Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time


Rumi Yokoi sits next to Toshinari Seki who never seems to pay attention in class. In fact he spends all his time playing with different games and toys. Though the way he plays is unconventional and constantly grabs Rumi's attention. Though the one that tends to get in trouble is not Toshinari for messing around, but Rumi for being distracted in class.

Tonari no Seki-Kun: The master of Killing time isn't great being binged. I enjoyed it more watching a couple episodes at a time. While the episodes are only a few minutes long each one is fun and unique. The entire season remains clean both visually and verbally. If you are looking for something to watch between shows, Tonari no Seki-Kun is a great option.

The Duke of Death and His Maid Season 3


The Duke learns that there is a way to break his curse. However, it involves the death of the witch who cast it on him. Unwilling to let anybody die for his sake, the duke tries to convince the Wizard Nico to try and talk things out with Sade and become friends rather than enemies. Before they can put their plan into action, preparations need to be made so that the risk of death is minimized. Will the duke be able to break his curse and live happily ever after?

The Duke of Death and His Maid Season 3 was super good. I really enjoyed this series. The anime was able to end in a satisfying way that didn't leave any questions unanswered. I really enjoyed the character Keto. She gives the anime a fun feeling in my opinion. The anime remains mostly clean, though there is a part where you see Alice's back without any clothes. If you enjoy the romance genre, I think that The Duke of Death and His Maid is worth giving a try.

The Duke of Death and His Maid Season 2


One day, when Cuff comes over to the Villa, she decides to show off her fire magic. However, despite it being the middle of winter the fire makes the mansion hot and humid. So Cuff decides to pull out a magical bathtub which changes sizes to cool off. Meanwhile Daleth says that she plans to help the duke get rid of his curse in exchange for Zain's Time Magic.

The Duke of Death and His Maid Season 2 was just as good as Season 1. It had a fun lighthearted feeling to it, despite it being about a man who kills anything he touches. While Season 2 does have a pool and Hot Springs scene it remains mostly clean. There is one character who walks around in a swimsuit though. Anyway if you are looking for a fun and unique romance anime, I would suggest giving The Duke of Death and His Maid a try.

Shangri-La Frontier Season 2


In order to use the equipment Sunraku, Oikatzo, and Arthur Pencilgon got from defeating Wethermon they need a blacksmith that can fix divinity age weapons. Bilac says that only an Ancient Blacksmith is able to work with things from the divinity age. so Sunraku hatches a plan to turn Bilac into an Ancient Blacksmith. However, on his way to do that, Oikatzo and Arthur Pencilgon follow him to an ancient facility that is guarded by golems. Will they be able to defeat their enemies and find the Magical Operations Unit required to turn Bilac from a regular Blacksmith to an Ancient Blacksmith?

I really enjoyed Shangri-La Frontier Season 2. New Characters are introduced as well as old ones from the first season start becoming more involved. There is minimal swearing throughout the season and everybody dresses modestly. If you want a good fantasy anime, I would suggest giving this one a try.

Deaimon: Recipe for Happiness


After hearing that his dad has injured his back, Nagomu Irino moves back home with the intention of taking over the family business. However, after being gone for ten years, he isn't given the warmest welcome. Nagomu's dad tells him that he already has a successor to the Sweets Shop he runs. Nagomu finds out that it's a little girl named Itsuka Yukihira. Itsuka was dropped off at the sweets shop while Nagomu was gone by her father after her mother left the two of them. Itsuka has been working to become the next owner of Rokyuusho which all that hard work makes her see Nagomu as irresponsible despite being the owner's son. Will Itsuka and Nagomu ever get to be on good terms?

Deaimon: Recipe for Happiness was pretty slow. I watched it because I was hoping it would be a fun food anime like Sweetness & Lightning. However, it didn't meet my expectations. What was weird was that Nagomu's mom asks him to be like a father to her. This premise can be pulled off well like in Buddy Daddies and The Yakuza's Guid to Babysitting, but it didn't manage to do that either. The problem is Nagomu tries too hard to fit that roll, that he ends up messing it up. They feel more like a brother and Sister, rather than a father and daughter. The anime is mostly clean. There is a pool scene where you see the characters in swimsuits, but besides that everyone dresses modestly. If you like Slice of Life anime's about food, I would give this one a try.

