SAKAMOTO DAYS Part 2

Four Serial Killers have been let out of prison by Slur. Their targets are Taro Sakamoto and the other members of the Order. These four Death Row Convicts have killed hundreds already. Do They have what it takes to kill Japan's most skilled Hit Men?

SAKAMOTO DAYS PART 2 was really good. It kind of reminded me of Assassination Classroom. Specifically the latter half of the season. I liked how they talked about Taro Sakamoto's past quite a bit. If you enjoyed the first part of SAKAMOTO DAYS I would definitely suggest watching the second cour of season 1 as well. Part 2 remains clean visually, however, there is some swearing hear and there.

Clevatess

Alicia has wanted to become a hero ever since she was little. It all started because the maps her kingdom uses have the majority of the paper black. This is because the areas not colored in are guarded by dark beasts of immense power. To expand the human world she desired to become acknowledged as a hero by the king of Hiden. After years of training she finally achieves her dream and travels to fight the king of Luna Mountain, Clevatess along with twelve other heroes. However, they greatly underestimated Clevatess's power and died quickly. After being provoked Clevatess travels to the Kingdom of Hiden and destroys the Castle along with everyone in it. Right before he leaves a dying woman asks Clevatess to raise the child she's holding, rather than giving up completely on humanity. Clevatess accepts her request and takes the baby back to his mountain. He resurrects Alicia to help him. While she is happy to be back alive she can no longer go against Clevatess because of the dark Ichor that brought her back to life. How will she survive in this new life she's been given? 

Clevatess was weird for the first few episodes, but after that it got really good. I really liked how it felt different from current fantasy anime. The art style in particular made it really stand out to me. While it has a darker feel than most fantasy anime, it still felt fun to watch. Both the language and the visuals are clean. I think the anime is definitely worth the watch.

Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho

After seeing his sister Suzune treated harshly by his father, Jinta takes her and runs away. They come to a little village called Kadono that is known for its blacksmithing. A Sentinal takes in Suzune and Jinta and trains Jinta in Swordsmanship. Life seems peaceful until Suzune hears word that despite having feelings for her brother the Sentinals daughter agrees to marry someone else for the village's sake. Demons invade the village of Kadono and both Suzune and Jinta are turned into Demons while The Sentinal's Daughter, Shirayuki is murdered along with her future husband. Jinta leaves the village and plans to go on a journey to get stronger so that one day he can face his sister and resolve things.  

Sword of the Demon Hunter: Jijin Gentosho was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. While it first appears to be a revenge story, it turns into a mystery anime kind of like The Apothecary Diaries. While the two stories are completely different the structure of the anime's feels the same. The anime is clean both visually and with the language it uses. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity

Chidori High School is a High School that is typically your last choice when choosing a school. It has a large gathering of students who fall behind more often than your average student. Next to Chidori is Kikyo High School. Kikyo is a school for prim and proper girls who always look down on chidori students as if they are trash. Rintaro Tsumugi is no different. After getting contacted by his mom one day he comes home to help at his family's bakery rather than hanging out with his friends. It is there he meets Kaoruko Waguri. Kaoruko offers to buy him a cake to talk with him. The next day Rintaro finds out that Kaoruko is a student at Kikyo High School. How will this affect their relationship going forward?

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity was pretty fun to watch. While I did enjoy it, I think that other people over exaggerated how good it was. I was told that it was about the best romance anime ever. While that may be true for some, it didn't have as big of an impact on me as some other romances like Aharen-san wa Hakarenai and Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms. The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity is clean both visually and with the language it uses. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin

Takuto Ira, the strongest player in the RPG Eternal Nations is reincarnated into a world that resembles the game. However, rather than start everything from scratch, he finds that there is a group of Dark Elves living in his forest. To avoid problems later down the road, he asks them to become part of the country that he is going to build, in exchange their alignment will go from Neutral to Evil. The Elves having been kicked out of all the places they lived before agree to become citizens of his new country, Mynoghra.

Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra is probably the anime I enjoyed the most this season. It has a similar feeling to Overlord at the start, but feels like its own anime after you get a few episodes in. There is some swearing in it, but visually it remains clean. If you enjoy isekai anime that focuses on building your territory like Farming Life in Another World, I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

Puniru is a Kawaii Slime Season 2

Puniru travels around the world in order to have her cuteness acknowledged. Once she achieves her goal she comes back in a box to Kotaro's house. However, she has transformed so much that she doesn't remember what she used to look like. Whats worse is now she is tiny because slime dripped out of the box causing her to duplicate herself with each piece assuming a new identity. Thanks to Kotaro's friends she is able to find all the slime from her original body and become whole again.

Puniru is a Kawaii Slime Season 2 was interesting. It has the same feeling that you get in season 1, However, the addition of a character named Gelee gives the anime a new twist. Gelee is a delusional Ai robot that gained sentience using a piece of Puniru's slime body. She's a bit delusional and believes that Kotaro is the perfect man. The anime is clean both visually and with the language that's used. If you enjoyed Puniru is a Kawaii Slime Season 1, I think you should give Season 2 a try as well.

Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer!

Lloyd grew up being trained by The Great Sage Merlin. Though having no other reference, he believed that Merlin's power was average and he just fell short by comparison. After leaving the forest where he was living with Merlin, he joined The Hero's Party. However, the hero didn't notice how effective Lloyd's magic was and kicked him out for lacking power. Right when he was looking for a new party to join, a swordswoman named Yui invites him to join her party. This group not only ended up being irreplaceable friends to Lloyd, but people who would help him to improve as a person more than anybody had before.

Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer! was exactly what you would expect from a fantasy anime. Lloyd is one of those characters that is completely unaware how powerful he is despite it being completely obvious that he surpasses most adventurers in power. you see this same trope in anime's like I Parry Everything, The Old Newbie Adventurer, and From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman. While the majority of the anime remains clean, there is a scene where Yui and Silica are seen bathing in a lake right before getting attacked by monsters. If you like fantasy anime I would suggest giving this one a try.

The Water Magician

Ryo Mihara is reincarnated to another world where his only wish is to live a quiet life. So, he is sent into a forest with a few months of food and the ability to use water magic. While he starts with almost no power, he quickly becomes more skilled the more he practices. He even meets a dullahan who teaches him how to use a sword. a little while later a ship crashes near the forest where Ryo is living. That's when he saves an adventurer named Abel. While Abel questions Ryo's origins, he teaches him about different things about the world, and even takes him on a journey to a town named Lune. Together they defeat hordes of monsters and use their mana crystals to fund Ryo's new life as an Adventurer.

The Water Magician was pretty good, though there were parts that felt slow to me. I also was disappointed with the ending. The fight between two powerful magicians could have been absolutely amazing, but instead it was pretty disappointing. I think that The Water Magician had the potential to be a lot better than it was. However, I do believe it's worth watching if you enjoy isekai anime. 

The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses

The Hero Toto has been wanting to become an adventurer for a long time. however, he's too shy to ask anyone to join his party. So when Ciel, Anemone, and Goa ask to join his party, his dream finally starts to feel real. What Toto doesn't know is that each one of them has been tasked with killing him. Will he be able to survive the attempts on his life?

The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses was way better than I was expecting it to be. Each character is fun to watch, and it is cool to see a fantasy main character that isn't automatically perfect at everything he does. I also think its cool that the hero wants to improve himself. The anime is mostly clean except for a shower scene and a beach episode. If you like fantasy anime I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

Betrothed to My Sister's Ex

Marie Shadaran is the daughter of a Baron. However, she is treated more like a servant rather than a noble. Even though Marie has spent her entire life being treated poorly, she looked forward to her birthday in hopes that her parents would celebrate her. However, the party the Shadaran's had was centered on Marie's older sister Anastasia. So Marie spent the night in the Garden where she met a Count named Kyros Granado. They seemed to get along right away, but once Marie learned that he was here for the birthday party, she tells Kyros that her sister was inside. Kyros decides to send a letter expressing his love of Marie, but since neither sister gave their name he wrote his offer of Marriage to Anastasia by accident. After Anastasia had traveled to meet the Count about the marriage word came to the Shadaran House that Anastasia had died on her way to the Count's Manor. So Baron Shadaran sends Marie instead.

Betrothed to My Sister's Ex was far better than I was expecting. The name made me hesitant to watch it, but it turned out to be one of my favorite anime's of the season. The entire anime is clean except for a bath scene in the first or second episode. If you like fantasy/romance anime I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant!

After getting kicked out of the world's strongest adventuring party, Dennis decides to open his own restaurant. While he is buying supplies he finds a young girl who reminds him of how he was when he was a child. After seeing her, he decides to make her his new poster girl for his restaurant. Now that everything is set up Dennis has almost no money left, and the first customer who visits also has no money. Will the Adventurer's Restaurant be able to survive?

Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurnat was far better than I was expecting. I was expecting it to be similar to Restaurant to Another World, but it is so much better. It has the perfect mix of food and adventuring. It remains mostly clean, though there is a bath and shower scene. If you like anime like Campfire cooking in Another World, I would give Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant a try. 

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2

Its summer in the Clearflow Lake Stratum, and while everything appears peaceful, a meeting has been called for all the Stratum Directors. Director Bear invites Lammis, Boxxo, and Hulemy to join the meeting on the Dead's Lament Stratum. The meeting is regarding the attack of the Netherlord which nearly killed Hulemy and Shui.The Directors decide that the best option is to attack the Netherlord after gathering the best hunters from each Stratum. But will things actually work out like they planned?

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2 was pretty fun to watch. There were a lot of twists that I wasn't expecting. I really enjoyed getting to learn about more stratums that weren't shown in Season 1. I also enjoyed the new characters that were introduced like Kikoyu and Hevee. The entire season is clean both in language and visually. If you enjoyed Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It r=1-sinθ (Season 2)

After finding out that thier results for the Oxytocin experiment aren't what they expected, the Ikeda lab visits the biology department where they meet Suiu Fujiwara and Chris Floret. Suiu happens to be well versed in analyzing dna samples, so they ask this new couple for help in their research on what the base conditions for love are. Chris and Suiu are happy to participate, but when Ayame and Shinya see that there is a huge gap between Chris and Suiu's verses their own Oxytocin Levels they start to question if what they feel for each other really is love.

