My Hero Academia UA BATTLE HEROES

During winter break, The students of class 1-A are all stuck inside the dorms due to precautions to keep them safe from The League of Villains. Not knowing what to do, They start talking about a festival that had been hosted by U.A. High School in the past. Just then Mirio Togata comes in with a card game for them to play created by the support course students. The cards all have the students of class 1-A on them along with special cards that have professional heroes on them. When put on a special board, holograms show up and the two players can simulate a battle between the characters on their cards as if it was happening in real life. 

My Hero Academia UA BATTLE HEROES was super fun to watch. I had actually seen an Instagram reel of this episode beforehand, but the dialogue and series of events was not accurate to what actually happened in the real episode, likely because it had been voiced over to be less serious and more funny. There are no lewd scenes. I think this is probably my favorite OVA yet. It takes place right after the end of season 6. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you like the main series.

My Hero Academia Season 6

The Heroes decide to attack The Paranormal Liberation Front that Hawks has been investigating. They send all the heroes in Japan to two separate locations. One is the hospital where Doctor Garaki works and creates the Nomu, while the other is the base of The Paranormal Liberation Front. They had planned to attack while Tomura Shigaraki was asleep, but as they destroyed the Hospital's hidden Lab where Garaki performed his experiments, They ended up Waking Tomura. While it was still two months before he was supposed to awaken, The power of his Decay Quirk had grown exponentially, as well as the strength of his body. By just touching the ground, Tomura Shigaraki decimated an entire city. Will the Heroes be able to capture him before it's too late?

My Hero Academia Season 6 was incredible. The destruction caused by The Paranormal Liberation Front was unlike anything that had happened previously. You also get to see Deku improve drastically in this season. It makes sense given the amount of episodes left. The second half of the Season was also amazing. I even cried a little at the end when Ochako gives her speech about Deku. There is a bath scene with the male characters at the end of the season, but the majority of it stays clean. If you enjoyed the previous seasons, I would definitely suggest giving this one a watch as well. 

MY Hero Academia Season 5 OVA

 

Heroes and Students gather together to play Hero League Baseball. Gang Orca leads one team, while the Lion Hero leads the other. Every player uses their quirks to try and win the game. Meanwhile the police approach the Endeavor Agency to take care of a villain called Mr. Smiley who has been committing acts of vandalism all over town. Endeavor originally claims that such jobs are beneath him and should be taken care of by the police. The police have been unable to detain him due to his quirk, which makes anybody he looks at burst out in laughter. After going home and finding that his home has been vandalized by Mr. Smiley, Endeavor becomes more eager to take down the villain. Todoroki, Deku, and Bakugo go out with others from the endeavor team, but are stopped as they burst out in laughter. Will the heroes be able to capture the villain, or will he continue evade them?

My Hero Academia Season 5 OVA was really fun to watch. I almost never see baseball episodes so this one felt pretty unique in my opinion. The only other baseball episodes I have seen were in The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You and Squid Girl. I really enjoyed the second episode of the OVA as well. The case of Mr. Smiley felt really unique. I realized that a lot of people on the endeavor team are so serious that you don't imagine them laughing at all. So when they do start laughing, it's kind of fun to see. This OVA didn't have any lewd scenes. It takes place between seasons 5 & 6. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch.

My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Movie 3)

 

A cult known as Humarise sees quirks as a disease and seeks to eliminate them to save the human race. In order to make this happen they plant bombs all over the world that are filled with a toxic substance that makes quirks go out of control. They release one to show how disastrous it can be, they then announce that they plan to release these all over the world. The heroes of U.A High School who are doing their work studies are spread out in various countries throughout the world. After arriving in the country of Otheon Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugo see a robbery take place and chase the criminals down. After catching the criminals they realize the suitcase of jewelery has been handed off and Deku captures the thief, only to find out that the suitcases got swapped. A broadcast is then shown on TV claiming that Deku is a criminal that murdered 12 people. Will Deku be able to save the people of Otheon now that the police are on high alert for him?

My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission takes place right after season 5. This is important because if you watch it before then various events throughout season 5 may be spoiled for you. I honestly really enjoyed the third movie. I feel like the fights in the My Hero Academia Movies are always more intense than the ones in the actual show. Though I'm enjoying the main series just as much. There are no lewd scenes in the movie. If you enjoyed My Hero Academia Season 5, I would definitely suggest giving this movie a try.

Farming Life in Another World Season 2

Hiraku Machio and the residents of The Great Tree Village are back. This time they have an influx of new residents thanks to the Dragon King Dryme and the Demon Lord Galgardo. Beezel one of the Demon King's four generals brings a group of Centaurs to the village, while Dryme brings a group of Minotaurs to the village. Needless to say both races are much taller than Hiraku and the residents had anticipated making the houses they build useless. Not long After, The Lamia bring a group of wood spirits to Great Tree Village, but they refuse to live indoors and just want to live where there's fertile soil to stand on. In order to keep up with all the paperwork, Flowrem brings others from the Demon Lord's Domain to work in the administrative office. Will Hiraku be able to provide everyone with a satisfying life?