My Dress-Up Darling


Wakana Gojo wants to be a Kashirashi or Hina Doll Maker. Wakana didn't mind that he spent all his time making Hina dolls until his grandpa asks if he has any friends. Wakana claims that he does, but their schedules don't align so he never sees them. One day while Wakana is using the schools sewing machine the most popular girl in his class Marin Kitagawa catches him. She tells him that it is her dream to cosplay her favorite characters from games that she plays and anime's that she watches. She then asks if he can help her sew an outfit. While Wakana has never tried making clothes for a human before, he agrees to help her.

My Dress-Up Darling was pretty good. However, I don't think it is as good as people make it out to be though. It feels kind of like 2.5 dimensional Seduction except that Marin knows almost nothing about cosplaying while Ririsa is multi-talented at knowing her characters as well as making the outfits herself. It was still enjoyable to watch. There was quite a bit of fan service such as a beach episode, a bath scene, and multiple times where you see marin in her underwear or other revealing clothes. If you like Romance anime and don't mind the Ecchi genre, give it a try.

Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World


In his past life, Shion was obsessed with magic. He stayed single until he was thirty because he heard that if you are still a virgin at thirty you become a wizard. However, he had no such luck after trying incantations of all kinds. He falls asleep and wakes up in another world. While this is a fantasy world no one in this world has ever heard of magic. while he is disappointed to hear this he continues his search for any signs of magic. Then one day he gets what he wants after his sister Marie mentions that she has seen floating lights above a lake near their house and wonders if this is the magic Shion desired.

Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World was pretty slow starting out. But around episode 5 it starts to get really good. While it was cool to see Shion create magic, I was hoping it would be a quicker process. The anime stays pretty clean, however, there is a bath scene in it. If you are curious about how magic is developed you can give it a try. Though if you are a fan of your average isekai just know that it doesn't become like that until around episode 6.

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World


During a fight on Earth, Togo Asagaki sacrifices himself in order to save his team, Kizuna Five. He is transported to Another world, where, after becoming an adventurer, he meets a girl known as Yihdora Arvoln. Yihdora was looking for people strong enough to stand against her magic. After seeing Togo in action she joins his adventuring party.

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World was pretty fun to watch. It reminded me a little of Love after World Domination, since both have a power rangers theme. It also gives a new feel to fantasy anime's combining the magic you usually see in adventuring animes along with a mecha anime feel. It does have a bath scene in it. Yihdora's outfit is also pretty revealing. If you don't care about fan service, and enjoy anime's with adventurers, I would give it a try.

Sweetness & Lightning


Kouhei Inuzuka is a high school teacher who recently lost his wife. He does his best to take care of his daughter Tsumugi, but doesn't ever cook. While walking through the park they see a girl crying as she is eating. After learning that her mom didn't show up to eat with her she gives Kouhei and Tsumugi a business card for her mom's restaurant. One night when Tsumugi is hungry, Kouhei calls the number on the card and goes to the restaurant. They find Kotori Iida alone when they finally arrive. She tells them that her mom is currently out but she will do her best to make rice for them. After eating Kouhei promises to start cooking  and upon hearing that Kotori asks if they would mind cooking from time to time with her since her mom is almost always gone. Tsumugi and Kouhei agree to her request, and both do their best to learn to cook together.

Sweetness & Lightning was a fun anime about food. I always enjoy these types of anime. It kind of resembles Restaurant to Another World but without the fantasy characters and it takes place in a home instead of a restaurant. The anime has a wholesome feeling and is devoid of any fan service and swearing. If you enjoy anime's about cooking I would suggest giving Sweetness & Lightning a try.

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!


Tsubasa Shiki has just moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido. On the way to his new house he stops the cab and gets out, thinking that it will only be a short walk to his new home. In the snow he runs into Minami Fuyuki who tells him that the place he wants to go to is actually three hours away if you walk. So he stays with her as he waits for the bus to come. He learns that Minami actually attends the same school that he will be transferring to. When he goes to school the following day he learns that they are actually seat neighbors in the same class.

I went into this with super low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. The first few episodes made it look like it was going to be a romance with a single couple, but it turned into a Harem anime. However, Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable didn't make one of the mistakes that I dislike about Harem anime and that's the girls fighting between each other. It did make the second mistake that a lot of Harems have and that is that there was no romantic progression. I would have liked to have seen Minami and Tsubasa at least hold hands. It was mostly visually clean, but there was a bath scene and a shower scene. Anyway if some minor fan service doesn't bother you, I think it is worth giving a try.