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It Season 2 wasn't as great as season 1, but it was still fun to watch.  New characters are introduced in this season which make the story become more interesting. Its fun to see more of the college students lives. I particularly enjoyed the episode where Ayame and Shinya follow Kanade and Naoya on their date along with ten other couples for research purposes. The season remains mostly clean, though there are a few scenes where Suiu wears revealing clothes. If you liked Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It

When Masters Degree student Ayame Himuro confesses her love to her colleague Shinya Yukimura, he asks her to scientifically prove that she loves him. The both of them then begin a journey to discover what love is, and if there is a common link in every relationship. Realizing they can't do this on their own, they involve the other members of their lab in their study. Together each one of them tries to help Ayame and Shinya using things like shojo manga, dating simulators, and common practices to discover new ways that love can be expressed.

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It was way better than I was expecting. I don't typically watch anime with adult characters, so I had my expectations set pretty low. However, I found the mix of love and science super fun to watch. While there is a beach episode, I would suggest this to any romance anime fan. It was definitely worth the watch. 

LOVE FLOPS

Asahi Kashiwagi wakes up one day and hears a fortune telller tell him that he will have many interesting encounters that day. He isn't convinced and continues on with his day. However, one by one things start to turn out just as the fortune teller had foretold. He runs into five girls who all transfer to his same school. After the school day is done he goes home to find out that the five girls are actually moving in with him, and it was all arranged for him by his father who tells him that these five are potential partners for him. While Asahi doesn't want to accept this situation, he lets the girls stay with him.

LOVE FLOPS was an interesting anime. While it wasn't my favorite, I still enjoyed it. It kind of felt like somebody tried to copy Date A Live but failed to capture what truly makes Date A Live great. It honestly reminded me of a lot of different anime's. It reminded me of ones like Sword Art Online, Date A Live, Nakaimo, Infinite Stratos,  and Liar, Liar. In other words it was a harem anime that had a unique twist to it. There is some swearing, and since it is an ecchi anime, there is a bath scene, a hot spring episode, and a beach episode. If you don't mind the ecchi genre, I think you should give it a try.

Wistoria: Wand and Sword

In a school full of magic students, Will Serfort is the only student with no magic ability. Thanks to this he is seen as inferior by almost everyone. However, when Will uses a sword he is able to cut through magic and defeat high level monsters all on his own. His ultimate goal is to join his childhood friend, Elfie, at the tower. The tower is where all the most talented mages reside. Is it possible that Will's skill with a sword will be enough to get to him to the pinnacle of magic?

Wistoria: Wand and Sword was pretty fun to watch. It has a similar feel to Mashle: Magic and Muscles and Reign of the Seven Spellblades. While it was written by the same author as Is It Wrong to Try and Pick Up Girls in the Dungeon, I didn't feel like the beginning was as captivating. The last four episodes were just as good, as the best fight scenes in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in the Dungeon though. Wistoria: Wand and Sword doesn't have any fan service, nor does it contain any swearing. Everyone does call Will mean names though. Anyway, I would suggest giving it a try.

The Shiunji Family Children

The Shiunji family Children consist of Banri, Seiha, Arata, Ouka, Minami, Shion, and Kotono. All of them had grown up together believing they were family. However, on Kotono's 15th Birthday their father tells them that all seven of them are actually adopted. This doesn't change much, except that they have the ability to date each other now. While each sibling deals with the news in their own way, Kotono couldn't be happier. Previously she had confessed her feelings to her brother Arata, but it was brushed off as being the confusion of a child. But will this news actually change the relationships that these siblings have built up their entire lives?

I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed with The Shiunji Family Children. I was hoping for a sibling romance. While I won't say that the anime is devoid of romance, it was more like each sibling trying to figure out how they felt about the news. It did get better near the end. Episode 11 and 12 make it look like romance between the siblings might actually happen. The disappointing thing is that the anime ends without any clues as to how it will turn out. If you enjoy sibling romance anime, I would suggest giving The Shiunji Family Children a try.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Movie

One day while Catarina is riding in her carriage with her maid, Anne, her dog jumps out and runs to what looks like some abandoned ruins. While Catarina is unable to find her dog, spot, she does find a small bird who appears out of thin air. She names him Piyo and has him accompany her. After returning to the carriage, Anne and Catarina see a caravan passing by and decide to visit it. There she meets a man named Aaqil who is able to understand animals. This fascinated Catarina and she decided to come watch their show with her friends, Mary, Sophia, and Maria.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Movie was actually pretty fun to watch. What was really nice was I didn't feel like I needed to rewatch the show to understand what was going on. I really enjoyed the new cast of side characters. It kind of reminded me of Black Butler: Book of Circus a little bit. The language is clean and the characters all dress modestly. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

SHIROHIYO - Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble: Raising My Baby Brother With Memories From My Past Life

Ageha Kikunoi is a 5 year old who up until recently believed that everything would go his way if he threw a temper tantrum. Though after he recalls the memories of his previous life in Japan, he is humbled. In order to apolagize to the many employees he's wronged, he asks each of them to teach him their craft. So at 5 years old Ageha becomes skilled in Sewing, cooking, gardening, and cleaning. He quickly realizes that there is no one in this world who loves him, and the only reason his maids, chef, tutor, and gardener stick around is because his parents are paying them.  Things start to change after Ageha's Father introduces him to Regulus. Regulus is Ageha's half brother who was born between Ageha's father and another woman. While Ageha's mother is reluctant to take Regulus in, Ageha makes a plan that will allow Regulus to grow up alongside him. Will things really turn out all right though?

I had very low expectations going into SHIROHIYO, because every website I looked at gave it a low rating. While it wasn't terrible, it wasn't all that great either. Though it did get better near the end. After it finished, I kind of hoped that there would be a new season announced. The language is clean, and all the characters dress modestly. Even though it wasn't the best fantasy anime I've seen, I still think people should give it a try. 

