Dead Mount Death Play Part 2

While The Corpse God thought that nobody was watching the fight between Xiaoyu, Lemmings, and Phantom Solitaire, it turns out that a streamer caught his invisible hands on video. Thanks to that Occult sites went crazy over it. Though the general public still couldn't tell if it was one of Solitaire's tricks or an actual supernatural phenomena. While Takumi and Polka try to hide their involvement, Misaki brings in a reporter who claims she wants to do an article about their fortune telling business. This puts Polka on edge causing him to act suspicious. Will they be exposed, or will the group manage to continue the way they have? Only time will tell.

Dead Mount Death Play was good but the 2nd cour is even better. My favorite character continues to be Misaki. Dead Mount Death Play Part 2 was completely clean. However, there is swearing here and there. The story is super good because it answers almost all the questions that were brought about in the first cour. The only thing that I can think of that remains unanswered is who is after Polka's life and why. If you liked the first cour I would definitely watching part 2 as well.

My Little Sister is an "Osaka Momma" Special

Namika talks about when she first started living with Kyousuke. They visit the train station and kyousuke tells her about the different trains that come through Tokyo. Later Namika asks if her friend can sleep over, which Kyousuke agrees to. He then tells Namika that he will make dinner for them, but Namika's ignorance and carefree nature causes her to buy the wrong thing.

My Little Sister is an "Osaka Momma" Special is cool because the story is shown from Namika's point of view. It is pretty clean except for the bath scene and song at the end of the episode. I thought it was worth watching. If you liked the main series, you should give the special a try.

My Little Sister is an "Osaka Momma"

Kyousuke Ishihara is a normal high school boy who up until recently had lived alone in Tokyo. However, his sister Namika Ishihara who had grown up away from him in Osaka due family circumstances moved in with him. Now as they spend more time together he learns how different the culture is between Osaka and Tokyo. Learn the differences between Osaka and Tokyo as Namika and Kyousuke go around Tokyo and create new memories together.

I thought I wasn't going to like this because the animation seemed similar to the shorts for Kanokon. However, I actually really enjoyed it While the animation is different than most anime's, I don't think it is bad. I absolutely loved the dynamic between Namika and Kyousuke. Learning the fun facts about Osaka was great as well. There is a bath scene at the end of every episode, but it is more like a picture since Namika doesn't move and music plays over it so the image is covered by the lyrics. That is another fun thing is that the song at the end is different each episode. If you like slice of life anime I would give this one a try.

Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld (Season 4)

After defeating Quinella the Administrator Alice and Kirito went back to their childhood home in Rulid Village. However, believing that Alice is still a criminal the village elder refuses to let them live there. They are permitted to live just outside the village though. One day Alice's apprentice Eldrie arrives in Rulid and tells them that war is coming. While Kirito desires to fight as well, he unfortunately lost his ability to speak, move, and convey emotions. Nevertheless, Alice is determined to keep him safe before anyone else. Will he be able to recover and save the people of the underworld?

Sword Art Online Season 4 was completely different from all the previous seasons. Previously each season had many battles that would all last less than an episode. However, War of the Underworld is one continuous battle, which I think is cool. The characters all dress modestly. There is a lot of swearing though.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! Season 2 Part 2

MgRonalds has finally finished with their renovations and they now have a 2nd floor called MgCafe. Maou and Chiho both want to improve so they can learn the secret of how their manager impresses everyone with her coffee making skills. Kisaki pulls Maou aside and introduces him to the concept of a barista and tells him she thinks he has what it takes. Meanwhile Suzuno, Emi, and Chiho have been disappearing for "girls talk". After getting suspicious Ashiya follows them and learns that Chiho has been practicing ways to channel Celestial Force so she can help her friends when they run into trouble. While she was able to become a vessel for Lailah, is it actually possible for humans from earth to gain the powers of Ente Isla?

