Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Specials

Shia, Kaori, Tia, and Myuu learn more about Yue after stumbling upon her journal while she is away. They read through her private journal to see what her true thoughts and feelings for them were when they first met. While her views on some of the girls have changed overtime some have stayed the same as well. After reading it everyone tells each other how they first met Hajime but not at what point they fell in love. That part is a secret they they will all keep to themselves.

The Arifureta specials was kind of interesting. While you view in the series how each of the girls met him, you never actually learn how Kaori and Hajime met, so it is cool to see that. These two episodes are hot springs episodes, so for the majority of it the girls are either in the water or talking with their towels on. I did think it was cool though. I always enjoy learning about characters backstories so this special was a welcomed one to me.

I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl. Season 2

Summer is approaching fast and Mafuyu wants to find ways to get closer to Chiya and Yuzuka. She invites them over to have a study session, but despite her being older Yuzuka and Chiya appear to be better in school than she is. They are soon joined by Dia who can see not only the magical girls familiars but ghosts and other supernatural creatures as well. Thanks to Dia all four of them are invited to a private beach trip where they are able to strengthen their bonds of friendship.

I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl Season 2 was pretty good. It had the same feel as season one did, which I think is a good thing. I liked this season because it showed a fantasy world where all of Yuzuka's friends became magical girls. So while Chiya and Dia don't actually find familiars in the real world you still get to see what it would be like if they did. This season had a bath scene, multiple beach episodes, as well as Yuzuka transforming into her swimsuit every episode. The language remained clean though. If you liked the first season, I would suggest watching the second season as well.

I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl.

One day while Yuzuka Hanami is walking home from school she sees a strange creature digging through the trash. Once it notices that Yuzuka has noticed it it sets up a barrier stopping time and introduces itself as Miton, and says that regular people can't usually see him only those with the potential to be magical girls can. Miton then proceeds to turn Yuzuka into a Magical girl, but her magical girl outfit ends up being a bikini. While Yuzuka is glad to have acquired magic, she hates being seen in a swimsuit. Luckily all the enemies are gone so there is no need to fight in public. However, having Miton around not only makes Yuzuka anxious, but also draws the attention of those who can see him. Will Yuzuka be able to overcome her insecurities?

I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl is a nice slice of life anime. I was hoping for something similar to Gushing Over Magical Girls when I started this, but the only similarity it has to it is the protagonist transforming into a revealing outfit. While online sites don't mark this as an Ecchi anime I have put the Ecchi tag on it  since Yuzuka transforms into her swimsuit in basically every episode. If you don't mind minor fan service and enjoy the magical girl genre or just want to give it a try I would suggest it. I thought it was a very fun watch.

JUJUTSU KAISEN

Yuji Itadori was just a normal high school student until he runs into Megumi Fushiguro. Megumi approaches Yuji and tells him he is looking for a certain object that is supposed to be at the school he is currently attending. Yuji tells him that he had found it not too long ago and gave it to his friends in the occult club to figure out what it was. Yuji learns that it is a finger from an individual that lived about one thousand years ago that came to be known as the curse king. All of the fingers from Sukuna became cursed objects which draw other curses towards them. Normal people can't see curses, but those with cursed energy can. These people go to Jujutsu High School and are known as Jujutsu Sorcerers. With this knowledge Yuji realizes that his friends could die due to how dangerous Sukuna's fingers are. So Megumi and Yuji rush to save them. They arrive before its too late and are able to save Yuji's friends. However, Megumi and Yuji now find themselves in danger due to the curses which take the form of monsters. While they are backed into a corner Megumi tells Yuji that Sukuna's fingers are sometimes eaten to give whoever eats it cursed energy. Without thinking Yuji eats the finger and not only does he receive cursed energy, but Sukuna awakens within him. Now Yuji is told that the people in charge of the Jujutsu Sorcerers want him dead, because if he dies then Sukuna dies with him. But a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer named Gojo tells him he has two options, to either die now, or find all of Sukuna's fingers, eat them, and then die. Naturally Yuji chooses the latter, and begins his journey as a Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Jujutsu Kaisen has a similar feel to Demon Slayer, like I thought it would. However, it takes place in modern day japan, rather than in the Taisho Period. The demons and curses bear some resemblance, and Sakuna is like the equivalent to Muzan Kibutsuji, but unfortunately doesn't look like Michael Jackson. Not that Muzan did 100% of the time either. I also didn't find myself wishing that Yuji would get stronger in the same way I did for Tanjiro. However, the thing I think is better about Jujutsu Kaisen than Demon Slayer, is that it doesn't feel repetitive like Demon Slayer did after the first season. Each episode makes you curious about what happens next, and the fights aren't super drawn out. It is also gives you an idea about how powerful each curse is without them having to destroy a city to prove it like they did with Demon Slayer. Another pro of Jujutsu Kaisen is that everybody stays completely modest and there is no unnecessary fan service. There is some swearing though. Overall I would definitely suggest watching Jujutsu Kaisen if you haven't given it a try already. 

