The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Season 2


Its been over a year since the last episode of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You ended. As a way to mix things up and keep things interesting Kusuri created a drug that changed your personality. However, it backfired and instead had all the girlfriends swap bodies with each other. While it wasn't intentional to swap bodies it had the same effect that the girlfriends were hoping for. As Rentaro goes to get lunch he runs into a middle schooler who had forgotten their wallet. So he decided to split his lunch with her. As he looks into her eyes he realizes that she is another one of his soulmates.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Season 2 was super fun to watch. probably my favorite episode was where everyone goes to karaoke together. Something that became common was that Karane and Hakari became a lot closer this season, which I really liked. Though once episode twelve came out I think that Kusuri became my favorite girlfriend. There is some fan service throughout the season like a bath scene as well as Hahari and Hakari's suggestive language. If you try to avoid things with fan service you can skip this one. However, I think that this is my favorite Harem anime of all time. The main character isn't dense to the girlfriends feelings and all the girlfriends are likeable characters in my opinion. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-


After sleeping in Jinwoo heads off to a parent teacher conference for his sister Jinah. Her teacher asks jinwoo if he would allow Jinah to be a hunter if she awakened and Jinwoo immediately says no. After hearing his answer she asks a favor of him. Jinwoo visits Song-yi who was part of the team that Jinho Yu hired to take down dungeons with Jinwoo. Together they go to a C-rank dungeon which immediately turns into a red gate or dungeon that you can't escape until the boss is defeated. Unhappy about this last minute arrangement the leader of the group separates jinwoo along with all the hunters that are c-rank and below while he finds the boss.

Solo Leveling Season 2 was super entertaining. I understand why some people are unsatisfied with it. Sure they used a lot of money on the animation, and jinwoo is super overpowered, but I still think its good. I like to see how someone super strong can get continually stronger even if it seems like theres absolutely no reason to. The anime is clean. All the characters dress modestly and nobody swears either. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time


Alina Clover has worked the past three years as a adventurers guild receptionist. She was told that it would be a safe job with great benefits where you could wear cute clothes. However, what they didn't tell her is how much overtime she would have every night. She gets so fed up with overtime that she goes into dungeons and defeats the dungeon's boss monsters. However, after some time word spreads about "the executioner". The problem with this is that if she gets found out she could lose her job. Will she be able to keep her activities as "the executioner" a secret, or get found out and punished for it?

I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time was fun to watch. However, it is one of those anime's where the story is exactly as the title says. Though the title doesn't mention anything about Silver Sword or the dark Gods, so i suppose there is still some mystery to be explored. The anime is totally clean. everybody dresses modestly and swearing is kept to a minimum. If you like fantasy anime I would suggest giving this one a try.

Even Given the Worthless “Appraiser” Class, I’m Actually the Strongest


Ein is an appraiser. A non-combat class that isn't useful for being an adventurer. However, after being betrayed by his party and left on the brink of death he is given a new eye that uses the power of one of the world trees. With this he gains the ability to steal the powers of enemies he defeats and use them for himself. However, he won't be able to do it alone. The spirits who saved him won't let him leave the dungeon until he is sure to survive. That means being able to defeat S-rank monsters without getting seriously wounded.

Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class, I'm Actually the Strongest was probably the best fantasy anime I watched this season. It felt different from your average fantasy anime. Rather than knowing how to use his powers right away, Ein had to train over and over to be able to use his powers. His mission is to reunite his new friends with their family that have been scattered across the world. I think the goal is a lot more cute and fun than most fantasy anime. There is a hot spring scene but its censored. Besides that its a really clean show both in language and visually. If you like fantasy anime I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!

Dennosuke Uchimura was your ordinary salaryman back in japan. But, after getting summoned by the demon lord, he is asked to become one of the four generals in charge of his army. Unlike most people who are summoned to another world Dennosuke doesn't have any special skills that make him useful in direct combat. However, he does have years of experience working for a company, which is exactly what the demon lord is looking for. Watch as Uchimura uses his skills working in sales to solve issues that arise within the demon lord's territory.

Headhunted to Another World was pretty cool and different from most isekai anime. It showed how you don't need super powers to become an effective leader in another world. looking back it kind of reminds me of I'm Quitting Heroing. The anime is mostly clean but the demons have a culture of wearing revealing clothing to show off their power. If you enjoy fantasy anime, I would suggest giving this one a try.

Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms


Mona Kawai has had the ability to draw people to her since she was born. Thanks to this she believed that she could charm anyone who comes her way. So when a transfer student comes to her school, she tries the same thing she always does with those around her. But instead of being met with a smile, Medaka Kuroiwa glares at her and asks her to stop talking to him. This is a challenge she never thought she would have to face. Mona is determined to do whatever it takes to get Medaka Kuroiwa to fall for her. But will she be able to resist falling for him in the process?

Medaka Kuroiwa is impervious to my charms is my new favorite anime. Thats right! Out of all the anime i've seen, I believe this one is the best. I absolutely love the characters and the story. But the best part of the whole show is the relationship between Mona and Medaka. While it does have some fan service like a bath scene, and a panty shot, there isn't all that much compared to most ecchi anime. The majority of it is in the first episode so if you can get past that, the show is super enjoyable. The language remains clean throughout the show, which is a perk. If you enjoy romance anime I would definitely suggest you give this one a try.

I'm Living With a Otaku NEET Kunoichi?!


Tsukasa Atsumi appeared to be your ordinary Salaryman. And like any japanese salaryman he is almost hit by falling debris off a building as he was walking home. But just before he was about to be crushed a Kunoichi saved him. Shizuri Ideura told Tsukasa that what fell from the sky wasn't debris at all but an attack from a demon. Thanks to Tsukasa having samurai blood he draws demons towards him. Shizuri offered to continue to protect him, but in exchange he would have to let her live her ideal NEET life in his apartment when the demon's aren't attacking. 

I'm Living With a Otaku NEET Kunoichi?! was actually better than I was expecting it to be. It was a typical slice of life anime with a NEET twist to it. The characters are all pretty fun to watch. There is a little bit of fan service such as bath scenes, and the characters wearing revealing outfits. It isn't excessive though. If you like slice of life anime I would suggest giving this one a try.

I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class


Saito Hojo is the heir to the Hojo Group. A large company currently run by his grandpa. His school life isn't much different from anybody else's except that a girl named Akane Sakuramori argues with him every chance she can get. One night Saito's grandpa calls him and tells him that unless he gets married to a certain girl the company will be handed off to a stray dog. That girl ends up being Akane Sakuramori. Oddly enough Akane agrees to the arrangement thanks to a similar proposition offered by her grandmother. Now Saito and Akane have to learn to live together all while keeping their marriage a secret from everyone at school.

I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class was full of ups and downs. There were some really good episodes and some that were nothing special. I don't think that it was a bad anime, but it definitely wasn't the best romance of the season in my opinion. I wouldn't mind if it got a season 2 though. The characters are all likeable enough and the story is pretty good. I do wish that Akane and Saito weren't constantly arguing though. It kind of ruins the romance aspect of the show. However, if they did stop arguing it would totally make the title of the show meaningless. There are some bath scenes, but nothing too inappropriate in it happens. If you like watching romance anime, I would suggest trying it to see if you like it.

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time


Takumi Iruma was caught in the middle of a forbidden summoning ritual. However, the goddess Nolyn in her anger closed off the spell which prevents Takumi from going back to Earth. Instead Nolyn gives Takumi a new body, and sends him back a year before the actual summoning along with her blessing, which causes good things to happen to Takumi. Takumi decides right away that he would rather spend his time being a craftsman rather than spending all his time fighting. So his journey to become the greatest Alchemist of All Time begins.

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time kind of reminds me of Management of a Novice Alchemist. While it does spend a good amount of time on Takumi building various things, there is also a good amount of scenes where Takumi fights monsters. Neither one was overwhelming, which made a good balance for the anime overall. The anime was completely clean. There was no swearing and no fan service. This is an amazing feat since so many isekai anime tend to have some level of fan service. If you like Isekai anime I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Bogus Skill <<"Fruitmaster">> ~About that time I became able to eat unlimited numbers of Skill Fruits (that kill you)


Light Underwood has always dreamed of being the greatest adventurer of all time. The type of hero who's name goes down in history. So when he gets the skill "Fruit master" That's only good for farming, he is very disappointed. And its impossible to get another skill seeing as eating more than one skill fruit kills you. So Light decides to become a farmer and starts growing skill fruits himself. During this time he takes in a child named Ayla who helps him around the house. One day she decides to put skill fruits in their meal unaware of what they are. Because of this Light gets the skill "Sword God" and Ayla obtains the "Appraisal" skill. With his new combat based skill Light can finally take the first step toward his dream by becoming an Adventurer. 