Farming Life in Another World Season 2 was great. It felt kind of like a mix of Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord, I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try mastering Magic, and I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 years, and Maxed Out My Level. It does have bath scenes, hot spring scenes, and a lake scene where you see the characters with swimsuits. There isn't any swearing though. If you enjoy slice of life anime that take place in a fantasy world, I would definitely suggest giving Farming Life in Another World a try.

Bananya: At-Home Party

A Mom, Dad, and child all get transported to another world and are reincarnated as Bananya. One of the Bananya's is sad because they have lost the sparkly beads that sit atop their favorite teddy bear's bow. So the various Bananya go on a journey to find the young Bananya's lost beads. They meet many bananya that help them along the way. Watch as they journey both land and sea to recover what's lost.

Bananya: At-Home Party is a special episode celebrating the 10th anniversary of Bananya's release. honestly it was super fun to see. I was surprised to see a bananya actually talking, since in the previous three seasons all they said was "Nya". The language was clean, and there were no lewd scenes. While I wouldn't call this a masterpiece, it is oddly relaxing. If you enjoyed the first three seasons of Bananya, I would definitely suggest giving this special episode a try.

Null & Peta OVA

Null wakes up inside of a wrestling ring where her Sister Peta is dressed as the referee. There she faces multiple Null's and Peta's from various parts of the world. They fight with fists, food, and other objects to try and become the best. Who will win the tournament? Will it be Null, or will it be Peta?

Null & Peta OVA was pretty interesting starting out. A tournament where you fight yourself is pretty cool. However, the episode evolves into something completely different than what it started out as. Seeing as the episode is only 5 minutes I can understand why they wanted to fit as much content as they could into it.  There isn't any swearing. While it doesn't have any of the usual tropes like beach scenes, hot springs scenes, or pool scenes, you do see Peta in a bikini at the very end of the episode as she's fighting in the ring. If you don't like fan service, you can skip this; but, if you enjoyed the Null & Peta series it could be worth a try.

My Hero Academia Season 5

The Heroes of Class 1-A are back. After seeing Endeavor's fight against the Nomu, things are beginning to change; People's ideas of what it means to be a hero, as well as the motivation of Heroes in training. For their class a hypothetical rescue mission ensues. Mirio Togata plays the citizen in danger, while Nejire Hado and Tamaki Amajiki play the villains. Not long after, there's an announcement that Class 1-A and Class 1-B will be having a competition where they face off against each other in teams of four. Surprisingly, Hitoshi Shinso from General Studies will be joining on two of the teams to see if he has what it takes to join the Hero Course.

My Hero Academia Season 5 was just as good as the seasons before it. When I first started this series, getting to season five sounded unimaginable, but everything about My Hero Academia is interesting. I love the characters, the story, the animation, and the world building. While there isn't any swearing, there is a beach scene where you see Ochako, Tsuyu, Nejire, and Sirius in swimsuits. If you enjoyed the first four seasons, I would definitely suggest giving the fifth a try.

AIURA

Ayuko Uehara is just about to relax at a shop, when two girls knock her ice cream cone out of her hand. Kanaka Amaya gives Ayuko a Taiyaki to replace her ice cream while Saki Iwasawa scolds Kanaka for treating an elementary schooler like that. Little did they know that the very next day they would all be attending the same high school. After getting assigned a locker that is too high to reach Saki and Kanaka help her out. They become fast friends and do everything together. It looks like High school will be a whole new adventure for each of them.

AIURA is another one of those anime with four minute episodes. There isn't a whole lot of story, because the series is so short, but I did find myself laughing a few times. If you are looking for something to pass the time, Aiura is a great choice. However, if you want an anime with a cohesive story and not just little bits of comedy I would try something else. The anime doesn't have any lewd scenes, and the language is kept clean as well.

An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess

Cecil Glo Alphasta is a prince who has grown tired of the world due to his high intelligence, which helps him understand anything after hearing it once. One day he meets his Fiancée, Bertia Ibil Noches who claims that she's a villainess that is destined to try and tear apart his future love, the heroine. Since Cecil doesn't understand a word she's saying, he begins to become amused with what Bertia says and does.  Due to this he spends time with her going on various dates where he listens to what she says, and acts so that the future events where tragedy strikes cease to be a problem. But will Cecil have the power to change Bertia's mindset that the game's story is absolute? 