Cyclops Girl Saipu

Fuuka Saitou made a promise in elementary school that she would marry her brother, and her brother accepted, thinking it was a cute thing that all little kids said. Two years later Fuuka is now five foot nine and has matured in more ways than one. Due to her long hair that always covers half her face everyone calls her Saipu referring to a cyclops. Saipu finally feels like she is old enough to make good on her promise. However, hearing that she wants to marry him now has the opposite effect that it once did. So Saipu attempts to use her womanly charms along with the help of her friends to win her brothers affection back. 

Cyclops Girl Saipu was actually a really fun watch. it is a series of shorts stories, rather than one continuous story. The layout bears a resemblance to Tsuredure Children, Komi Can't Communicate, and Senryu Girl. There is a bath scene, as well as all the cut scenes are images of the characters in skimpy clothing. So if you like to avoid the ecchi genre, this show doesn't take it too far, but it might be uncomfortable for some. However, I thought it was a pleasant slice of life anime, and enjoyed every minute of it. 

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 3

It is nearing the end of the misfit class's first year and they are told that if they do not all reach the rank of Dalet before becoming second years, they will be kicked out of the kings classroom. So in order to help them achieve that goal Kalego finds five famous demons to be their tutors and make them more powerful. After weeks of training they finally have a chance to test their new skills at The Harvest Festival. The Harvest Festival is a survival game where the first year have to find ingredients from plants and monsters and turn them in for points. Whoever wins gets the title of Young King, and it is said that those who win have a higher chance of achieving their dreams. Will The Misfit Class be able to prove themselves and reach the rank of Dalet?

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 3 was super fun to watch. The creativity of the Netherworld and the demons who live there just drew me in. This season was different from the first two because rather than having a lot of slice of life moments, the majority of the season was taken up by the harvest festival. Though that in its own way was captivating. The story stays clean for the most part, however, there is a hot spring scene with Clara, Elizabetta, and Keroli. it does swear once or twice, but the language remains mostly clean. If you enjoyed the first two seasons, I would highly recommend this one as well.

Bear Bear Bear Kuma Punch! (Season 2)

Fina and Yuna try and decide who will get the last pudding. While they are arguing about it Shuri comes in and eats it. While Noa and Misa are over visiting Yuna's house they see how well Fina and Yuna know each other so much so that Misa says that the two are like a couple that has been married for years.Yuna continues to help others using her kuma punch. Whether it be pillows, watermelon or dough to make bread, Yuna is there.

Bear Bear Bear Kuma Punch! is a lot shorter than Bear Bear Bear Kuma! However each episode is absolutely adorable. All the characters from Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear look adorable in the chibi art style. Both the visualss and the language are kept clean. If you liked the main series I would give the shorts a try.

The Dangers in My Heart Special

Kyotorou Ichikawa wants to be more open with Anna Yamada. She seems to be the one who always greets him, so he decides that he is finally going to return her greeting. This makes Anna really happy. Kyo and Anna then go to the library where Anna asks Kyo if he can guess her blood type based on her personality. While Kyo knows what the different personalities of the blood types are, Anna's unpredictability makes it hard for him to come to a clear conclusion. 

The Dangers in My Heart Special was super fun to watch. The part where they try and guess each others blood type reminded me of the scene in Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible where Nagisa and Junta are taking personality tests. It is basically a series of short skits put into an episode, and it is absolutely hilarious. There is a bath scene in it but it is only there for a few seconds, besides that it stays clean. The language is clean as well. I would definitely suggest watching this if you enjoyed the main series.

The Dangers in My Heart Season 2

After the long winter break a new semester is starting. Kyo is having trouble doing all the things he needs to since he broke his arm. In an attempt to help him, Kyo's teacher suggest that Yamada support him since she sits close and they seem to get along. However, Kyo claims that they are not close and that they just talk sometimes. Unfortunately Yamada overhears the conversation which puts her in a bad mood. She eventually lightens up after Kyo asks for her assistance while he recovers from his injury. She then starts helping with things like carrying his backpack and turning the pages of books he's reading for him. This allows them to grow even closer than they were.