Bogus Skill <<Fruitmaster>> ~About that time I became able to eat unlimited numbers of Skill Fruits (that kill you) was a pretty cool fantasy anime. It kind of reminds me of The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It My Life had it Made. While it shares some similarities like people getting powers from fruits and using that to become adventurers. It has differences as well, the most noticable being that Bogus Skill isn't a Harem anime, nor is it an isekai. Bogus skill stays mostly clean but there is a shower scene and a bath scene. If you like fantasy anime where the main characters become adventurers this one might be for you. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

SAKAMOTO DAYS


Taro Sakamoto was both loved and feared as the greatest hit man of all time. However, one day he fell in love, and decided to get married. After meeting his wife he retired from being a hit man and now runs a small store where he spends his time helping the community. One day an old associate of Taro Sakamoto named Shin shows up with plans of assassinating him after a bounty gets put on his head. Rather than leave Shin to die after he fails to kill Mr. Sakamoto, Mr. Sakamoto hires Shin to work at his store.

Sakamoto Days was fun to watch. It was one of those anime's where every episode feels like it finishes super fast even though its the length of every other anime. I'm really grateful I waited to watch it until after it finished airing, because I could binge it without having to wait for new episodes airing. There is a bath scene, but besides that the anime stays clean. If you like anime's with lots of fighting in it, you might enjoy Sakamoto Days as well. 

I’m a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic


Liam Hamilton had always wanted to learn magic. While his noble family was on the brink of ruin due to the Jamil Kingdom's rule of nobles having to achieve something every few generations, Liam uses his family's library to read grimoires. One day while he is wandering his family's land he comes across a man named Raymond who tells Liam that he can help him with his magic. Liam accepts his offer and gains many thing including a magical ring which acts as a storage device for magic. With this Liam basically has his own grimoire that can store spells from other grimoires wherever he goes.

I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic was very fun to watch. It started out feeling similar to I'm the 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me? but as the show went on it felt more like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. The show stays mostly modest, except for a beach episode. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you like anime's like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Beheneko: The Elf-Girl's Cat is Secretly an S-Ranked Monster!


One day a brave knight dies, and the next thing he knows he wakes up in the middle of a dungeon. He can tell that he has been reincarnated as the S-Rank monster Behemoth. So to test his skills he fights different monsters and absorbs their skills. However, when he comes face to face with a dragon he barely gets out alive. thoroughly defeated and injured our brave knight falls to the floor. He is soon rescued by an elf girl named Aria who mistakes him for a helpless ordinary cat and decides to name him Tama.

Beheneko: The Elf-Girl's Cat is Secretly an S-Ranked Monster was pretty enjoyable. The characters are fun, and the story is great. I will say that there is a bath or hot spring scene in every episode, and its also uncensored. So if you like to avoid the Ecchi genre you can skip this one. But, if you don't mind some fan service, I think Beheneko is worth giving a try, especially if you enjoy the Fantasy genre.

Tomo-chan Is a Girl!


Tomo Aizawa has grown up with her friend Junichiro Kubota. However, as the daughter of a martial arts instructor she is stronger than any girl and can only compete with guys. She also talks and dresses like a boy. Until she started wearing skirts in high school Junichiro was under the impression that Tomo was a boy. So when Tomo confessed her feelings for him, he took it as a reaffirmation of their friendship, rather than a confession to date each other. Will Tomo be able to change Jun's view of her?

Tomo-chan Is a Girl! was actually a lot more enjoyable than I was expecting. I haven't seen a romance where the main character is a Tomboy, so this made the show interesting. Also the childhood friend route doesn't usually work out, but in this anime it did. There is a beach episode in this so you see the characters in swimsuits, but no fan service beyond that really happens. Overall, if you like the romance genre you should definitely give it a try.

Seven Mortal Sins


After falling from Heaven, Lucifer ends up in the ninth ring of hell, Cocyutus. It is there she meets the Demon Lord of Envy, Leviathan. Leviathan instantly takes a liking to lucifer and tells her about the demon lords who rule over hell known as the seven Mortal Sins. Lucifer approaches them confident that she's stronger than all of them, but rather than beating them her wings are cut off and she turns into a demon Lord herself. Rather than let this get her down she heads to Earth along with Leviathan where they meet a human named Maria. They rent out a place on Earth, but that night Lucifer learns that she has been cursed, and the only way to lift the curse is to defeat every one of the Seven Mortal Sins.

Seven Mortal Sins was interesting. I really liked how fighting the mortal sins wasn't just physical. For example When Lucifer fights the Demon Lord of Sloth her goal is to beat a video game. When She fights the Demon Lord of Melancholy she does it by becoming a music artist and seeing who can get more follows on their videos. My Favorite Character has to be The Demon Lord of Gluttony though. She's so small and nice. As you can probably tell from the photo there is a lot of ecchi content. This is an anime where I think they could have done a good job without the girls clothes exploding almost every episode. So if you decide to watch it be aware that its uncensored.

