The Detective Is Already Dead

Kimihiko Kimizuka has always had a predisposition for running into trouble. He has stumbled into so many crime scenes that the police started to suspect him. So when one day he is asked to take a suspicious suitcase on board a plane he doesn't even question why. Once he gets on the plane and sits down a voice asks over the speaker if there happens to be a detective on board. The girl next to Kimihiko stands up and says that she is a detective. She then turns to Kimihiko and asks him to be her sidekick. Kimihiko decides to go along with her, even though he still had his questions regarding the situation. The girl says that kimihiko can call her by her code name, Siesta. As they walk away from all the passengers they learn that the plane has been hijacked by a mysterious man who uses the code name Bat. He tells Siesta and Kimihiko that he will let everyone go if they are able to guess the reason that he hijacked the plane. After talking about themselves Bat lets it slip that he has too much time on his hands. Siesta deduces that the reason he hijacked the plane is because he was bored. Bat admits that she guessed correctly but he still starts a fight. As kimihiko wonders what to do he rembers the case that he was asked to bring as a carry-on and throws it to Siesta who breaks it open and reveals a gun hidden inside. After the fight is over she tells kimihiko that it was no coincidence that they were on board together. She also admits that she was the one who arranged for him to bring the case onboard. After that Siesta asks for him to continue helping her. And thus begins their three year adventure together.

The Detective is Already Dead was more interesting than I thought it would be. While things don't happen in chronological order you still get an idea of what happened in the past with flashbacks. The majority of the season stays clean. There is a short shower scene in the last episode though. Overall, it wasn't my favorite mystery anime, but it was definitely worth the watch.

Dungeon People

Clay was raised by her dad who constantly raided dungeons. He taught her everything he believed she needed in order to survive a dungeon. However, one day he disappeared leaving only a note and a dagger for Clay to use. While Clay was raiding the Antomerg dungeon she runs into a minotaur who serves as the eighth floor's guardian. during their fight a wall breaks and the minotaur does something Clay never expected. He asks her to stop the fight because the dungeon administrator will be arriving due to the broken wall. After getting information on what happened the dungeon administrator Beilleheila Langdass pulls Clay aside and asks if she would be willing to work as part of the dungeon staff. Clay says that she'll do it if Beilleheila can beat her in a fight. Naturally, as the dungeons final boss, Belle defeats Clay in under a minute. And thus begins Clay's journey of learning what goes on behind the scenes of a dungeon.

While Dungeons may seem like an overdone trope of the fantasy anime genre, Dungeon People gives a truly unique take on it. I think what I enjoyed the most was learning about the monsters like Pekkomo, Teruru, and Binky. The language in the anime is clean, and the characters all dress modestly. It's honestly hard to find an anime to compare this to. I was reminded of delicious in dungeon a little bit because in delicious in dungeon they do talk about the mechanics of the dungeon they are exploring. If you are looking for a new dungeon themed anime I would definitely give this one a try.  

Plus-Sized Elf

Naoe is your average human who works at a health office. His day seemed to be going just like any other until a strange woman walks in. He learns her name is Elfuda and she has a habit of eating too many french fries. So he agrees to train her so that she can lose the excess weight she has gained. accidentally her hat covering her ears falls off and Naoe learns that Elfuda is a real elf that came here from another world. Will he be able to get her back in shape?

Plus-Sized Elf felt pretty similar to Anime de training at first. But then it turned into more of a story rather than just exercise videos. In my opinion this was a good change. It also has a similar feel to Peter Grill and the Philosophers Time. While the girls in this have better personalities, the ecchi elements felt similar. There was a bath scene, a sauna scene, a shower scene, and multiple scenes where the girls clothes rip due to them being overweight. If you try to stay away from the ecchi genre, I would skip this one. However, if you don't mind the ecchi elements its an interesting anime about different ways you can lose weight and work out which I thought was interesting.

I Parry Everything

Noor has always dreamed of being an adventurer ever since he was a child. When his mom suddenly dies he decides to fulfill his dream. After visiting the adventurers guild who turned him away he went to six different training locations to became a swordsman, warrior, hunter, thief, magician and Cleric. However after spending three months at each training location he is turned away and told that their class isn't a good fit for him and he should go elsewhere. So he goes into the mountain and trains everyday for fourteen years. After that he returns to the adventurers guild and is made an F-Rank adventurer. While F-Rank's aren't allowed to take monster requests this doesn't bother Noor at all. He is satisfied doing work like construction and cleanup around the city. It isn't until he hears a girl screaming in a nearby cave and he goes to save her that his adventure truly starts.

I Parry Everything was a cool and relaxing anime. It moves at a good pace and the story is interesting. The language is clean and the characters all dress modestly. If you are looking for a good adventure anime you should give I Parry Everything a try.  

Lucky☆Star

Konata, Tsukasa, Kagami, and Miyuki spend their days doing anything fun they can think of. When they are not at a festival or school event they each have their own hobbies. konata spends her time watching anime, and gaming. Tsukasa likes to spend her time reading manga. While Kagami also likes to read, she reads books that will further increase her knowlege of subjects she believes will be useful. Konata often takes advantage of that by copying her homework rather than doing it herself. While Miyuki seems to spend her time with her mom, she also seems to be well informed and is someone Konata goes to when she has questions. Together they find answers to meaningless and meaningful questions alike as they live their high school life to the fullest.