The Dangers in My Heart Season 2 was absolutely amazing. It reignited my love for the Romance Anime Genre. I got to experience all the emotions. This season made me smile, laugh, cry, blush, and overall just gave me a warm feeling inside throughout the whole thing. If you are like me and watched the first season awhile ago and since forgotten I would watch it again before season 2 because season 2 refers to things from season 1 that might not have made sense if I hadn't rewatched it. There are three bath scenes throughout the season, but besides that everybody dresses modestly, and the language remains clean as well. I would definitely suggest watching it if you like romance anime. 

MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES Season 2

After defeating Magia Lupus, Mash received all of the coins in the Lang Dorm's possession. He decided to distribute it throughout Adler Dorm, but kept enough so that Dot, Finn, Lance, and himself all had enough coins to qualify for the Divine Visionary Exam. However, word has begun to spread around the school that Mash doesn't actually have any magic. This draws the attention of the Divine Visionaries who decide to bring him to The Bureau of Magic so they can judge him there. With a little convincing from the headmaster it is decided that Mash's fate will be decided based on what happens during the Divine Visionary Exam. Will Mash prove that he can stand side by side with some of the most skilled magic users, even without magic?

So in order to watch this I decided to rewatch the first season, which I am glad I did because I kept getting it mixed up in my head with the Reign of the Seven Spellblades. Also I thought that the gold pieces in this photo were flying pizza slices. Thanks to rewatching season one they explain that you need a certain amount of money in order to become a Divine Visionary, which cleared up my misunderstanding. Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 2 is clean both visually and with the language they use. While there is a beach episode Lemon keeps her clothes on so nothing inappropriate is revealed. If you liked the first season I would definitely suggest giving season 2 a try.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc

After defeating upper six, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Tanjiro are found by a kakashi in a comatose state. Their bodies are taken to The Butterfly Mansion to recover. After waking up Zenitsu and Inosuke are sent on missions while Tanjiro recovers. The staff at The Butterfly Mansion suggest that Tanjiro head to the village where all the swordsmith's are since his sword got chipped and he hasn't heard back from his swordsmith, Hagenezuka. Meanwhile Muzan Kibutsuji gathers all the upper kizuki together for a meeting since one was defeated for the first time in a century. Muzan alerts them of the death and gives each of them a mission to fulfill.

This season was wild. There were a few things that happened that I didn't think I would ever see in demon slayer. The first was an uncensored hot spring scene with Mitsuri Kanroji. I thought that I would get an answer as to why everyone in Swordsmith Village wears a mask, but that wasn't answered. The third thing was that I cried at the last episode of this season, which I never thought that I would cry during Demon Slayer. Overall, I would definitely suggest it. It did start to feel repetitive for me honestly, because each season Tanjiro only fights insanely powerful demons. I think back to season one when there was the mystery of the disappearing girls and the two demons who could control objects to make them move however they wanted. This season seemed to lack that creativity to me. But it was still fun to watch. 

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Cour 2

After leaving the city where Rudeas, Eris, and Ruijerd's scheme had been found out, they decide to try and leave the Demon Continent and head for the Asura Kingdom. However, they learn that in order to leave they will have to pay a fortune due to Ruijerd being a superd. The Man-God then appears in Rudeas's dream and tells him to buy food from a stall and head through a nearby alley. After following the advice he was given he runs into a girl who is broke and starving on the ground. Rudeas gives her the food and in return for his kindness the girl tells him her name is Kishirika Kishirisu the emperor of the demon continent, and she is willing to grant Rudeas a wish. After saying that she can't fulfill his wishes of money, world domination, and her body, she gives him a demon eye which gives him the power of precognition. Rudeas uses this new gift to save a man who turns out to be a smuggler and says that he is willing to smuggle them off the Demon Continent so they won't have to pay the huge fine. But in exchange the man would like Rudeas and his party to save some kids who are being held captive. The mission goes of without a hitch until members of The Doldia Tribe mistake Rudeas as being part of the smuggling ring and put him in prison. 

The second cour of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season One feels unique because it involves a lot of traveling. So I really felt like I got to experience different parts of the world. I feel like usually in an Isekai The Main character doesn't travel all that much and just adventures based out of a single city. The season stays pretty clean however there is a scene where Eris is playing in the water undressed at Doldia village. There is also a scene where it is implied that Rudeas and Eris had sex but rather than showing it it shows flashbacks of different points in time that they spent together throughout season 1. If you watched the first part of season one I think that this is worth watching as well. 

Demon Lord, Petit Retry!