The Devil is a Part-Timer! Season 2 Part 2 was way better than I was expecting it to be. it stays clean for the most part, however, there is a scene where the girls go to a bathhouse. Besides that everybody dresses modestly throughout it. I didn't think it was going to be that good, but Season 2 Part 2 not only introduces new characters, but also answers questions regarding Ente Isla that were left unanswered at the end of the first cour of the second season. If you liked the first and Second season, I think the second cour of the second season is worth the watch.

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 4

After the chaos that happened with the Xenos, Bell has now reached level 4. With how quickly he has leveled up the guild sends the Hestia Familia a letter assigning them a mission. They will now have to go farther than they ever have before in the dungeon and retrieve items for the guild. With such a big task at hand Bell and his party decide to ask Miach, Hephaestus, and Takemikazuchi for assistance. While they are getting prepared Aisha hears about it and volunteers to join them as well. But before they can even leave Cassandra has a vision and urges everyone to postpone the mission. However, nobody believes her and they decide to go anyway. Will everybody be able to make it back safely?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 4 was pretty intense compared to previous seasons. Unlike other seasons the majority of season 4 takes place within the dungeon. I think that was a cool change to make. The season is mostly clean except for the outfit that Aisha wears and you meet a mermaid named Marie who isn't wearing anything at first but covers herself after she meets Bell. Overall if you liked the previous seasons, I would definitely give this one a try as well.

Akikan! OVA

Najimi, Yurika, Melon, Yell, Misaki, and Budoku all go on a Hot springs trip. However, due to the Akikan's inability to touch hot water, a cold bath is prepared for them. So when Yurika grabs Misaki and and Najimi their Akikan's are unable to help them. Meanwhile Kakeru talks to a melon soda in the cold bath thinking that it is melon, so when she walks up behind him, he is shocked both mentally and physically by Melon's powers. After Kakeru gets out he is found and trapped by Hidehiko Otoya. Will he be able to escape?

The Akikan! OVA was alright. The characters were pretty annoying. I think that Akikan could have been a decent romance anime, but it is ruined by kochikaze and Otoya. Since the Akikan! OVA is a Hot Spring episode, the characters only wear a towel for the majority of the episode. If you aren't a fan of ecchi anime you can skip over this one. 

Interviews with Monster Girls: The Demi-chans' Summer Break

Hikari, Kyouko, and Yuki are going to the festival to celebrate summer. Satou sensei and Takahashi Sensei have been asked to patrol while it goes on. Satou sensei is worried about patrolling until she sees someone wearing a bear costume. With this she doesn't have to worry about people being affected by her succubus powers. She also figures it may be a chance to grow closer to Takahashi Sensei. She manages to hold his hand, but realizes that it doesn't seem romantic, it just looks like Takahashi sensei is goofing off with a mascot. Meanwhile Hikari, Kyouko, and Yuki go into a forest where ghosts are said to appear. At the same time Hikari's sister Himari does a test of courage in the same forest with her friends. Even though Himari has a vampire for a sister she refuses to believe that ghosts exist. Will she be proven wrong?

Interviews with Monster Girls: The Demi-chans' Summer Break was really fun to watch. It was completely clean both with the language and the visuals. If you liked the main series, This OVA is definitely worth the watch.

Danchigai Special

The Nakano siblings all go to a bathhouse together. Satsuki, Uzuki, Yayoi, and Mutsuki go to the girls side, while Haruki heads to the boys side. Everything goes off without a hitch that is until they ask for bottled coffee milk. Rather than getting it in the usual bottle form, the bathhouse they visited only had it in juice box form. This was disappointing to the twins, so they all promised to go to another one sometime where the coffee milk comes in bottles.

Despite this being a bath episode, it remained clean. Just like the main series the special episode was only about three minutes long, so there isn't that much time for things to happen. If you enjoyed the main series I would give the special episode a try.