From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!

Kenzaburou Tondabayashi was a 52 year old dad before he died saving a child that was about to be run over by a truck. He was then reincarnated as the villainess of his daughter's favorite video game, Magical Academy: Love and Beasts. While he tries to fulfill his role as the villainess, he ends up befriending the main character, Anna Doll, rather than becoming her enemy. Due to the complete change in Grace Auvergne personality, everyone ends up growing love and respect for her rather than disdain. Little does he know that his wife and daughter are watching him through their screen and helping him in hopes that he will someday return to his previous life on earth.

From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! feels like it has elements from other villainess anime's. The setup of the show reminds me of Endo and Kobayashi Live: The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte. It has the same type of feel when it switches back and forth between the fantasy world and Earth. The dynamic between the student council kind of reminds me of My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom. The relationship between Grace and Anna kind of reminds me of I'm in Love With the Villainess!. So If you are a fan of villainess Anime like I am, I would definitely suggest giving this one a watch. The characters all dress modestly and the series is free of any swear words. It surpassed my expectations with every way possible.

Please Put Them On, Takamine-san

Koushi Shirota is your typical side character that blends into the background. However, he has always gone to the same schools as Takane Takamine who is the student council president of Fujihigashi high school. one day while Koushi is eating his meal alone Takane comes into the sports room to get dressed. While it wasn't intentional he sees her get dressed. Later in the day when she stands up and takes her panty's off in the middle of class, Koushi asks why Takane did it. He then learns that she has a super power to go back in time and undo things throughout the day whenever she takes off her underwear. Now that Koushi has seen her bare breasts he no longer loses his memory when Takane goes back in time. So she approaches him and asks him to be her closet. With the ability to shape the world how she wants it will Takane actually take no for an answer?

Please Put Them On, Takamine-san was not a great anime. While the premise seems unique at first it honestly ended up feeling like some other Romance anime's like Bokuben: We Never Learn and Masamune-kun's Revenge. There is plenty of unneeded fan service throughout the anime, but it was also to be expected given the premise of the show. I would suggest skipping this one if you happen to come across it. 

The Apothecary Diaries Season 2

Now that Concubine Gyokuyou's daughter Lingli is a little older, she is allowed to go outside the Jade Pavilion. On one of her walks she comes across a stray cat. Not wanting the princess to get dirty, Maomao takes it away to the clinic to be cleaned. While taking care of an animal in the rear palace requires permission, the emperor allows it. Meanwhile Books start circulating in the rear palace. Originally they were handed out to each of the 100 concubines to educate them on ways to act. However, Jinshi later hands out regular novels to the servants in an attempt to make them want to learn to read and write. Xiaolan comes to Maomao with that same request.

The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 started out really good and was good for the majority of the season. However, in the last few episodes a lot of secrets were revealed. I don't know if that was what made it harder to finish or not though. The characters were just as enjoyable as they were in season 1 though. Everybody dresses modestly and the language is kept clean. If you enjoyed The Apothecary Diaries Season 1, I would suggest giving Season 2 a try.  

Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles Season 2

After saving Celia from her unwanted marriage, Haruto and Aisha take her to a large green field. It is there that they see six beams of light shoot into the sky. Haruto runs to a spot with that has used spatial magic. there he finds three japanese people who have been summoned. One is his little sister Aki, and Miharu who he loved in his previous life, as well as Masato who is Aki's new brother after she and Haruto separated. While the three of them had been captured by slave traders, Haruto defeats them with ease and takes the Masato, Aki, and Miharu along with him on his journey.

It has been a long time since I have watched Seirei Gensouki, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The beginning is a little weird as it uses both the made up fantasy language and japanese. Aisha translates but the two languages overlap for the first three or four episodes. The story was good though, and it ended on a satisfying note. So even if a third season doesn't come out, I don't feel like I need it. There is a bath scene, a shower scene, and a hot springs scene. However, the majority of the anime the characters dress modestly and use clean language. If you enjoyed the first season, I would suggest giving Seirei Gensouki Season 2 a try.

ZatsuTabi -That's Journey-

Chika Suzugamori is an aspiring Manga Artist. She has just won a competition that gave her one million yen and a deal to have her manga published in a magazine. However, every draft she's created since the competition has been rejected. After watching a tv show where people decide which direction to go by rolling a six sided die, Chika deecides to create a poll where she asks people which direction she should go on a journey from Tokyo. After the poll finishes Chika travels in hopes of gaining the inspiration she needs to get her manga approved.

ZatsuTabi -That's Journey- was an okay anime. It wasn't good enough to binge, but each episode has a relaxing feel to it. It also lets you know about different parts of japan and what kinds of things are popular there. While the anime remains mostly clean, there are a fair amount of episodes with hot springs scenes. If you enjoy anime that focus on the outdoors such as laid back camp and encouragement of climb, you should give Zatsutabi a try.

Puniru is a Kawaii Slime

When Kotaro Kawaii was in elementary school he created a slime by watching others do it on TV. The slime he created came alive, and he named it Puniru. Puniru became obsessed with being cute. Mainly because Kotaro refuses to acknowledge her as being cute. So she decides to do everything in her power to win him over. But will her efforts draw them closer, or pull them apart even more?