Hakuto Kunai, Aku, Luna, Killer Queen, Angel White, and Yu Kirino all participate in a countdown for the Demon Lord, Retry show to start.  They then perform little shorts which allow you to get to know their personalities and relationships with one another.

Watching these shorts were fun. It made me want to rewatch the show again. I like how the characters talk with one another. There are some things mentioned that you wouldn't get unless you have already watched the series. One example is Killer queen talks about her crush on zero, but zero is never shown in the shorts. It was pretty fun and each short is less than a minute so you can finish all of them really fast. All of the shorts are clean visually, but there is some swearing. I would give them a try if you liked the show or think you might be interested in watching the main series.

I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job. Specials

Ever since the hero program shut down there have been a lot of magical shops. Watch as some of them advertise themselves to draw in more customers.

Honestly I was at a loss as to what to say about these specials. None of them include the main cast. It pretty much is like watch commercials for the magical shops in the show. I think your better off watching something different not because there is anything inappropriate in the specials, but because it doesn't add anything to the story.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc

While recovering from their last battle at the butterfly mansion, Tanjiro hears screams and runs to find two of the employees being carried by the Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui. The manner in which he carries them gives off the impression that they are being kidnapped. After Tengen explains that he needs girls for a mission of his, Tanjiro proclaims that him, Zenitsu, and Inosuke will go instead of the girls. Tengen agrees to this and brings the three to the Entertainment district. The Entertainment District goes completely silent during the day and thrives at night, making it the perfect hiding place for a demon. Once they arrive Tengen dresses up Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke as girls and sells them to different brothels to find his three wives who have been gathering intel for him. However, once the three start their search they learn that Tengen's wives have disappeared along with a multitude of other women. It doesn't take more than a few days for them to sense demons lurking nearby. Will this mission go off without a hitch, or will Tanjiro and his friends have a repeat of The Mugen Train incident?

When I first heard the name of this arc I thought it would be about a place where there was plays and parties. I did not expect it to take place in a red light district. It kind of had a similar vibe to Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon Season 2. Even though it takes place in a red light district it was surprisingly clean. The only inappropriate part is the way the demon dresses after she transforms. She has some major cleavage, but it isn't as shameless as the fight with the administrator at the end of Sword Art Online Season 3. There is some swearing here and there, but the language stays mostly clean. Overall I would suggest it.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc

After finishing their rehabilitation training Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke are to meet up with the Flame Hashira Kyojiro Rengoku at the Mugen Train. The Mugen Train has been given the name the man-eating train since forty people mysteriously disappeared while aboard it. When the four demon slayers meet up they are mysteriously put to sleep despite there being no signs a demon is on board. It isn't until Tanjiro is woken up with the help of Nezuko's blood that he notices the smell of a demon and finds out that it is one of the twelve Kizuki. Will Tanjiro be able to beat it, or will it go awry just like the last twelve Kizuki he fought?

The Mugen Train Arc of Demon Slayer was really good. I liked the characters more this season because it feels like they are more mature than they were in the first season. Zenitsu cries and complains less, Inosuke seems like less of a battle junkie, and the Hashira seem to posses brains and hearts unlike when Tanjiro first met them at the end of season one. Everybody dresses modestly and there is no swearing throughout the season. I would definitely suggest it if you watched season one and enjoyed it. 

Love is Like a Cocktail Episode 14

After a long day at work, Chisato comes home and tells her husband Sora that she is sorry because she believes they can't go to the hot springs this year. To cheer her up, Sora makes Yuzu Sake and gives it to her while she is in the bath to make it feel more like she is at a hot spring.

The OVA of Love is Like a Cocktail was pretty good for being only three minutes long. The majority of the episode takes place inside the bath so its basically a fan service episode. It is nice to watch if you enjoyed the main series. That being said if you haven't seen the main series it wouldn't really matter story wise because each episode is its own story. 

I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job. OVA

Raul's  little sister Myuri has heard rumors that Raul isn't actually a hero but refuses to accept them. So she takes a trip to the capital to see for herself what her big brother has been up to. When she arrives Raul is dressed from head to toe in armor and soon after the demon lord Fino appears saying she has captured princess Seara, and in order to get her Raul will have to go through a series of trials. With each trial one of Rauls Coworkers is either acting as a villain or as a maiden in trouble. Will Raul be able to convince Myuri that he still became a hero despite the rumors?