Teekyuu Season 5


The Tennis Club wins tickets to go to Cambodia at a market lottery. Yuri, Bandou, and Nasuno want to learn how to cook sweet potatoes, but Kanae keeps rescheduling. Udonko and Tomarin get abducted by aliens, and return back to earth to find that Bandou has been arrested.

Teekyuu Season 5 was fun. There is a pantybshot when Yuri climbs up a tree to save a cat, but besides that the visuals are clean. Their is some swearing in the first episode, but the rest of the season's language is clean. If you liked the first four seasons of Teekyuu, Season 5 is just as good.

Mission: Yozakura Family


Taiyo Asano lost his family in a car crash and has since been unable to talk to anyone. The only one who is able to get him to talk is his childhood friend Mutsumi Yozakura. Though after seeing how close Taiyo is with Mutsumi, Taiyo is targeted and threatened by a teacher who tells him that he has threatened every guy who ever came near Mutsumi and he isn't afraid to do the same to him. As the teacher pulls a knife out of his pocket Taiyo is saved by a white haired girl in a white dress who brings him to a mansion. She tells Taiyo that the teacher he ran into is actually Mutsumi's oldest brother Kyoichiro Yozakura, who is an extremely talented spy. She says that while Kyoichiro is willing to go to extreme's to protect Mutsumi, there is one rule that he definitely won't break, and thats killing a member of the family. So Futaba suggests that Taiyo Marries Mutsumi which will make him part of the family and by extent save his life.

Mission: Yozakura Family was a lot of fun to watch. I haven't seen all that many spy themed anime, which made this one really cool for me. It felt a little bit like Castle Town Dandelion since both revolve around a family where everyone has a super power of some sort. near the end it started to feel a little bit like a sci-fi version of demon slayer. There is a hot springs episode around episode 18, but besides that everyone dresses modestly and the language stays clean. I would definitely suggest watching it if you get the chance.

The Testament of Sister New Devil DEPARTURES


Basara, Mio, Maria, Zest, and Kurumi all just finished their business in the demon realm and have arrived home. While Basara is bathing, Maria sneaks in an aphrodisiac which causes all sorts of problems. To punish her for this he ties her up in the kitchen. Zest decides to make breakfast since Maria is all tied up at the moment. Not long after the table is set and the food is out a commercial for a water park appears on the tv. While most of the group thinks its bad to go to the pool during winter, Maria sees it as a chance to strengthen their bond. Though everybody knows she has ulterior motives Basara claims that he would like to go, so everyone agrees.

The Testament of Sister New Devil DEPARTURES followed the same pattern as the rest of the series. Surprisingly DEPARTURES covers almost all of the fan service tropes in its hour long episode. So there is a bath scene, a shower scene, a pool scene, and a hot springs scene. While I understand why people would not want to watch it, I was happy with the ending. Though you don't see a ceremony or anything, Basara gets married. I love romance anime where the relationship actually progresses. If you have seen the rest of the series and enjoyed it, I think DEPARTURES is worth giving a watch. Though I understand that this series is not for everyone, so you can decide whether or not to watch it for yourself.

Rokudo's Bad Girls


Tousuke Rokudo has been bullied for as long as he can remember. His only wish is to have a happy school life with his friends Chief and Colonel. Unfortunately he goes to a school that's full of delinquents. One day while trying to figure out what to do about being bullied day after day Rokudo receives a package from his grandpa who has been dead for years. All thats in there is a message saying that Rokudo will soon be in danger as well as a scroll. He opens the scroll and a magic symbol appears on his forehead. This scroll has the power to make any bad girl instantly fall in love with him. With this the bullying lessens but still goes on. Finally Rokudo decides to take a stand against Haruya Iinuma who has been causing the most problems for him. While he continuously took a beating, Rokudo stood his ground and Haruya acknowledges his strength.

Rokudo's Bad Girls was a lot more fun than I was expecting. I haven't seen hardly any anime where the school has delinquents in it, so this was a really cool experience for me. I also like how even though Rokudo doesn't like to fight he still ends up becoming friends with delinquents. It kind of feels like he has a gang of his own. The majority of the anime is clean, however there is a fight scene in episode 11 where one of the bad girls gets into a revealing outfit and starts trying to crush Rokudo. Overall, I think that the anime was really good. It was the first harem anime I've seen where the protagonist doesn't actually want a harem. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin


