Seven Senses of the Re'Union


When he was in elementary school Haruto Amo played the MMO game Union with his friends. However, after his friend Asahi dies the guild known as Subaru falls apart and Union was shut down. Haruto didn't touch video games again until he gets a call from someone he knows telling him that a new version of Union has come out called Reunion. Reluctantly Haruto logs on with his old information to help with a quest. When they reach the end they find a chest and fearing it might be a trap they ask Haruto to open it. What he finds is more surprising than any trap he could have run into. Asahi pops out of the chest with no memory of the past six years. Will Haruto be able to solve the mystery of how Asahi is still alive?

I have mixed feelings about Seven Senses of the Reunion. I am really glad to have found another Adventuring anime, and the action and story is really well done in my opinion. However, this seemed to be more emotional than your usual isekai anime. That made it harder to watch for me. It bears a shocking resemblance to Anohana: The flower we saw that day. However, it has a much more satisfying ending than Anohana did in my opinion. It does swear a little bit in each episode. There is a scene where you see Satsuki and Asahi in bathing suits when they are on the beach waiting for a quest. There is also a part where Asahi falls in the river and takes off her clothes, but Haruto hides her so you don't see anything. The only other thing is that you see Nozomi wearing a revealing outfit in the last episode for a few minutes. I would definitely suggest it if you are looking for something different than your usual isekai anime. It has a lot of depth which I think is good.

Ya Boy Kongming!


As he takes his dying breath Kongming wishes to be born in a world without war where he can live peacefully. The next thing he knows he wakes up on the streets of Shibuya, Japan on Halloween. Since It is halloween people believe that he is dressed in a Kongming costume rather than being the reincarnation of Kongming. After getting drunk Kongming meets a songstress named Eiko whose music touches his soul, and he offers to be her tactician as she reaches for her dream. With his knowledge of war Kongming helps Eiko rise higher than ever before in her journey to stardom.

Ya Boy Kongming! was a lot better than I was expecting. Something super cool is that Kongming explains what tactic he used, how it was used in the past, and how it can be used in the present. The Music is also good. There is a swear word or two in just about each episode. There is a shower scene which is censored and a hot springs scene but you only see the head and shoulders of Eiko and Nanami.

Buddy Daddies


Miri is sent off by her mother to go find her father on Christmas day. Unfortunately two hitmen are after her father and Miri gets stuck in the middle of a gunfight. After Miri's father is killed, one of the hitmen Kazuki Kurusu decides to look after her with his partner in crime Rei Suwa. Will Rei and Kazuki have what it takes to take care of Miri and continue their responsibilities as assassins?  

Buddy Daddies was really good. It had a similar feeling to Spy Family, but the difference in personalities as well as the way the families go about their lives makes it completely different. Buddy Daddies helps you to see the love that Kazuki and Rei have for Miri with the way that they interact with each other. Buddy Daddies does swear quite a bit, but nobody dresses immodestly so it is clean in that regard. If you like anime's about families I would definitely suggest this one.

So I'm a Spider, So What?


After an explosion goes off in a Japanese classroom, an entire class of students as well as the teacher are reincarnated into another world. While most of them were reincarnated as humans one of the student was reincarnated as a spider in the Elroe Labyrinth. While everybody else is busy waiting nine months to be born, Kumoko was born right away and spent all her time fighting monsters in the labyrinth and gaining skills so she could find a way out. Watch as the weak spider Kumoko learns to fight and win when she is incredibly outmatched.

I loved "So I'm a Spider, So What?" a lot more than I thought I would. It swears a lot, but the series remains modest save for about three seconds of the last episode when kumoko is evolving. If you skip the part right before the theme song the entire series will be clean. The story switches between kumoko in the labyrinth and her classmates. I thought this was a cool thing to do similar to what happens in "The Fruit of Evolution: Before I knew it My Life Had It Made". I would definitely suggest this one if you are a fan of Isekai Anime.

TEPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing 'til You Cry


Five groups of girls sign up for a comedy competition known as Teppen. Their goal is to stay the longest in a dorm called Takako-so all while performing comedy skits and making people laugh. Even though they are rivals Young Wai Wai, Bullet Kunoichi, Celebri-Tea, The Invaders, and Akudare Kingdom all learn to get along and help each other when they are in need. Who will make it to the top when the real competition finally arrives?
  