The OVA was pretty fun to watch. I was hoping that there was going to be a reveal that Fino and Raul were actually dating, but unfortunately both continue to remain clueless when it comes to the love department. Seeing as this episode takes place at a hot spring there is quite a bit of fan service. it start at the beginning when Fino wears a very revealing outfit which she said was what she typically wore when she was living in hell. When Raul fights Airi he slices up her clothes with his sword, Nova pretends to be captured by being buried in the sand, with no swimsuit, then all the female characters get their clothes disintegrated when they are eaten by a man eating plant. Overall while it was fun to watch, people who try to avoid ecchi content should skip it. I would definitely suggest it to people who watched the main series and enjoyed it though.

Dropkick on My Devil!!: Apocalypse Day

One day Jashin-chan gets back to Jinbocho to see that the entire city is on fire. Not only that but Yurine has taken over and made Jinbocho The Yurine Kingdom. To get back the city she loves, Jashin-chan recruits both angels and demons to fight against Yurine. However, Yurine isn't alone either, she has many of Jinbocho's residents under her control along with the vampires and Pino. Will Jashin-chan have what it takes to beat Yurine once and for all?

Apocalypse Day was more entertaining than I thought it would be. I was surprised by Jashin-chan's ability to get both the angels and demons on her side. While it has a completely different feel from the show, it was still worth watching in my opinion. The entire episode remained clean in both visuals and language. If you liked the previous seasons of Dropkick on My Devil, I would definitely give this special a try. 

Kiss × Sis (TV)

Keita is busy studying for exams to get into the same high school as his sisters Riko and Ako. While Keita did make a rule that his sisters shouldn't go into his room while he is studying, he decides to rely on them anyway. Ako and Riko come up with unique ways to help him remember his subjects like English and history. While not wanting him to focus too much on it they also try and find ways to help him relax like going to the summer festival, and making him his favorite foods. The road to success seems long, and at times it seems like Ako and Riko may be doing more harm than good by distracting him. Does Keita have what it takes to persevere through it?

I learned something interesting while watching the TV version of Kiss x Sis. The timeline for the series goes OVA 1, OVA 2, TV 1-9, OVA 3, TV 10-12, OVA 4-12. So while watching the OVA's it seemed like he got used to his sisters advances pretty quick, but there was actually a huge gap of time that was skipped over in the OVA's. While the fan service in this wasn't as crazy as the OVA's there is still a lot of it. There are multiple bath scenes, a shower scene, a pool episode, as well as more panty shots than you can probably count. During the OVA's I was wondering when Mikazuki and Kiryuu senpai started having feelings for Keita and that is answered during the TV version. I like that Mikazuki, Kiryuu senpai, and Miharu Mikuni are a bigger part of the story than they were in the OVA's. I would still suggest avoiding this if you are not a fan of the ecchi genre, but if you watched the OVA's and are still left with questions the TV version helps to fill in the gaps.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 Part 2

After the battle with the Falmuth Empire, Rimuru awakes as a true Demon Lord. While he was able to resurrect his dead friends there are still a number of problems that remain. The Beastketeers tell Rimuru that they have been residing in the capital city Rimuru because their capital was destroyed by Milim who was probably under Clayman's influence. Rimuru decides to hold a meeting to decide what course of action the citizens of Tempest should take for the future. But before they can start Gazel Dwargo arrives with his soldiers, as well as a group of elves that only Dwargo seems to recognize. Both groups insist on joining the meeting. What will become of Tempest's future?

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 Part 2 was pretty interesting. It mainly shows the aftermath of the war with Falmuth as well as gives you a glimpse as to what being a demon lord entails. The ending was particularly fun to watch because you get to see not only Clayman get what he deserves but all of the people under his control as well. There is a short hot spring scene with the Dryads, but besides that the season stays clean. There is some swearing but the language stays clean for the most part as well. I think it is definitely worth watching. 

Dropkick on My Devil!!! X (Season 3)

After failing to kill Yurine once again and getting sliced in half, Jashin-chan decides its time to change her image. She believes it will be better if she acts more serious throughout the new season. This causes Yurine to rethink how she is portrayed as well and decides that she will become someone who values beauty above all else. Pretty soon all of the angels and devils have been drawn in different styles. They all then decide that consistency is better because everyone having such a unique appearance looks more chaotic than they would have expected. After everyone goes back to normal they decide to play a card game together. However, Jashin-chan gets frustrated because she seems to be the only one who can't get cards even when they are right in front of her. 

Dropkick on My Devil!!! X was the most captivating and funny season so far in my opinion. I found myself smiling far more often than I did in the other two seasons. The season remains mostly clean There is a scene where Pino is fully undressed in episode one but her body is censored, as well as a pool episode where everybody is dressed in swimsuits in episode twelve. However, I really liked this season and would definitely suggest it. If you watched the first two seasons I would give this one a try as well.