SPY x FAMILY CODE: White

After completing a mission to steal secret files from a cruise ship, Loid comes back home to hear that Anya has a chance to get another Stella. The School is holding a cooking competition and the person who does the best will get a Stella from the principal of the school who will be the one judging the competition. Loid has doubts that Anya will be able to win by making whatever she wants. So he tells her that the principals favorite dessert is called meremere, and he believes that she can win if they make it. So in order to try it the Forgers take a family trip to a town where a restaurant serves it. They order the last slice, but before they can eat it, it is stolen by a military officer. After talking with the chef, they learn that the ingredients wont be imported until after they leave. So to make sure the trip isn't wasted Anya, Loid, and Yor make a plan to find all of the ingredients so they can make it themselves. However, before they finish Anya is kidnapped by the same military men who took her meremere at the restaurant. Will Loid and Yor be able to resolve this peacefully?

Spy Family Code: White was really fun to watch. I really liked it a lot better than the second season. It had a good mix of slice of life scenes and action scenes. The setting was really fun to see as well. It had kind of a Christmas feel to it. The visuals were clean, but there were a few swear words said throughout it.  Overall if you have the chance to see it, and you like the series, I think it is definitely worth the watch.

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 3

As Bell is running through floor nineteen of the Orario Dungeon he sees a girl being chased by adventurers. When he approaches her she is quivering with fear. After learning she is a Vouiver monster He quickly puts his coat on her to hide her. After the adventurers chasing her pass he takes her to the Hestia Familia's Home. It is there that he introduces her to Welf, Mikoto, Lily, Haruhime, and Hestia. After learning she doesn't have a name, They decide to name her Wiene which she immediately takes a liking to. While everyone is happy to have Wiene around, there are bigger things on their minds. The thought that monsters can act in a way that makes them similar to humans is mind boggling. All the citizens in Orario see monsters as a source of fear. How will having this new addition to their familia affect their lives?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 3 was really good. Wiene is just the greatest character. I would also like to say that this is the only season where Bell has managed to pick up a girl in a dungeon and bring her home. This season surprised me by having no bath scenes or hot spring scenes. Both the language an the visuals remained clean this season. If you liked the previous two seasons Season three is definitely worth watching as well.

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 2

After a day in the dungeon Lily, Welf, and Bell are at a bar where an adventurer starts to insult Hestia as well as Bell's party. Not willing to just ignore it a brawl breaks out between them. The group learns that the adventurers were from the Apollo Familia. It isn't much later when Apollo invites all the gods and one of their children to come to a banquet. There he declares war on the Hestia Familia. At first they reject the idea, but after being attacked in the streets an having their home destroyed, Bell and Hestia agree to fight. Because nobody could agree on what the war game should be Hermes draws a paper from a box that says castle siege. Apollo offers to be the one defending the castle since Bell is the only member of Hestia's Familia. Once the announcement is made to the other Familia's, the allies Bell has made do whatever they can to help support him. Will he be able to defeat one of the biggest Familia's in Orario?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 2 was really good. It didn't focus all that much on the dungeon this season, and did more world building about what goes on in the city of Orario. There is a bath scene, the amazonian's from the Ishtar Familia all wear revealing outfits as well. The language stayed pretty clean in this season as well. If you watched the first season and enjoyed it I would definitely suggest watching this.

Tawawa on Monday Season 2 Special

Ai and her family go to the beach. While they are there her boyfriend is stuck at work. While he wishes he could go things actually start to go wrong when a newswoman approaches Ai and her little sister saying she is looking for the goddesses of the beach.

The Season 2 Special of Tawawa on Monday was pretty good. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. The episode is pretty clean, but because its a beach episode everyone is dressed in their swimsuits. If that is too much for you, you can skip this one. However, if you liked the main series, I would definitely give this a watch.

