GOBLIN SLAYER -GOBLIN’S CROWN-

Goblin Slayer and his party receive a request to find a young girl who comes from a family of nobles. Typically they wouldn't ask him, but the last quest she took was to slay some goblins and they fear that something might have happened to her. So Goblin Slayer along with the priestess, the High Elf Archer, the Dwarf Shamen, and the Lizardman Priest set out on another goblin slaying adventure.

GOBLIN SLAYER -GOBLIN'S CROWN- was captivating to watch, since it has a different feel from most adventuring anime. The first 25 minutes of the movie is just a recap of season 1. This was helpful for me since it has been over two years since I saw Goblin Slayer Season 1. However, if you remember what happens or have watched it recently, you can skip over that part. There is some nudity along with a hot spring scene. The language isn't clean either. Goblin Slayer is a dark fantasy anime, so if you don't like that you can feel free to skip it. Overall, I enjoyed it. It was nice to watch a fantasy anime that doesn't feel the same as all the rest.  

The Seven Heavenly Virtues

The Seven Heavenly Virtues have come down to earth to search for a messiah. Sandalphon, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, Sariel, Metatron, and Michael each find someone to train. While their goal is to prepare for the upcoming war, both the angels and the messiah canditates tend to get distracted. Some messiah canditates, deal with exams, some with sicknesses, and others with work. Will the Seven Heavenly Virtures find the human they need to conquer the Seven Mortal Sins?

The Seven Heavenly Virtues takes place in the same universe that The Seven Mortal Sins does. The Sin of Sloth Belphegor even makes an appearance. Though I wouldn't say you need to watch The Seven Mortal Sins to be able to watch this. The Seven Heavenly Virtues isn't a continuation of The Seven Mortal Sins. I will say that the majority of the anime is Ecchi content. So if you don't like fan service you can skip this series. However, if you don't mind watching Ecchi anime, I found myself laughing pretty hard during the show.

Kaiju No.8: Hoshina's Day Off

The Majority of the 3rd Division has the day off. After realizing that he doesn't actually know how to spend a day off, Reno is approached by vice captain Hoshina. Hoshina tells Reno that he is busy, but on the next day off he'll show him how to spend your day off right. After Hoshina leaves, Reno is approached by Iharu Furuhashi who becomes curious about what the vice captain could be doing, but assumes he's meeting with a lady. Reno doesn't believe that, so they make a bet and follow him throughout the day to see what he's doing. Will they be able to stay hidden, or will Vice Captain Hoshina catch them before the bet is settled?

Kaiju No. 8: Hoshina's Day Off was pretty fun to watch. While its not important to the story, I enjoyed learing more about what type of people the 3rd Division are like personally by seeing how each one spends their free time. The language was clean and there was no fan service. If you enjoyed Season 1, I would suggest giving Hoshina's Day Off a Watch. 

Kaiju No. 8

Kafka Hibino was affected by a Kaiju attack as a child. After losing people close to him, he made a promise with his childhood friend that they would both join Japan's Kaiju Defense Force when they grew up. However, he applied over a decade and failed every single year. Now he spends his time on the cleanup crew that disposes of the Kaiju's corpses after the Defense Force has killed them. He had nearly given up on his dream until a new recruit to the cleanup team tells him that they are changing the application age for the defense force to 33. Now that he has another chance, will everything go his way?

Kaiju No. 8 was better than I was expecting. I tried to watch it awhile ago but stopped before the first episode even ended. I really liked it this time around though. The action scenes are fun to watch, and the story is entertaining as well. There is no fan service, and the language is kept clean. If you like action anime, I would suggest giving this one a try.  

Monster Girl Doctor

Glenn Litbeit is a human doctor who specializes in treating monsters. He has another doctor he works with named Saphentite Neikes who is a Lamia. Together they help improve the health of numerous species including Harpys, Giants, Mermaids, Centaurs, and even Dragons. While he is still a novice doctor, Glenn desires to help everyone he can. but with so many unique races and ailments will he be able to help them all?

Monster Girl Doctor was an interesting anime to watch. Since it's a medical anime it did kind of remind me of Parallel World Pharmacy and Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp. It does have fan service including a bath scene and a Hot Springs scene. However most of the fan service happens during the examinations that Doctor Glenn does. If you don't mind ecchi anime and enjoy medical anime, I would suggest giving it a try.

One-Punch Man Season 3

After the last battle Goro was able to escape. Even though Centichoro was able to go down, the monster association continues to be a real threat. The Hero Association plans to put together a task force of S-Class Hunters to recover the child that was kidnapped. Meanwhile King, Genos, Hellish Blizzard, Sliverfang, and Bomb are recuperating at Saitama's apartment in City Z where the monster association is hiding. Will they all be able to make it out alive, or will the monsters be too much to handle?

