it comes from his mouth-- some thing that [[HypocrisyNod he even recognizes]]-- but it's even more hollow when you realize that it comes from a show that takes handsome characters who were AmbiguouslyGay ''at most'' in the source material and turns them all into [[DysfunctionJunction dysfuntional misfits]] and loud gay stereotypes for the sake of comedy and playing into fangirls' stereotypes, with one of the comparatively sane characters of the bunch ''being'' that gay fetishizing YaoiFangirl.

* OffModel: Lampshaded in Bonus 16 when Nagisa spots two background characters with disproportionately small hands and spends the next minute or so [[HurricaneOfPuns delivering hand pun after hand pun]] in between bouts of hysterical laughter.

-->'''Haru''': What, do you still...walk around with your...legs? [-...Good one, Haru.-] [---Thanks, Haru.---]
-->'''Haru''': What, do you still...wear a...hat? [--''[[PrecisionFStrike ...Fuck!]]''--]

* PlotArmor: Discussed/parodied in Bonus 14, where Nagisa claims that Haru and Makoto are completely unkillable, and that he once tried to prove the point by firing a gun at them. The bullet missed, ricocheted, and smashed a glass cabinet instead, ultimately [[HoistByHisOwnPetard breaking Nagisa's tailbone]].

--->'''Makoto''': ''(in thought)'' He doesn't even know I'm watching him...yeah... *ziiiip*