An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess was really good. I typically enjoy the reincarnated as a villainess trope, but I dropped this one while it was airing. After giving it another try once it finished, the story kept me entertained the whole time. I feel like I can relate to Cecil to some degree, which made me want to see him find happiness even more. Bertia and Cecil are pretty funny. The anime is wholesome and there isn't any swearing. If you enjoy the reincarnated as a villainess trope, I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (Movie 2)

One day U. A. High School is contacted by the Heroes Public Safety Commission and alert the teachers that they want the Hero Course Students to work where no professional heroes are available. So Class 1-A is sent to Nabi Island. They develop the U.A. Hero Agency where citizens of the island will contact them, and they'll help the citizens no matter what. Thankfully it's been 30 years since any villains have shown up, so most of the jobs end up being things like helping the elderly get to where they need to, protecting the beach, fixing broken vehicles, etc. Though things started off smooth, villains eventually do show up and destroy all the boats available on the island, as well as taking down cell towers so it's impossible to ask for help. The villains intend to do whatever it takes to create a world where heroes and villains don't exist, only the strong and the weak. Will Deku and his classmates have what it takes to defeat them?

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising was super good. I really enjoyed seeing Class 1-A work as a group. Seeing them do actual hero work instead of practice felt totally different from the main series. Though the main seasons have their own charm as well. This movie takes place between season 4 and season 5, if you want to know where to watch it chronologically. The language is clean, and the characters stay mostly modest. Since this takes place on an island some scenes take place at the beach, so there are characters wearing swimsuits, but the movie doesn't make it feel lewd. While the entire movie was enjoyable, the best part was the end. The battles in My Hero Academia always surpass my expectations. Though there are some things that go unexplained, despite All Might hinting that he knows what's going on. IF you enjoy the regular seasons of My Hero Academia, I would definitely suggest giving Heroes Rising a watch.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 3

It's another hot day in the Scorching Sand Stratum. Kikoyu and Boxxo compete to sell food that will satisfy the people in the dungeon. After a few days, Lammis and the other residents throw Boxxo and Kikoyu a birthday party. During the party Kikoyu tells Boxxo that she's thinking of leaving the dungeon and finding her friend. After she leaves, Lammis, Hulemy, Shui, Mishuel, and Hevee all travel to the Dog Mountain Stratum. It is there they find out Captain Kerioyl and his family is also there. After learning that they joined the Netherlord, the group hopes to avoid any contact with the captain, Filmina, Aka and Shiro. While Hevee and Shui talk to the director of the Dog Mountain Stratum for clues on the whereabouts of another member of the Menagerie of Fools, Lammis, Hulemy, and Boxxo all decide to go fishing. It is there that they catch giant fish along with a Giant Clam. They set the clam on fire hoping to eat it without looking at what's inside. When Hevee and Shui come back they immediately take the clam off the fire and what comes out of it is truly a surprise to everyone.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 3 was really good. The ending of the season was absolutely crazy. Boxxo starts doing stuff in this season that i've been wanting to happen since Season 1. The fights in this season are really cool, as well as the slice of life scenes. There are no lewd scenes, though there is some swearing here and there. If you enjoyed the previous seasons, I would definitely suggest giving Season 3 a try.

My Hero Academia: Make It! Do-or-Die Survival Training

As the Class 1-A prepares for their provisional Licensing Exam, Eraser Head tells the class that there is typically a rescue exercise during the exam. To prepare for that he has set up a scenario where a doll is stuck in a mall where there has been a hypothetical fire. Their job is to find and rescue it. However, not long after they enter the mall, the stucture starts to collapse. Exits are blocked off by debris, and they can't break any more of the building or they'll be buried under it with no escape.  How will Class 1-A overcome this obstacle?

My Hero Academia: Make It! Do-or-Die! Survival Training was pretty fun to watch. Since this takes place before the provisional licensing exam, it feels like it should be watched after Season 3 episode 12. However, if you watch it after season 4 like I did, it just feels kind of like a flash back. I really enjoyed seeing an episode with escape training, since it feels like there aren't many of those in the main series. There is a little bit of swearing, but I would definitely suggest giving it a try. 

My Hero Academia Season 4

After All Might's retirement, the public is wondering if there is still any hope left in the world. Many reporters have been writing about All Might's past, but a certain agency wants to do something different. So they hire freelance journalist Taneo Tokuda to infiltrate U.A. High School and report on Class 1-A who All Might has been spending an incredible amount of time with. Through a series of observations and deductions Taneo figures out that Deku is All Might's Successor. He tells Deku this directly, but promises not to alert the public about it...at least not anytime soon.

My Hero Academia Season 4 was really good. The fights between The Yakuza and The Heroes was amazing to see. You also get to see Deku steadily improve his fighting style. I really enjoyed the addition of Eri this season. It's fun to see her personal growth as well. There were no lewd scenes, or any swearing this season. If you enjoyed previous seasons, I would definitely suggest giving this one a try as well.  

The Beginning After the End Season 2

It's been two years since Arthur Leywin set out on his adventures as the adventurer Note, along with Jasmine Flamesworth of the Twinhorns. He goes on a quest to find a mana beast that's been causing trouble for villages. What they find is an Arachne; A spider-like monster that's resistant to magic, and has an outer shell so hard that swords bounce right off it. Jasmine and Arthur run away after seeing a young girl get trapped inside a crystal after being hit by the Arachne's web. However, as they stop to take a breather before returning to alert the adventurers guild, the Arachne pops up from behind them and freezes jasmine in a crystal. Rather than returning to the guild, Arthur defeats the monster freeing Jasmine and the other villagers.

