Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk

It's Botan Kamiina's first year at college. As she goes to meet the girls living in the same dorm as her, she notices that the resident assistant is missing. So, she tells Kanade Gujo, Yaeka Kitamori, and Akane Yusa that she is going to find her. Botan goes to a small area where a lot of stalls are set up. She finds Ibuki Tonami, the RA for the dorm, sitting on a bench and drinking alcohol. Ibuki never lets anyone see her drinking, but when Botan says that she'd like to give the drink a try, Ibuki hands her the cup. After Botan tries the drink, Ibuki learns that Botan and she aren't so different, and maybe it would be nice to drink together again.

Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk was an interesting anime. One of the cool things about this anime is that the art style changes in every episode. I read that the studio had different teams of artists work on each episode, which is why it came out the way it did. The scenery looks absolutely amazing throughout the show. It kind of gave me Encouragement of Climb vibes. There are some yuri aspects to the show, which made it hard to watch at times, but they didn't get overly close, which made it seem more like a normal slice-of-life anime. There are hot spring scenes throughout it, but they didn't feel particularly lewd. The story isn't so fascinating that I felt like I could binge it, but it has a nice, relaxing feel to it. I would say this is a good anime to watch when you are taking a break from anime that are super action-oriented. While this wasn't my favorite, I still think that it's worth watching.

Kaya-chan Isn't Scary

Kaya Sato attends a kindergarten where mysterious events seem to happen. Recently, kids have been falling off the swings and getting hurt. The teachers assume it's because the kids are careless, but Kaya knows the truth. Invisible monsters haunt the playground and wait to push kids off the swing set. Kaya tries to prevent it from happening, but she is labeled a problem child for blocking off the swings. As she is pulled away by a teacher, a boy hops on the swing and is pushed over and over until he is so high that falling would inevitably result in serious injury. Luckily, Kaya steps in and defeats the ghosts with one punch. This is because Kaya is the world's strongest psychic.However, the ghosts don't just appear on the playground—they are appearing all over the city. Will Kaya be able to save those close to her, or will the fear of the unknown drive her away?

Kaya-chan Isn’t Scary was great. It kind of reminded me of Mieruko-chan as well as My Clueless First Friend. While I don’t typically watch horror anime, the art in the picture, as well as the title, made me want to give it a try. The anime has a good balance between horror and slice of life. The horror aspect isn’t overwhelming, and the story properly explains why things are happening while still maintaining a relaxing vibe throughout the anime. There aren’t any lewd scenes or swearing. If you don’t mind the horror genre, I would suggest giving it a try.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya!

Iroha Sakayori is the perfect honor student. She excels at everything she puts her mind to. However, in order to pay for her house and save money for college, she works extremely hard, leaving her with hardly any time to focus on her hobbies. Her few sources of enjoyment are playing virtual reality games and listening to the virtual idol Yachiyo sing.

One day, after finishing work, Iroha sees a shooting star. She makes a wish for more money and then heads home. When she arrives on the street where her house is located, she sees a streetlamp glowing. As she approaches it, two bamboo handles appear, and when it opens, Iroha sees a baby. Afraid of leaving it on the street, she takes it home with her.

Over the course of a weekend, the baby, Kaguya, grows into a teenager. Iroha introduces Kaguya to the world of VR, and they play her favorite game, Tsukiyome. After seeing the virtual idol Yachiyo, Kaguya decides to become a streamer herself. She becomes popular by singing the songs that Iroha writes. However, her newfound popularity may be just a fleeting dream. Not only does she draw the eyes of many fans, but also those who seek to take away the freedom that Kaguya longs to have. Will Iroha have the power to save her new friend?

