A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires

Elizabeth Leiston is the crown princess of the Kingdom of Haldoria. She has made generous contributions to the citizens of the kingdom through her company, Funnel Trade Group. She also takes care of many of the administrative responsibilities that keep the government running. Despite all this, the crown prince announces that he is breaking off their engagement and marrying another girl named Sylvia Lockit. Prince Friede then imprisons Elizabeth on false charges and spreads rumors portraying her as a villain. That night, while in her prison cell, Elizabeth decides to seek revenge—not just on the prince, but on the entire kingdom. She uses her magic to escape her cell and uses her connections to move to the empire bordering Haldoria. There, she starts a new life as a merchant selling cosmetics. However, that's just a front to help her carry out her revenge. Will Elizabeth really be able to take down an entire country?

A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires was really good. There was something strange about it to me, though. Not a single person in the entire country questioned the rumors, except for those who worked under Elizabeth. Even the poor people she had helped, along with the king and her own father, turned their backs on her. I can kind of understand why she wanted revenge.

As for the content, the characters dress modestly for the most part, except for a small scene where Elizabeth and her associates go to the beach and wear swimsuits. There isn't any swearing either. I would definitely recommend it if you enjoy fantasy anime. 

I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand

Luck, Goran, and Eric travel through a dimensional rift to defeat the Demon King. While they are able to badly injure him, they are unable to finish him off. After taking a break, they realize that they are facing what appears to be an insurmountable number of demons. Luck tells the others to leave it to him and return to their families, who are waiting for them. Reluctantly, Eric and Goran turn back while Luck holds off the demon horde.

Luck couldn't tell whether he had been fighting for weeks or months, but the Demon King eventually returns at full power. Since Luck had been fighting demons nonstop, even in his sleep, the number of skills he had learned allowed him to defeat the Demon King single-handedly.

When Luck finally returns to the Capital, he notices several changes, including a giant statue that was erected in town while he was gone. He asks a citizen who the statue is supposed to represent, and the citizen tells him that it is the great sage and saint, Luck, who saved the world ten years ago.

After learning about the statue, Luck decides to go to the Adventurers Guild, where he plans to start over from scratch. There, he reunites with Goran, who has become the Grand Master of the Adventurers Guild. Eric arrives soon after, having been appointed king in honor of his deeds and his role in helping defeat the Demon King. Together, they help Luck hide his identity as the S-Rank Mage Luck and become the F-Rank Warrior Lock. But will Luck be able to hide his true identity forever?

I Became a Legend After My 10-Year-Long Last Stand was really good. It had a similar feel to I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level, as well as The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess. While the anime has a lot of familiar tropes, such as adventuring, forming friendships that eventually feel like family, and being a former member of the Hero's Party, it still feels very unique compared to other fantasy anime.

There is a little swearing here and there, but the language is mostly clean. The characters generally dress modestly, with a few exceptions. There is a scene where you see Cellis at the river with her legs exposed, a bath scene featuring Celliss and Sia, and a vampire who shows cleavage during a fight. If you enjoy fantasy anime, I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

The Villager of Level 999

In this world, everyone is given a class and a level, and the weakest of them all is the Villager class. Most villagers die at around Level 5 to 10, but Koji Kagami has reached Level 999. During one of his quests, he meets a young girl who is being targeted by the hero's party. After getting her out of the situation by claiming that she's his little sister, he finds out that her name is Alice and that she is the daughter of the Demon Lord.

What Alice wants more than anything is coexistence between demons and humans. Since Koji had previously met the Demon King, he agrees to help her. They get medicine for the Demon King, who has been sick, and begin preparing to return Alice to the Demon King's castle. However, before they can leave, the city is attacked. Will Alice and Koji be able to convince the world that demons and humans aren't that different?

The Villager of Level 999 was pretty good. Something that I really appreciated was seeing the hero change. A lot of times, the hero is there just to be a jerk to the protagonist. Thankfully, Rex, the hero, is willing to listen to Koji and help him rather than being arrogant and set in his ways. All the characters dress modestly until the last episode, when you see Parna, the mage, wearing a bunny girl outfit. Besides that, there are no lewd scenes. If you enjoy fantasy anime, I would suggest giving this one a try.