The Beginning After the End Season 2 was super good. I really enjoyed that they brought back Tessia this season. However, they keep missing each other despite being in the same city. It felt similar to what happened in The Strongest Job is Not a Hero or a Sage, but an Appraiser (Provisional) with Hibiki and Emalia. It would have been nice if they could have met up sooner. It did feel a little bit like Mushoku Tensei, but not as much as season 1 did. The battles against monsters are really cool and kept me captivated. There isn't any swearing, or any lewd scenes. If you enjoy Isekai anime, I would definitely suggest giving this one a watch.

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2

Pride Royal Ivy is turning 16, the age where people are considered adults in this world. She's been focusing hard on developing a school for the citizens of Freesia. Meanwhile, Arthur and Stale have become uneasy due to the fact that she will become engaged to the first prince of the kingdom of Anemone, Leon Adonis Coronaria. While he looks and acts like the perfect prince, many unsavory rumors have been spread about him. After meeting him, Pride begins to be cautious herself, though it has more to do with what she learned from the game in her previous life, than anything that's currently being said about him in her current one. Will things work out in the end?

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2 was really good. I really enjoyed that there was a heavier focus on romance this season, while still keeping the vibe the same as season 1. I enjoyed Stale, Tiara, ad Pride all becoming closer, as well as seeing them get more involved in the politcis of the country. There were no lewd scenes, and the language was kept clean. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you enjoyed season 1.

The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt

 

Every morning, Poem Kohinata is stopped by the hall monitor Togo Sakuradaimon for having her skirt too short. Though after getting fed up with his attitude, she punches him in the stomach to avoid the situation. They later meet after school when they both have supplementary lessons. After working together to finish their assignments, Togo walks Poem home and they become friends before the day is over. The next day Togo runs into Poem and her friends Akina and Rui as they are having coffee on their way home from school. While he initially intended to stop them, Rui and Akina invite him to join them, making Togo temporarily forget why he was there. Slowly, Togo gets to be better friends with Poem, Akina, and Rui, while still doing his best as the school's hall monitor. 

The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt was one of the best romance anime this season in my opinion. I really enjoyed the variety of characters, especially Akina and her twisted romance with the health representative Yu Izabuchi. The anime remains mostly clean, though there are a few episodes that take place at the beach, so you see the girls in swimsuits. There is a tiny bit of swearing here and there as well. If you enjoy high school romance anime, I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too (Special) - The Legendary Dragon—Awakens

 

After being purified by Akatsuki, Yuti joins Yuuya in the real world. She becomes a student at Ousei Middle School. She is instantly accepted by the students in her class. As thanks for her help in enrolling Yuti at Ousei academi, Yuuya and Yuti take Kaori to the capital in the other world. It is there that they run into Owen who tells them that a dragon has awakened. The knights then invite Yuuya to help on their search to resolve the situation.

I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too Special was super cool. The episode takes place right after season 1 ends, so it felt more like a continuation of the series rather than a side story like most OVA and Special episodes do. If you enjoyed season 1 I would definitely suggest giving the special episode a try.

Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy

Kanan Zebul is a demon known as "Kanan the Gourmet." After getting tired of the food in Hell, she feel's like it would be fun to eat human souls next. So she goes to earth and integrates herself into a japanese school where she becomes the President of the Disciplinary Committee. She then finds herself a soul that looks absolutely delicious. The soul belongs to a young man named Youji Kyougi. However, after hearing that he's going to be devoured, instead of trembling in fear at the thought of dying, he thanks Kanan. They then become a couple.

Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy was fun to watch. I read the manga before the anime came out and i really enjoyed it. However, it has a different feeling from the manga. While some of the chapters were out of order, the story still makes sense.  While the romance aspect of the anime makes it worth watching, there is quite a few lewd scenes. The majority of them are in the last couple of episodes though. It kind of has a similar feel to To Love Ru. While it doesn't share the weird stuff like Rito tripping and pulling down girls skirts, the structure of Kanan's family is the same as Lala Deviluke's. If you don't mind Ecchi scenes, i would definitely suggest giving it a try.

My Hero Academia Season 3

It's summer vacation for U.A. High School and Class 1-A plans to use this time to the fullest. After hearing the girls say they want to swim over summer, Mineta and Kaminari approach Deku to help them convince Aizawa to let them use the pool for training purposes. Things go smoothly with the approval; but unfortunately for Mineta, the girls aren't dressed in bikinis, but in school swimsuits. After that Class 1-A uses the rest of their summer to go to their training camp in the forest with the hope that they'll improve enough to get provisional licenses, allowing them to act as heroes in cases of emergency. However, The League of Villains won't stand idly by while the students of Class 1-A gets stronger.

My Hero Academia Season 3 was super good. I really enjoyed seeing Deku and his classmates improve as they strive to become heroes. The season is mostly clean, but you do see the girls of Class 1-A in bikinis in Mineta's imagination. There is also a hot spring scenes during the training camp. If you enjoyed the first two seasons, I would definitely recommend giving season 3 a watch as well.