Aria the Scarlet Ammo

Kinji Tohyama wants nothing to do with Butei high school, which he currently attends. However, while he is riding a bike to school he learns that there is a bomb attached to it and it will blow up if he stops or slows down. As he's trying to find a solution, a girl drops from the sky and using a parachute lifts him off the bike which then explodes, causing the both of them to pass out. When they wake up  they are stuffed inside a box surrounded by guns shooting at them. While Kinji might not seem like much at first glance, he has a secret condition. One that allows him to become highly skilled, so long as he is turned on. After seeing his skills Aria wants him to be her partner, but will he actually be able to meet her expectations?

Aria the Scarlet Ammo was interesting. Going to a school where students become mercenaries is a cool idea. However, the characters can be kind of annoying at times. Aria is especially annoying at the beginning and for some reason Kinji lacks the spine to do what he wants. There is a bath scene, as well as multiple scenes with girls in their underwear. There is a lot of swearing as well. This is something you can watch if you have nothing else to watch. If the summary above sounds interesting to you and you can handle some light fan service, you can give it a try.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! Season 2

The Demon Lord Maou and his partners Ashiya and Urushihara are back and worried about the Demon King's Castle budget. Right before Maou leaves for work at MgRonalds He senses a strange presence. Meanwhile Ashiya has decided to train Urushihara on how to do housework so he can get a job and help contribute to the demons finances. While he is lecturing Urushihara they notice a cockroach has been hiding in the closet. Rather than try and kill it themselves, they run away where they meet Emilia, Suzuno, Chiho, and Maou who had just arrived home. Thanks to their help it is quickly killed. Shortly after a gate opens and out of it falls a huge apple. It then turns into a little girl named Alas Ramus. While the group tries to learn where Alas Ramus came from, they learn that her existence is much more important than anyone could have guessed.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! Season 2 was really good in my opinion. Some people say that it wasn't as good as the first season, but I think Alas Ramus made it absolutely amazing. It had a similar feel to The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting and Buddy Daddies. The season was mostly clean except for a few beach episodes where you see the characters in their swimsuits. It only swears once or twice throughout the season, so language is clean as well. If you liked the first season, you should definitely give this one a try as well.

Outbreak Company

After filling out a questionnaire on otaku culture to see if he is eligible for a job, Shinichi Kanou answers every single question correctly and is called in to meet a man named Jinzaburou Matoba. Matoba tells Shinichi that they have found a portal to a parallel world. In order to begin friendly relations with them, they want to introduce anime, manga, and games to them. However, nobody in the government really knows anything about it. Shinichi agrees to help and is taken to the other world. He meets with the queen who agrees to let him share his interests. After teaching his maid basic Japanese he builds a school for the youth of the kingdom of Erdant, where they can learn both Japanese and Japanese culture. While Shinichi seems to be doing his job perfectly, not everyone is satisfied with the results. It is up to Shinichi to find a solution that can satisfy everyone. Will he be able to pull it off?

Outbreak Company was better than expected. It is pretty relatable, in the same way that Anime-Gataris is. There are multiple bath scenes, as well as a swimsuit episode with a lake. Besides that the characters dress modestly, and the humor and language are both clean. If the summary above sounds interesting to you, I would give it a try,

Sword Art Online: Alicization (Season 3)

After getting injected with the poison that Death Gun used by Johnny Black, Kirito wakes up in a world that he had been before, but completely forgotten. There he meets a boy named Eugeo who for the past seven years has been chopping away at a tree called the Gigas Ceder also known as The Demon Tree. This tree is as hard as steel and generations of people have cut at it everyday for the last three hundred years. Because Kirito doesn't know anything about this new world Eugeo believes that his memory was erased by the god Vecta. Knowing that his story won't be believed if Kirito goes to the nearest village alone, Eugeo offers to go with him. But it isn't just Kirito who has lost his memory. Will the Eugeo and Kirito be able to find out whats causing people to lose their memories and put a stop to it?