One Punch Man Season 3 got a lot of hate from fans, and I don't think it deserves the level of hate that it got. One Punch Man Season 3 has the exact same feel as the other seasons. The Animationis the same, the art style is the same, the voice actors are the same, the story is the same, etc. The only fault I find with it is that Saitama wasn't shown for like half of the season. While it was cool to see some of the other S-Class Heroes Fight, I was really hoping Saitama would have had more screen time. There's no fan service and the language is clean. If you enjoyed the first two seasons of one punch man, then you'll most likely enjoy the third as well.

Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?

Yuu Natsume loves making accessories using flowers. One day in middle school he tried selling some of them, but no one would buy them. That's when he met Himari Inuzuka. She helped him sell all 100 accessories that he had made. From that point on they decided to be best friends. They even made a dream to one day create a store and work together as adults. However, the more time they spent together the more they wondered if best friends was really what they wanted to be.

Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? Was frustrating to watch. While the title makes it appear to be about friendship, It is made undeniably clear from episode 1 that they both have romantic feelings for each other. Himari even tells Yuu that they should get married. Because you are made aware that both have feelings for each other, you really want them to get together. But, whenever a romantic opportunity comes around Himari pretends like she's teasing you instead of being true to herself. She says she wants to be more than friends, but her mixed signals make it impossible for there to be any romantic progression. I will admit that it's my fault for expecting this to be a cute romance anime, even though the title is called Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? Anyway, the anime is wholesome. There is no fan service and little to no swearing. I think it could be fun to watch if you don't go in expecting it to be like other Rom-com's out there. I will say that the last few episodes made up for the rest of the season in my opinion.

She and Her Cat -Everything Flows-

Daru is a black cat who lives with Miyu. When her best friend suddenly moves, Miyu has to look for a job so that she can continue to live alone. While Daru might not be able to understand the things that Miyu says, he can understand how she feels. So Daru does his best to be there for Miyu while she deals with a number of situations that  come up.

She and her Cat -Everything Flows- was nice to watch. I originally watched this because it was created by Makoto Shinkai who made Your Name and Suzume. However, She and Her Cat has a different feel from his movies. Its both calming and relatable. I think that if I watched it around two years ago when I discovered it, it wouldn't have felt as meaningful as it did right now. There is no fan service and the language is clean. If you enjoy other anime made by Makoto Shinkai, I would suggest giving it a watch.

Takamiya Nasuno Desu!

Over Summer Vacation Nasuno Takamiya asks Yuri's brother Yota to work as her butler. After accepting she shows him around her mansion and has him complete various tasks for her. He helps clean the library, find restaurants, and attends to her needs wherever she spontaneously decides to travel to.

Takamiya Nasuno Desu! was fun to watch. As you might have guessed it's another Teekyu Spinoff like Usakame. However, this has Nasuno as  the main character. I was happy about this because I feel like when I watched Teekyu nothing was revealed about Nasuno's Private life, whereas there were plenty of scenes in Teekyu that focused on what Yuri, Marimo, and Kanae did away from school. The anime is mostly clean, though there are a few scenes where characters wear swimsuits. If you enjoyed Teekyu and Usakame, I would definitely suggest giving Takamiya Nasuno Desu! a try as well. 

The Girl from the Other Side Part 2

A Girl wakes up all alone in the forest. Soon after she comes face to face with an outsider. Stunned by her beauty he decides to look after her. After talking to each other, he learns that her name is Shiva, and she calls him Teacher upon finding that he had no name. Knowing that there are many who would curse Shiva, he takes her to a house he often frequents that has long been abandoned. Together they read books, play hide and seek, and have tea together. While Outsiders are typically feared by Insiders neither one feels fear toward the other. However, how long will a peaceful life like that last?

The Girl From the Other Side is a movie length ova that was split into 3 episodes on Crunchyroll. While it has a similar feel to the ten minute silent episode, there is so much more to the story in this one. The world and the story are expanded a lot more. The Girl From the Other Side has the most beautiful music Ive heard in anime. Previously I thought that Komi Can't Communicate had the best background music, but this beats it by a long shot. There is no fan service, and the language is kept clean. If you have Crunchyroll I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Dekin no Mogura: The Earthbound Mole

After a talk with their school mates, Yaeko Kirihara and Kuriaki Magi see a man get hit by a thick book that had dropped from a nearby building and broke his head open. Despite that the man claims that he doesn't need medical attention and runs off. They follow him to where he lives and he tells them that his name is Mogura and they should contact him if they see any ghosts. The next day both Yaeka and Kuriaki start seeing ghosts. Who is Mogura? What does he do? Where is he from? These types of questions are at the forefront of Kuriaki's mind, but he's afraid of what will happen if he asks them.