The Strongest Job is Apparently not a Hero or a Sage, But an Appraiser (Provisional)!

One day while Hibiki Manabe was at school, he walks into a room and runs into a bright flash of light. Suddenly he finds himself in another world. In this world he is given skills by the chief god, god of magic, and medicine god. Because his job is appraiser, he doesn't start out with any offensive skills, making him weaker than most. However, the gods do everything in their power to make sure he is able to live. He soon meets an elf named Emalia who acts as his guide. But, how long will Hibiki be able to rely on others to survive without improving himself?

The strongest job is apparently not a hero or a sage, but an appraiser (provisional) was okay. I typically like most isekai anime, but this one had one of my pet peeves. All the main character talks about is going home. It felt similar to other isekai anime like Arifureta, Chillin in Another World with My Level 2 Super Cheat Powers, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Arifureta, Chillin in Another World with My Level 2 Super Cheat Powers, and The Rising of the Shield Hero all contain characters that want to go home. However, Arifureta makes up for it with its action and comedy, and Chillin in Another World makes up for it with its romance. Hibiki also has a voice guidance system like Rimuru and Flio but seems to remain clueless despite the constant advice he's given. The title is a bit misleading. I thought "provisional" in the title meant that they weren't sure they would keep the title as it was. However, Hibiki's job is called "Appraiser (Provisional)"; it is also misleading in that he is not actually stronger than the hero or the sage. Both outclass him throughout all 12 episodes. There are also quite a few bath and Hot Springs scenes, as well as multiple scenes where Emalia's buttons fall off due to her chest size. While I didn't enjoy this one, it could be great if you enjoy generic isekai anime.

Always a Catch!

Maria Anovazzi, also known as Mimi, is from the Kingdom of Muro. After her father had his first son, she was removed as the house's heir and told to go find a promising catch. After learning that her upbringing to inherit her house was more like a boys rather than a girls, none of the noble young men would see her as a romantic partner. So she moved to the Kingdom of Rubini where her friend Aida lived. At a party the crown prince of the the Rubini Kingdom breaks off his engagement with Aida, or he meant to, but instead says this to Maria who has a similar look to Aida. To apologize Prince Renato takes Mimi out to dinner. It is there that a true romance starts, instead of one set up by their parents.

Always a Catch! was super good. The real title of the series is Always a Catch! How I Punched My Way Into Marrying a Prince. Because of this I was expecting something similar to May I Ask For One Final Thing? However, it is so much better than May I Ask For One Final Thing. It's a wholesome fantasy/romance with lovable characters, a good story, and occasional punching. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (Movie 1)

One day All Might asks Deku if he wants to go to I-Island; A place where the greatest scientific minds gather together to study quirks and develop technology that can support the heroes around the world. After arriving they meet Melissa, the daughter of All Might's long-time friend David Shield. She invited All Might as a surprise for her Father who is participating in the I-Expo where peoples inventions are shown off. However, things go awry when a group of villains show up and Hijack the city as well as restrain the heroes attending the Expo. Will Deku and his friends be able to save the city?

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes takes place between Seasons 2 & 3, right after the Final Exam Arc. Though it does have a prequel. Episode 58 or Season 3 episode 20 serves as a prequel to the movie. I really enjoyed Two Heroes. You get to see Deku's power unrestrained thanks to an invention made by Melissa. If you enjoy My Hero Academia, I would definitely suggest giving the movie a try. 

My Hero Academia: Training of the Dead

Tsuya Asui looks back to a moment back before she was a student at U. A. High School. When she was in middle school she met a girl named Habuko Mongoose and became friends after Habuko started following her around. Later, After Class 1-A had returned from their internships four students from Isami High School visit to do a joint survival training. Among the four visiting students was Habuko Mongoose. After splitting into groups of four, the students head into a forest area where they try to be the last one to survive by either tying up a team or avoiding conflict until the time runs out.

My Hero Academia: Training of the Dead was pretty fun to watch. I was not expecting it to take a supernatural turn in the middle of the episode, but that should have been obvious from the title. The episode is mostly wholesome. The only bad thing is that Momo's hero outfit is kind of revealing. If you don't mind cleavage, I would definitely suggest giving the episode a try.

My Hero Academia: Save! Rescue Training

After the League of Villains attacked the USJ the Heroes of Class 1-A return to where it happened. This time, Thirteen and Eraser Head plan to have the students practice rescue training! They do this by having Deku, Ochako, and Iida pretend to be victims in an accident while Bakugo, Momo, Shota, and Fumikage act as the heroes rescuing them. After all the students participate rescuing each other from a deep crevice in the ground, they move on to a run down city environment where sixteen students will hide, while four try to find them.

