Rescue ME!

After his parents leave overseas for work, Masayuki Mizutani has the whole house to himself...or so he thought. When he comes home Sayaka Shimizu is waiting for him in an apron. She tells him that his parents hired her and now she is his personal maid. While Masayuki just wants to have a peaceful life, Sayaka is determined to win Masayuki over...no matter what methods she has to use.

Rescue ME! was like watching a season of anime in one episode. It kept the popular tropes like the beach episode and hot springs episode while also introducing the characters in a natural way that doesn't feel rushed. It was actually pretty well done for a stand alone ova. The downside is that the entire episode is full of fan service. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone unless they specifically ask about it.

Wakakozake

Wakako Murasaki's favorite thing to do after a long day at work is to go to different restaurants and try their food. She doesn't eat everything all at once, but tries to experience each flavor that goes into the food, along with a tasty drink.

Wakakozake is pretty similar to Love is Like a Cocktail in the sense that both revolve around a character enjoying drinking after a long day at work. But Where the two differ is Wakakozake focuses more on the meal she is eating rather than the drink. It was pretty fun to watch. While it is two minutes like Teekyuu the character speaks at a slow pace which was kind of a nice change. If you like short anime's I would suggest giving Wakakozake a try.

Teekyuu Season 4

Marimo Bandou introduces her friend Tomarin to the rest of the tennis club. Tomarin tries to convince everyone that she's an alien from another planet but no one believes her. Udonko Kondo from the newspaper club asks for Yuri's help in determining if a rumor she heard is true. Supposedly there is a cherry tree where if someone is confessed to under it their body is found buried under it the next day. So Udonko confesses her love for Yuri to see if the legend proves to be true. The Tennis club goes to the beach where they end up drifting off to sea.

Teekyuu Season 4 was a fun ride. The season stayed mostly clean, but there were two beach episodes where you see the girls in swimsuits. If you enjoyed the first three seasons of Teekyuu I would suggest giving Season 4 a try.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Season 3

As Hajime and his classmates ride in his newly formed airship they see a group of rabbits being pursued by imperial soldiers. However, rather than getting caught they lure the soldiers into a trap and attack them. Hajime, Shea, and Yue recognize them as Shea's family and the same bunny's that Hajime trained to be strong back when he first met Shea. He lands his ship and after talking with the bunnies, they learn that Shea's dad along with a group of other bunnies from her clan have disappeared after illegally entering the empire. Hajime, Shea, and Yue find out where Shea's dad and friends are being held and release them from prison.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Season 3 was far better than I was expecting. Some viewers complained about the animation and the length of the time in the labyrinths, but I though both were great. I couldn't really tell a difference in the animation. I don't typically notice that type of thing, but if I do notice, it has to be blatantly clear like what happened in Demon Lord, Retry Season 1 & 2. There are some inappropriate jokes in this season, but for the most part its clean. There is a bit of swearing in it as well. However, if you enjoyed the first and second season I would definitely give season three a try as well.

Teekyuu Season 3

The girls walk home during a rainy day. They try to find a way to all get home dry. Someone suggest spreading Yuri out super thin so that they can all be covered. In the end they all get drenched and stay at Kanae's house where the power goes out. Nasuno gets approached by thugs and is saved by a boy named Yota. The girls also learn that a cake shop is deeply in debt and they try to help by creating different cakes of their own.

Teekyuu Season 3 was just as chaotic as Seasons 1 and 2. I did laugh super hard during this season though. In the end of the anime the girls study for a test and Kanae does her best to teach them. But her method of doing so is hilarious, especially the math problems she gives them. There is a bath scene but its brief in episode two. Besides that the anime stays clean in both visuals and language. If you liked seasons 1 and 2 I would suggest giving Season 3 a try.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft

Two more of Nyaruko's friends from space join her and Mahiro on Earth. Kuko tries getting a job, but ends up messing up all the tasks that are given to her.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft was a bit more confusing than the original shorts. There also seemed to be a lot more wasted time in these episodes. Each episode has a random scene at the end similar to what in Anime Kapibarasan. Though Anime Kapibarasan kept it interesting by giving you random facts about Capybaras. With this the ending scenes felt totally unrelated to the storyline. The language is mostly clean, and everybody dresses modestly. If it sounds interesting, feel free to give it a try.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani

Mahiro and Nyaruko participate in various activities. Some of these include cooking, role playing games, storytelling, and pillowcase making. Mahiro and Nyaruko also advertise their own manga.