Dropkick on My Devil!! Dash: Chapter Chitose

Yurine, Jashin-chan, Minos, Persephone 2 and Medusa all get tickets to a hot springs inn in Hokkaido. However, when Yurine gives Jashin-chan the ticket it accidentally gets eaten by a deer which then promptly runs away. To hide this fact Jashin-chan chases after it and she runs into Pino, Poporon, Pekora, along with a new angel named Lierre who are all facing off against a bear they encountered. Jashin-chan learns that the angels have made reservations at the same inn they did. So she asks them if they will hand over their tickets. Pino said that there's no way they would hand them over without a competition. So Jashin-chan uses her suggestion to have a boat race between the devils and the angels. Will Jashin-chan be able to get the tickets without Yurine finding out?

Chapter Chitose was a pretty interesting episode. It introduces Lierre who I found out seems to be the most normal of the angels. While there is a hot springs scene, it didn't feel like there was a focus on the girls bodies. While they weren't the focus of it it was fun to see Yusa and Koji in Hokkaido as well. The language remained clean throughout the episode which was nice. If you liked season two I would definitely give this special a try.

Dropkick on My Devil!! Dash (Season 2)

Multiple Jashin-chan's sit around a table as they try to make a plan. A very important decision lies before them. One that could have a serious effect. The question that lies before them is "Should dinner be curry, hashed beef rice, or beef stew. All Jashin-chan's turned to origin Jashin-chan who then decided that beef stew would be the best choice. Meanwhile Pekora and Poporon meet together and wonder about how long it will be before their halo's regenerate. Just as they are wondering another angel named Pino descends from above with orders to kill the other two who had been seen hanging out with devils. However, Pino's plan fails when Poporon tries to steal her halo but ends up breaking it. To get closer with the demons so she can attack once her halo regenerates, Pino takes a job as a custodian at the apartment complex where Yurine and the other demons live.

Dropkick on My Devil!! Dash was even better than Season 1 was. The jokes are pretty funny and the characters are enjoyable. Some new characters are introduced like Pino and Kyon-Kyon. I started to enjoy their random breaking the fourth wall moments, because it actually gives you some insight into some facts about the series you wouldn't have known otherwise. The series stays pretty clean with the exception of a beach episode and a shower scene with Medusa. If you enjoyed the first season I would give Season 2 a try as well. 

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 4 Part 2

After their fight with the Juggernaut, Bell and Ryu find themselves stuck on the thirty seventh floor of the dungeon. An area not even the Loki Familia goes to. Meanwhile the floor boss of the twenty fifth floor has The Hestia Familia, Aisha, Ouka, Chigusa, as well as Daphne and Cassandra trapped. While it may not be as bloodthirsty and dangerous as the Juggernaut, fighting it will be no easy task. Also Morale has dropped ever since Bell disappeared. Will Bell's friends be able to survive long enough to escape?

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 4 Part 2 was super intense and fast paced which I really liked. There are a few parts that could be considered inappropriate like when Ryu and Bell think they are going to die from the cold, so they do skin on skin contact. There is also a part where Ryu is wearing loose clothes that fall off by themselves. In both instances the anime does a good job of making sure Ryu is covered up. There is a lot of swearing throughout the season if that is something that bothers you. Overall I think that it did a great job of keeping the story moving as well as entertaining. I would definitely suggest it if you have watched the previous seasons.

Dropkick on My Devil! Episode 12

After being launched into space Jashin-chan returns by using one of her dropkicks. While Jashin-chan is regenerating after being crushed by the impact of the pavement, Yurine wins six tickets to a private beach in a street raffle. So Pekora, Yurine, Jashin-chan, Minos, Medusa, and Persephone 2 head to the beach. It is there that they meet Yusa and Koji who are selling shaved ice. After buying a cup Jashin-chan tells Pekora that she will give her a taste if she acts like a dog. Yurine reprimands Jashin-chan by hitting her with the umbrella she is holding. Jashin-chan then goes into the water to cool off, but is eaten by a Kraken. How will Jashin-chan make it out this time?

While Dropkick on My Devil usually feels slow, I actually really liked this episode. While it was a beach episode, there was actually a lot of action, which the show did really well with despite being a slice of life. Everyone wore swimsuits throughout the episode, but there was no fan service besides that. The language remained pretty clean as well. The only part that was bad was Jashin-chan calling the devils stupid for getting along with an angel. Overall it was probably the best episode I have seen so far from the show. 

Dropkick on My Devil!