Cosmic Princess Kaguya was a complete surprise to me. I had read a brief summary of the story of the bamboo cutter a day or two ago, so I understood the story that inspired the movie. I also knew that it took place in the virtual world and included music from posts and summaries I had read online prior to watching it. However, the movie gives the old story a modern take in a way that I wouldn't have predicted. It feels kind of like Seven Senses of the Reunion and Shangri-La Frontier. However, that's only in terms of the fighting style and digital-world aspect. The story is completely different from those two anime in every way.

After an hour and twenty minutes of watching, I was convinced the movie was over based on the events that had played out. But I paused it, only to find out that there was still over an hour left of the movie. It was really good, but it was a bit longer than I was expecting.The entire thing was wholesome. There were no lewd scenes or swearing. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you enjoy music anime and virtual reality anime.

The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King

Serafina de Lavillant has trained her whole life to become the perfect knight. After being made knight captain of the first order she goes on an expedition to subdue the barbarians who live to the east of the kingdom of Illdoren. While she is in battle, she gets overpowered by a man and is taken captive. She wakes up and is greeted by a young woman named Cersei who helps make her presentable. Then the man who bested Serafina in battle comes in and proposes to her. While Serfina is hesitant to accept right away, will seeing the barbarians way of life change her mind and heart?

The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King was really good. It felt different from a lot of romance anime that take place in fantasy settings. I feel like a lot of fantasy romance follow the same formula of the girl getting dumped by a prince and then she finds a better man who treats her right. I actually enjoy that type of romance, so its not a big deal if its repeated for me. However, it was nice to see a romance that doesn't follow the usual formula and is more about getting to know each other while finding out what happiness means for yourself, rather than getting married for politcal reasons, which is how the formula anime usual go. It did have a lot more nudity than I was expecting. While the anime is censored to a degree, it was a little too much for me. There were a lot of bathing in rivers or hot spring scenes, which i don't believe all needed to be there. If lewd scenes here and there don't bother you I think The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King is worth giving a try.

Killed again, Mr. Detective.

Sakuya Outsuki is the son of the world famous detective Tatsuya Outsuki. However, while Sakuya is a detective, he isn't acknowledged as a good one by criminals, police officers, and detectives alike. The only person who is willing to stay by his side is his assistant Lilithea. One day he gets put on a case trying to uncover if a famous producer is cheating. He gets a ticket to a cruise liner where the producer is staying. It is there that he meets an actress named Yuriu Haigamine who is preparing for a role as a detective in movie. She asks to be Sakuya's apprentice after finding out that he is a detective himself. She then asks for his help looking for a lost cat that belongs to the producer that Sakuya is investigating. As he searches, he finds his way into a storage room where he is killed after finding a dead body. He then wakes up in the lap of his assistant Lilithea, ready to put his all into finding the murderer.

I originally started this because I heard that it had the same vibe as Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions. It is similar, in the sense that it's the complete opposite of Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions. Instead of having a power to make the murderer kill themselves, Sakuya is the one always getting killed. There is an arc that takes place at a hotel, which kind of reminded me of the hot spring inn case in Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions as well. Overall I was a bit disappointed because I had my expectations set to high. It also felt a bit slower to me, meaning it lacked the sense of anticipation of finding out what happens next. While people typically dress modestly throughout the anime, there is a scene at the beginning of episode four where you see Lilithea in her underwear. If you decide to watch it and you don't like fan service, I would suggest skipping the first few minutes of episode four. While it wasn't for me, it might be just the thing for you if you enjoy mystery anime.

Squid Girl Specials

 

After watching Eiko leave the house mini Squid girl goes back to her bed. However, she finds that a second Squid Girl dressed in black with a black squid hat has stolen her spot in it. In order to take back her property they fight using weapons like colored pencils, rubber bands, and toy trucks. After the Squid Girl dressed in black falls out the window, Squid girl saves her using her tentacles. They make up by eating shrimp chips together and wave good bye as the Squid Girl dressed in black goes back to the ocean.

