The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power

The ducal house of Sanchez has produced great leaders in various fields for generations. The current head of the house has two daughters: Flora, who is considered a candidate for sainthood because of her outstanding talent with healing magic, and Carolina, who has been perceived by the public as clumsy and talentless. A nickname has even spread among the nobility, calling her the “Disgrace of House Sanchez.”

One day, the king visits Carolina and asks if she has someone she loves. He then explains that, due to political tensions between the Kingdom of Celestia and the Malcosian Empire, the Empire has demanded that a noble lady of the highest standing be sent to them as the bride of the second prince, Edward Ruby Martinez. Since the princess of Celestia is already betrothed and Flora is a candidate for sainthood, the duty falls to Carolina.

Rumors have spread far and wide that the second prince is an unfeeling man who cuts down innocent women and children without hesitation. Despite these rumors, Carolina accepts the proposal. Upon her arrival in the Malcosian Empire, she meets the Pyreborn Knights, the order commanded by Prince Edward. However, when she finally meets the prince himself, she is completely caught off guard. He is the complete opposite of the man she was led to believe he was. Will Carolina's new life finally be filled with the happiness she deserved but never received?

The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power was really good. It has a similar feel to anime like The Too-Perfect Saint, Betrothed to My Sister's Ex, and Pass the Monster Meat, Milady. I always enjoy fantasy/romance anime like this. They give off a special feeling that I don't get from romance anime that take place in Japan. That's not to say there aren't any good non-fantasy romance anime, though. The Dangers in My Heart, which I enjoyed immensely the other week, is a perfect example. The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power doesn't have any swearing, and there are no lewd scenes in it. If you enjoy fantasy/romance anime, I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

A Sign of Affection

One day, while Yuki is riding the bus, a man approaches her and asks for directions. However, since she is deaf, she is unable to communicate with him. She is saved by a young man named Itsuomi. She remembers that he is part of the same club her friend Rin attends. So, after arriving at their college campus, she talks to Rin about him, and Rin takes Yuki to the bar where Itsuomi works. It's there that Yuki asks for Itsuomi's phone number. After receiving it, the two start to communicate more by texting. Itsuomi then tells her that he would like to learn sign language. This makes Yuki super happy, and she offers to teach him herself. Will Yuki and Itsuomi stay friends, or will their relationship turn into something more?

A Sign of Affection was pretty good. While the sign language being incorporated into the anime was different from any romance anime I've seen before, it didn't feel super exciting to watch. This definitely feels like an anime you watch between shows you really like. It has a really relaxing feel to it, which is good. Even though it felt pretty slow to me, I'm sure it can be super entertaining if that's what you're in the mood for. The anime stays pretty wholesome for the most part. There is a shower scene, but all you see is Yuki's head and shoulders. If you enjoy romance anime with older characters, I would suggest giving it a try.

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.

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.

Null & Peta OVA

Null wakes up inside of a wrestling ring where her Sister Peta is dressed as the referee. There she faces multiple Null's and Peta's from various parts of the world. They fight with fists, food, and other objects to try and become the best. Who will win the tournament? Will it be Null, or will it be Peta?

Null & Peta OVA was pretty interesting starting out. A tournament where you fight yourself is pretty cool. However, the episode evolves into something completely different than what it started out as. Seeing as the episode is only 5 minutes I can understand why they wanted to fit as much content as they could into it.  There isn't any swearing. While it doesn't have any of the usual tropes like beach scenes, hot springs scenes, or pool scenes, you do see Peta in a bikini at the very end of the episode as she's fighting in the ring. If you don't like fan service, you can skip this; but, if you enjoyed the Null & Peta series it could be worth a try.

My Hero Academia Season 5

The Heroes of Class 1-A are back. After seeing Endeavor's fight against the Nomu, things are beginning to change; People's ideas of what it means to be a hero, as well as the motivation of Heroes in training. For their class a hypothetical rescue mission ensues. Mirio Togata plays the citizen in danger, while Nejire Hado and Tamaki Amajiki play the villains. Not long after, there's an announcement that Class 1-A and Class 1-B will be having a competition where they face off against each other in teams of four. Surprisingly, Hitoshi Shinso from General Studies will be joining on two of the teams to see if he has what it takes to join the Hero Course.

My Hero Academia Season 5 was just as good as the seasons before it. When I first started this series, getting to season five sounded unimaginable, but everything about My Hero Academia is interesting. I love the characters, the story, the animation, and the world building. While there isn't any swearing, there is a beach scene where you see Ochako, Tsuyu, Nejire, and Sirius in swimsuits. If you enjoyed the first four seasons, I would definitely suggest giving the fifth a try.

My Hero Academia Season 4

After All Might's retirement, the public is wondering if there is still any hope left in the world. Many reporters have been writing about All Might's past, but a certain agency wants to do something different. So they hire freelance journalist Taneo Tokuda to infiltrate U.A. High School and report on Class 1-A who All Might has been spending an incredible amount of time with. Through a series of observations and deductions Taneo figures out that Deku is All Might's Successor. He tells Deku this directly, but promises not to alert the public about it...at least not anytime soon.

My Hero Academia Season 4 was really good. The fights between The Yakuza and The Heroes was amazing to see. You also get to see Deku steadily improve his fighting style. I really enjoyed the addition of Eri this season. It's fun to see her personal growth as well. There were no lewd scenes, or any swearing this season. If you enjoyed previous seasons, I would definitely suggest giving this one a try as well.  