Jashin-chan is a devil from Hell that was summoned to Earth by a girl named Yurine. The only way for Jashin-chan to get back is to kill her summoner. Though she has made multiple attempts all of them seem to backfire on her. While Jashin-chan tries to come up with a plan to get back, she lives with Yurine and acts as a housewife while Yurine goes to college. Thanks to her friends Medusa and Minos, Jashin-chan isn't alone. However, Medusa and Minos have the option to leave at any time. Will Jashin find a way to get back to Hell?

 Dropkick on My Devil! is one of those shows that I need to watch slowly. I think the main reason is because each episode feels pretty repetitive. However, it is the best show if you like characters breaking the fourth wall and shows that reference other anime. There is a bath scene with minos, but besides that it stays clean. Some characters like Medusa and Jashin-chan show a lot of skin, but I didn't feel like it was distracting at all. I think it is worth giving a shot. You will know whether it is something you want to watch or not just by seeing the first two episodes.

Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld (Season 4) Part 2

Just as things are looking bleak, with The Human Empire army completely surrounded Sinon appears. Using an administrative account by one of the creators of the Underworld she thins out the ranks of the army supporting Poh. Meanwhile Leafa appears before one of the ten commanders of the Dark Territory Army. He is feeling down because not only has he been discriminated against by the beings within the Dark Territory, but has just watched as thousands of members of his clan were sacrificed along with his love.  However, Leafa treats him no different than anyone else. Right after she had cheered him up the commander of the Dark Mages who sacrificed his people appears and attacks Leafa. Can Kirito's friends bring him back to his senses and stop the war?

Sword Art Online - War of Underworld Part 2 was pretty fun to watch. While it continued the war from Season 4 Part 1 it feels completely different. It remained mostly clean except for the part where Leafa is attacked by the Commander. The Dark Mage commander uses magic to replicate something akin to vines that wrap around Leafa and suck away her energy. The language remained clean throughout it which was nice. Overall if you watched the first part of Season 4 you should watch the 2nd Part as well. It kind of drags on partway through, but the beginning and ending are super good.

Overlord: The Undead King

After hearing that his favorite game Yggdrasil is going to be shut down, Momonga stays until the very end. Rather than being cut off and returning to the real world he is transported into the world of Yggdrasil as his character, now all of the NPC's that him and his guild built are all conscious and can think and act for themselves. Now that he is the only one left to carry on his guilds legacy, Momonga changes his name to the guilds which is Ains Ooal Gown, in hopes that he can find other players.

The Movie Overlord: The Undead King is basically just the first half of the first season. So whether you watch the series or the movie you will be getting the same experience. There is some fan service like when Ains touches Albedo's chest to see if everything is actually real or if he i just imagining it. There is also a scene where Albedo is completely undressed in Ains's bed while he is away, in hopes that Ains will be surrounded by her scent when he gets back. Anyway, nothing is added by watching the movie so it is completely up to you whether you watch it or not. 

Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World OVA

Roxanne and Michio spend a night inside getting to know each other better. They decide to come closer by breaking down the boundaries between them. While Roxanne seems against it at first, she consents and they both come out of it looking for new ways to draw closer to each other.

While my description may sound vague, it should be clear what I'm talking about if you know anything about Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World. The two episodes of the OVA take place in the bedroom and in the bath. Both of which Michio and Roxanne get pretty handsy with each other. While I have told people to avoid many animes, this is one you should definitely avoid if you don't like ecchi anime. However, something I learned early on is that OVA's are typically synonymous with fanservice. So it should almost be a given that thats what to expect. While Redo of Healer might have quite a bit wrong with it morally. I think that the OVA for Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World is worse. While the main series has a censored version, this is completely uncensored so there is almost nothing that is left to the imagination. Be careful.

Interspecies Reviewers

Stunk and Zel are out adventuring when they hear a scream in the woods. It is there they find an angel that has broken his Halo. They learn that his name is Crimvael and he is unable to return to Heaven until his halo heals itself. So Stunk and Zel agree to protect him until the time comes for him to return. However, while Stunk and Zel might appear to be a well seasoned pair of adventurers their hobby and main source of income actually comes from visiting brothels and writing reviews on their experiences there. In fact Crim who has remained pure his whole life is taken to a cat girl brothel right after he arrives in the city. Together, an elf, a human, an angel, a beastman, and a halfling form the Interspecies Reviewers.

Interspecies Reviewers is exactly what it sounds like. There isn't really a story told, but the concept is different enough from other anime that that didn't matter to me. While it isn't the type of anime that I could easily binge, the question of what species you will learn about next kept me wanting to finish it. I will say that this is an uncensored anime, so if you decide to watch it be prepared for that. There is a quite a bit of swearing, and the humor is inappropriate as well. There were a few shower and bath scenes, but most of the ecchi aspect was the skimpy clothes that the girls wear. Overall, the anime is very clear about what its supposed to be, so you will know whether you should continue or not by the end of the first episode.