Lucky Star is honestly pretty hard to describe. The first few episodes were pretty hard to get into at first. I think Konata asking the same question over and over bothered me. I think the show became more interesting once the characters started going to different events like Comiket, school festivals, as well as festivals put on by the city. The langauge is clean. The visuals stay pretty clean as well though there is a bath scene or two. Overall, if you like slice of life anime you can give it a try.  

Saint Cecilia & Pastor Lawrence

Saint Cecilia acts and communicates perfectly to everyone in the village who visits the church. However, her true self comes out when her and Pastor Lawrence are alone. She lazes around and relies on him to do the housework. But as she spends more time outside she begins to let the act drop and just be herself. The fact that she loves the Pastor is clear for anyone to see. Both Cecilia and Lawrence are happy with the way their life is. Though deep down Cecilia wants more from their relationship. So, when a friend of Lawrence's named Abel shows up, Cecilia opens up to him about her feelings for Lawrence, and Abel decides to try and get Cecilia & Lawrence to do things that will make them become closer.

Saint Cecilia & Pastor Lawrence is another romance where the Main Character is as dense as a brick. However, it didn't bother me because even though Lawrence is unaware of Cecilia's romantic feelings for him, he still treats her right. Oftentimes, the dense main character will either ignore the girl who likes him or become mean at times. So the dynamic between these two was very refreshing for me. While I do wish it had a better ending, the ending was still good. The anime stays wholesome for the most part. There is a bath scene but it doesn't distract you from the story. The Language also remains clean which I really enjoyed. I think if you like wholesome romance anime you should give this one a try.

Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-

Aoi Tsubaki has always been able to see Ayakashi. After her Mother left her she was raised by her grandpa Shiro Tsubaki. Shiro had the power to travel to the hidden realm where the Ayakashi live. It is there that he became well known and accrued massive debt. To settle the matter he offered up his granddaughter Aoi to be the wife of an Ayakashi known as the Ogre God. Once Aoi had grown up the Ogre God came for her and brought her to the hidden realm. Refusing to marry him, Aoi claimed that she could find another way to pay off her grandfather's debt. While nobody seemed willing to accept her at first the nine tailed fox Ginji claimed that there was a place nearby where no matter what kind of business was there it always seemed to fail. It was then that Aoi decided to turn it into her own restaurant.

I didn't have too high of expectations when I started to watch Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-, however, the more I watched the more I enjoyed it. While it is another restaurant anime, it feels different from others. While it takes place in another world, it doesn't follow the common tropes you see in fantasy anime. There are no humans in this world nor are there the magical races you typically see in fantasy such as dwarves & elves. All of the beings being Ayakashi give Kakuriyo a unique feel that made me want to see what will happen next. While there is a hot springs and multiple bath scenes, the majority of it stays clean. If you are looking for a unique supernatural anime I would give this one a try.

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan Season 2

Dokuro-chan is back along with Sabito, Zakuro, and Sakura. Currently Sakura and Dokuro's class is planning a trip into the forest so they can paint pictures of nature. However, after Sakura wants to play a prank on Dokuro-chan he falls into the river instead. After getting out he tries to spend the day with Shizuki but is stopped by Dokuro and Minami. Will Sakura ever get together with Shizuki?

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan Season 2 was somewhat better than season 1. It felt like there was less violence. Also assassins aren't after Sakura anymore. So he is now living with both Dokuro and Zakuro now. However, something that is worse is the fan service. The bath scene is on the level of kiss x sis. There is also a scene where Dokuro undresses to warm up Sakura after he passes out. Overall, I would suggest skipping it if you are uncomfortable with the ecchi genre.

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan

Sakura Kusukabe is your typical middle schooler. However unlike most middle schoolers he is living with an angel named Dokuro-chan. Unlike most angels Dokuro has a habit of killing Sakura and then reviving him. She also tries to stop him from achieving academic success. After the organization from the future that Dokuro-chan comes from sends an assassin to kill Sakura, he finally learns why. Twenty years in the future Sakura figures out how to give people immortality. In order to prevent that from happening all the angels are determined to kill Sakura so that that future never comes to fruition. Will Sakura make it out of this alive?

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan is the most chaotic anime I have seen. I originally gave this a try because it was only a few episodes long. However, after watching it, there are some things that I have a problem with. First of all is the gore. I don't mind some amount of blood when watching anime, but this one had too much. I was also unsatisfied with the art style. However, since it was made in 2005 this was typically the art style used at the time which you can see in anime's that were made in a similar time frame like Clannad. There were also a number of scenes with panty shots, see through shirts from getting wet, as well as scenes where Dokuro is seen with only a towel on. The language stays clean though. Overall, it isn't one that I would suggest. However, I did enjoy the test of courage scene. Seeing Dokuro and Sakura holding hands without any violence was nice.

Seton Academy: Join the Pack!

On Jin's first day at Seton Academy he runs into a wolf named Ranka. While Ranka has spent most of her time alone she feels like she can trust Jin and asks him to join her pack. The only thing is Jin hates all animals. He is very unsatisfied with his situation until he meets Hitomi Hino the only other human at Seton Academy. Though talking with her becomes difficult because Ranka wants to spend all her time with Jin and is willing to fight others if it can mean the two of them can stick together. After Jin sees Ranka mistreated by a zebra he saves her and agrees to be part of her pack. Together Hitomi, Jin and Ranka create the cooking club where different species gather and become friends.