Puniru is a Kawaii Slime was better than I thought it would be. It doesn't look great if you don't know anything about it, and the first few episodes aren't super interesting either. But after a few episodes I was actually drawn in to the story. While slimes are typically seen in the fantasy genre. Seeing one in a slice of life type story was actually pretty interesting. Puniru can do all sorts of transformations which are fun to see. Based on what she absorbs it can even affect her personality. If you decide to give it a try, give it a few episodes to see if you like it rather than turning away right at the beginning. 

Sekirei: Pure Engagement Special

Things are hard at the construction job for Seo, especially after the plan to get  Kuno and her Ashikabi out of the city went awry. So when he catches word that he can go to MBI's resort facility for free he takes Hibiki and Hikari along, and invites Minato to come with Musubi, Matsu, Tsukiumi, and Kusano. Together the visit MBI's private beach, as well as their hot springs to relax from all the tension that has built up recently.

This is episode zero in Sekirei Season 2. While it probably isn't important to the story, it was still fun to watch. As you might expect of a special episode, due to the beach scene, hot springs scene, and gym scene, there is plenty of fan service throughout the episode. Whether that's good or bad is up to you. If you don't like Ecchi anime's you can skip this one, but if you do you might give it a try after watching season 1 of Sekirei. 

I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons

Leticia Dorman lived a carefree life out in the countryside until she was whisked away to the castle after turning seven. For ten years she was taught how to be a proper lady, so she could one day be worthy of marrying the crown prince. However, Leticia had no romantic feelings whatsoever toward Prince Clark, so when she sees him with another woman at a ball, she runs back to the countryside. Just when Leticia believed that everything was going her way she is met by prince Clark who promptly returns her to the castle. He made a claim that he would not marry any other woman besides Leticia. Will Leticia be able to return his feelings?

I was honestly disappointed by this anime at first. I had read that it was about a girl going to the countryside after she sees her prince with another woman. So I was expecting something like banished from the hero's party, I Decided to Live a Quite Life in the Countryside. So when she is taken back to the castle it was hard to watch for the first four episodes. But after the fifth I began to like it. It ended in a really satisfying way. So I'm not expecting a season 2. I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons was clean both in language and with the way the characters dressed. If you like fantasy romance anime's I would suggest giving it a try.   

Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic

When Ciel hears that there has rumors of a hospital raising the dead he asks Sebastian to investigate. They learn that there is a secret society behind it and they are meeting on a luxury cruise liner known as Campania. Coincidentally, it is the same ship that his Fiancée Lizzy had invited him to go on with her family. Ciel, Sebastian, and Snake successfully get on and infiltrate the meeting. However, what happens next was unexpected to everyone. The technology used doesn't bring corpses back to life, but instead turns them into zombies. Pretty soon the entire cruise ship is overrun with zombies. Will Everyone be able to make it out alive?

I wasn't quite sure if Black Butler: Book of Murder was necessary to watch, But Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic made it clear that it is. The reason I was led to believe this is because it is the only season of black butler you can't find on Crunchyroll. Something that I realized as I was watching the movie was that the characters acted overly surprised when they find out a secret. However, this same secret was revealed in the 2nd cour of season 1. It was then that I remembered that the 2nd half of season 1 and all of season 2 were not cannon. I kind of wish I had known about the order before I started watching it. I was also a little disappointed that Finny, Mey-rin, and Baldroy are only a part of the movie for the first minute or so. Overall, the movie was good and should definitely be watched after Black Butler: Book of Murder.

Black Butler: Book of Murder (Season 3 Part 2)

 

When the queen hears about Ciel's latest mission to capture the kidnappers and save the children, she doesn't entirely believe Ciel's excuse for burning everyone alive.So as a test she sends her personal butlers and asks that Ciel host a party for a german man who will be coming to England. Ciel invites a number of guests including Arthur Conan Doyle. While the party seemed to be going normal at first things change when the guest of honor, Georg Von Siemon is murdered in a locked room. Slowly more and more of the guests start to die. Will Ciel and Arthur Conan Doyle be able to solve the mystery before everyone is dead?

Black Butler: Book of Murder was pretty fun to watch. I never thought that I would see sir Arthur Conan Doyle in an Anime but it makes sense since the story's setting is in England. Everyone dresses modestly and there is no swearing. If you enjoy anime's that have a mystery element to it, I would definitely suggest giving Black Butler: Book of Murder a try.

Sekirei Special

When Kusano doesn't feel like she is being accepted as one of Minato's wives she says she wants to join the shopping races with Tsukiumi and Musubi. However, rather than going straight there she goes the wrong direction. After Musubi redirects Kusano, Kusano gets sidetracked by a cat. After using the cat to get to the store Kusano forgets what she is actually shopping for. So rather than it being a race, it becomes an experience that draws Kusano, Musubi, and Tsukiumi closer together.

Kusano's first errand was better than I was expecting. It was fun to see how Musubi and Tsukiumi help Kusano. I had honestly thought that the three of them would go straight to the store. Surprisingly, this episode didn't have fan service for the majority of it. There is a bath scene at the very end though. Overall it was pretty wholesome. If you liked Sekirei  Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving this Special episode a try.