It was cool to see the Squid Girl Specials because both of them were episodes about tiny squid girl. These only popped up about once per season, so I enjoyed the additonal content. While the last episode does have a beach scene, I would say that the episodes were pretty wholesome overall. If you enjoyed the main series, I would definitely suggest giving the specials a try.

Squid Girl OVA

one of the Three Stooges breaks their nintendo console after accidentally dropping it on the floor. So they decide to make a new console that won't break no matter how hard you throw it, along with games to play on it. They give their inventions to Squid Girl and Eiko to try out. Eiko gets Jealous of Chizuru and Squid Girl since Ayumi is able to talk to them easily. When Ayumi says the reason she can talk to them so easily is because they're not human, Chizuru tries everything in her power to be seen as a normal girl. Squid Girl plays hide and seek inside the house in hopes of surprising Eiko, Chizuru, and Takeru with her hiding skills. However, she is found by Takeru early on, who then joins in on her game of hide and seek. After seeing their shoes are still in the house Chizuru catches on to Squid Girl's plans, and is able to lure her out of hiding with food.

Squid Girl OVA was pretty fun to watch. Usually OVA's feel pretty removed from the main series, but these just felt like additional content to the story. Like the rest of the series most people are dressed in swimsuits since the setting is a restaurant at the beach. While usually it doesn't feel lewd because of the setting, the end of the third episode does feel a bit more fan service heavy than usual, even if it's only for a few minutes. If you enjoyed the rest of the show I would definitely suggest giving it a try as it keeps the same vibe as the main series.

Squid Girl Season 2

Squid girl is back at the Lemon. Squid Girl is working like usual when Eiko brings up that she hasn't accomplished anything in her quest to conquer humanity. This fires her up even more to do everything she can to conquer the surface world. Meanwhile Sanae sees Squid Girl hanging out with Kiyomi and believes that they are both rivals fighting for squid girls attention. One day Squid Girl is helping clean up the beach when she sees Goro taking jellyfish out of the ocean. She challenges him to see who can gather the most jellyfish. Chizuru overhears and turns it into a competition involving everyone at the beach with real prizes for the winners of the competition.

Squid Girl Season 2 was just as good as season 1. Since the entire anime takes place on the beach, there are characters in swimsuits in every episode. This might be considered as a lewd scene to some, but it seems unavoidable given the setting. If you enjoyed Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try as well.

My Hero Academia: I am a hero too

Eri goes to see Deku to congratulate him on his comeback as a hero, however, he isn't in the Teacher's Office at U.A. High. She is met by Eraser Head, Present Mic, and All Might. After letting her know that Deku has gone home, they turn on the TV which plays a news channel talking about how Deku has risen in the Hero Rankings and how his presence continues to be a positive influence on others. Before she leaves, the teachers mention that Deku will be at Eri's debut concert and that she can congratulate him then. The episode then shows the concert that Eri is performing with her band and the citizens and Heroes who are watching and listening.

My Hero Academia: I am a hero too was great. Even though this special was only 6 minutes long, it still was able to bring tears to my eyes as Eri sang. My Hero Academia is one of a few anime that holds a special place in my heart. I didn't mention this in my previous reviews, but when I finished My Hero Academia Season 8 I had the thought that I will never be able to view other anime the same way again. This special reminded me of how much My Hero Academia has impacted me the last two months. If you have finished all 8 seasons along with the My Hero Academia: More episode, I would definitely suggest giving this a try as well.  

Kusunoki's Garden of Gods

Minato Kusonoki has grown up surrounded by Yokai at the inn his parents run. Once his grandpa and grandma died he inherited their home which had previously been filled with Miasma from Evil spirits. However, as he walked into the house, his presence cleansed the evil and turned it into a place where gods can reside. His first resident is Yamagami who is the god of the mountain near Minato's house. Pretty soon more and more gods come to live in the garden, and with each new one Minato starts to see his life change in new ways.