Seton Academy was a pretty interesting anime. It's definitely different from your typical high school romance anime. Something that was cool about Seton Academy is the fun facts about different animals you learn. The downside for some is that there are a lot of fan service scenes. There's a pool scene, a bath scene, hot springs scenes, as well as the student council president who throws off her clothes because she is a naked mole rat. If you want to see a unique anime where humans and animals both attend school, give it a try.

The Maid I Hired Recently is Mysterious

After Yuuri loses his parents in a car crash, he can't afford to keep any of the staff in his mansion and decides to live alone. Not long after he sent everyone away a girl shows up asking to be his maid. The funny thing is she doesn't want any money, only a place to live and work. Despite how happy she seems to be Yuuri can't help but be suspicious of her. Why did she come to the mansion? Why does he constantly think about her? And how are her eyes so beautiful? Yuuri is convinced that she must be some kind of sorceress. Will he be able to find out the secrets that she has been keeping?

The Maid I Hired Recently is Mysterious is slow at first, but it gets better the more you watch. I at least thought it was a better romance than The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague. The language remains clean throughout the series, which is good. There were two bath scenes, and Lilith's maid uniform shows cleavage. Besides that the anime remains clean and wholesome. If you want a cute romance, I would give this one a try.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague

Its Mio Fuyutsuki's first day at a new job, and on her way to work she comes across a peculiar sight. A man's feet are frozen in blocks of ice despite being in the sun. After talking with him a little bit she learns that his name is Himuro and he is a descendant of a snow woman. So the blocks of ice holding him in place are created from the nervousness at getting his first job as well. After they go their separate ways Himuro arrives at his workplace and learns that he is not only in the same department but actually desk mates with Fuyutski. Will their relationship stay the same or will it blossom into something more?

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague was an interesting romance. It kind of reminded me of Interviews with Monster Girls because of the whole supernatural beings in the real world part of the story. The romance felt too slow moving to me. Its like they do things a couple would do, but they're not a couple. While it isn't as bad as Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included, it didn't live up to my expectations. I don't know if that is because it was a workplace romance rather than a high school romance or not. However, there were some enjoyable parts. I think the supernatural element to the show is probably what saved it. Anyway, if you don't like high school romances and would like to watch an adult romance anime, this one might be worth trying. 

Train to the End of the World

After a girl arrives in Ikebukuro, she is greeted by a man surrounded by a huge crowd. He tells her that he is launching the newest technology available, 7G. However, when she presses the button, everything in the world changes. Meanwhile in Agano, the adult residents have all been turned into various animals. Not only that but the kids will turn into animals as well when they reach adulthood. High Schooler Shizuru Chikura is completely unconcerned by it. What is really on her mind is what has happened to her missing friend Yoka. One day she gets ahold of a newspaper and sees a picture of Yoka in Ikebukuro. Shizuru then learns how to drive a train by a resident in Agano who despite being an adult hasn't turned into an animal. right as she is about to take off on her journey she is joined by Yoka's dog Pochi, along with her school friends Reimi, Akira, and Nadeshiko. With the world changed so much, will they actually reach their destination safely? 

Train to the End of the World is probably the craziest anime I have seen so far. However, unlike the other weird anime's I've seen this anime's weirdness is totally intentional. It was slow starting out but after awhile it gets really good. The ending was absolutely amazing. Not only was it entertaining but it was satisfying as well. The anime is clean for the most part. There is a river scene, but besides that everybody dresses modestly. The language stays clean as well. If you want to experience an anime that will surprise you each episode this is the one to watch.  

Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san

Honda-san works at a Bookstore where he gets all kinds of customers. While he mainly works with foreign comics, the store has every type of book you can imagine. Not only does he talk about what its like to deal with customers, but also the relationships that you have to have professionally with people such as publishers, authors, wholesalers, etc. You also get a glimpse into what type of people work at bookstores. Each employee has a unique personality, but all of them are brought together through their love of books.

Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san isn't the most interesting anime you will watch, however it does have a unique feel. I feel like even among anime's where the characters work, Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san surpasses them in the feeling it gives you as if you were there right along with them. So while the anime was slow paced and didn't really have a story besides the day to day things that happen at a bookstore, it was still good.  While there isn't anything visually inappropriate in it, it does talk about BL Manga, and the Ecchi genre. It does swear a few times, but the language stays clean for the most part. Overall, if you like Slice of Life anime it might be worth a try.

Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?

In Kai's world there were five races, Humans, Celestials, Demons, Spirits, and Beasts. Thanks to a man named Sid all the races besides humans were either destroyed or sealed away. However, even though the war between the races has been long over, Kai still trained every day in case one of the races escaped. One day as he was going on a shopping trip with his childhood friend Jeanne he hears a voice talk about world reincarnation. Before he knew it Kai was transported to a world almost identical to his own. The only differences was Sid didn't exist, and the world was currently in the great war between the five races. Will Kai be able to solve the mystery of this world and return to his own?

Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World starts out slow but gets better as you go on. I'm not always satisfied with an ending of an anime, but this one ended in a way where the main issue is resolved so it doesn't feel like it needs a season 2. The anime is clean for the most part but there is a shower scene as well as a Hot Springs scene. In my opinion its not going to be the best anime you've ever seen, but if you like sci-fi, Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World is worth giving a try.