Sakuna is the daughter of the war god Takeribi and the harvest goddess Toyohana. However, she never met them and all she was left with was rice her mother had grown, her divine raiment, and half of her father's blade which took the form of a dog after breaking. She offered her mothers rice once a year to live in the capital of the lofty realm where the gods reside. There she spent her time drinking, sleeping, and playing rather than accomplishing anything. One day a group of humans from the lowly realm wander into the lofty realm. Sakuna tells them to turn back, and then leaves. She later figures out that they didn't heed her words and now the bridge of heaven which connects the two realms has disappeared trapping them in the lofty realm. After a series of mistakes in her attempts to hide the humans, Sakuna ends up blowing up the warehouse where her mothers rice was stored. the head god of the lofty realm Kamihitsuki sends Sakuna along with humans to Hinoe island as punishment. Kamihitsuki tells Sakuna that Hinoe Island is full of demons and their numbers continue to grow. Her new job is to find out why that's happening and to take care of it. 

I wasn't expecting much when I started Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, but I was pleasantly surprised by the anime. While there are other anime that revolve around farming such as Farming Life in Another World and I've Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-related Skills, Of Rice and Ruin felt like a more authentic experience. The anime revolves around rice farming and every episode you learn different aspects of the work that goes into making rice. It also has a good fantasy storyline which keeps the anime interesting. If you like slow life type fantasy anime I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

Rescue ME!


After his parents leave overseas for work, Masayuki Mizutani has the whole house to himself...or so he thought. When he comes home Sayaka Shimizu is waiting for him in an apron. She tells him that his parents hired her and now she is his personal maid. While Masayuki just wants to have a peaceful life, Sayaka is determined to win Masayuki over...no matter what methods she has to use.

Rescue ME! was like watching a season of anime in one episode. It kept the popular tropes like the beach episode and hot springs episode while also introducing the characters in a natural way that doesn't feel rushed. It was actually pretty well done for a stand alone ova. The downside is that the entire episode is full of fan service. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone unless they specifically ask about it.

Wakakozake


Wakako Murasaki's favorite thing to do after a long day at work is to go to different restaurants and try their food. She doesn't eat everything all at once, but tries to experience each flavor that goes into the food, along with a tasty drink.

Wakakozake is pretty similar to Love is Like a Cocktail in the sense that both revolve around a character enjoying drinking after a long day at work. But Where the two differ is Wakakozake focuses more on the meal she is eating rather than the drink. It was pretty fun to watch. While it is two minutes like Teekyuu the character speaks at a slow pace which was kind of a nice change. If you like short anime's I would suggest giving Wakakozake a try.

Teekyuu Season 4


Marimo Bandou introduces her friend Tomarin to the rest of the tennis club. Tomarin tries to convince everyone that she's an alien from another planet but no one believes her. Udonko Kondo from the newspaper club asks for Yuri's help in determining if a rumor she heard is true. Supposedly there is a cherry tree where if someone is confessed to under it their body is found buried under it the next day. So Udonko confesses her love for Yuri to see if the legend proves to be true. The Tennis club goes to the beach where they end up drifting off to sea.

Teekyuu Season 4 was a fun ride. The season stayed mostly clean, but there were two beach episodes where you see the girls in swimsuits. If you enjoyed the first three seasons of Teekyuu I would suggest giving Season 4 a try.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Season 3


As Hajime and his classmates ride in his newly formed airship they see a group of rabbits being pursued by imperial soldiers. However, rather than getting caught they lure the soldiers into a trap and attack them. Hajime, Shea, and Yue recognize them as Shea's family and the same bunny's that Hajime trained to be strong back when he first met Shea. He lands his ship and after talking with the bunnies, they learn that Shea's dad along with a group of other bunnies from her clan have disappeared after illegally entering the empire. Hajime, Shea, and Yue find out where Shea's dad and friends are being held and release them from prison.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Season 3 was far better than I was expecting. Some viewers complained about the animation and the length of the time in the labyrinths, but I though both were great. I couldn't really tell a difference in the animation. I don't typically notice that type of thing, but if I do notice, it has to be blatantly clear like what happened in Demon Lord, Retry Season 1 & 2. There are some inappropriate jokes in this season, but for the most part its clean. There is a bit of swearing in it as well. However, if you enjoyed the first and second season I would definitely give season three a try as well.

Teekyuu Season 3


The girls walk home during a rainy day. They try to find a way to all get home dry. Someone suggest spreading Yuri out super thin so that they can all be covered. In the end they all get drenched and stay at Kanae's house where the power goes out. Nasuno gets approached by thugs and is saved by a boy named Yota. The girls also learn that a cake shop is deeply in debt and they try to help by creating different cakes of their own.