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.

Let's Make a Mug Too Season 2

After the competition, Himeno is at a loss of what to make next. One day she hears a story about how her mom traveled to cafe's all over Tajima for inspiration to build the perfect coffee cup. After her dad and the other customers finish telling the story, her dad makes room on the shelf where her mom's pieces are displayed and he tells her that this is where Himeno Toyokawa's masterpiece can be displayed. He hoped that that would give her a push to create something again, but all it did was put unnecessary pressure on her to create something great. Will Himeno find what she's looking for?

Let's Make a Mug Too Season 2 was fun. This season followed a similar pattern to season 1. It was a lot of slice of life scenes mixed with a bunch of different ceramics projects. I'm happy to note that Himeno did make a mug this season. The entire season was clean. There wasn't any swearing or lewd scenes. If you enjoyed Season 1 I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.

Let's Make a Mug Too

After her father's business failed in Tokyo, Himeno Toyokawa and her dad moved back to Gifu where her mother and father grew up. On her first day of high school Himeno introduces herself by pulling out cups that are used in her family's restaurant and advertises her father's new business. After class a fellow classmate pulls Himeno aside and takes her all the way to the pottery club. Mika Kukari recognized the creator of the cups and mugs and believed that Himeno was a collector of pottery. The pieces were made by Himeno Tokikawa, who is famous in the world of pottery, and also happens to be Himeno's mother. Watch as Himeno grows a love for pottery and learns to use it to put a smile on people's faces.

Let's Make a Mug Too was a fun little anime. Though the fact that they didn't actually make a mug is both hilarious and disappointing to me. However, there still is a chance in season 2. I will say that it kind of gave me the same vibes as a sports anime. The constant training to improve. the competition, and the slice of life scenes in between gave it a similar feel to Scorching Ping Pong Girls and Ro-Kyu-Bu. It also has a relaxing feel which kind of reminded me of Encouragement of Climb as well. There is an episode where the pottery club goes to the river in their swimsuits, but besides that it remains completely wholesome. I would definitely suggest giving it a try, if you are looking for a relaxing anime.   

OSHI NO KO Season 3

It's been six months since B-Komachi's latest song. Aqua has started doing a talk show, while Akane is in a movie. Mem-cho and Kana continue their work as idols, while Ruby manages to rise in popularity by making a surprise appearance as a reporter on Aqua's current show. This makes the subscriber count for B-Komachi's Youtube channel skyrocket, So much so that Kana and Mem wonder if they are actually helping the group. Will things continue to work out as they have been, or will the toxic entertainment industry become too much for Aqua and Ruby to bear?

I will admit I didn't like Oshi No Ko Season 3 as much as the other 2 seasons. It doesn't get very involved with the behind the scenes stuff with Aqua's talk show like season 2 did with the 2.5D stage play of Tokyo Blade. It focuses more on the mystery of Ai's death. It was actually kind of stressful to watch, but at the same time there were parts of it that made me laugh really hard though. I was wondering if I was even going to try and watch the fourth season when it comes out, but after seeing the finale I definitely am going to watch it. Everyone dresses modestly and the language is clean. If you enjoyed the first two seasons I would suggest giving the third one a try, but just know it has a completely different vibe from before.

Kunon the Sorcerer Can See

Kunon Gurion is a noble who bears the Hero's scar. Those who bear the Hero's scar are born missing something, in Kunon's case it was his eyesight. However, once he started learning magic, he became determined to create a new set of eyes that would allow him to see the world. It turns out that while he can't cast any attack magic his two basic spells can be manipulated in a number of ways. His creative mind allows him to rise up in the world and overcome each new challenge that is set before him.

Kunon the Sorcerer Can See is definitely a unique anime. It started out really interesting. A blind person using magic to learn to see was cool to me. However, slowly Kunon's personality gets worse and worse. The anime is free of any lewd scenes. I still believe it is worth giving a try, even if the latter half is a disaster. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the anime had focused on Kunon and his Fiancee Mirika.

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.

Akame ga Kill!

Tatsumi is a boy from a rural village who dreams of making it rich in the capital to save his impoverished village. However, after getting separated from his friends he is given a warning  that the capital is full of monsters. Not the magical beasts that he's used to slaying, but humans with wicked hearts. After arriving at the capital and getting robbed, he runs into a young girl who offers to take him to her mansion where he can stay for awhile. It is there he runs into night raid. Night raid is a group of assassins that only attacks at night. When he asks them why they would kill an innocent girl they show him to a hidden room, where he finds out that those he thought were good are evil, and those he thought were evil are actually good. He is then scouted to be part of Night Raid. Can Tatsumi make it as an assassin, and right the wrongs plaguing this world?

Akame ga Kill was a far more intense anime than I had imagined. I think the reason for this is that most fantasy anime I am used to watching have a really lighthearted feeling. I have only seen a few dark fantasy and death game type anime. Though seeing as the main group is an organization of assassins, I should have expected there to be a lot of deaths. There are a couple beach episodes where the characters wear swimsuits, as well as a girl who wears clothes that expose her stomach. There is some swearing, but it doesn't happen too often. I think the anime is good and would definitely suggest giving it a watch if you enjoy anime that have a lot of fighting in 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.

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.

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. 

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.