Quality Assurance in Another World

Nikola has grown up in a village, but feels unfulfilled. That is until she meets a man named Makoto Haga. She learns that he is a Kings Seeker, and wants to become one too. However, after her village is overrun by monsters she loses her life. Makoto leaves and wishes he could have saved them. As he is sitting by the fire Nikola appears before him, but it is not Nikola in the body but a meta AI named Tesla. She tells Makoto that their are a lot of debuggers or Kings Seekers who are abusing their power which is causing more bugs to appear. So Tesla asks that whenever he happens to find a debugger who is abusing their power that he take their debugger stone and give it to her. Tons of debuggers have been trapped in this world with no way to log out. Will Makoto be able to fix this world by himself?

Quality Assurance in Another World was slow at first but it got better the farther I got into it.While the trapped in a game world has been already done, the world the characters are in feels completely different from other game anime's. The most noticeable difference is the monsters. However, The characters use bugs in the game to their advantage which I don't really feel like has been done before. You could say it is done a little in Shangri-la Frontier, but it wasn't a big part of it. There is a bath scene, but besides that the anime stays clean. If you are looking for a game anime that feels different, I would suggest giving this one a try.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3

After Walpurgis ends, the demon lords each go back to their countries. In order to take care of the situation with Falmuth, Rimuru sends Diablo as well as Youm to give the nobles a choice as to what to do next. Naturally, they manage to resolve things peacefully by having king edmaris give up the throne as well as have the country pay a fine. However, the new king has no intention of paying Rimuru back and instead he starts hiring mercenaries. In order to resolve the situation with Hinata, Rimuru sends a message to her. But, things don't always go as planned, and the army of Lubellious heads towards Tempest with the goal to destroy Rimuru. Will Rimuru be able to handle all the problems coming his way?

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 was really good in my opinion. However, it doesn't have as much action as previous seasons which can be disappointing for some. The season flows really well though if you watch all the seasons back to back. It also is pretty clean with only a few Hot Springs scenes. Anyway if you liked the previous seasons of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, I would give Season 3 a try as well. 

Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells

While having a normal day at school Touka Mimori is transported to another world along with everybody else in his class. They are greeted by a goddess who assigns them different ranks based on the skills they obtained when they arrived in this new world. Seeing how Touka was the weakest she decides to send him to an Labyrinth where nobody who has gone there has returned alive. When Touka arrives he is instantly targeted by monsters. Luckily his Paralyze, Poison, and Sleep skills seem to work on any monster. With these skills he is able to escape the Labyrinth and start his revenge against the goddess.

Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells is different than what I expected. The Start kind of reminds me of Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest. I'm not usually picky about animation, but Failure Frame was weird. It was like it kept switching back and forth between 2D and 3D. There is a bath scene, a scene where Seras washes herself, as well as lots of cleavage. The language stays clean which is good. If you like Isekai type anime's Failure Frame might be for you.

No Longer Allowed in Another World

Right as he is trying to commit double suicide with his lover Sensei and Sacchan are hit by a truck. The next thing he knows Sensei is in another world. However, rather than becoming overpowered, Sensei has only 1 point of health, no skills, and has a permanent poison debuff. When the priestess Annette learns this she tells Sensei that he is No Longer Allowed in Another World. But, Sensei doesn't want to save the world, all he wants to do is die, so he walks away and comes across a catgirl who is being strangled by a treant. While she asks him to save her, Sensei jumps to try and after learning he can't reach her he is strangled by the treant as well. Thanks to the poison inside of him, The treant dies after attempting to suck out Sensei's life. Will Sensei ever get his wish and die?

No Longer Allowed in Another World felt slow at first, but it got better the farther in I went. In my opinion No Longer Allowed in Another World is something that should be watched episode by episode. Binging it just doesn't feel the same as other Isekai anime. The anime is pretty clean. There is some cleavage shown by Tama and Annete but it doesn't really get worse than that. The language is clean as well. If you are looking for an Isekai that feels different this one might be worth a try. 

The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies

Byakuya Mimori is the Magical Girl Glass Happiness. However, rather than doing it out of a desire to help others her only motivation is the money she makes. One day after slaying a dragon that was running rampant she runs into the Evil Lieutenant. Both of them fall in love at first sight. Rather than fighting, the Evil Lieutenant Mira brings Byakuya a chiffon cake. It is then that he learns about how much she is being overworked. After having meetings like this day after day the Evil Organization that Mira belongs to starts to get suspicious. Will both Mira and Byakuya find a way to be together?

The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies was super good. It is a really cute romance in my opinion. However, I wouldn't suggest it to just anyone. There is a character who basically only swears. Byakuya's Magical Girl Outfit has a lot of cleavage which may bother some people. There is also a scene where Byakuya is covered in slime, as well as a scene where Byakuya's familiar tries to make her wear an even more revealing outfit. While it is not for everyone I still really liked it and would suggest it to people looking for a good romance that don't mind some fan service.

Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools

A girl dies from overworking herself, and is reborn as Dahlia. Dahlia grows up watching her father who is a magic tool artisan. After seeing him show her a magic tool that projects different shapes and creatures as if they were floating, Dahlia makes it her goal to become a magic tool artisan as well. She has different ideas based on the things she experienced on earth, but her real success came when she created waterproof fabric using slimes. However, not everything always goes how you plan it to. Will Dahlia achieve her dreams?

Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools was better than I expected. It feels different from other slow life anime because slow life anime usually have jobs that aren't that uncommon in the real world like farming or running a store. Dahlia in Bloom is basically about an inventor which hasn't really been done before. The anime is wholesome. All the characters dress modestly and the language remains clean as well. If you are a fan of slow life anime I would give this one a try.

The Middle Aged Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible

Rick Gladiatol has had a dream since he was a child to follow in the footsteps of his hero Yamamoto. However, his parents thought it would be better for him to get a steady job. So instead of becoming an adventurer he became a receptionist at the adventurers guild. After fourteen years of working there he finally got his opportunity to go adventuring. Most people start adventuring when they are young to easily improve their magic. Thanks to an encounter with a dark elf named Reanette, Rick was introduced to a party full of S-Rank adventurers. Even though he started late all of them were happy to train Rick. So after two years of training in the mountains Rick was finally ready to take his E-Rank adventurer test. However, due to his age, nobody took Rick seriously. This had a negative effect on Rick despite his immense strength. Will Rick gain the confidence he needs to achieve his goals?

The Middle Aged Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible was better than I thought it would be. It starts out slow, but after the first few episodes it gets really good. The majority of the show is clean but there are some parts where the girls wear outfits with cleavage. If that doesn't bother you and you enjoy fantasy anime I would suggest giving it a try.

Kiss Him, Not Me

Kae Serinuma is an overweight boys love fangirl. She has always been one to watch romance from the side. However, when her favorite anime character Sion dies she holes up in her room for an entire week and loses all of her excess weight. When she finally goes back to school she is approached by four attractive guys who all ask her out on a date. Since she doesn't have any romantic experience she decides to go with all four of them. While they did attend a romantic movie she was more focused on picturing the guys she was with dating each other. Will Kae develop her own feelings for one of them?

I enjoyed Kiss Him, Not Me more than I thought I would. It made me laugh a couple times, which is always good. This anime deals a lot with shipping, and I actually found myself trying to figure out who I hoped Kae would end up with. It switches for me between Asuma Mutsumi and Yuusuke Igarashi. While Shima Nishina gets along well with Kae I think that she would be a better friend than significant other. I really like that even though they find out she's an otaku they all still accept her. The mixed harem gives the anime a unique feel. If you enjoy romance anime, but want to see something that feels different I would definitely give this one a try. 

Pseudo Harem

When Rin Nanakura starts her first day of high school she goes to find the Drama Club. While looking for it she meets Eiji Kitahama who says that he's actually the president of the Drama Club and shows her the way. He then introduces her to the real Drama Club President and claims he was just acting. One day while Eiji and Rin are talking Eiji mentions that he has always dreamed of having a harem like you see in light novels. So in an attempt to win his heart Rin starts acting like different characters to give Eiji the full harem experience.

Pseudo Harem is probably the best romance anime I have seen this year. It makes you feel the way every romance should. As I watched Eiji and Rin I got this warm feeling inside. The whole anime is super cute and feels unique. While it starts out as a high school romance that changes in the middle. I thought that it was super cool because it helps you feel like time is moving forward. Everybody dresses modestly and the language remains clean. If you are looking for a good romance, I would definitely suggest Pseudo Harem.  

Ramen Akaneko

After leaving her previous job Tamako Yahsiro hears from her aunt that there is a ramen place looking for help. When she goes in for the interview she is asked if she is a cat person. When Tamako responds that she is more of a dog person she is hired on the spot. The first thing she has to do is brush all the cats so that their fur doesn't get into the ramen. Next she works with a tiger named Krishna to create the noodles necessary for the day. While things mainly stay peaceful, troublesome people do come. Will Tamako be able to handle this new work environment?

I really enjoyed Ramen Akaneko. It was this seasons comfort anime for me. Every time I watched an episode it just made me feel really relaxed. All of the characters are really kind and you can feel the kind of atmosphere that the restaurant would have if you were actually there. This is the first time I have watched a food anime and wished I could be there in person. The anime has both clean language and the characters all wear modest clothing. If you like food anime's I would definitely give this one a try. 

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

Masachika Kuze sits next to the schools Ice Princess Alisa Kujo. While she appears to be disapproving of Masachika at first her true feelings come out in Russian. While Masachika pretends not to know what she is saying, he actually learned Russian growing up so he could talk with a girl he met. While he doesn't remember her name, he still wishes to talk to her again. While Alisa doesn't typically like people who slack off she respects Masachika enough that he is allowed to call her by her nickname, Alya. Will their relationship stay platonic or could it turn into something more?

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feeling in Russian is a fun and different Romance. While it does have the same structure as a lot of other high school romance anime's the whole both characters hiding things about themselves gives it a similar feel to Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. Though thats where the similarity stops. There is a bit more fan service than I was expecting. While there aren't any fan service staples like the beach episode or the hot springs episode, there are some cleavage and panty shots. The anime does swear as well if that is something that bothers you. If some minor fan service is alright with you I would definitely give this one a shot. 

My Deer Friend Nokotan

Torako Koshi has a history of being a delinquent. So since starting high school she has done everything she can to hide it. This includes getting perfect grades, becoming class president, as well as student council president. She has also changed her attitude to appear more kindhearted. However, this act is exposed when she saved a deer girl named Noko Shikanoko, who is hanging from a street light. Torako is then somehow roped into being the president of the deer club where her only purpose is to take care of Noko. Will she be able to handle everything that's being thrown at her at once?