Sekirei

Minato Sahashi is a college reject. After failing to get in to his desired college for the second year in a row, Minato walks the streets of Teito trying to figure out what to do next. Then out of nowhere, a girl named Musubi falls from the sky and lands right on top of him. It turns out that she is being chased by two girls who have lightning powers. Without thinking Musubi runs away while holding Minato's hand . They end up at his apartment, but thanks to the landlord walking in and seeing the two they are kicked out since it is an apartment complex for singles. After leaving they run into the two girls who were chasing Musubi before. Musubi is a sekirei and her power can only truly shine when she has an Ashikabi or partner. To escape being chased Musubi kisses Minato making him her Ashikabi. Now a new life awaits them.

Sekirei was more interesting than I expected it to be. It kind of reminded me a little bit of Darwins game at first since its a death game type anime taking place in the real world. However, one of the Sekirei uses cloth as a weapon which kind of reminded me of Tsugumomo. I was also kind of reminded of Akikan as well with the whole concept of kissing awakens their powers. The anime is uncensored, which is probably a turn off for most people. There are bath scenes in just about every episode as well as a lot of panty shots. Unless you are looking for an ecchi anime that has death game type feel to it, you can probably skip this one.

Ladies Versus Butlers

It's Akiharu Hino's forst day at Hakureiryou Academy where he has transferred to become a butler. However, he happens to meet Selnia Iora Flameheart who trips and in his attempt to save her ends up earning her Ire as he falls on top of her. Rumors spread wildly about Akiharu being someone who will do unthinkable things to you if you let your guard down. Right as he is about to be captured by all the girls in the school Tomimi Saikyo steps in saying that Akiharu was always kind growing up and that he doesn't have bad intentions. With that things settle down. But, everyone keeps their distance from him giving him little opportunity to practice his skills as a butler. In what seems to be an act of kindness Tomimi says that she will help him on his journey through school. Though Akiharu knows that Tomimi's true nature is not so magnanimous as she makes it out to be. She always has an ulterior motive when making a decision. Will Akiharu ever be able to have a normal school life?

There are a lot of things I want to say about Ladies Verses Butlers. At first it has a To Love Ru kind of feel with how clumsy Akiharu seems to be. It also has the feel of anime's where I guy goes to school and happens to be the only guy there like Infinite Stratos and Shomin Sample. It also has the tropey characters like the girl who pretends to be a boy like Charlotte in Infinite Stratos. The girl who always thinks the mc is shameless like Yui Kotegawa in To Love Ru. The short girl who is a high schooler but looks like a child like Hakua Shiadome in Shomin Sample. I really started to like it toward the end. I was hoping that Selnia and Akiharu would get together, but I was disappointed with an ending that makes you think "Is that it?". I don't regret watching this, but I wouldn't suggest it either. Not to mention there is an absurd amount of fan service which kind of felt like Rosario + Vampire. It has bath scenes, shower scenes, a hot spring episode, a beach episode, as well as many locker room scenes. Unless harem anime's where the boy goes to an all girls school is your preference, you can probably skip this one. 

Black Butler: Book of Circus (Season 3)

When the queen sends Ciel a letter notifying him about a string of kidnappings, she asks him to investigate. The first thing they notice is that every town that has been kidnapped from has been visited by the Noah's Arc Circus. So Sebastian and Ciel visit the circus, which seems just like any other circus at first glance. So rather than try and figure things out from outside they infiltrate the circus and become performers, to better understand what goes on behind the scenes.

Black Butler: Book of Circus was a better than the last season. I found out that Black Butler Season 2 can actually be skipped since it was never actually part manga, nor was anything past the cooking competition in season 1. The season remains mostly clean. There is a scene where a lot of the guys are shirtless as they pour water on themselves. There is also a scene where you see Sebastian put his arms around a girl to get information out of her. While you don't see anything inappropriate it's heavily implied that they were being far more intimate than one would usually be with an acquaintance. If you enjoyed the previous seasons I would give Book of Circus a try as well. 

I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths!

Yuke Feldio was in an A-rank adventuring party known as Thunder Pike. However, after being mistreated by his adventuring companions he leaves his party. It isn't long after that he runs into a student he taught named Marina who after hearing he isn't part of a party anymore invites him to join her party. After talking with the rest of the group he agrees to join and be the party's leader. They decide on the name Clover for their party because there are four of them. While they may be at the lowest rank for now Clover's sense of teamwork will surely raise their rank.

I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! was better than I was expecting. Usually the trope is somebody getting kicked out of their party, but Yuke leaves voluntarily. While it's similar to the common trope, I believe this feels a little more realistic. I also think that Simon is probably the best antagonist in the banished from the hero's party trope since the hero in Beast Tamer. Both antagonist give you a feeling of satisfaction after they are beaten. The anime is mostly clean with a few hot spring scenes and a lake scene as well. If you like fantasy anime, I would definitely suggest watching this one.

I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level Season 2

The Witch of the Highlands, Azusa, realizes that it has been a long time since she has done anything witch-like, so she decides to grab medicinal herbs in the forest. It is there that she finds red beans. She takes them back with her and creates manju buns. After trying them out Halkara tells Azusa that she should sell them. Falfa then says that they kind of look like slimes and might look cute if they had a face on them. Azusa, Falfa, Shalsha, Halkara, Laika, and Rosalie all go into town and set up a stall selling "snack slimes". A line soon forms and someone mentions that cooking must be the witch of the highlands special skill. It is then that Azusa remembers that she still hasn't done anything witch-like. But she believes she is the happiest witch alive.