My Hero Academia: Save! Rescue Training takes place between seasons 1 & 2. I just didn't watch it until after I had already finished season 2. I thought it was fun to see what would have happened that day had the villains not shown up and disturbed their class. This episode was created for Jump Festa 2016 and they break the fourth wall a couple of times referring to it. The episode is mostly clean, but there is a short clip where you see Momo's panties as she's looking down the crevice in the ground. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch. 

My Hero Academia Season 2

The U.A. Sports Festival is just around the corner. However, due to the attack from the League of Villains, there is doubt about whether it should be held or not. Ultimately the school decides that it's too important an event to just stop because the school was attacked. Instead they decide to make the school more secure. The U. A. Sports Festival is a chance for students to show their skills they've learned during their time at the Academy. Not just the Hero track, but business, general studies, and support are included in the competition as well. Pretty soon people start declaring war on each other. First Shinso from General Studies challenges the students of Class 1-A. Then Todoroki challenges Deku, followed by Iida declaring that he'll beat Deku as well. Will Deku be able to come out on top despite his disadvantage of breaking his bones every time he uses his quirk?

My Hero Academia Season 2 was just as good as Season 1, maybe even better. I absolutely loved the sports festival as well as the internships that follow in the second cour of the season. The humor is absolutely hilarious in dub. While there are some adult jokes, there isn't any lewd scenes. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch.

My Hero Academia

 

Izuku Midoriya has always wanted to be a hero. All Might has been his inspiration ever since he was little. However, unlike the majority of people in the world, Izuku doesn't have a quirk. Everyone at his middle school makes fun of him for wanting to be a hero. One day, as Izuku is walking around town, he gets attacked by a villain. Out of nowhere, All Might comes to save him. Before All Might flies off, Izuku grabs onto his legs, forcing him to stop on a random building so that Izuku doesn't get hurt. After they land, Izuku asks All Might if he thinks it would be possible for him to be a hero without a quirk. All Might says no at first, but after seeing Izuku jump into danger to save his bully Bakugo despite not having powers, All Might tells Izuku that he does have what it takes to be a hero.

I decided to watch My Hero Academia after seeing My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. It was really good in my opinion. I really enjoyed seeing the characters from Vigilantes in a new setting. The one thing that was hard at first was that their English voice actors were different, but it looks like starting in season 2 they change to be the same as they were in Vigilantes. The fights, the characters personalities, and the setting are all fascinating to me. There is a scene where one of the girls clothes gets ripped, but they censor it. If you haven't watched My Hero Academia yet, I would definitely suggest giving it a try. 

Chained Soldier Season 2

Yuuki and the 7th Squadron are back. While Yuuki continues to take care of chores, Himari is upset because he keeps getting the clothes mixed up. While he deals with that the Supreme Commander of the Demon Defense Force has called him to the next meeting with all the commanders. During their gathering at the 10th squad's base, they are attacked by a swarm of Shuuki that are controlled by humans. Two of the captains take care of the Shuuki, while Kyouka and Yuuki offer to help the Supreme Commander defeat the humans. However, by the time Yuuki and Kyouka arrive, the humans had already been defeated. Since Yuuki didn't do anything significant The Supreme Commander Ren Yamashiro watches as Kyouka gives Yuuki head pats for his reward. This makes Ren curious about what Yuuki would be like if he was lent out to the other commanders. Will Yuuki get stronger, or will the stress just weigh him down?

Chained Soldier Season 2 was amazing. The battles that occurred were absolutely wild. The action made me want another season for sure. However, there is an unreal amount of lewd scenes in this season as well. There are tons of hot spring scenes, a beach episode, and lots of kissing. If you don't like fan service, you can skip this one.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2

The Crawler and Pop Step are back. After Knuckleduster disappeared on them, they continued their patrols in Naruhata. One day Makoto tells Pop Step about an event in Osaka where she could perform as an idol. So Pop Step heads over along with Koichi. However, Koichi misses the train and uses his quirk to race alongside it. In desperation, he jumps onto the side of the train and surprisingly is able to hang on until the next stop. This new facet of his quirk opened opportunities for new ways to fight villains. Once they finally get to the site, they see a number of other idols. One in particular stands out as she's dressed as a crab and tells crab jokes. However, after she runs off by herself, mysterious things start happening around the venue. Will The Crawler and Pop Step be able to save the day?

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 was super fun to watch. You get to learn about the past of some of the side characters like Eraserhead, Captain Celebrity, and Makoto. I was a little bit disappointed with the ending, but not enough to disregard how good the rest of the season was. The season stays clean for the most part, but there are some outfits that are pretty revealing. I would definitely suggest giving Vigilantes a try even if you haven't seen the main My Hero Academia series. 

Marika's Love Meter Malfunction

One night while Kanata is with his childhood friend, Marika, they see a shooting star. After realizing that he's very unpopular, Kanata wishes that he could tell how much girls like him, like in a dating simulator. The next day he wakes up, and he can see all the girls love meters. However, when he looks at Marika's, it's like everything is draining out. Kanata believes this must be because she hates him. However, Marika loves Kanata so much that it can't be measured. Will Marika and Kanata be able to get together, or will misunderstandings keep them apart? 