Kusunoki's Garden of Gods was really good. It kind of reminded me of Campfire cooking in another world. The dynamic between Minato and Yamagami feels similar to Fel and Tsuyoshi Mukouda. Though I prefer these two because it feels like Minato complains a lot less than Mukouda. You also learn about a wide variety of desserts which is fun. My favorite part of the series is how they involved onmyoji and had Minato use his power to help them exorcise the evil spirits throughout the town. While there is a hot spring scene, it mainly involves animals so I wouldn't consider at as a lewd scene. If this sounds interesting to you, I would definitely recommend giving it a try.  

The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife

Akira Tonome and Shizuka Yako work together at Tonome Detective Agency. One day after Akira had finished his investigations, he asks Shizuka to go out to dinner with him. Things proceed to go back to normal the next day. However, Shizuka finds herself wanting to spend more time with Akira. So he starts walking her home, and bringing her to restaurants. They initially try to keep their work and dating life separate, but eventually stop trying to hide it when their coworkers tell them to act however they want around them.

The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife was better than I was expecting. I don't typically enjoy adult romance anime, but this one was fun. Unlike most adult romances that take place in an office, you actually get to see the investigations in a world filled with various species. It reminds me a little bit of The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague. Though I will say that the relationship moved a little too fast for me. It is mostly wholesome, however, there is a bath scene, as well as a hot spring scene. If that doesn't bother you, I would suggest giving it a try.

Noble Reincarnation: Born Blessed, So I'll Obtain Ultimate Power

 

Noah Ararat is the thirteenth imperial prince of the Meerus Empire. Shortly after his birth, Noah is given a fief in the city of Almeria due to his affinity for water magic. This is a tradition in the royal family as a way to teach each prince how to govern a nation. When Noah was six years old he receives a visit from the 2nd and 4th princes. The 2nd Prince brings him a sword that is known as the strongest in the land. Many have died trying to wield it, but Noah is able to handle it duee to his water stat being ranked SS. He soon hears from one of his maids that her village has been flooded and the land and people are in disarray. He buys the village in order to prevent any of the villagers from being scammed out of their property. He then visits and takes care of criminals who are exploiting the people by stealing their food. in order to pull this off Noah sold land that was gifted to him by the emperer. Selling it without permission is a crime. Will Noah be reprimanded for breaking the law, or will he be awarded for preventing a potentially chaotic situation?

Noble Reincarnation: Born Blessed, So I'll Obtain Ultimate Power was different than I thought it would be. I was expecting something similar to I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic. However, it focused a lot more on political power rather than magic power. If you enjoy anime like How a Realist Rebuilt the Kingdom and As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World, you will probably like this as well. The anime is mostly free of fan service, though there is a character who wears clothes that expose her stomach. Besides that everything stays pretty wholesome. If you are looking for a good fantasy anime to binge, I would definitely suggest this one.

My Hero Academia More

Lately, Uravity has been having dreams of Himiko Toga, and wonders if she's a vestige like One For All. She can tell that Himiko is trying to send her a message, but doesn't really know what it is. She lets Froppy know what's going on, but they can't find a definitive answer. Meanwhile Deku, Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, and Red Riot all drive to a gathering to celebrate Shoto Todoroki becoming the #2 Hero. They all talk about how their lives are going as they drive and Deku mentions that everyone is special to him. Bakugo gives him a piece of advice that is sure to change his life forever. He tells him that he should value himself more and if he doesn't he may miss something important. Also that if he keeps saying that everyone is special to him, that really means no one is. While Deku didn't understand in the car, it all clicks during Todoroki's celebration.

My Hero Academia More was definitely worth the watch. Another episode that makes me glad I didn't start this series until after everything was out. It was cool to see everyone all grown up. I didn't think that I would get to see that as I was watching Season 8. While I wish that the story would continue, I'm also satisfied with this ending.  There are no lewd scenes in this episode. I would suggest giving it a try if you enjoyed the previous eight seasons.