Sword Art Online: Alicization was pretty interesting. It starts out with him in the new world so I was confused at first, but they do a good job of explaining what's going on. There are a few parts that are immodest. In episode ten two girls are attacked and have part of their clothes ripped exposing their skin, in episodes twenty through twenty four Eugeo and Kirito fight a woman who is completely naked. There is also a scene where the male knight commander is taking a bath right before he fights Eugeo, but you only see his back exposed. All in all it was a cool experience to see kirito live and grow in a place that seems more real than the previous games he has played. In this world the characters aren't simple NPC's. Each character has goals and a history. If you liked the first two seasons I would highly suggest this.

Kanokon: The Great Midsummer Carnival

Summer vacation starts and Chizuru wants to spend every minute of it with Kota. She even goes so far as to make sure that he doesn't sleep in. However, while Chizuru is thinking of things to do with Kota, her mom shows up in Kota's home claiming that Kota promised to go on a date with her long ago. She brings two Yukata's for both Kota and Chizuru to wear to watch fireworks. Meanwhile Tayura is trying his hardest to ask Akane to watch the fireworks with him but can't quite seem to find the words. Will everything work out in a way where everyone can be satisfied?

Kanokon: The Great Midsummer Carnival was definitely unique. Tayura trying to ask out Akane was super cringey to watch, but I think thats because It isn't that different from real life. there is a ton of fan service like a scene where Chizura undresses and tries to get Kota to eat noodles off of her body, a bath scene with Nozomu, as well as Nozomu being completely naked while she is lounging around her house. There is also a scene where Chizuru and Kota get soaked from the rain and have to undress so they don't catch a cold. While I think this is something that should be avoided, I have to give the anime points for originality. Overall, I wouldn't watch this unless you have watched the main Kanokon series and enjoyed it.

Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

Virtual Reality Players have stopped playing full dive games ever since the Augma came out. The Augma is an Augmented Reality machine which people find safer since you are completely awake and in control of your body when you use it. The company who created it also made a game called Ordinal Scale. Ordinal Scale gives everyone a rank. If you raise your rank enough you can get prizes from different companies. You raise your rank by defeating monsters that appear throughout the city. While it seems like a game at first, Kirito learns that there is something much more sinister going on. Players start losing their memories and end up hospitalized. Will he be able to figure out how to help those being affected before something much worse happens?

Ordinal Scale was a pretty cool movie. While watching a Full Dive VRMMORPG anime is cool, seeing it change to Augmented Reality gave the movie a totally different feel. However, it retained the charm that Sword Art Online has. This movie takes place in between the second and third season in case you want to watch all of Sword Art Online in order. It was surprisingly really clean compared to Season 1 and Season 2. There is a bath scene but you don't even see Asuna's body, just her face. That is if you watch it on crunchyroll, if you watch it on a different site there is a chance that it will be uncensored. Overall I would highly recommend this if you liked the first and second seasons of Sword Art Online. 

Sword Art Online Season 2

Gun Gale Online is a new world created from the seed that was given to Kirito from Kayaba Akihito. It is also the only game that allows you to exchange the in game currency for real money. After some people got cocky a player known as Death Gun appears in a room where a screen is showing two of Gun Gale's professional players being interviewed. After a comment about how players who followed advice he gave previously are inferior, Death Gun shoots the screen and the man being interviewed dies in real life. This got the attention of the government. The man who Kirito approached from internal affairs to learn Asuna's Location after they all woke up comes to him asking if people could really be killed by shooting a gun shot in a game. Kirito doesn't want to believe it, but agrees to check it out after he's told the government will pay him to go inside Gun Gale Online and find out more about Death Gun. After converting his character, Kirito meets a girl named Sinon who helps show him around, pick his weapons and armor, as well as helps him to sign up for a Battle Royale called Bullet of Bullets. But will this be enough to draw Death Gun out into the open?

The first three fourths of this season is super super good. However, it became harder to watch around episode nineteen for me. Asuna's mom was super annoying. We already had a fiasco when Asuna's Dad tried to set her up with a guy, now her mom is trying to do the same thing. Not only that, but she tries to separate Asuna from her friends without listening to how Asuna feels about it. I do believe that it is absolutely worth watching though. There are only a few inappropriate parts throughout the season. there is a scene where you see Sinon in her bra as she changes into her battle armor, and there is a short bath scene with Asuna in it. Besides that the season is clean. If you liked the first season I would give this one a shot as well.