I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level Season 2 was just as fun as Season 1. It bears a similar resemblance in structure with Azusa meeting new people and helping them out, as well as spending time with Beelzebub and the Demon King Pecora. The language is clean and the clothes are modest. If you liked season 1, you should definitely watch season 2.

To Love ru: Multiplication - From the Front from Behind

When Lala makes an invention that looks like a cat, she goes to show it to Rito. Rito accidentally touches it an it makes two of him. Lala says that if you grab the tail it will stop Rito from making clones of himself. However, the cat has already run off. Whats worse everytime Rito sneezes it makes more clones of himself. Pretty soon the entire school is overrun with Rito clones. Will Rito and his friends be able to catch the cat before Rito's clones take over the city?

To Love Ru: Multiplication was wild. I had read about the episode on google but people's descriptions do not do it justice. The amount of trouble Rito causes when he duplicates himself should be enough to make him a criminal. That's probably why this was the last episode in the series. The Ecchi elements in this episode is on par with anime's like Redo of Healer and Testament of Sister New Devil. So if you don't like fan service I would for sure avoid this one.

To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2 OVA

One night, right as Rito Yuuki is about to fall asleep, Nemesis appears in his room. She tells him that she has been spending time in the library recently and she is interested in ghost stories. So she came to have him tell her a ghost story. Momo then pops out of the closet and says that she will tell a ghost story. So she starts to tell one that she heard as a child from Zastin. The story is about a man who's spacecraft malfunctioned and stranded him on a strange planet. He then walks around hoping to find food and shelter somewhere in this planet that appears to be devoid of people, with only trees and plants as far as the eye can see. He then stumbles upon a mansion. When he knocks on the door, he is greeted by an old hag. Nemesis then interrupts saying that it should be a young woman who greets him. Momo says that that's just how the story is and continues talking about how after the man had gone to bed he wakes up and standing over him is the old hag.

To Love Ru Darkness 2 OVA was pretty fun. I never thought that I would see a episode with a scary story in it. The other episodes are similar to your average To Love Ru episodes. Lala creates an invention, the invention malfunctions, and Rito is caught in some kind of trouble. The episodes have a lot of fan service in them. Hot Springs scenes, panty shots, and much much more. If you enjoy To Love Ru, I would give these OVA's a shot.

A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof

After Konoha Koga leaves school early, she finds what appears to be a dead ninja in a dark alley. After kicking the body the ninja wakes up and asks for some food. Konoha is reluctant at first but brings her to a nearby restaurant. The ninja introduces herself as Satoko Kusagakure. After eating and leaving the restaurant the two are approached by Satoko's Senpai who is there to kill her since running from the village is prohibited. Without hesitation, Konoha stabs Satoko's senpai. To hide the body, Satoko uses her ninjutsu to turn the dead body into leaves. Seeing this new ability Konoha asks Satoko to team up with her. Thus begins a new story of how a low ranked assassin and a drop-out ninja work together to improve their skills.

A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof was better than I was expecting. It wasn't the best by far this season, but it was a fun slice of life type anime with occasional short lived action scenes. The language and modesty is clean throughout the anime. However, it involves a lot of killing, which should be obvious since one of the main characters is an assassin. If you like slice of life type anime, I would suggest giving this one a try.

To Love Ru Darkness 2 Specials

Nemesis has awakened the Darkness within Yami-chan. However, instead of turning her into the ultimate weapon, a bug turned her into the ultimate pervert. Now all she desires is to become one with Rito who she sees as the most shameless man there is. Though becoming one would mean killing him. With this knowledge Mea, Nana, and Momo come up with a plan to turn Yami back. Unfortunately, it relies heavily on Rito, who is clumsy. Will Rito be able to turn Yami back?

While specials from series aren't typically needed to watch, I felt like To Love Ru Darkness 2 Specials are important since they carry on the story that To Love Ru Darkness 2 left unfinished. If you enjoyed the To Love Ru Season 4 finale I would definitely suggest watching this. However, just like the other To Love Ru content, it is full of fan service. 

To Love Ru Darkness 2 (Season 4)

The day started out like any other, with Rito grabbing Momo's tail before waking up. After Nana walks in and tells the two to get ready, they all head to school together. It's there that Nana meets Haruna and gives her her favorite energy drink from Deviluke. However, the drink is unsuitable for someone from earth, and Haruna gets drunk from it. When Rito walks in on the situation, he walks her home receiving more than a few concerned looks by the public. Once he gets to Haruna's house, she asks him to nurse her back to health. Will it be that easy though?

To Love Ru Darkness 2 is just what you would expect if you have watched anything past the first season. There are multiple bath scenes, multiple shower scenes, a pool scene, and more accidental trips than you can count. However, I really enjoyed it. Some people claim that Momo has replaced Lala, but Lala isn't completely excluded. She still makes her appearances to give out inventions that end up making trouble rather than solving it. The ending was also really intense. I would definetely suggest it if you enjoyed any of the previous seasons of To Love Ru. However, feel free to avoid it if you don't like the Ecchi genre.

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman

Beryl Gardenant has been running a dojo out in the country for over 20 years. When one of his old students, Allucia Citrus, comes back to visit, he is delighted to see her. However, things change when she announces that she arranged things so that he will be a special instructor for the Liberion Knights. Now he has to move to the capital and leave his slow life behind. When Beryl does moves to the capital, he meets many previous students of his that have all gone and distinguished themselves.