My Deer Friend Nokotan is an anime worthy of awe. I say that like "ahh, what the heck did I just watch?" Every episode incites confusion. Despite it making absolutely no sense, theres something about it that makes you want to know what happens next. However, if you are left in confusion know that the creators intended it to be that way. There are multiple times throughout the anime where it tells you to basically just go along with it. Everybody dresses modestly, and the language is kept clean. Overall, it is worth giving a try, and if you don't like it you can always drop it.

A Whisker Away

Miyo Sasaki is known at school as Muge. It's short for Miss Ultra Gaga Enigmatic. She tries to get the attention of her crush Kento Hinode. However, he isn't at all interested in her. So the obvious solution is to take the form of a cat using a cat mask given to her by a talking cat. But, theres a catch to using it. Once you decide you would rather be a cat than a human you have to give up your human form which is then given to a cat that wants to be human. Life isn't always easy. Will Miyo get Kento to recognize his feelings, or will she be forced to give up her humanity?

A Whisker Away was simultaneously cute and cringey. I think the concept is interesting, and the only other time I have seen this in the romance genre is in My Life as Inukai-San's Dog. However, if you are looking for something cute and wholesome I would definitely go with A Whisker Away. The only cringey part is Muge's attempts at flirting. The movie is clean both in language and visually. Overall, I think it is worth watching. The ending is really good. It left me satisfied, so I wasn't left asking any questions, or wanting a sequel.

A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring

After being killed by a god, Takumi Kayano is sent to the world that he governs. As an apology the wind god grants Takumi a new body along with knowledge about this new world Etelldia. As he is wandering the forest he comes across two kids who seem to have been abandoned. At first they are scared of Takumi, but after he offers them food they warm up to him. Using Takumi's magic and Allen and Elena's strength the three of them make it through the forest and arrive at a town called Shireen. It is there that they become adventurers.

A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring was a super fun anime to watch. While people getting Isekaid and becoming adventurers isn't a new concept,  the characters and world made the anime super fun for me. I absolutely love when there is food related scenes in anime and this one had quite a bit of that as well. Allen and Elena make the anime feel unique since you never see kids become adventurers. While there are young characters like Fran from Reincarnated as a Sword and Mile from Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life, both of them are around the age of twelve while Allen and Elena are five. There is no swearing and the anime is clean visually as well. If you like the Isekai genre I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary

Jogoro Kobato has been obsessed with solving mysteries for as long as he can remember. But after being told that it was annoying those around him he made a goal to become ordinary. Yuki Osanai was in a similar situation and the both of them decided to lean on each other and become ordinary together. However, after getting into high school Jogoro found himself getting into more and more situations where a mystery needed solving. Some people even came directly to him to ask him for help. Will Jogoro and Yuki truly become ordinary?

I went in thinking that Shoshimin: How to Become Ordinary was a romance anime, so I was a little disappointed when I figured out it wasn't. However, I began to enjoy it when I learned it has a truly unique take on the mystery genre. Rather than solving murder mysteries, the mysteries Jogoro Kobato solves are more like puzzles that you might find in your daily life. One example is that the newspaper club had a plate of jelly filled desserts, One of them was supposed to be filled with mustard. Whoever got the mustard filled one would write the next article. However, everyone claimed that their dessert was jelly filled, so what happened to the mustard filled one?  It was these kind of situations that gave Shoshimin its charm. There is no fan service in it, and the language is completely clean. If you like mystery anime I would definitely give it a try. 

A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero

A few years ago dungeons started popping up in the real world. One of the first people to travel and search it was Captain Katsuragi. This man was a hero to Kaito Takagi who decided to become a dungeon explorer himself. However, he was unable to fight anything stronger than a slime for two years. Then one day he stumbled across a servant card for a valkyrie named Sylphy. This was the first step to making Kaito's dream of becoming a hero a reality. Slowly after that he was able to get stronger when he obtained another card for a Devil named Luceria. Together with these two Kaito became strong enough to delve further into the dungeon. Will Kaito reach his goal of being a hero, and what kind of hero will he be?

A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero kind of reminds me of solo leveling. While the fights and animation are not on the level of solo leveling, the concept of dungeons appearing in the real world is similar. The anime is mostly clean with the exception of a Hot Springs scene. If you like fantasy anime's with dungeons I would give this one a try.

My Wife Has No Emotion

After living alone for some time Takuma Kosugi decides to get a cooking robot from a second-hand shop. After making a comment about how he wishes that his new robot mina was his wife he wants to know how she sees him. When he finally gets the nerve to ask her how she sees him, Mina responds by saying that she is his wife. Now, their new married life starts. While the relationship is real to Takuma, how will his family react when they find out about this new development in his life?

I'm not going to lie, My Wife Has No Emotion felt pretty weird at first. Though after a few episodes it became a cute romance anime. Their is a Beach episode, as well as a bath scene. Besides that there isn't that much fan service. Seeing as the wife is a robot even the usual tropes didn't seem too ecchi.  This is one of the anime's that I would use the three episode rule to see whether you like it or not.

Bye Bye, Earth

In a world full of animal-human hybrids, Belle Lablac seems to be the only human. Despite being ostracized by the majority of people she is accepted by a few including a man named Sian who acts as her teacher. When word spreads of a monster taking over a villages water source Sian is contacted to help, but rather than go himself he sends Belle in his place. She defeats the monster with ease, However, only a few seem grateful for her help. When she returned and asked Sian why he didn't go himself he tells her he is under a curse that only allows him to teach. Soon after learning this Belle decides to go on a journey, but before she can go she has to pass a series of trials, as well as take on a curse of her own. Will she be able to do whats necessary to find out who she is and where she comes from?