Urawa no Usagi-chan Special

While everyone is away on summer vacation, Saiko Numakage and Kojika Bessho are stuck at the school doing student council work to prepare for the upcoming school festival. Meanwhile Sakura Tajima from the Railway Club has decided to hole up in the school since there is air conditioning and food making it the perfect environment. While the Student Council President fails to notice Sakura's presence like most people, Kojika notices Sakura and decides to take the time to talk with her and get to know her better.

Urawa no Usagi-chan Special episode is completely clean in both language and visuals. It takes place right between the first and second season, so it doesn't feel like it adds a lot since it is more of a transition to season 2 than an addition to season 1. If you liked the first season of Urawa no Usagi-chan I would give the special a try.

Redo of Healer

Keyaru was just an ordinary citizen of the kingdom of Jioral...that is until he learned that he had healing magic. He was really excited when he was made a hero by the kingdom, until he learned the downside of his power. When he heals someone he experiences all of their pain and memories. Doing this caused him to refuse to do his duty as a hero. When Princess Flare learned of this she decided to take advantage of it, by giving him drugs and using his addiction to make him do whatever she wanted. When the time to fight the demon king came Keyaru beat it by himself and took the philosophers stone from the demon king to go back in time and redo his life. This time he is determined to get back at all the people who used him for their own ends. Will everything actually go his way though?

There's a lot that's said about Redo of Healer. It has a bad reputation among a lot of people. To me it was very reminiscent of Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World and Manyu Scroll. However, Redo of Healer actually has an interesting story and doesn't seem repetitive. Flare was annoying at first, but after joining Keyaru's party she becomes a likeable character. Setsuna is also an enjoyable character. There is an inordinate amount of fan service throughout the anime. If you don't like ecchi anime you can watch the censored version which skips over the fan service, or you can completely avoid it. While I enjoyed the story and characters I would never suggest this to someone. It ranks among anime like Worlds End Harem and Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia in terms of fan service. If you read through this and still watch it, be prepared.  

Ganbare, Douki-chan Special

Douki-chan, Kouhai-san, Senpai-san, and Douki-kun all visit a bathhouse. Kouhai-san and Senpai-san try to make it so all the girls can become closer as coworkers. However, the more they talk the more Douki-chan feels she is lacking in some areas. After the bath they all get together at a restaurant. the girls ask Douki-kun who has the best bathing suit. To Douki-chan's surprise he looks over at her. But before she can say anything Kouhai-san and Senpai-san take Douki-kun's arms and tell him to take them home. Will things work out between Douki-chan and Douki-kun?

Ganbare, Douki-chan Special was pretty much what I expected it to be. There's not a lot of space for a story in a five minute episode. a big majority of the episode was the bath scene, so you can expect it to be ecchi. If you liked the main series, you can give the special a try. However, I don't feel like it added anything to the story.

Kämpfer

Natsuru Senou was a regular boy until he received a stuffed tiger who comes alive. He then turns into a girl and is told that he is a Kämpfer. Kämpfer are always girls which is why he has changed genders. trying to figure it out Natsuru leaves for school, but is attacked by a girl with a gun. Natsuru is able to dodge her attacks but dives when he sees his friend Kaede Sakura about to be shot. Before she disappears he asks for her name which she shouts is Akane Mishima. Natsuru back in his guy form tries to forget about what happened when he hears he has been summoned. He soon learns that there is much more to the Kämpfer than he expected.

Kämpfer was an interesting anime for sure. I'll be honest having a  dense main character isn't typically annoying for me. its usually the girls that annoy me in those situations because they blame the main character for not understanding their feelings, but don't tell them that they have a crush, they just expect the guy to know. However, in Kämpfer Natsuru was super annoying because every girl told him clearly and concisely that they love him and he somehow still remained clueless. if he didn't believe it at first I could understand that, however, when you get told multiple times that a girl likes you, I think you should trust people a little more. Anyway there is some ecchi scenes throughout the anime. There are two shower scenes, a scene where you see everyone in swimsuits when they go to the pool, as well as a scene where the female Natsuru tries on a bunch of different outfits for the school festival, Some of which show more skin than necessary. There is also a lot of swearing throughout it. Anyway this is one I wouldn't necessarily suggest unless you like fighting anime's like Akikan. The funny thing is there is actually an Akikan reference in Kämpfer which I thought was super cool.
