The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom

 

Tiararose Lapis Clemantille is the Fiancée to Prince Hartknights, However, after meeting another girl named Akari he disolves their engagement. Right as Tiara is about to cry, Prince Aquasteed Marinford proposes to Tiara. However, Akari tries to convince Prince Aqua that Tiara isn't the type of person he believes she is. As she goes to grab him, Aqua has guards take her away. With that resolved Tiara accepts Prince Aqua's Proposal and heads off for the kingdom of Marinford. But will everything go well now that she's left her home kingdom?

The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom was a nice romance. It had a similar feel to other fantasy/romance's such as 7th Time Loop, The Too-Perfect Saint, and Pass the Monster Meat, Milady. I really enjoyed Akari's character. While she started out hostile, she becomes a true friend to Tiara. The anime is free of any lewd scenes, and the language is clean as well. I would definitely recommend it if you are a fan of other villainess type anime or fantasy/romance in general.

ROLL OVER AND DIE: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword!

Flum Apricot was originally from a rural village before getting chosen to join the hero's party. However, all her stats were zero's and her only power is reversal, which she has no idea how to use. One day a party member named Jean sells Flum into Slavery. She wakes up inside a jail cell with multiple other slaves like her. The Slave trader who bought them says that he's going to kill them all due to them being worthless. He releases monsters into the jail cell as well as a sword that melts whoever it touches. With Flum choose to be eaten alive or melt into nothing? 

I'm not going to lie, ROLL OVER AND DIE was really hard for me to watch. It was a cool dark fantasy at first, but then it turned into a yuri anime. It kind of reminded me of how The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady was really good until the two girls randomly became a couple. Thanks to skipping the romance parts and speeding up the video I was able to finish it. I think it could have been a really awesome anime if the two main girls didn't start acting all lovey dovey. There is swearing in the anime. There is also a bath scene but all the characters dress modestly. There is a lot of dark themes like torture, kidnapping, and holding innocent people hostage. I wouldn't suggest it unless you are a fan of yuri anime and fantasy anime.

'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess Season 2

The torture continues in this new season. The princess loses her memory due to a spell. In hopes of bringing back her memories, Torture Tortura reenacts the first torture that she ever did for the princess. Thanks to that the princess was able to remember everything. All the members of the Torture department decides to have a basketball game, however, nobody really knows the rules. Thanks to one an announcement for a Season 2 of The Hell Lorde's favorite anime, The Hell Lord decides to give everyone a free cake. Torture turns it into a Torture session by putting candles on the cake and won't let the princess blow them out unless she reveals an imperial secret.

Tis Time for "Torture," Princess Season 2 was way better than Season 1 in my opinion. I laughed a ton and a lot of the scenes felt pretty relatable to my own life. The appearance of the new character Sakura gave me a lot of anticipation for each new episode. That was something else that I didn't feel in season 1. There is a Hot Springs Scene, but id didn't feel that lewd to me. If you enjoyed Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try. 

You and I Are Polar Opposites

Miyu Suzuki has a crush on Yuusuke Tani. Nobody suspected it since she's the type of person who seems to be friends with everybody. Tani happens to be the complete opposite and is quiet and typically keeps to himself unless he needs to talk with others. One day Miyu asks to walk home with Yuusuke. The next day she learns that someone saw her walking home. She denies having any special feelings when she is asked, but after Yuusuke leaves, she tells her class about the love she has for Yuusuke. She then runs out and confesses to him on a bridge. Thus begins the love story between two people who are Polar Opposites, but both love each other enough that none of that matters.

You and I Are Polar Opposites was super amazing. I had grown tired of Romance anime where the characters never seem to become a couple. So when Miyu and Yuusuke became a couple in the first episode it felt super refreshing. I also love the characters personalities. The romance between Nisshi and Yamada was especially adorable to watch. There is a hot springs scene, but you just see the girls shoulders, so it doesn't feel all that lewd. The language stays clean, which was nice. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch.

Tamon's B-Side

Utage Kinoshita is a regular girl in high school. What she loves more than anything else is the Idol group F/ACE. Her favorite singer is Tamon Fukuhara. One day while she is doing her job as a house keeper she gets invited to Tamon's apartment. While in concert Tamon has a "sexy and wild" persona, but it turns out that in private Tamon is an introvert with no self confidence. So while she cleans the house and takes care of Tamon's health, Utage also becomes a close friend who is able to lift Tamon's spirits so that he can do his best while he is working as an idol. 