Marika's Love Meter Malfunction was  pretty entertaining for an anime where the episodes are only five minutes long. There are multiple beach scenes, a bath scene, as well as other ecchi tropes like Marika only wearing an apron as she cooks in the kitchen. If you don't like ecchi anime, you can skip over this one. If lewd scenes don't bother you, then it might be worth a try.

Umayuru: Pretty Gray

Tamamo Cross and Oguri Cap create a takoyaki stand at the school festival. However, due to Oguri's voracious appetite all of the sauce is used up in the taste testing stage. Thanks to Gold Ship and Mejiro McQueen sharing their yakisoba ingredients, the four are able to come up with a unique dish together. 

Umayuru: Pretty Gray was fun to watch. While I wish Tomomo Cross and Oguri played a bigger part, I enjoyed learning about Umamusume that weren't part of the Cinderella Gray anime. If you enjoyed Umamusume: Cinderella Gray I would definitely suggest giving this a try. However, it's not directly connected to Cinderella Gray, so even if you haven't watched the anime, you could still enjoy it. 

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun Specials

The Drama club is having a summer training at the beach. They invite Nozaki-kun and his friends to come along. Meanwhile Wakamatsu is concerned about Kashima since he saw her with Seo at the summer festival. Luckily Nozaki clears up his concerns before they head to the beach. Nozaki believes the beach will provide wonderful opportunities for his Manga. However, the beach is so crowded that it's hard to see anything like guys trying to pick up girls, and even if it did happen they are too far away to hear anything. So Chiyo, Mikoto, and Nozaki use their imagination to voice over situations they see before them.

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun Specials was pretty hilarious. Even though the episodes are only three minutes long, I still found myself laughing at the unexpected events that happen. The majority of the episodes take place at the beach, so if you don't like swimsuit episodes in anime, you're probably better off skipping this one. However, if you enjoyed the main season, I would definitely suggest giving the special episodes a try.

Let's Make a Mug Too Season 2

After the competition, Himeno is at a loss of what to make next. One day she hears a story about how her mom traveled to cafe's all over Tajima for inspiration to build the perfect coffee cup. After her dad and the other customers finish telling the story, her dad makes room on the shelf where her mom's pieces are displayed and he tells her that this is where Himeno Toyokawa's masterpiece can be displayed. He hoped that that would give her a push to create something again, but all it did was put unnecessary pressure on her to create something great. Will Himeno find what she's looking for?

Let's Make a Mug Too Season 2 was fun. This season followed a similar pattern to season 1. It was a lot of slice of life scenes mixed with a bunch of different ceramics projects. I'm happy to note that Himeno did make a mug this season. The entire season was clean. There wasn't any swearing or lewd scenes. If you enjoyed Season 1 I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

In this world 80 percent of people have developed superpowers known as quirks. Those with powerful quirks go on to become heroes who are paid to help society. Those who disrupt the natural order of things are known as villains and are targeted by heroes. However, who helps people when there aren't any heroes around to save them? Koichi Haimawari has always wanted to be a hero, but he doesn't have a powerful enough quirk to become licensed. So he uses his quirk to perform community service like giving people directions, taking out the trash, and returning lost items to people. One day, while Koichi is talking with a street idol named pop step, they get attacked. a masked man called knuckleduster falls from the sky and saves them. He tells Koichi that he'll turn him into a hero. Together Knuckleduster, Pop Step, and Koichi now known as "The Crawler" form a team of Vigilantes; Heroes who work outside of the law. 

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes was more entertaining than I thought it would be. I partially started this to see if I would be interested in the main My Hero Academia Series and partially because I read the beginning of the manga. The I feel like the relationship between the two is like Sword Art Online and Gun Gale Online. While they both take place in the same world they feel pretty disconnected. I think it's a really fun series though. The Hero Association and the random villains popping out of nowhere reminded me a little bit of One Punch Man. There isn't any lewd scenes in the season, but there are some outfits that show a lot of skin if that bothers you. I would definitely suggest giving it a try. 

The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess: Yomi, Jealousy, and a Birthday / Iana and Sol's Feverish Day

Yomi's birthday is coming up and Iana wants to get him a gift that will really mean something. She sees an ad for an omnipotence potion, and goes to the store. However, the store doesn't have set hours, so everytime she goes, the store is closed. One rainy day a boy she had previously met shows up at the Magnolia estate and tells her that the store is opened. With luck Iana is able to arrive before the store closes and obtain a gift for Yomi.

To be honest I actually liked this episode better than the actual series. I did enjoy the series of course, but not as much as other anime that follow the reincarnated as a villainess trope. There isn't any lewd scenes or foul language. It's just a fun episode that takes place outside the normal storyline. Thanks to that you get to see different sides of Sol, Iana, and Yomi that don't really appear in the main anime. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch. 

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun

Chiyo Sakura has a crush on Nozaki-kun. After finally getting the courage to ask him out she instead says that she's always been a fan of his. In response Nozaki gives her his autograph. When she tries to clear up the misunderstanding by saying that she wants to always be with him, he asks her to help him with the manga he's creating. From then on they spend their days doing romantic activities to better understand what makes a Shojo manga good.