Dekin No Mogura: The Earthbound Mole was completely different from what I was imagining. I totally though this would be about a guy who could transform into a mole from the title. Anyway, the story was interesting and I had no trouble binging it. I don't watch paranormal type anime a lot, so its always fun when I stumble across one and enjoy it. There is no fan service and the language is kept clean. I would suggest giving it a try if you enjoy supernatural type anime.

Hanaukyo Maid Team

After his mother passed away Taro Hanaukyo receives a message from his grandfather. He learns that he is going to receive his grandfathers fortune as well as live in a mansion with maids who are willing to do whatever he asks. While Taro may have just been given a luxurious life, There isn't anything extraordinary about him. However, his maids are willing to make others believe that Taro is special, whatever the costs.

Hanaukyo Maid Team was definitely interesting to watch. It reminded me of a lot of other anime's Ive Seen. Taro's allergy to women reminded me of Girls Bravo. His personality reminded me of Yuuki Rito from To Love Ru. The Teacher reminded me of the Teacher from Dears. The animation style reminded me of Rizelmine. While there was a lot of similarities to other anime made in this time period I didn't enjoy it as much as the ones I mentioned. There is a lot of fan service throughout the anime. There is a beach scene, a hot springs scene, and numerous bath scenes. While the anime wasn't my favorite, you may enjoy it if you give it a try. If you don't like Ecchi anime, you can feel free to skip this one.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War -Stairway to Adulthood-

The Student Council of Shuuchin Academy is back. Chika Fujiwara wants to play a prank on Kaguya for her birthday. She suggests that Miyuki pretend to be her boyfriend. But seeing as how He and Kaguya just started dating he turns down the idea. She then proceeds to suggest the same thing but with Yuu Ishigami. The mood completely changes when she tells Miko that her and Ishigami are dating. Later Miyuki and Kaguya have their first voice call which ends up going till five in the morning, leaving both of them sleep deprived.

The specials for Kaguya-sama were pretty fun to watch. The title makes it sound like an ecchi anime, but the only questionable thing that happens is some kissing between Miyuki and Kaguya. There is a shower scene but all you see is Kaguya's silhouette. You do see Miyuki Shirogane shirtless in the bath for a second, but its pretty forgettable. Overall it was fun and made me want to rewatch the series. I would definitely suggest it if you enjoyed the seasons and movie that came before these specials.  

The Way of the Househusband Season 2

Tatsu the Immortal Dragon is Back. This Time he is helping out gather fees for the association. While he only asks for 500 Yen, his appearance makes him look like he's there to rob them. He also meets with a gathering of Housewives known as the eight dragons. They let him know that there are other areas of being a househusband that he is unaware of. So he begins taking classes from one of them to improve his skills.

The Way of the Househusband Season 2 was pretty funny. There is a scene where you see characters in a sauna, but besides that there isn't anything that would be considered fan service. There is a lot of swearing though. I would suggest giving it a try if you enjoyed the first season.

My Awkward Senpai

Azusa Kannawa is an introvert who excels at her job. She has spent time establishing herself as the person who refuses to go to work parties. That all changes when the department chief for public affairs asks her to train a new recruit. She is tasked with helping Yu Kamegawa as he gets to know the job. Could their Junior/Senior relationship turn into something more?

I felt a lot of things as I watched My Awkard Senpai. It did feel cringy at parts, but the story was good for an office romance. It was interesting enough to keep me from dropping it. There is a beach episode, as well as a hot springs scene. However, I would still claim its a wholesome anime. If you enjoy Office Romance, I would suggest giving it a try.

TASOKARE HOTEL

A girl wakes up in a barren wasteland. Up ahead is a hotel with nothing surrounding it, save for a few rocky formations. She walks in and is greeted by a man with a flame for a head. He tells her that she has arrived at Tasokare Hotel. A place that exists between the living world and the afterlife. People stay here until they remember who they are and whether they are dead or alive. She is then shown to her room, by a man named Atori. He helps her find things in her room that allow her to remember who she is. Her name is Neko Tsukuhara. After seeing the hotel she decides to work there. Will she be able to find herself, while helping others do the same?

TASOKARE HOTEL is one of the most wild anime's I have ever watched. despite only taking place in a single location, the world building is amazing. I also thoroughly enjoyed watching different characters personal stories unfold. The anime is free of fan service. There is a beach episode, but no swimsuits. It does have adult topics like murder. Though I think it is totally worth the watch.