OKITSURA: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Knew What She's Saying


Teruaki Nakamura recently moved from Tokyo to Okinawa and fell in love. However, the girl he fell for, Hina Kyan, has such a thick accent that he can't understand her. Luckily, Hina's friend, Kana Higa is willing to translate the local dialect into modern Japanese for him. As Kana helps Teruaki he doesn't just learn the dialect, but also learns about the culture and mannerisms of the citizens of Okinawa.

Okitsura: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Knew What She's Saying was better than I was expecting. I did wish that Teruaki would become interested in Kana instead of Hina but then they would need to change the title. It was fun learning things about Okinawa that I never would have guessed existed. It kind of reminds me a little of Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian with the whole language barrier thing. Despite the whole anime taking place near the beach, everybody dresses modestly. its honestly a good romance with no fan service at all. If you enjoy the Romantic Comedy genre of anime, I would definitely suggest checking Okitsura out.

Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!


Ever since he was little, Kazuhiro Kitase has been able to travel to a fantasy world when he is sleeping. Throughout the years he has become proficient at fighting and escaping. One day, when he is visiting a Dungeon with his friend Marie, they run into an Arkdragon. The Arkdragon attempts to burn them with her fire breath, but instead Marie wakes up in Kazuhiro's apartment in Tokyo. Now Kazuhiro wants to show her what this world without magic has to offer.

Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! was a surprisingly enjoyable anime. I didn't really have any expectations going into it, but I think this is what I originally wanted out of Uncle From Another World. It kind of feels like Saving 80,000 Gold for my Retirement with the whole going back and forth between Earth and a fantasy world. There is a fair bit of fan service. When Marie and Wridra both wake up in Kazuhiro's apartment they appear without any clothes on. Also there are multiple hot springs and bath scenes. It is a cute romance anime though. I would suggest giving it a try if you don't mind the isekai and slice of life genres.

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Season 2


Nene, Kou, and Hanako are back! When Nene's friend Aoi shares a rumor about three guardians that can control time, she dismisses it as being too unrealistic. However, when she walks into her classroom everything has either rotted away or turned to dust. Even the plant that Nene brought that morning had turned into a full blown tree. It's almost as if someone had turned time forward. While most of the lunches had gone bad Nene's and Aoi's were perfectly fine. This leads Hanako-kun and Nene to believe that Aoi might secretly be a school wonder.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 started off really strong, but it became hard to keep watching after episode 6. I still think that this series is way better than some other anime's despite it being a little slow near the middle. The clock keepers arc was really good as well as the episode where Hanako, Nene, and Kou visit an otherworldly summer festival. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch if you haven't already.

The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World


Keniichi Hamada is summoned one day to another world. All he's left with is the ability to purchase items from his world using the online store Shangri-la. Rather than lose hope because he's not overpowered, he decided to become a merchant and live his ideal slow life. He travels to a town called Dahlia where he sets up his first stall. It is there he meets a girl named Primulla who is the daughter of the head of the Mallow trading company. This starts off a wonderful business relationship between the two merchants.

Now that the summary is over I can finally say what I want. The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World made me uncomfortable as heck. I have no problems with harems, but it felt like every single female character was throwing themselves at this forty year old man. This of course involves the adolescent girls. Now age difference has never really bothered me when it comes to anime. However, a forty year old and ten year old couple is too much for me. I also didn't like that Primulla turns into a stalker halfway through and then Keniichi decides to go and marry her anyway. It was kind of like a rip off of Campfire Cooking in Another World. Also every single episode has a bath scene. So I would suggest staying away from this one.  

Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective


Takao Ameku is the head of the Investigative Pathology Division at Tenikai Hospital. She goes around solving mysteries that are caused by unknown medical problems. She is helped by her assistant Yu Takanashi who she refers to as Kotori. However, due to her inability to read the room and solve everything using logic she is often disliked by members of the hospital staff. But that won't stop her from helping everyone she can, even if she has to be insensitive to do it.

Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective is actually a really fun anime. I enjoyed that all the mysteries revolved around medical illnesses. It kind of felt like Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions if he was a doctor instead of a detective. If you enjoy other medical anime's such as Parallel World Pharmacy and Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp, I would suggest giving it a try.

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.

Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time

Rumi Yokoi sits next to Toshinari Seki who never seems to pay attention in class. In fact he spends all his time playing with different game...