My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON (Season 8)

In an attempt to stall All For One from reaching Deku and Shigaraki, All Might uses a battlesuit to reverse his age by damaging him. However, All Might can only hold him off for so long. Eventually his equipment breaks, and he is left at the mercy of All For One. But, all hope isn't lost. So long as there are villains, there will always be heroes to intercept them. The only question is, will they make it in time before All Might is killed? 

My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON was super good. It picks up right where Season 7 left off. The ending was different from what I was led to believe, though I did predict Deku's future correctly. I am disappointed that the series is over, but I know this is definitely an anime I will be rewatching. There are no lewd scenes in this season. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you enjoyed the previous seasons of My Hero Academia.

My Hero Academia: You’re Next (Movie 4)

The Heroes of Class 1-A are traveling the streets searching for and capturing the criminals that All For One released from prison. While they chase after a man with a hostage, a man who bears a strong resemblance to All Might appears on a flying ship. After seeing All Might's final battle with All For One  he believes that he is the new symbol of peace when All Might pointed and said "Now, it's your turn." He then uses his quirk to swallow up citizens, heroes, and buildings which make the size of his ship grow exponentially bigger. He plans to use it to crush U. A. High School, and take away the current heroes so that a new society can begin, with him as the new #1 Hero. Meanwhile He uses the people inside of his ship that he absorbed as test subjects to gain even more power. Will Class 1-A be able to beat such an intimidating villain?

My Hero Academia: You're Next was super good. The final fight with Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki was amazing. However, My favorite movie is still Heroes Rising. This movie should be watched right after the Star and Stripe Arc, between Season 7 episode 2 & 3. There are multiple things that lead me to believe this takes place in the spare week that Star gave them. Like Principal Nezu saying that U.A needs to be used to fight Shigaraki, as well as the fact that nobody was injured yet. The Movie is free of any Lewd scenes. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch if you have gotten to Season 7 of the main series.

My Hero Academia Season 7

War is on the horizon, and due to Tomura Shigaraki's previous attack, the number of heroes are slim. All Might requests help from various countries hoping that other nation's heroes will aid them in the danger that is soon to arrive. While Many countries prioritize preventing crime happening domestically, the number 1 hero from the United States of America, Star and Stripe, flies over to help Japan along with a squad of jet fighters. Before they can make it to Japan, Tomura Shigaraki meets them in the sky. They have no choice but to battle then and there. At first Star and Stripe is able to capture Tomura using her quirk. However, as he figures out how it works, he is able to avoid being beaten, and ultimately steals star's ability. But just before he steals it, star arranges for the quirk to destroy him from the inside by attacking any quirk it comes in contact with. The war is set back a week so that Tomura has time to recover. Will this extra time be enough for the heroes to gather their strength and fight back?

My Hero Academia Season 7 was super good. I often dislike how American's are portrayed in anime, but I really like how they did it in my Hero Academia. There is an insane amount of fighting. I am so grateful that I didn't start this series until after all the seasons had come out, because it ended the same as Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 and The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Season 2. You can tell that a big fight is about to happen, but it just ends. I really grew to love Himiko Toga and Ochaco Uraraka during this season. I already did like them from the beginning, but I love them even more now. I also cried a little bit during their fight. This Season is mostly free of lewd scenes, but there is an episode where you see Toga naked as she's processing things internally. Though it was brief, it was a little too much for me. If you enjoyed all the other seasons so far, I would definitely suggest giving this season a try.

My Hero Academia UA BATTLE HEROES

During winter break, The students of class 1-A are all stuck inside the dorms due to precautions to keep them safe from The League of Villains. Not knowing what to do, They start talking about a festival that had been hosted by U.A. High School in the past. Just then Mirio Togata comes in with a card game for them to play created by the support course students. The cards all have the students of class 1-A on them along with special cards that have professional heroes on them. When put on a special board, holograms show up and the two players can simulate a battle between the characters on their cards as if it was happening in real life. 