The Beginning After the End Season 2

It's been two years since Arthur Leywin set out on his adventures as the adventurer Note, along with Jasmine Flamesworth of the Twinhorns. He goes on a quest to find a mana beast that's been causing trouble for villages. What they find is an Arachne; A spider-like monster that's resistant to magic, and has an outer shell so hard that swords bounce right off it. Jasmine and Arthur run away after seeing a young girl get trapped inside a crystal after being hit by the Arachne's web. However, as they stop to take a breather before returning to alert the adventurers guild, the Arachne pops up from behind them and freezes jasmine in a crystal. Rather than returning to the guild, Arthur defeats the monster freeing Jasmine and the other villagers.

The Beginning After the End Season 2 was super good. I really enjoyed that they brought back Tessia this season. However, they keep missing each other despite being in the same city. It felt similar to what happened in The Strongest Job is Not a Hero or a Sage, but an Appraiser (Provisional) with Hibiki and Emalia. It would have been nice if they could have met up sooner. It did feel a little bit like Mushoku Tensei, but not as much as season 1 did. The battles against monsters are really cool and kept me captivated. There isn't any swearing, or any lewd scenes. If you enjoy Isekai anime, I would definitely suggest giving this one a watch.

I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too (Special) - The Legendary Dragon—Awakens

 

After being purified by Akatsuki, Yuti joins Yuuya in the real world. She becomes a student at Ousei Middle School. She is instantly accepted by the students in her class. As thanks for her help in enrolling Yuti at Ousei academi, Yuuya and Yuti take Kaori to the capital in the other world. It is there that they run into Owen who tells them that a dragon has awakened. The knights then invite Yuuya to help on their search to resolve the situation.

I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too Special was super cool. The episode takes place right after season 1 ends, so it felt more like a continuation of the series rather than a side story like most OVA and Special episodes do. If you enjoyed season 1 I would definitely suggest giving the special episode a try.

The Strongest Job is Apparently not a Hero or a Sage, But an Appraiser (Provisional)!

One day while Hibiki Manabe was at school, he walks into a room and runs into a bright flash of light. Suddenly he finds himself in another world. In this world he is given skills by the chief god, god of magic, and medicine god. Because his job is appraiser, he doesn't start out with any offensive skills, making him weaker than most. However, the gods do everything in their power to make sure he is able to live. He soon meets an elf named Emalia who acts as his guide. But, how long will Hibiki be able to rely on others to survive without improving himself?

The strongest job is apparently not a hero or a sage, but an appraiser (provisional) was okay. I typically like most isekai anime, but this one had one of my pet peeves. All the main character talks about is going home. It felt similar to other isekai anime like Arifureta, Chillin in Another World with My Level 2 Super Cheat Powers, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Arifureta, Chillin in Another World with My Level 2 Super Cheat Powers, and The Rising of the Shield Hero all contain characters that want to go home. However, Arifureta makes up for it with its action and comedy, and Chillin in Another World makes up for it with its romance. Hibiki also has a voice guidance system like Rimuru and Flio but seems to remain clueless despite the constant advice he's given. The title is a bit misleading. I thought "provisional" in the title meant that they weren't sure they would keep the title as it was. However, Hibiki's job is called "Appraiser (Provisional)"; it is also misleading in that he is not actually stronger than the hero or the sage. Both outclass him throughout all 12 episodes. There are also quite a few bath and Hot Springs scenes, as well as multiple scenes where Emalia's buttons fall off due to her chest size. While I didn't enjoy this one, it could be great if you enjoy generic isekai anime.

Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling

One day he wakes up and everything is dark. Slowly a light starts to form and our main character finds out he has been reincarnated as a dragon egg. After fighting off monsters his abilities begin to grow and the egg hatches. He comes across some humans and believes he can befriend them, however, he is hunted instead. Though after falling down he is healed by a girl named Myria. After she runs toward her party, the dragon hears some screaming and learns that the humans ran into a rock dragon.  one was already dead, and the other two have almost run out of health points. Too weak to beat a rock dragon by himself, the dragon picks up Myria and brings her to the nearest village, where he is attacked. Unable to go back, the dragon finds a nearby cave and starts living life in the forest.

Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling took a different turn than I was expecting. After watching the first episode I thought it would turn into an anime similar to Beheneko. However, it felt more like an inferior version of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. There were no lewd scenes and it only swears here and there. If you like Isekai anime I would suggest giving it a try. Though it doesn't measure up to a some Isekai, it's still good as a way to pass the time.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2

Frieren, Fern, and Stark continue their journey. Now that Fern has been certified as a first-class mage the group heads for the Northern Plateau. On their way there Frieren comes across a crystal that nullifies magic. While it could be sold for a fortune Fern tells Frieren to abandon it as it would put their party in jeopardy if they were to be attacked. Later as they walk away the group falls into an underground cave full of magic nullifying crystals, making Stark the only one capable of fighting. After they leave they come across Wirbel's party, that they met during the First Class Mage Exam. Wirbel tries to recruit Stark to help protect the far north, but Stark declines. With a smile Wirbel says that he looks forward to meeting them again when they arrive in the Far North.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 was really fun to watch. The fights weren't as great as season 1, but the story and slice of life scenes completely made up for it. Though I wasn't expecting there to be lots of fights either, since Frieren: Beyond Journey's End isn't really about that. There is hot spring scenes, but they don't show anything below the shoulders. If you enjoyed Frieren Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.

Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord

Ever since her was two years old, Van Fertia was labeled as a prodigy for both his knowledge and his skill with the sword. His family was convinced that he would receive an aptitude for elemental magic and become a skilled warrior. However, what he received at the age of eight was an aptitude for production magic. Seeing the skill as useless, his father raised his sword to kill Van. Right before he acted, Van's older brother suggested sending him to an impoverished village to reign as its new lord. Van now exiled from his family home, traveled with no help from his family, only Van's personal maid, the head butler, the knight captain, and a slave that Van freed followed him to this new village. People were wary at first, but as Van used his magic, the village transformed into a safe and comfortable place to live.

Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord was a fun and relaxing anime. It felt similar to other anime that focus on a single place, such as Farming Life in Another World, Sweet Reincarnation, I'm a Noble On The Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic, as well as Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time. The language stays clean. There are a few bath scenes, but they don't particularly stand out. If you enjoy anime that focus on a character developing the place they live, I would definitely suggest watching it.

There was a Cute Girl in the Hero’s Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her

When the Hero's Party go to defeat the demon lord, they first get to a demon named Yoki and are unable to beat him. Instead of killing the hero's like his subordinates suggested, he asks his subordinates to carry them back to the nearest village. The hero's continue to return only to be met with the same result. After about a month of this Yoki says that he'll let the hero's party past him if they leave behind their priestess. Reluctantly they agree. It is then that Yoki confesses his love. Unfortunately Cecilia turns him down. The Demon Lord is defeated, and the Demon Lord's army gets disbanded. Yoki decides to rip off his wings and horn and go into the city of minerva as a human. He then becomes an adventurer to pay for his needs.

There was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her was a really cute and fun anime. I really liked the balance between adventuring and romantic interactions between the characters. Everyone dresses modestly and the language is clean.  I would definitely suggest it if you enjoy fantasy anime with a focus on adventuring.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Akira Oda is transported to another world along with all his classmates. The king of the kingdom of Retice tells them that the demons are terrorizing the people and the demon lord must be killed. Most of the classmates are easily convinced. They each are given classes, skills, and levels. The Hero which is thought to be the strongest class is given to one of Akira's Classmates. However, Akira notices that his stats are even higher than the Hero's. While everybody begins to train in their upcoming war against the demons, Akira instead investigates the king and what's really going on behind the scenes.

My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's had a very similar feel to Arifureta From Commonplace to World's Strongest. However, it has a much darker feel than Arifureta. All the characters seem more serious. While the main character is an assassin, there isn't really any killing until the last episode. The anime is free of fan service, and the language is clean. I would suggest it if you enjoy Isekai anime. But don't expect it to be the best isekai out there. 

Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill Season 2

As Fel, Sui, and Muhkoda are traveling through the forest they defeat a hoard of spider monsters. After picking up the monsters, they stop to eat. Muhkoda decides to make Gyoza with the help of Sui. After it is done and they start eating, Muhkoda is approached by a Pixie Dragon. After trying his Gyoza, the Pixie Dragon becomes Muhkoda's Familiar. Now they go on a journey to see what kind of amazing dishes can be made using the monsters they take down.

Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill Season 2 was fun to watch. It has a good balance of action, cooking, and slice of life elements. It has a very similar feel to season 1. Everybody dresses modestly and there is no swearing. If you enjoyed Season 1 I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.

The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest

Alec Ygriet graduated as the top student in his class at his magic academy. But rather than forming an adventuring party with his friends, he decided to become a court magician to repay the kindness of a man named Eldas who taught him how to use magic as a child. However, he got stuck with restrictions as the prince's guard. Unaware of the restrictions set by the king, the prince banishes Alec for not being skilled enough in his party. Alec accepts the situation and leaves. He then meets up with his friends from the Academy who have already reached rank A as adventurers.

The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest was your typical Adventuring anime. It was fun to watch, just like any other fantasy anime. I did like that these people have a history together, and you get to learn about that history through flashbacks. in some animes the party knows each other for a long time, but you don't actually learn what happened in the past like in I left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths. There was no fan service in this one. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you like Adventuring Anime.

May I Ask for One Final Thing?

Scarlett El Vandimion is a very imortant person to the royal family. So much so that her betrothal to the second prince was arranged before she was even born. However during a ball he publicly announces that he is calling off their engagement. Now that she is a free woman she decides to beat up the prince, his new Fiancée, and all of the nobles part of the second prince faction who are attending the ball. Rumors spread far and wide of her viciousness. How will she react now that her reputation is starting to change?

May I Ask for One Final Thing? was an interesting anime. There is something satisfying about seeing Scarlett punch jerks. However, I think it could've been even better if the first prince didn't tease Scarlett so much. I kind of wish she had punched him more times than she actually did. But overall it was very fun to watch. There was a hot springs scene, but besides that everyone dresses modestly. There is quite a bit of swearing though. The relationship between Scarlett and Terenezza did feel a bit similar to the relationship between Aileen Lauren Dautriche  and Lilia Rainworth in I'm the villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss. There are other resemblances of course, but explaining would spoil too much of the story. I would definitely suggest it if you enjoy anime with the villainess theme. 

My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha: Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon, I'm Out for Revenge!

Light was just a boy from the countryside who wanted to become an adventurer. However, discrimination against humans by the other races made it impossible to find a party. One day he is approached by a party called the Concord of Tribes. They claim that there goal is to stop discrimination by having one member from each race in their party and they would like Light to represent the humans. However, one day while traversing a dungeon they suddenly attack light and prepare to kill him. However, he gets caught up in a transportation trap and ends up at the bottom of the abyss. It is there he uses his gift to summon a maid that is level 9999 and together they start his plan for revenge.

I really enjoyed this one. I don't typically watch revenge anime so the only thing I can compare it to is Redo of healer, that is if redo of healer didn't have any fan service. There is some swearing in it, but the anime is clean from any inappropriate content. If you enjoy Fantasy anime then it might be worth a try.

A Gatherer's Adventure in Isekai

After dying, Takeru meets with a God who tells him that he will be sent to another world called Madeus. The God wants Takeru to stop civilizations from collapsing. In exchange he is willing to give Takeru gifts to help him survive in this new world. Things like a cute partner, knowledge of all languages in the world, and a search skill that allows him to identify anything he looks at. With these skills, Takeru wants a slow life in this new world where he can take things at his own pace. However, not everything always goes how he expects it to,

A Gatherers Adventure in Isekai wasn't particularly special. There are plenty of other isekai anime that are more captivating. While the anime does have the Adventurer trope, Takeru doesn't use the typical spells you see throughout the fantasy anime genre. He also doesn't automatically know magic, but has to figure it out on his own, which felt unique to me. If you like Isekai anime, you may want to give it a try, but it probably won't be the best anime you've seen so far.
