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.