This show was absolutely hilarious to me. I found myself laughing over and over though not to the point of crying. This anime has a lot of pros to it. It only swears around three times and there is no immodesty. Each episode stands on its own so it is easy to watch over a period of time rather than binge it since there isn't one overarching story, but a story per episode. All of the jokes are also clean which is another plus. If you like comedy anime I would definitely suggest this one.

Suzume


One day while Suzume is on her way to school she runs into a man named Sota who asks her if she knows of any ruins nearby. After giving him general directions she feels compelled to go herself to the ruins. When she arrives Souta is nowhere to be found, but there is a door standing alone with no walls to hold it. After opening the door and walking through it she heads back to school where she sees what seems to be a fire, but she is the only one who can see it. When she arrives at the spot it is coming from she Sees Sota trying to close the door which she had left open. After helping him close the door she goes on a journey to try and close other doors throughout Japan before destruction can befall the cities.

Suzume was really good. It only swears a few times, and everybody dresses modestly throughout the movie. I love how real the characters feel and the beauty of the animation. More importantly I think the message it shares is really good and thats the importance of emotions. Sota says in the movie "emotions keep the world grounded." It's something that I had not considered, but when you think of a place that's abandoned, It doesn't feel the same as a place brimming with life.

Handyman Saitou in Another World


Right before getting hit by a truck Saito is summoned to another world. In this world he becomes an adventurer with an old mage named Morlock, a warrior named Raelza, and a moon fairy named Lafanpan. They traverse the Great Dungeon in hopes of finding treasure. While Saito does not have magic he uses his handyman skills to pick locks, fix armor, and help Morlock with spells he has forgotten. With this new environment Saito is able to find joy with the people who surround him.

Handyman Saito in Another World was very funny. However, it does swear quite a bit. You also see people shirtless a number of times. This includes Raelza when she takes her armor off and her shirt laces come undone, or when she gets out of bed. It also shows Lafanpan shirtless right before she takes a bath, and when she wakes up. There is also a moment When Morlock turns into a woman from receiving so much magic power and it shows him shirtless. If that bothers you I would avoid this one. One thing I did like about it was it went with little clips making it have a skit performance feel, rather than one continuous story.

The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World


Haruyoshi Kuga has always sought for power, and he eventually became the strongest in his world. However, this eventually brought about his downfall. Before he dies he casts a spell that causes him to reincarnate. He is reborn as Seika Lamprogue, the illegitimate child of a noble who has no magic power. Because of his heritage and his lack of magic, he is ignored by his family, with the exception of his brother Gly who bullies him. Seika eventually shows his family that he can use magic and is sent off to the magic academy in the capital.

The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World was really good in my opinion. It only swears about four times. You do see the hero Amyu undressed from the back so that Seika can check for curses in the fourth episode. But besides that everybody dresses modestly. If that doesn't bother you I would definitely give it a try, especially if you are a fan of Isekai anime.

Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte


Lieselotte Riefenstahl is the villainess of the game Magikoi. However, Aota Endo and Shihono Kobayashi don't see it that way. They believe that Lieselotte is a tsundure and just has trouble showing how she really feels. As part of the broadcasting club Kobayashi has Endo play Magikoi with her and do commentary so that he can become better for the club. They soon find out that Prince Siegwald can hear everything they say and believes that they are gods. With this new knowledge Endo and Kobayashi give him guidance to try and make it so that everybody will have a happy ending.

This was actually a really wholesome anime. There is some swearing but it does not happen too often. Everybody dresses modestly throughout the whole thing. This had a similar feeling to I'm the villainess so I'm taming the final boss as well as My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom. If you have seen either of those and liked them I would definitely suggest this one as well. I believe it is worth watching.

Demon Lord, Retry!


After shutting down the server to his game, Akira Oono is sent to another world as his character Hakuto Kunai. right away he meets a little girl named Aku who has been sent as a sacrifice to a monster, which Hakuto beets in a matter of seconds. Because of this feat Aku believes that Hakuto is the Demon Lord. Since He is stuck there Hakuto decides to learn more about this world, as well as make a business making a hospital as well as a hot springs resort. With this business he is able to take care of Aku as well as the other people who decide to follow him. However, word of him being the demon lord spreads which causes him to make enemies. Will Hakuto be able to complete his endeavors as he makes his way in the world?

The story for Demon Lord, Retry! was interesting and kept me wanting more. It does swear quite a bit and because the business he creates is a hot springs resort you see a lot of the girls chests exposed. There is also an adventurer who wears a revealing outfit throughout the series. Some parts are censored but not the whole thing. If you like isekai and those things don't bother you I would give it a try.

Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire


In his first life Inglis created his own country and became king, spending all his time ruling over his people. Right as he is about to die he makes a wish to be reincarnated and live a life practicing his skills as a fighter. His wish gets granted and he is reborn with the same name as a girl. In this new life there is no record of the country he once ruled, and the world is overrun with monsters called magicite beasts. The strongest of these is known as a prismer. so Inglis makes it her goal to beat a prismer all by herself. Will Inglis be able to obtain the skills she needs in order to fulfill her dream?

This was a pretty good anime as far as the story goes. The action is also well done in my opinion. There is a lot of cleavage throughout the series though. There are also bath scenes in episode three and episode nine. There is some swearing at the beginning but the majority of the anime's language stays clean. If you don't mind cleavage I would definitely suggest this one if you are a fan of fantasy.

Wolf Children


After meeting a mysterious man at her college who looks like he needs help, Hana decides to learn more about him. As She spends more time with him she learns that he is a werewolf and they get married. After having two kids Hana's husband dies and she decides to move to the country where less people will look into their situation. It is there that Hana raises Ame and Yuki while learning how to farm so she can provide for her kids. Watch Yuki and Ame grow up and see the events that make them identify themselves as either wolf or human. 

This Movie is really good. The language is completely clean. There is a part at the beginning where you see Hana and her husband shirtless but Hana is covered by her bedsheets so her chest isn't revealed. Besides that everybody dresses modestly. I would definitely suggest it. It goes at a good pace and the story is interesting if you like slice of life type anime.

KONOSUBA -God's blessing on this wonderful world!- Legend of Crimson

 

After Yunyun comes running to Axel for Kazuma's help. She hands Megumin a letter saying that the clan of the crimson demons are being attacked by the devil king and are going to die. After realizing that the letter isn't written by the chief, they calm down and Yunyun leaves. Though to be safe Kazuma asks Wiz to teleport them to the village of the crimson demons. It turns out that one of the devil king's generals is attacking. Will Kazuma and his team have what it takes to best the devil king again?

After watching this I really enjoyed it. It was a lot better than the series. There was some swearing but not too much. The demon king general Sylvia dresses inappropriately with a dress that exposes her chest. The same goes for Yunyun. There is a part where Sylvia gets swallowed up in slime and her clothes start to disappear. So that's something to note if you decide to watch it. 

Sekko Boys


After graduating from Art School Miki Ishimoto manages to land a job as the manager over a boys idol group known as Sekko Boys. While she is determined to do her best she soon finds that the boys aren't willing always willing to put in the work to make it big. Will Miki have the willpower to do what it takes to make Sekko Boys stars?

While this was not what I expected I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It is not your typical music anime, because there is only one performance, the rest is them talking on variety shows. The dialogue is absolutely hilarious in every episode though. There is some swearing, but it is not overbearing. Everyone dresses modestly. If you are looking for a comedy this is one to try.

BURN THE WITCH


For years dragons have been treated as fairytale's around Front London. What they don't know is that dragons still exist, but they can only be seen by people from Reverse London. So it became the job of reverse Londoners to keep the dragons under control. However, that becomes harder as Ninny and Noel are asked to take care of a boy named Balgo Parks who draws dragons toward him.

Burn The Witch was pretty good. Even though it's recent the art style kind of reminds me of Studio Ghibli movies. There was swearing in it. Everybody dresses modestly in it. There is a dog who says show me your panties though. Overall this wasn't my favorite, but it was worth watching. It's only three episodes so it goes by pretty fast. 

Call of the Night


One night after having a hard time at school, Kou Yamori goes out at night. After walking around he runs into Nazuna Nanakusa. She shows him the real joys that can happen at night. After spending time with her he learns that she is a vampire. Kou then decides that he wants to become a vampire too. However, in order to become a vampire you need to fall in love with one, and Kou doesn't know what love feels like. Will he be able to make his dream come true, or will he have to ignore the call of the night.

Call of the Night was pretty good. There was some swearing, but I didn't notice it much. In order to suck his blood, Nazuna has Kou come over to her house and fall asleep, because blood tastes the best when people are asleep. There is also a scene in the last episode where Kou goes over to someones house that he knows and you see them in the shower. However, while you are previously led to believe that its a girl he was talking with it is actually a guy. I would recommend it if you like slice of life and don't mind seeing a guy shirtless.