Teekyuu Season 3 was just as chaotic as Seasons 1 and 2. I did laugh super hard during this season though. In the end of the anime the girls study for a test and Kanae does her best to teach them. But her method of doing so is hilarious, especially the math problems she gives them. There is a bath scene but its brief in episode two. Besides that the anime stays clean in both visuals and language. If you liked seasons 1 and 2 I would suggest giving Season 3 a try.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft


Two more of Nyaruko's friends from space join her and Mahiro on Earth. Kuko tries getting a job, but ends up messing up all the tasks that are given to her.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft was a bit more confusing than the original shorts. There also seemed to be a lot more wasted time in these episodes. Each episode has a random scene at the end similar to what in Anime Kapibarasan. Though Anime Kapibarasan kept it interesting by giving you random facts about Capybaras. With this the ending scenes felt totally unrelated to the storyline. The language is mostly clean, and everybody dresses modestly. If it sounds interesting, feel free to give it a try.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani


Mahiro and Nyaruko participate in various activities. Some of these include cooking, role playing games, storytelling, and pillowcase making. Mahiro and Nyaruko also advertise their own manga.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani kind of reminded me of Dropkick on My Devil! While there is far less violence in this one. They both share the trait of a lazy girl staying with a human and occasionally getting attacked. While there wasn't much humor throughout the shorts, I did laugh once. I should mention that I haven't watched the actual series yet, but I was still able to understand most of what was going on. If it sounds interesting, it might be worth a try.

Nina the Starry Bride


Nina grew up on the streets scavenging for food in hoops of living another day. Unable to get medicine one of her friends who lived with her died. her other friend left her all alone to fend for herself. She was soon found by the kingdoms soldiers. After seeing her bright blue eyes that looked just like the previous princess's, they decide to take her in and replace her as the new princess Alisha, Priestess of the stars.

Nina the Starry Bride was very painful to watch. I think Nina's personality annoys me. The beginning was fun to watch. I think it could have been good if she had stayed in Fortna and trained to become the new princess. Instead they send her off to another country to get married to a prince who kills people for fun. I know it's in the title that she becomes a bride, but they could have made her personality and attitude a bit more mature. I suppose a number of things ticked me off about the anime, but I finally managed to finish it. The entire anime was clean. There was no swearing and no fan service at all. I wouldn't suggest this one because I didn't like it, but if it sounds interesting, you can give it a try.

BOKUBEN: We Never Learn OVAs


While Nariyuki, Fumino, Rizu, and Uruka are all studying in a cafe. the manager of the massage shop passes by. She tells the group that she has passed her previous store to someone else and is now opening up a bridal shop. But before she can do that she is holding a bridal fair so she can take pictures for advertising. She then invites the group to come and check it out. Right as she says that Asumi pops up and says it sounds interesting and is promptly invited as well. But before they attend Rizu wants to know the reason people get married, so she asks Sawako Sekijo for help. But when she tells Sawako that she wants to talk about marriage, Sawako mistakes it as a proposal.

Bokuben: We Never Learn OVA's were really fun to watch. It kind of reminded me of the OVA from Date A Live where Kurumi and Shido go to a bridal shop and get their picture taken. However, the group didn't need to tell a sob story to get in. If you enjoyed the main series I would suggest giving the OVA's a try as well.

BOKUBEN: We Never Learn! Season 2


Nariyuki, Fumino, Uruka, and Rizu all have cram school now that summer has arrived. After taking classes, they all do self study. Though Nariyuki has been doing his best to teach them Rizu gets depressed after getting a low score on the most recent test. A misunderstanding occurs when Rizu tells Fumino, Uruka, and Asumi that she got an E. The misunderstanding only deepens when Nariyuki tries to cheer up Rizu. Will he be able to find a way to get her grade back up and meet the requirement to get into college?

Bokuben: We Never Learn Season 2 was just as enjoyable as season 1. The anime focusing on school rather than activities outside of it really sets it apart from other high school romance anime for me. Every episode was enjoyable, and each of the characters are fun to watch. There is some fan service like a hot springs episode, and multiple bath scenes. If you enjoy romance anime I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

Shomin Sample Specials


Miyuki Kujou answers questions sent in by viewers, animators, and characters within the show. Karen, Aika, Hakua, Reiko, and kimito all try and climb up a hill nearby. Kimito introduces the group to things they haven't heard of like yakitori and Jenga. 