WcDonald's

WcDonald's has come out with a new sauce and customers are racing to try it. It has the power to make everyone feel like they've won, and even gives you the courage to confess to the one you love. The sauce is so amazing it will even transport you to another world. How will it affect your life when you try it?

WcDonald's is the kind of anime where you watch and wonder to yourself what you just watched. But because it went so fast it didn't feel like I wasted my time. It felt more like I was watching a series of commercials for McDonalds in anime form. Both the language and the way people dress is clean. If you are curious, give it a try.

Akikan!

Kakeru Daichi has always found it fun to collect the different types of soda cans that he drinks. One day when he tries a melon flavored juice it turns into a cute girl. He names her Melon and has her become a student at the school he attends with the help of his childhood friend Najimi Tenkuji. Kakeru is soon approached by a government official who tells him that this phenomenon happens with every type of drink there is. They have labeled the cans who transform as Akikans. Since cans are made from either steel or aluminum the government wants to get rid of one and make all cans from the same material. So they have the Akikan's fight each other in what is known as the Akikan Elect. Though Kakeru strongly advises Melon not to participate all Akikan's seem to be born with an aversion to the material opposite of them. Is it possible for everyone to get along despite their differences?

Akikan sounds like a weird anime, and it is. Despite them being completely different, it gave me the same feeling I had when I was watching Tayutama. It may be weird and hard to binge, but it is probably the most quotable anime I have seen so far. There is some fan service in it, but less than I thought there would be. There is a bath scene, and an episode where they go to a water park. The water park episode kind of reminded me of Eiken. The language isn't too bad throughout it either. However, this is an episode where the guy gets punched a lot, which is something that bothered me in the past, but I didn't really mind it as much when I watched this. If you don't mind some minor fan service, I would give it a try.

Sword Art Online

During the year of 2022 the company Argus released a full dive VRMMORPG called Sword Art Online. Only 10,000 copies were sold. Everyone was super excited to experience this new world that was given to them. That is until they learned that nobody could log out. The creator of the Game Kayaba Akihiko let the world know that this was not a mistake and that if the nervegear used to play the game is taken off the player, or the player dies in the game, they will also die in real life. The only way out is to beat all 100 floors of the floating castle Aincrad. Until then they must do whatever they can to survive. Will everybody be able to make it back home safe?

Sword art online was pretty good. A lot of people don't know this but Sword Art Online Season 1 includes both the Aincrad Arc and the Alfheim Arc. There are a few scenes where you see girls in their underwear, a bath scene around episode eighteen, then in episode twenty four you see the villain Sugou rip Asuna's clothes, thou you only get a glimpse of her body. The language stays pretty clean throughout the season. If you don't like fan service you can skip this, but if you like Isekai and VRMMO anime's I would give it a try.

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online

Karen Kohiruimaki has always been self conscious about how tall she is. So in order to get away from it she decides to buy an amusphere and find a game where she can get a cute character. After going through many different games she finally finds a character that she loves and names her Llenn. The game that she ended up in was Gun Gale Online. Not long after she finishes the tutorial and gets some shooting practice in the desert, she meets another female player named Pitohui. After spending time with Pito, news about a new competition called Squad Jam comes up. While Pito can't compete on the day of the competition, she has her friend M fill in for her and team up with Llenn. While Pito hopes they will win, do they actually have what it takes to be the best?

I really liked this series. Fuka kind of reminds me of Sally from Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense. While it was different from Sword Art Online Season 2. it still was pretty intense. The anime stays pretty clean except for a short clip where Karen is talking to her friend Miyu while she is in the bath. There is some swearing, but the language stays clean for the majority of it. Overall, I believe it was worth watching. If you liked Sword Art Online I would give it a try.