Anime-Gataris


Minoa Asaguya wakes up one day after having a dream about an anime she saw when she was little. After asking her friend about it at school she is overheard by Alice who asks to meet her after school. After finding out that Alice likes anime Minoa wants to help her despite not knowing much. So she takes her to find the anime club only to find that it has been shut down. Alice then convinces Minoa to help her restart the anime club. Watch as the anime club watches and creates anime as well as goes to places that are important to anime culture.

Anime-Gataris was a lot better than I was expecting. It is mostly clean except for a still shot of girls at a hot springs in episode 3. there is quite a bit of swearing which mainly comes from the talking cat. However, I thought it was really relatable. They address topics which I thought were really funny. I would definitely suggest it.

Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout


After getting drunk and wishing that he was so cute that everyone would fawn all over him, Hinata Tachibana is transported to another world as a girl with the ability to charm anyone who looks at her face. However, Hinata's friend Tsukasa Jinguuji who was with him when he was drunk gets pulled in with him and his stats are way above Hinata's. Will they be able to save the world from the demon lord and his demons?

I think that this one is definitely worth watching if you like Isekai. There is some swearing here and there, but it is not really noticeable. Everyone is dressed modestly until Tachibana and Jinguuji go to the temple of the goddess who sent them to this world where the dress code is to be in a swimsuit.

Spy Classroom


After being held back due to her failings Lily gets the opportunity to be part of a provisional team. However, everyone else on the team is a failing student from different academies as well. Their team was made to complete an impossible mission. These missions have a ninety percent chance of death even for professional spies. Will this ragtag group of failures have what it takes to complete the mission?

Spy Classroom was an entertaining anime. However, there is swearing throughout each episode, as well as nudity throughout it. In the first episode you see a shot of them in the bath together, there is also an episode where their leader walks in on one of the girls after she gets out of the shower, but her back is toward the camera. There are also parts where the girls wear clothes that show cleavage. If that doesn't bother you then I think it is worth a watch. I should let you know that everything is not in chronological order, but the anime lets you know at what point in time something happened.

Sing a Bit of Harmony


In a world that's run by Artificial Intelligence, Hoshino Laboratory has decided to make an AI that can live among the public without anyone noticing its a robot. However, Shion Ashimori their new robot doesn't exactly have the personality of your everyday teenager. Even though Shion is different she still manages to make friends at school, and heal relationships that have been weakened.

Sing a Bit of Harmony is a movie I would definitely suggest. There is no swearing and everybody dresses modestly throughout the movie. There are a lot of good messages that can be seen throughout the movie such as serving others even if they don't notice, doing what you can to make someone happy, and making friendships despite what others think of you.

Bananya and the Curious Bunch


Bananya is a banana cat who lives on a planet next to earth. While he does not know what earth is he takes an interest in it. After helping out a bunch of Bananya's like himself he is granted his wish by rainbow bananya where he is sent to earth and meets lots of friends.

Bananya and the Curious Bunch is completely clean. There is no swearing, and everyone dresses modestly. Crunchyroll has Bananya listed as the first season, but I would watch Bananya and the curious bunch first as it leads into Bananya.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S: Miniature Dragon


Miniature Dragon is a series of sixteen 2 minute shorts. Each episode goes through what each individual dragon does in their daily lives. Some interesting ones are when Kanna goes to school, as well as when Fafnir experiences a blackout. 

There is no swearing in any of the episodes. The characters all dress modestly except for one who has cleavage, but she only appears in one episode. Overall I would definitely check it out if you are interested in slice of life and want something short to pass the time.

Hanamaru Kindergarten


After recently graduating Naozumi Tsuchida gets a job as the only male teacher at Hanamaru Kindergarten. He instantly falls in love with another teacher named Nanako Yamamoto, however she happens to be completely unaware of his affections no matter how he confesses. A girl in his class named Anzu also has a crush on him and fights for his affection. Watch and see how each character tries to grow closer to one another.

Hanamaru Kindergarten is a cute and wholesome anime. It only swears a few times. There are two episodes where you see Nanako Yamamoto in a bikini though. Every episode had me smiling as I got to see the antics that Hiiragi, Anzu, and Koume get into as they spend their days in Kindergarten.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc

After noticing how weak the new demon slayers are, The Master orders that the Hashira train the other demon slayers to make them stronger. I...