The Shomin Sample Specials were pretty interesting. Shomin Sample is one of those animes that I forget about, but when I see clips I come to enjoy it more and more. The fan service was kept pretty light for the specials. You do see Miyuki Kujou in a swimsuit, as well as glimpses of the girls panties as they run, but if you aren't paying close attention you might not even notice it. All in all it was pretty fun to watch, but if you haven't seen the main series you may not get some of the jokes that are told. If you enjoyed the main series I suggest giving the special episodes a try.

Castle Town Dandelion


The Sakurada family seems like a normal family on the outside. They go to school in public, participate in sports with everybody, and have their own hobbies just like everyone else. However, they all happen to be royalty, and each one has their own superpower. Rather than choosing a successor to inherit the crown, the current king has decided that the public should decide by voting. Now everyone has to campaign for their spot on the throne as well as find their own reason for being willing to rule the country.

Castle Town Dandelion was actually a lot better than I was expecting. I really liked how every episode focused on a different sibling. You get to know each of the nine characters pretty well as well as their motivations for ruling the country. Their is a beach episode, but besides that everybody dresses modestly. If you are looking for a unique slice of life anime I would highly suggest this one.

OniAi Specials


Akiko, Anastasia, Arashi, and Ginbei all decide to plant rice. However, Anastasia has never planted rice and asks how to do it. Arashi tells her to just dig a hole and put it in, then surround it with water. After they are done planting the rice akiko mentions that her hips hurt from how many times she bent over. Arashi offers to give her a massage, which Akiko gratefully accepts. After that Ginbei goes and buys a special mont blanc but is only able to get one. When Arashi walks in and sees she blackmails ginbei by saying she'll only keep her mouth shut if Ginbei can name ten different dishes with nuts in them.

The Oniai special episodes are hard to describe. It has two different styles of animation. One looks like one of those cheap plays where the characters are drawings taped to popsicle sticks, while the other is the standard animation you see in most new animes. There is quite a bit of fan service, but that isn't all that surprising since very few OVA's and Special episodes go without it. Anyway, each episode is only three minutes long so you can finish it pretty fast. If it sounds interesting or you watched the main series and liked it, feel free to give it a try.

Planetarian


In a post apocalyptic world, where most people's only choice of survival is searching for scraps, a man runs around the sarcophagus city. No one has lived there after a bioweapon was dropped from the sky killing countless lives and destroying numerous building. The other shops have all been broken into by scavengers looking for food. Kuzuya our main protagonist finds a place with working electricity which is unheard of since the entire city has been destroyed and abandoned. In this place he finds a robot who is eager to show him the planetarium. However, when she tries to start the projection, she finds out that its not working. Kuzuya decides to help fix it, but there may be more wrong than he expects.

Planetarian was not at all what I expected it to be. However, I kind of went in blind without any expectations. Yumemi Hoshino, our main character is a robot who is fun at times, but she often repeats things which can be a little annoying. Its a lot shorter than most anime series so you can watch it in just under two hours. Everybody dresses modestly, but Kuzuya often swears which I didn't particularly enjoy. So overall I have mixed feelings about it. It was a little boring, but it didn't feel like a waste of time either. If it sounds interesting, feel free to give it a shot.

The Testament of Sister New Devil BURST: Tojo Basara’s Perfectly Peaceful Daily Life


Maria starts out a new day by waking Basara up in hopes of growing closer. However, it has the opposite effect and Basara gets annoyed instead. So, in order to stop her from creating any more mischief, he ties her up temporarily. However, now rather than having Maria wake up Mio Basara does it himself. But when he goes into her room her shirt is partly unbuttoned. Basara goes to button it back up, but as he's doing it Yuki walks in and starts telling him that she is the only one he needs. Their conversation wakes up Mio and she instantly assumes that it was Basara who unbuttoned her. After a lot of arguing, Mio, Basara, and Yuki all head to school.

The Testament of Sister New Devil Season 2 OVA was pretty interesting, It was completely unexpected, but also pretty predictable. This sounds contradictory, but it's actually not. I knew that the OVA was going to be filled to the brim with fan service, I just didn't know how they were going to do it. I think my favorite part was when Yuki and Basara get stuck in the Gym Storage. It's a classic romance anime scenario, but the OVA put its own flair to it. If you are trying to avoid Ecchi anime you can skip over this one. But if you have watched the series and enjoyed it so far, you might enjoy this OVA as well.

Otaku Elf


In Tsukushima, Chuo City, Tokyo is where Takamimi Shrine is. It has been there for over 400 years, and at the head resides an elf who wants to do nothing else besides reading manga, watching anime, playing video games, and building plastic figures. Her Miko, Koito Koganai, is just starting as she finally reached the age of 16. Koito has studied and resolved to fulfill her role perfectly. However, performing rituals with an elf who refuses to go outside makes her job a little bit harder. Luckily, Koito has the patience and discipline to find a way so that everything can work out.