SPY x FAMILY Season 2

After Yor comes home from another job she has an angry look on her face. Assuming that it's somehow his fault Loid makes nearly nine hundred different date plans to make her happy, unaware that its actually pain from being shot by an enemy right before he died that is causing her to act like this. After a car has arrived to pick them up she claims she would rather walk, making over seven hundred of Loid's plans fall through. Meanwhile Franky is left to watch over Anya. Refusing to stay home she suggests that they tail them to see what they do on their date. After multiple failed attempts to make Yor happy, Loid finally takes her out to dinner, where a remaining member of the gang she took down is working. To get revenge for his fallen comrades he fills a cup full of poison and has a waiter bring it to Yor. Thanks to her work as an assassin Yor had built up an immunity to poison so all it did was make her numb. Thanks to this her pain was able to go away and she was able to enjoy her date with Loid. Thanks to her telepathy and Franky's Infiltration skills, Anya is able to sneak in and give the gang member a warning to stop going after Yor and value the people he still has with him.

The first few episodes were kind of slow for me. However, once it got to the arc where the Forgers all go on a cruise it gets super interesting. The season stays clean both visually and with the humor they use. There is some swearing here and there though. Overall I would say it was super awesome. If you liked the first season I would give this a try as well. 

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Something

Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, Lucoa, Fafnir, Elma and Takiya all get together to act out different situations seen in different genre's of anime. It all starts when Kobayashi asks why marumaru is added to the title of the anime. Kanna and Tohru explain that it can be replaced with anything you want they then add words like police and cat to the title while they dress up like the word that has replaced marumaru in the title.

This was pretty interesting if you are into watching chibi shorts. However, there is no real story. It is just a series of skits. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special like the In/spectre or Tayutayu: pure my heart shorts. It was clean though. The language remained clean as well, which was good. If you like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid I would suggest giving it a try.

Shangri-La Frontier

The world is full of games the most popular of which is the Full Dive MMORPG Shangri-La Frontier. The ones that tend to get overlooked are known as trash games. Rakurou Hizutome is known as the trash game hunter because he spends his time trying to defeat the games most people would rather ignore. After defeating a difficult trash game called Faeria Chronicle Online a store owner suggest he try playing Shangri-La Frontier which already has thirty million players around the world after only being out for a year. Despite it not being a trash game Rakurou decides to give it a try. He creates a character named Sunraku, that goes around wearing a bird mask. However, rather than going to the beginning town like everyone else, Sunraku starts out in the forest and skips it entirely, heading straight for the second town which is guarded by a poisonous snake. While Sunraku is able to beat it he gets covered in poison before the monster vanishes. Will he have the HP to get to the second town before he dies?

Shangri-La Frontier was way better than I was expecting. Some people say the MMORPG anime genre is overdone. However, this one was pretty well received from what I could tell. I really liked it because it felt completely different from other MMORPG anime like Sword Art Online and Full Dive. While some might take issue of the main character walking around shirtless the entire anime, I felt it was a lot cleaner than most anime out there. It does swear pretty often though. So if you aren't a fan of language that is something to be aware of. Overall, I would highly suggest it. It's pretty funny as well as entertaining. The world building is incredible as well.

Bagel Girl

After a bad day at work, Bong Gi goes home, and wakes up the next morning as a beautiful girl. Confused as to why it happened he goes online for advice, but unfortunately nobody believes him. It isn't until he visits a clothing store that he meets one of the people he had talked to online and after seeing him in person decides to help Bong Gi. Lacking in both common sense and social skills, Bong Gi turns to Se Mi who he met at the clothing store for help. Now she makes it her job to help Bong Gi start a new life as Ah Reum.