Haiyoru! Nyaruani kind of reminded me of Dropkick on My Devil! While there is far less violence in this one. They both share the trait of a lazy girl staying with a human and occasionally getting attacked. While there wasn't much humor throughout the shorts, I did laugh once. I should mention that I haven't watched the actual series yet, but I was still able to understand most of what was going on. If it sounds interesting, it might be worth a try.

Nina the Starry Bride

Nina grew up on the streets scavenging for food in hoops of living another day. Unable to get medicine one of her friends who lived with her died. her other friend left her all alone to fend for herself. She was soon found by the kingdoms soldiers. After seeing her bright blue eyes that looked just like the previous princess's, they decide to take her in and replace her as the new princess Alisha, Priestess of the stars.

Nina the Starry Bride was very painful to watch. I think Nina's personality annoys me. The beginning was fun to watch. I think it could have been good if she had stayed in Fortna and trained to become the new princess. Instead they send her off to another country to get married to a prince who kills people for fun. I know it's in the title that she becomes a bride, but they could have made her personality and attitude a bit more mature. I suppose a number of things ticked me off about the anime, but I finally managed to finish it. The entire anime was clean. There was no swearing and no fan service at all. I wouldn't suggest this one because I didn't like it, but if it sounds interesting, you can give it a try. 

BOKUBEN: We Never Learn OVAs

While Nariyuki, Fumino, Rizu, and Uruka are all studying in a cafe. the manager of the massage shop passes by. She tells the group that she has passed her previous store to someone else and is now opening up a bridal shop. But before she can do that she is holding a bridal fair so she can take pictures for advertising. She then invites the group to come and check it out. Right as she says that Asumi pops up and says it sounds interesting and is promptly invited as well. But before they attend Rizu wants to know the reason people get married, so she asks Sawako Sekijo for help. But when she tells Sawako that she wants to talk about marriage, Sawako mistakes it as a proposal.

Bokuben: We Never Learn OVA's were really fun to watch. It kind of reminded me of the OVA from Date A Live where Kurumi and Shido go to a bridal shop and get their picture taken. However, the group didn't need to tell a sob story to get in. If you enjoyed the main series I would suggest giving the OVA's a try as well.

BOKUBEN: We Never Learn! Season 2

Nariyuki, Fumino, Uruka, and Rizu all have cram school now that summer has arrived. After taking classes, they all do self study. Though Nariyuki has been doing his best to teach them Rizu gets depressed after getting a low score on the most recent test. A misunderstanding occurs when Rizu tells Fumino, Uruka, and Asumi that she got an E. The misunderstanding only deepens when Nariyuki tries to cheer up Rizu. Will he be able to find a way to get her grade back up and meet the requirement to get into college?

Bokuben: We Never Learn Season 2 was just as enjoyable as season 1. The anime focusing on school rather than activities outside of it really sets it apart from other high school romance anime for me. Every episode was enjoyable, and each of the characters are fun to watch. There is some fan service like a hot springs episode, and multiple bath scenes. If you enjoy romance anime I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

Shomin Sample Specials

Miyuki Kujou answers questions sent in by viewers, animators, and characters within the show. Karen, Aika, Hakua, Reiko, and kimito all try and climb up a hill nearby. Kimito introduces the group to things they haven't heard of like yakitori and Jenga. 

The Shomin Sample Specials were pretty interesting. Shomin Sample is one of those animes that I forget about, but when I see clips I come to enjoy it more and more. The fan service was kept pretty light for the specials. You do see Miyuki Kujou in a swimsuit, as well as glimpses of the girls panties as they run, but if you aren't paying close attention you might not even notice it. All in all it was pretty fun to watch, but if you haven't seen the main series you may not get some of the jokes that are told. If you enjoyed the main series I suggest giving the special episodes a try.

Castle Town Dandelion

The Sakurada family seems like a normal family on the outside. They go to school in public, participate in sports with everybody, and have their own hobbies just like everyone else. However, they all happen to be royalty, and each one has their own superpower. Rather than choosing a successor to inherit the crown, the current king has decided that the public should decide by voting. Now everyone has to campaign for their spot on the throne as well as find their own reason for being willing to rule the country.

Castle Town Dandelion was actually a lot better than I was expecting. I really liked how every episode focused on a different sibling. You get to know each of the nine characters pretty well as well as their motivations for ruling the country. Their is a beach episode, but besides that everybody dresses modestly. If you are looking for a unique slice of life anime I would highly suggest this one.