Bye Bye, Earth felt really unique to me. Though at the same time there are elements that felt familiar such as peoples swords holding importance that is similar to having a life of their own. There is a little bit of fan service here and there but it is mainly just various characters showing cleavage. There is also a scene where Belle gets pinned down on a bed, but nothing happens beyond that. If you want a fantasy that is different from your typical adventurer type anime I would give this one a try.

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop

Cherry is a boy who helps the elderly for his job. These people often go to the mall for various classes such as dance and poetry. One day while he is helping a man named Fujiyama look for his lost record he runs into a girl named smile. This caused them to both drop their phones and switch them by accident. After getting home Smile finally learns what had happened and they reconnect to get their belongings. After that they talk and get to know one another with questions like why Cherry is always wearing headphones or why smile is always wearing a mask. As they grow closer Smile joins Cherry at his job helping the elderly. They are eventually taken to a store by Fujiyama that is completely full of various musical records. Believing that Fujiyama's lost record might be somewhere in the store Smile and Cherry decided to look for it. However, Fujiyama collapses during their search. Will Smile and Cherry be able to find it before its too late?

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop is not your typical romance anime. While Cherry and Smile do spend time together, it feels like they are almost never alone. Since it also takes place over summer break there aren't any school scenes. The animation is a little weird at the beginning, but you get used to it. The whole anime is completely clean both visually and verbally. So not having to worry about swearing or fan service is a plus. If you want a romance that is quick and feels different I would suggest giving Word's Bubble Up Like Soda Pop a try.

The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human

While Ike was born to two humans he was found next to his dead parents as a baby by the master magician Romberg. Romberg was a member of the Demon Lord's Army. With Romberg's help Ike learned how to disguise himself as a demon as well as how to use all the knowledge and magic that Romberg possessed. With his knowledge and prowess, Ike rose to the position of commander of the undying brigade serving under a witch named Cefiro. After overtaking the city of Arsenam over the course of a week Ike finally earned the right to meet the demon lord. As a reward for his efforts, Ike was made ruler over the city of Ivalias. This was an expression of the Demon Lord's trust in Ike since Ivalias is at the forefront of the war between the demons and humans. Rather than kill the humans like most demons would do when taking over a city, Ike made it a goal to create a world where demons and humans can live in harmony. Will Ike be able to achieve his ambition?

The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human was a pretty interesting watch. I watched it around four times before the season was finished. There is a little fan service throughout the series but not a lot. there is a scene where Cefiro is in the bath, as well as a scene where she is in a pool. There is some swearing but it wasn't too noticeable. If you like the fantasy genre I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

Gods' Games We Play

After a girl is found trapped in ice, she is brought to the city. They learn that she is a former God by the name of Leoleshea. Her request is for them to bring her the greatest game player this world has to offer and challenge her. After a boy named Fay Theo Philus comes to the city of Ruin they ask him to challenge her. In this world Gods challenge humans to games and those who receive ten wins can have any wish granted. However, if you lose three times you are forbidden from playing again. Leoleshea wishes to ask the gods to restore her status as a goddess. After Fay defeats her she teams up with him so they can pursue their goals together.

 Gods' Games We Play was an interesting anime. It kind of reminded me of No Game No Life and Liar Liar. It is an ecchi anime, so it does have a bath scene, a swimsuit episode, as well as a scene where Fay and Leoleshea walk in on Pearl while she is in her underwear. Overall if you like the type of anime's where the characters become part of the game rather than just playing it, you will probably enjoy this one.

Mr. Villain's Day Off

The main character is known as The General by his subordinates in admiration of his power. The General is a high ranking member of The Evil League, an organization from another planet that seeks to wipe out humanity and take Earth for themselves. What The General values most of all is his days off from work. While studying various animals on Earth, The General learns about a creature called a panda which he finds curious. So he goes to the zoo to learn more. After being satisfied by his work visit he decides to go there on his day off where he runs into Red. Red is one of the Rangers that protects humanity and fights against The Evil League, though their meeting was a coincidence. After seeing a ticket to the aquarium in Red's hand, The General learns that Red has a terrible sense of direction and points him to the aquarium. He then runs into two little kids who are also lost and buys them ice cream while walking them to the lost children's center. 

I really liked Mr. Villains Day Off. It has a really relaxing feeling to it. I especially like how The General doesn't hate all of humanity. His interactions with the desk clerk at the convenience store are especially heartwarming. I also like how despite having a goal to take over the Earth he still encourages kids who talk to him to follow their dreams. This show is completely clean. While there is a shower scene it only shows The Generals feet. I would suggest this one for anyone trying to get into anime, or if they just want something relaxing to watch. 

WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?

This world is full of islands that float in the air. One day in one of the islands cities a girl tries to hide herself but loses her disguise. With the help of a young man she is able to escape the crowds and avoid being pursued. After awhile she is picked up by her escorts and asks that the young man forget he ever met her. Later, the young man Willem is approached by one of his friends, who says that he has a job for him. The job is to take care of weapons at a warehouse. As it sounded simple enough, Willem decides to take it. It is there he meets an old friend who happens to be a man eating troll. She tells him that she is there for the same job he is. Not long after that, Willem runs into the girl he had shown around the city along with a group of small children called Leprechauns. What are they doing at a weapons warehouse? Why do they use technology that no one else uses? It is after questions like these that Willem learns of the Leprechauns history as well as their purpose. Will he be able to save them?

WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us? was a pretty interesting anime. It wasn't so interesting that I watched it without stopping, but it felt different than other romance anime. My favorite part of it was the music. Music doesn't always stand out in anime to me, but like Komi Can't Communicate, I thought every song was great. There is a shower scene and a bath scene. There is also quite a bit of swearing throughout it. It was a fun watch. If you like fantasy romance anime's I would suggest giving it a try.

Alice or Alice

Rise and Airi live with their big brother. With his help they are able to get a job at a maid cafe called Kisa Kissa. In order to help them with their customer service skills the manager Kisaki has them practice making foods and serving it to their brother. Slowly more and more people join the cafe. To help the employees bond more Kisaki has them go on outings to places like a Hot Spring Resort, a festival, as well as the beach. However, a new maid cafe soon pops up to rival them. Will they be able to handle it?

Alice or Alice was actually a lot better than I was expecting it to be. It was a fun slice of life. The message and feeling of the show is wholesome. However, there are a lot of scenes where the girls wear clothes with cleavage, bathing suits, or just a towel in the hot springs episode. If you dislike fan service be aware that there is a fair amount in this. However, if you don't mind it I would suggest giving this one a try since it takes less than an hour to watch.

Anime de Training! XX Specials

The Girls are back with all new exercises to walk you through. Asami does weightlifting, Eri does the wall sit, Shizuna does jump rope, Shion does sit ups, Yuu does back extensions, and Sakura ends with wide squats. Just like the previous videos they go at a pace that is easy to follow along to. 

Anime de Training! XX Specials were interesting. If you don't do the exercises, it is also a great way to learn how to count to one hundred in Japanese. Also just a forewarning if you don't like fan service, the longer they exercise the more transparent their clothing becomes. It's weird and unneeded, but for some reason thats how the videos were made. Anyway if you have seen either their main series or the first season specials you know wether or not this is for you.  

How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?

Hibiki Sakura has always loved eating. After her friend Ayaka points out that she has gotten bigger lately Hibiki tries to work out at home but loses motivation after a week. After hearing that a new gym opened close by and that they give out free trials, Hibiki decides to give it a try. It is there that she meets the student council president of her school, Akemi. After meeting a helpful trainer named Naruzou Machio both girls decide to become members. However, while Hibiki originally joined to get a boyfriend The boys that she meets at the gym all seem to be different than she expected after getting to know them. Will Hibiki find happiness?

How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift was a pretty fun anime to watch. It is kind of like Anime de Training in that it informs you on different types of exercise you can do and what muscles each exercise enhances. However, unlike Anime de Training, How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift has a storyline. The characters are likable, and the story is good if you like Slice of Life. There is quite a bit of fan service. The anime has two beach episodes, a shower scene, as well as guys ripping off their clothes whenever they flex, which happens in basically every episode. Some of it is censored but a lot of it isn't. If it sounds like something you would be interested in feel free to give it a try.

Anime de Training! EX Specials

Shion, Eri, Asami, Yuu, and Shizuno are back for more exercises. Each girl helps you through a 100 reps of a different exercise. Asami demonstrates how to do sit ups, Eri helps with pushups, Shizuno demonstrates how to do back extensions, Shion helps count squats, and Yuu demonstrates how to do back kicks. Each girl counts at a slow and steady pace making it easy to follow.

Anime de Training! EX Specials were pretty similar to the main series. The animation stays clean for the most part but you do see Eri's panties in the second episode as well as Shizuno's cleavage in the third. Besides that it is pretty much the same as any workout video.

Suicide Squad ISEKAI

After completeing a heist with Joker, Harley Quinn is captured and imprisoned. It is there that she is recruited by Amanda Waller to help gather the resources of another world and bring them back to theirs. Without much of an explanation Harley Quinn, Peace Maker, Deadshot, Clayface, and King Shark are all put into a helicopter and transferred to the other world. However, the people from A.R.G.U.S. are all killed by the citizens of this new world. The Suicide Squad helps to defeat the enemies the kingdom is currently fighting, but rather than being rewarded, they are instead imprisoned. Will they be able to change the minds of this new worlds people, and become accepted?

Suicide Squad Isekai was alright. The World definitely looked and felt different from your average Isekai. However, I think the story wasn't really captivating. There are only two times when you see Harley undressed and thats in episode 1 and episode 10. There is a lot of swearing in each episode as well. This is one I probably won't be watching again. But, if it sounds interesting to you go ahead and give it a try.

Piacevole

Morina Nanase is walking home from school one day with her friend Rii Kagetsu. While talking about whats going on in their lives Morina mentions that she wants to get a part time job. It is then that she comes across a help wanted sign for an Italian restaurant called Festa Trattoria. Despite knowing nothing about Italy or Italian foods Morina is given the job. It is there that she grows a love or Italian foods and makes it her goal to become a chef.

Piacevole is a nice relaxing anime. The story is simple and the episodes are short. All the characters are likable as well. It isn't the type of anime that I would say is one you have to see, but it is good if you want to watch something short while considering what you should watch next. Both the language and visuals are clean, which is a plus. If you like food or restaurant related anime this one might be good for you.