Tamon's B-Side was a fun anime. I really enjoyed the balance of Utage's high school life and her personal life. It kind of reminded me a bit of D4DJ First Mix as well as Oshi No Ko. I don't typically watch Idol anime, but this is one of the best i've seen. The anime does a great job at pacing in a way that you can learn about each member of F/ACE and feel a connection with the characters. I even teared up a little bit during Natsuki Ishibashi's Arc. There are no lewd scenes in the anime, and the language is clean. I would definitely suggest it if you are looking for a romance that feels different from your typical high school romance.

You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!

Yonosuke Sakai also known as Eiyu loves romance manga. However, his favorite type of romances are childhood friend romances.  Eiyu has four childhood friends. Two of them are in the same high school named Shio and Akari. Eiyu believes that it is impossible to be in a romcom with his childhood friends, however, both Shio and Akari have a huge crush on Eiyu. Will things be able to work out?

I really enjoyed You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends. It started out really cute and funny. Though as more girls started to get added I didn't enjoy it as much. I think love triangles are preferable to Harems. While I was hoping Shio and Eiyu would become a couple at first, I began to hope that Runako and Eiyu would become a couple as the season went on. There is some fan service throughout the anime, though it's mostly in the beginning. There is a bath scene, a shower scene, a beach episode, as well as some panty shots here and there. If you enjoy romance anime, I think this one is worth giving a try. 

An Adventurer’s Daily Grind at Age 29

Hajime Shinonome has been adventuring in a rural village for some time now. One day while going into the dungeon he comes across a girl who is stuck inside a slime. When he pulls her out he learns her name is Rirui and that her parents abandoned her. After trying to find her a place for Rirui to stay, Hajime eventually ends up letting her live with him, while he teaches her the basics of adventuring.

An Adventurer's Daily Grind at Age 29 was a fun anime to watch. I always enjoy the adventurer takes in a child trope that you see in anime's like If It's For My Daugher, I'll Even Defeat a Demon Lord and Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring. While there is some swearing, the characters dress modestly, and there is no unnecessary lewd scenes. I would definitely suggest giving it a try, if you enjoy fantasy anime that focus on adventuring.

The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer

In this world it is legal to torture people, and it has become a well known industry. The torture firm Spirytus consists of Sero and Siu who handle the torturing, and Noe and Hera who handle the administrative side of the company. They are always looking for new employees, and eventually they come across Mike and Hugh. Slowly the reputation and success of Spirytus begins to grow, and the company becomes a fun place to work.

The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer sounds like it will be a gruesome anime. However, the actual torturing isn't really shown. The anime focuses more on the employees and how they spend their time both at work and outside of work. It's a pretty fun anime to watch if you are looking for a slice of life anime with a unique setting. There is no fan service, and the language is clean as well. I would definitely suggest giving it a try. 

Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None

Lately the popularity of Enchanters has been through the roof in the adventuring industry. This was made famous by a girl named Selma Claudel. When the importance was made known, Orhun Dura became the Enchanter of his party and brought them all the way to level 94 of the dungeon. They became known as the Hero's Party for this act. Unfortunately Orhun's party didn't think that he was talented enough to be an enchanter, so they banished him and brought on a new enchanter. After that Orhun made a goal to defeat all 100 levels of the dungeon by himself. However, does he have what it takes?

Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None feels similar to your generic banished from the hero's party trope anime. So if you've seen Beast Tamer, The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest, or I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths, you can imagine what to expect. I will say that it was still fun to watch, because I happen to enjoy fantasy anime that have the banished from the hero's party trope in it. There are a few bath scenes, but the characters bodies are completely whited out, so I don't really see this as an ecchi anime. I would definitely suggest it if you enjoy fantasy anime that focuses on dungeon delving and adventuring.

The Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind!!

Doux is the Daughter of Demon King Ahriman. Ahriman was previously focused on world domination, but his advances stopped after he started spending time with Doux. Unfortunately Doux does not possess a single evil desire, in fact she helps whoever she meets whether they be human, Demon, Magical beast, or Angels. Many people see the Demons as enemies. Will Doux be able to change relationships between races as she trains to become the next Demon King?

The Demon KIng's Daughter is Too Kind!! was actually a lot better than I was expecting. It had a similar feel to fluffy paradise and Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring. There is no swearing, and all the characters dress modestly. If you like relaxing fantasy anime with little to no fighting, I would suggest giving it a try. 