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun made me laugh more times than I can count. I love how even though their work relationship ended up due to a misunderstanding, they still get to spend time together because they both share a passion for art. While Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun isn't the type of romance that makes your heart flutter, the humor it has makes it well worth the watch. The anime has no lewd scenes, and there isn't any swearing either. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Let's Make a Mug Too

After her father's business failed in Tokyo, Himeno Toyokawa and her dad moved back to Gifu where her mother and father grew up. On her first day of high school Himeno introduces herself by pulling out cups that are used in her family's restaurant and advertises her father's new business. After class a fellow classmate pulls Himeno aside and takes her all the way to the pottery club. Mika Kukari recognized the creator of the cups and mugs and believed that Himeno was a collector of pottery. The pieces were made by Himeno Tokikawa, who is famous in the world of pottery, and also happens to be Himeno's mother. Watch as Himeno grows a love for pottery and learns to use it to put a smile on people's faces.

Let's Make a Mug Too was a fun little anime. Though the fact that they didn't actually make a mug is both hilarious and disappointing to me. However, there still is a chance in season 2. I will say that it kind of gave me the same vibes as a sports anime. The constant training to improve. the competition, and the slice of life scenes in between gave it a similar feel to Scorching Ping Pong Girls and Ro-Kyu-Bu. It also has a relaxing feel which kind of reminded me of Encouragement of Climb as well. There is an episode where the pottery club goes to the river in their swimsuits, but besides that it remains completely wholesome. I would definitely suggest giving it a try, if you are looking for a relaxing anime.   

Umamusume: Cinderella Gray Season 1 Part 2

After losing to Tamamo Cross at the Tenno Sho, Oguri is determined to beat her at the Japan Cup. Though Oguri can tell that Tamamo posesses something that she doesn't, and she won't be able to beat her unless she obtains it herself. Meanwhile Racers from all over the world come to japan to compete in the Japan Cup. Sensing that there could be trouble with all the unknown racers, Musaka sends Belno Light to work undercover as a reporter and learn everything she can, so Oguri can be prepared when the time comes. But will Belno's Research and Musaka's advice be enough to close the gap between where Oguri is and where she strives to be?

Umamusume: Cinderella Gray Season 1 Part 2 was absolutely wild. While the Japan Cup was intense, The Arima Kinen was even more so. While the races didn't seem as frequent as they did in the first cour, the ones that do happen are definitely worth the wait. I really enjoyed seeing more slice of life type scenes this time around. I feel like you get to know Oguri's classmates a lot more, which is really fun, and makes you want to see more of them. Yaeno Muteki, Sakura Chiyono O, Mejiro Arden, and Dicta Striker in particular left an impression on me. The season has no lewd scenes, but there is a bit of swearing here and there. If you enjoyed the first cour, I would definitely suggest giving the 2nd cour a watch as well.

Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS (Season 2)

It's summer vacation and Airi, Tomoka, Hina, Maho, and Saki have all made plans to go to a summer festival. Unfortunately Tomoka's father feels that she has been spending too much time on basketball, and should spend the summer improving herself. So he forbids her from going. Once Subaru hears about this, he talks to Tomoka's mom who agrees to let Tomoka go if Subaru is with her. Afterwards, while Tomoka is practicing basketball at Subaru's house they run into a little girl who challenges Tomoka to a one vs one. Will she be able to win?

Ro-Kyu-Bu! Season 2 was pretty funny with the slice of life scenes. However, the basketball games had me captivated, wondering who would win. There are panty shots, bath scenes, a hot springs episode, as well as a shower scene. If you don't like lewd scenes then you can probably avoid this one. However, If you watched Season 1 and enjoyed it, I would suggest giving season 2 a try.

OSHI NO KO Season 3

It's been six months since B-Komachi's latest song. Aqua has started doing a talk show, while Akane is in a movie. Mem-cho and Kana continue their work as idols, while Ruby manages to rise in popularity by making a surprise appearance as a reporter on Aqua's current show. This makes the subscriber count for B-Komachi's Youtube channel skyrocket, So much so that Kana and Mem wonder if they are actually helping the group. Will things continue to work out as they have been, or will the toxic entertainment industry become too much for Aqua and Ruby to bear?

I will admit I didn't like Oshi No Ko Season 3 as much as the other 2 seasons. It doesn't get very involved with the behind the scenes stuff with Aqua's talk show like season 2 did with the 2.5D stage play of Tokyo Blade. It focuses more on the mystery of Ai's death. It was actually kind of stressful to watch, but at the same time there were parts of it that made me laugh really hard though. I was wondering if I was even going to try and watch the fourth season when it comes out, but after seeing the finale I definitely am going to watch it. Everyone dresses modestly and the language is clean. If you enjoyed the first two seasons I would suggest giving the third one a try, but just know it has a completely different vibe from before.