My Hero Academia UA BATTLE HEROES was super fun to watch. I had actually seen an Instagram reel of this episode beforehand, but the dialogue and series of events was not accurate to what actually happened in the real episode, likely because it had been voiced over to be less serious and more funny. There are no lewd scenes. I think this is probably my favorite OVA yet. It takes place right after the end of season 6. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you like the main series.

My Hero Academia Season 6

The Heroes decide to attack The Paranormal Liberation Front that Hawks has been investigating. They send all the heroes in Japan to two separate locations. One is the hospital where Doctor Garaki works and creates the Nomu, while the other is the base of The Paranormal Liberation Front. They had planned to attack while Tomura Shigaraki was asleep, but as they destroyed the Hospital's hidden Lab where Garaki performed his experiments, They ended up Waking Tomura. While it was still two months before he was supposed to awaken, The power of his Decay Quirk had grown exponentially, as well as the strength of his body. By just touching the ground, Tomura Shigaraki decimated an entire city. Will the Heroes be able to capture him before it's too late?

My Hero Academia Season 6 was incredible. The destruction caused by The Paranormal Liberation Front was unlike anything that had happened previously. You also get to see Deku improve drastically in this season. It makes sense given the amount of episodes left. The second half of the Season was also amazing. I even cried a little at the end when Ochako gives her speech about Deku. There is a bath scene with the male characters at the end of the season, but the majority of it stays clean. If you enjoyed the previous seasons, I would definitely suggest giving this one a watch as well. 

MY Hero Academia Season 5 OVA

 

Heroes and Students gather together to play Hero League Baseball. Gang Orca leads one team, while the Lion Hero leads the other. Every player uses their quirks to try and win the game. Meanwhile the police approach the Endeavor Agency to take care of a villain called Mr. Smiley who has been committing acts of vandalism all over town. Endeavor originally claims that such jobs are beneath him and should be taken care of by the police. The police have been unable to detain him due to his quirk, which makes anybody he looks at burst out in laughter. After going home and finding that his home has been vandalized by Mr. Smiley, Endeavor becomes more eager to take down the villain. Todoroki, Deku, and Bakugo go out with others from the endeavor team, but are stopped as they burst out in laughter. Will the heroes be able to capture the villain, or will he continue evade them?

My Hero Academia Season 5 OVA was really fun to watch. I almost never see baseball episodes so this one felt pretty unique in my opinion. The only other baseball episodes I have seen were in The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You and Squid Girl. I really enjoyed the second episode of the OVA as well. The case of Mr. Smiley felt really unique. I realized that a lot of people on the endeavor team are so serious that you don't imagine them laughing at all. So when they do start laughing, it's kind of fun to see. This OVA didn't have any lewd scenes. It takes place between seasons 5 & 6. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch.

My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Movie 3)

 

A cult known as Humarise sees quirks as a disease and seeks to eliminate them to save the human race. In order to make this happen they plant bombs all over the world that are filled with a toxic substance that makes quirks go out of control. They release one to show how disastrous it can be, they then announce that they plan to release these all over the world. The heroes of U.A High School who are doing their work studies are spread out in various countries throughout the world. After arriving in the country of Otheon Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugo see a robbery take place and chase the criminals down. After catching the criminals they realize the suitcase of jewelery has been handed off and Deku captures the thief, only to find out that the suitcases got swapped. A broadcast is then shown on TV claiming that Deku is a criminal that murdered 12 people. Will Deku be able to save the people of Otheon now that the police are on high alert for him?

My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission takes place right after season 5. This is important because if you watch it before then various events throughout season 5 may be spoiled for you. I honestly really enjoyed the third movie. I feel like the fights in the My Hero Academia Movies are always more intense than the ones in the actual show. Though I'm enjoying the main series just as much. There are no lewd scenes in the movie. If you enjoyed My Hero Academia Season 5, I would definitely suggest giving this movie a try.