Cosplay Complex

East Oizumi High School's Cosplay Club wants to enter a cosplay competition. However, they don't have enough members. So in order to advertise themselves, while also gaining some money for the club, they put on a cosplay competition at the school's Gymnasium. While they receive a new member, will they have what it takes to compete with the other school's Cosplay Clubs?

Cosplay Complex was a little hard to watch. I think they tried to fit in too much story when they only had three episodes to work with. It's possible that because it was made in the early 2000's that I don't like it. Since the anime is all about Cosplay, it goes with out saying that there is quite a bit of Ecchi content. There' a beach scene, a hot springs scene, a shower scene, and plenty of moments of girls undressing to get into their separate cosplay costumes. I would suggest skipping this one, unless you enjoy other anime from the same time period such as Hanaukyo Maid Team and Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan.

Weathering With You

Its been raining for months without ending in Tokyo. Hodaka Morishima who has just run away from home has trouble looking for a job, since he has no identification. Luckily he met a man on the boat to Tokyo who gave him his card. He stays there for awhile helping to clean the house and write articles about folktales he hears from different people. One day he learns about something called a sunshine girl who can control the weather. Not many people seem to believe the rumors. However, after saving a girl who is being taken into a shady establishment, he finds out she happens to be a real sunshine girl.

Weathering With You was not as great as I was expecting. I feel like Weathering With You is talked about like it's one of the greatest anime movies ever by people who have seen it. It is because of this that I had my expectations set too high. I will say that the ending had an incredible impact on me in the same way that Your Name did. But, there were parts throughout the movie that just felt slow to me.  I definitely think it's worth watching, especially if you enjoy other anime by Makoto Shinkai. 

Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon

Kafka Hibino has always dreamed of being in the Japanese Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. But despite multiple tries, he always seemed to fail. It isn't until he meets Reno Ichikawa that he decides to give the test one last try. Thanks to the vice captain who oversaw the test, Kafka was able to make it into the force as a cadet. But unfortunately Kafka has a secret that would turn his life upside down. Just before Kafka takes the test to become an officer is attacked by a kaiju, which turns him into one of the most powerful kaiju in history. Will Kafka be able to keep his powers a secret while working to become a leader who fights the kaiju attacking japan?

Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon is basically a recap of Kaiju No. 8 Season 1. While a lot was cut out to make it into the length of a movie, they still included the important parts of the story. If you want to know about Kaiju no. 8 but don't want to spend almost five hours watching the first season, I would suggest giving the movie a try. While there is a bath scene it's of the guys, so it doesn't really feel like fan service to me. Everybody dresses modestly, which is a plus. Because they cut off a lot of the story, the fighting is more prominent. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Actually, I Am

Asahi Kuromine is a boy who is known for never keeping secrets. Everyone calls him a "Leaky Basket" because the truth flows right out of him.  For a long time he has had a crush on his classmate Youko Shiragami. When he finally gets the courage to confess his feelings to her, he learns that she's actually a vampire. Youko tells Asahi that if her secret gets out she would have to leave school. So Asahi promises to keep her secret and asks her to be friends.

I really enjoyed watching Actually, I Am. While they don't become a couple due to Asahi's slip of the tongue, it's a great school life anime. It has a similar feel to Rosario + Vampire with all the different monsters going to school together. The design of the devil though, reminded me of To Love Ru. I was half expecting her to claim to be from deviluke. While I said it reminded me of To Love Ru and Rosario + Vampire, it has almost no fan service at all. There is a bath scene and a pool scene though. Overall, I would definitely suggest giving it a watch.  

When Will Ayumu Make His Move?

Ayumu Tanaka is in the Shogi club with his senpai Urushi Yaotome. He fell for her the first time he saw her. Ayumu then made a promise that he would confess his feelings when he is able to beat her in a game of Shogi. Unfortunately, Ayumu is terrible at Shogi. He studies using books that Urushi has recommended to him, but his progress is slow. Despite this internal promise he has no issues displaying his feelings outwardly. Will Ayumu ever get a chance to confess his love?

When Will Ayumu Make His Move? was actually a really good romance anime. I really enjoyed the laid back feeling it has. Despite them never actually becoming a couple, Ayumu and Urushi actually make a lot of romantic progress. I actually read some of the manga prior to watching it, so I knew what to expect. This was probably part of why I enjoyed it. The anime has almost no fan service in it. It does have a short bath scene at the end of the season though. I would still highly recommend it if you are looking for a new romance anime to watch.