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman kid of had a similar feeling to I Parry Everything and The Middle Aged Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Strongest Party, Became Invincible. Each one of these star an older overpowered main character that is completely unaware of their strength. The language is clean and the characters dress modestly. If you enjoy fantasy anime's that star an older character you should give this one a try.

The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl

In this world, everyone is chosen by an animal god. Depending on the god who chooses you, your life can be greatly affected. Sophia Riller wanted to get chosen by an animal god that didn't stand out too much like a fish god. However, she was chosen by the gorilla god. Now her combat prowess is second to none. Shortly after receiving her blessing, she is told that the knights want her to participate in the exam to become a junior knight. Sophia made a plan to get disqualified, but greatly underestimated her new powers. Will Sophia be able to live the life she wants?

The Gorilla God's Go-To Girl was actually better than I was expecting. It had a similar feeling as Bogus Skill <<Fruitmaster>>, in the sense that there powers are decided randomly. What it does better is that Sophia is confined to her one power rather than receiving more and more. It kind of has an otome game feel to it in the romance aspect. The anime is wholesome and has clean language. If you enjoy fantasy anime I would suggest giving it a try.

Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Season 2

Raido and Aharen are in their second year of high school now. Thankfully, they are not alone. Ishikawa, Sato, and Oshiro have all been placed in their class as well. What they didn't expect was a new student to transfer into their class. Riku Tamanaha was a friend of Aharen in the past, but left her without a word. This made Aharen self conscious about getting too close to others. However, Riku wants to become friends again and make up for what happened in the past.

Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Season 2 was just as good as season 1. It had the same type of humor as season 1 which made it awesome. I didn't like the opening song as much as season 1 at first, but I grew to love it the more I listened to it. I think the addition of Tamanaha also gave Season 2 something special that was missing from Season 1. While there was a beach episode, the majority of the season remained wholesome. If you liked Aharen-san Season 1 or want to see a fun romance anime, I would definitely suggest watching it.

Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World!

After defeating the demon lord with his adventuring party, Hinata returns to earth believing that he will never see them again. However, not long after he returns, a magic circle appears in his apartment, and out of it falls his previous adventuring companion, Mariabelle. Mariabelle decides to live with hinata claiming that life in the other world without him was boring. However, what he didn't know is that Mariabelle had broken some rules in order to come to earth. Because of this his other two adventuring companions Cecil and Mai come to earth to observe Mariabelle on the governments orders.

Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World! was different than I was expecting. Belle isn't as yandere as I was picturing. She seems extremely possessive of Hinata, but not to the point that she would kill others to keep him to herself, like other yandere characters have done. I was honestly hoping that Hinata would end up with Sakura, his friend from Earth. But, it was pretty obvious from the title that Belle and Hinata would become a couple. It is an uncensored anime, which means that it has plenty of fan service. So, if you are not a fan of the Ecchi genre, you can skip this one.

Makina-san's a Love Bot?!

Eita Akutsu is your average npc character who loves robotics. When he saves a robot he created from falling down the stairs, he bumps into Makina, the idol of his school. She tells him that it was admirable of him to save a robot, and with that he falls in love. Later after getting home he sees someone in front of his apartment. It turns out to be Makina who asks if she can stay with him, since someone blew up her house. Makina then reveals that she is a robot with advanced AI. But thanks to the explosion, she is falling apart and needs someone to fix her. She believes that Eita meets all the qualifications for the task. But things get more complicated after Makina's friend Mamimi finds out that they know each other and assumes Eita is Makina's stalker.

Makina-san's a Love Bot is pretty good for a short anime. However, it is uncensored and is full of fan service. So unless you like Ecchi anime, I would suggest skipping over this one.  

I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!

After his Boss stole money and framed him, Our protagonist's wife leaves him as well. As he is nearing his death he swears vengeance for all the people who wronged him in his life. He is then sent to a fantasy/sci-fi world where he is reborn as Liam Sera Banfield. At the age of five his parents leave him to govern the planet they rule over as well as to shoulder all the debt they've accrued over the last two generations. All he gets to help him is his parents former butler and a robot maid with artificial intelligence. Will Liam be able to become an evil lord? 

I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! was boring at the beginning, but it became one of my favorite anime's this season. The anime is mostly clean, but their are scenes here and there with panty shots. There is also a scene where Liam fondles his robot maid claiming that he is making sure she is exactly what he ordered. But overall it was pretty fun to watch. If you don't mind a little fan service here and there, and you enjoy the sci-fi genre I would suggest giving it a try.

The Beginning After the End

King Gray, also known as "The Strongest King" dies and is reborn in another world as Arthur Leywin. While there are a lot of differences in this new world, some things remain the same. One of these is the way that magic is handled. While most people awaken to their magic in their early teens, thanks to this Arthur is able to awaken his magic at the age of three. This unexpectedly blows up the house he and his family were living in. While their house is rebuilt with the help of Arthur's parents former Adventuring Party, they eventually leave with the help of this same party. However, the carriage is attacked by bandits and Arthur falls off a cliff, landing in a dense forest. Will he be able to return to his family?

The Beginning after the end feels incredibly similar to Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. I would describe it as Mushoku Tensei if Rudeas wasn't a pervert. The chain of events even seems similar with Arthur being raised by his family, becoming an adventurer, and then going to a school of magic. While the last part hasn't happened yet, it is hinted at at the end of the season. The anime is completely clean. If you enjoy fantasy anime, I would definitely suggest giving it a try.