To be honest this started out as a bad version of Onimai: I'm now your sister, but as the story progressed it turned into a murder mystery. While online sites may label this as an Ecchi all you really see is cleavage with the different outfits Ah Reum wears throughout the series. However, that may be a turn off for some. There isn't any swearing throughout the anime though. Overall, this is good if you have nothing else to watch, however some better alternatives would be Onimai if you are looking for a good slice of life gender bender, or Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden deductions if you are looking for a good mystery anime.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts

For a long time the world has been separated into a land of humans and a land of beasts. In order to stop the wars between the two a deal was made where the humans would offer up sacrifices in order to keep the beasts away. Sariphi was supposed to be the 99th sacrifice, but instead of being killed the beast king decided to make Sari his wife. Unfortunately this caused backlash from many of the beasts who still feared the humans. So in order to make the citizens of the beast kingdom slowly accept her, Sariphi agrees to complete tasks that would show her ability as queen, like taming a holy beast and hosting a ball for nobility. Watch as Sariphi gains trust as does what she believes to be right.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts starts out a lot like beauty and the beast. However, after the first episode it becomes less of a romance between the two and gains a strong message of self acceptance as well as acceptance of others despite appearances or history. It only swears about three times. The anime remained completely clean visually which gives it a thumbs up in my book. If you like fantasy anime that has more of a focus on world building I would suggest giving this one a try. It kind of reminded me of How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom.

Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside Season 2

On a sunny day Rit, Ruti, and Red go up a mountain to see if they can find a blue sapphire to be made into an engagement ring for Rit. Meanwhile Godwin takes Yarandrala into Zoltan where she believes red and Rit are. However, after a guard informs her that Godwin once tried to attack them she turns on him and is prepared to kill him until she is stopped by Tisse. Tisse informs her that they have traveled to the Wall at The World's End. After Yarandrala calms down, her and Tisse set off for The Wall at the World's End where they meet up with Ruti, Rit, and Red. It is there they learn that the blue sapphire can't be acquired due to a gem beast that has been turning all the gemstones to lead. This has caused problems for the Gem Giants who protect the mountain. Will the group find a way to beat the beast and save the gem giants from extinction?

Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside Season 2 was better than I was expecting. The whole season remains pretty clean except for a few parts. There is a hot springs scene, a bath scene, as well as clothes worn that reveal cleavage. Besides that it was really good. The language is also kept clean. Tisse remains the best character in my opinion, but the change you get to see in Ruti is also amazing. If you liked the first season I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Kiss x Sis

Keita Suminoe has two sisters named Ako and Riko. While they grew up together all three are from prior marriages so there is no blood relationship between them. While Keita just wants to study so he can get into high school, Riko and Ako do everything in their power to show how much they adore him. Ako and Riko do things like make his meals, take him out to karaoke, as well as try to protect him from girls who want to get close to him. Will Keita be able to achieve his goals, or will his sisters attempts to show him they love him become distractions? 

Now I just want to say that this one you probably want to avoid. I looked at this because the name made me think it was a yuri anime. However, this was not a yuri anime and is so bad I would put it among the ranks of anime like Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia, World's End Harem, and Peter Grill and the Philosophers Time. It's not as bad as Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World though. There is a lot of french kissing throughout the anime. It also includes a beach scene, a hot springs episode, a bathhouse episode, and much more. Some people complained about The World's Strongest Tank having weird vibes due to how much Rud loves his little sister, but that is nothing compared to this. Even the flirting between Miyuki and Tatsuya in The Irregular at Magic High School looks like tame compared to this. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone. By the way this is about the OVA series not the TV series of Kiss x Sis.

Can I Make Your Ears Happy in 180 Seconds?

Multiple girls try their own take on ASMR. Whether it be for fun or a way to make friends, each person has a reason for doing it. Watch and listen as the characters experiment with different sounds and words to help you relax.

I originally watched this because I thought it would be similar to My Life After Waking Up as a Dummy Head Mic One Morning. However, this wasn't comedy based, but a way to actually experience ASMR. So I would suggest wearing earphones if you decide to watch this. The characters dress cleanly, and their is no swearing in it. Overall, it was an interesting experience. While this might not be for everyone, I think it is worth giving a try.