Otaku Elf was a good way to pass the time. It wasn't super interesting, but it was relaxing and easy to watch a few episodes at a time. The whole anime had both clean language and the characters all dressed modestly. Something interesting is it talks a decent amount about japanese history, which I thought was pretty cool. I'm not sure how true it is though. If you like slice of life anime and elf's you can give it a try.

Myriad Colors Phantom World


One day a lab experiment went wrong by the company Alayashiki. Because of this everyones brains began to change which allowed them to see monsters called phantoms. The children of those whose brains changed were born with powers that were able to combat the phantoms. However, not all the phantoms are bad. Those who were willing to not cause trouble were left alone. Teams were later formed to combat the Phantoms who did prove to be dangerous to humanity. One of these teams was made up of two people namely Haruhiko Ichijo who could seal away phantoms by drawing them on a notepad and Mai Kawakami who had the Martial Arts skills to physically fight the Phantoms as well as control over the elements. Even though their powers were impressive they were the lowest performing team at their high school. Mai and Haruhiko decide that the only way to improve is to find more members to join their team. Not long after they meet Reina Izumi who is a Phantom Eater. How will this new member change the way their team is viewed?

Myriad Colors Phantom World was actually a really cool. Every episode starts out with a Psychology concept which somehow connects to the plot of the episode. The fights and characters are fun to watch. There are a few scenes with fan service, but the majority of the show is clean. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you get the chance.

After-school Hanako-kun Season 2


Nene has been having nightmares night after night and she asks Kou and Hanako what to do. Kou says that its probably common and suggests talking to other people about what nightmares they have. After talking to Nene's classmates they learn that most people have nightmares though they come in different forms. After all the information gathering Teru steps in and uses his exorcist powers to stop Nene's nightmares.

After-School Hanako-kun Season 2 was fun. I really liked the episode where Nene, Kou, and Hanako start their own cafe.  The last episode where Nene enters a Ghost Hotel was a pretty interesting idea. The majority of the characters who are associated with the supernatural side of the school show up in their own unique roll. If you watched the first season of After-School Hanako-kun and enjoyed it, I would definitely suggest watching Season 2 as well.

The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians


Kurumi Mirai had always dreamed of being a magician. She grew up learning about charms from her grandma which inspired her. One night while Kurumi was out walking around she sees a witch casting magic. The witch stops after a paper Kurumi had been holding rolls down at her feet. She picks it up to see a charm that Kurumi had practiced drawing. The witch then asks if Kurumi wanted to be a magician. When Kurumi says yes the witch hands her a magic notebook and gives her advice as well as a promise. However, when Kurumi is finally old enough to get into Rhettoran Magic Academy she fails to get a high enough score to get into the magumi class or modern magic course. She is instead put into the standard class with kids who would rather spend their lives doing ordinary work like cooking, singing, and fashion designing. On the first day the standard class's new teacher proudly proclaims that she is going to turn every one of the standard class students into magicians.

The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians was a good anime. It's one of those ones that isn't easy to binge, and you can't really say why. The story is interesting, the art is fun and stylish, there's character growth as Kurumi and Yuzu both figure out what kind of person they want to be, and there aren't any annoying characters. I really liked how a lot of the show focused on Rhettoran Academy's seven wonders. It kind of reminded me of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun. I would suggest giving it a try. It isn't the best anime you'll ever see, but it has a good message about how anyone can be the kind of person they aspire to be if they put in the work.

The Testament of Sister New Devil BURST (Season 2)


After learning about Zolgia's attack on Mio, Yuki, and Basara, Jin Toujou decides to approach the current Demon Lord, Leohart. After fighting with him and learning about his nature Jin determined that it wasn't Leohart who gave the order. This attack however, brought the Demon Realm on high alert. Meanwhile Basara plans for the upcoming Sports festival by joining the executive committee. However, mixups with supplies cause contention within the committee. After going back to the store and sorting it out, Basara feels a barrier surround him, then suddenly ordinary humans start using magic. Just before it looks like he is going to attack innocent civilians, he is saved by Yuki's little sister Kurumi. Kurumi then informs him that the Hero's at the village didn't think that Yuki would be powerful enough by herself, so they decided to send Kurumi to help.

The Testament of Sister New Devil Season 2 was pretty good. The story moved at a good pace, and the characters were fun. There were some parts where the music was really good as well. There is a lot of fan service similar to season 1. It kind of reminds me of Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia. The language stays clean though. If you watched season 1 and enjoyed it Season 2 might be for you.
