OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom


After The Demon Emperor Jaldobaoth attacks the sacred kingdom, the soldiers learn that the only one that has stood up to him is the adamantite adventurer Momon of darkness. In hopes of aquiring his services the sacred kingdom's paladins walk into the sorcerer kingdom Ains Ooal Gown. When they meet with Ains Ooal Gown he tells them that Momon's presence is needed to keep the people calm, but he will go instead. While they are happy to have his help with the war, there are those in the city who would prefer him to die due to him being a monster. To keep an eye on him, the head paladin assigns her squire Neia Baraja to be his attendant. However, Neia Baraja quickly becomes Ains's biggest supporter, having total confidence in him and his words. Word quickly spreads of Ains Ooal Gown's powers and nature. The citizens even start calling him a hero despite him being an undead. Will everything work out for the Sacred Kingdom or will it fall into ruin like the Re-Estize Kingdom?

I really liked the movie. Though I think that my favorite part was when Neia teams up with Delta and starts calling her senpai. I also really liked this because only a few of the Pleiades are focused on during the series, and delta doesn't get all that much screen time. the language is clean as well as the visuals. If you liked the main series I would give the movie a try.

Dungeon People


Clay was raised by her dad who constantly raided dungeons. He taught her everything he believed she needed in order to survive a dungeon. However, one day he disappeared leaving only a note and a dagger for Clay to use. While Clay was raiding the Antomerg dungeon she runs into a minotaur who serves as the eighth floor's guardian. during their fight a wall breaks and the minotaur does something Clay never expected. He asks her to stop the fight because the dungeon administrator will be arriving due to the broken wall. After getting information on what happened the dungeon administrator Beilleheila Langdass pulls Clay aside and asks if she would be willing to work as part of the dungeon staff. Clay says that she'll do it if Beilleheila can beat her in a fight. Naturally, as the dungeons final boss, Belle defeats Clay in under a minute. And thus begins Clay's journey of learning what goes on behind the scenes of a dungeon.

While Dungeons may seem like an overdone trope of the fantasy anime genre, Dungeon People gives a truly unique take on it. I think what I enjoyed the most was learning about the monsters like Pekkomo, Teruru, and Binky. The language in the anime is clean, and the characters all dress modestly. It's honestly hard to find an anime to compare this to. I was reminded of delicious in dungeon a little bit because in delicious in dungeon they do talk about the mechanics of the dungeon they are exploring. If you are looking for a new dungeon themed anime I would definitely give this one a try.

I Parry Everything


Noor has always dreamed of being an adventurer ever since he was a child. When his mom suddenly dies he decides to fulfill his dream. After visiting the adventurers guild who turned him away he went to six different training locations to became a swordsman, warrior, hunter, thief, magician and Cleric. However after spending three months at each training location he is turned away and told that their class isn't a good fit for him and he should go elsewhere. So he goes into the mountain and trains everyday for fourteen years. After that he returns to the adventurers guild and is made an F-Rank adventurer. While F-Rank's aren't allowed to take monster requests this doesn't bother Noor at all. He is satisfied doing work like construction and cleanup around the city. It isn't until he hears a girl screaming in a nearby cave and he goes to save her that his adventure truly starts.

I Parry Everything was a cool and relaxing anime. It moves at a good pace and the story is interesting. The language is clean and the characters all dress modestly. If you are looking for a good adventure anime you should give I Parry Everything a try.

Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?


In Kai's world there were five races, Humans, Celestials, Demons, Spirits, and Beasts. Thanks to a man named Sid all the races besides humans were either destroyed or sealed away. However, even though the war between the races has been long over, Kai still trained every day in case one of the races escaped. One day as he was going on a shopping trip with his childhood friend Jeanne he hears a voice talk about world reincarnation. Before he knew it Kai was transported to a world almost identical to his own. The only differences was Sid didn't exist, and the world was currently in the great war between the five races. Will Kai be able to solve the mystery of this world and return to his own?

Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World starts out slow but gets better as you go on. I'm not always satisfied with an ending of an anime, but this one ended in a way where the main issue is resolved so it doesn't feel like it needs a season 2. The anime is clean for the most part but there is a shower scene as well as a Hot Springs scene. In my opinion its not going to be the best anime you've ever seen, but if you like sci-fi, Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World is worth giving a try.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3


After Walpurgis ends, the demon lords each go back to their countries. In order to take care of the situation with Falmuth, Rimuru sends Diablo as well as Youm to give the nobles a choice as to what to do next. Naturally, they manage to resolve things peacefully by having king edmaris give up the throne as well as have the country pay a fine. However, the new king has no intention of paying Rimuru back and instead he starts hiring mercenaries. In order to resolve the situation with Hinata, Rimuru sends a message to her. But, things don't always go as planned, and the army of Lubellious heads towards Tempest with the goal to destroy Rimuru. Will Rimuru be able to handle all the problems coming his way?

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 was really good in my opinion. However, it doesn't have as much action as previous seasons which can be disappointing for some. The season flows really well though if you watch all the seasons back to back. It also is pretty clean with only a few Hot Springs scenes. Anyway if you liked the previous seasons of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, I would give Season 3 a try as well.

A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero


A few years ago dungeons started popping up in the real world. One of the first people to travel and search it was Captain Katsuragi. This man was a hero to Kaito Takagi who decided to become a dungeon explorer himself. However, he was unable to fight anything stronger than a slime for two years. Then one day he stumbled across a servant card for a valkyrie named Sylphy. This was the first step to making Kaito's dream of becoming a hero a reality. Slowly after that he was able to get stronger when he obtained another card for a Devil named Luceria. Together with these two Kaito became strong enough to delve further into the dungeon. Will Kaito reach his goal of being a hero, and what kind of hero will he be?

A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero kind of reminds me of solo leveling. While the fights and animation are not on the level of solo leveling, the concept of dungeons appearing in the real world is similar. The anime is mostly clean with the exception of a Hot Springs scene. If you like fantasy anime's with dungeons I would give this one a try.

The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human


While Ike was born to two humans he was found next to his dead parents as a baby by the master magician Romberg. Romberg was a member of the Demon Lord's Army. With Romberg's help Ike learned how to disguise himself as a demon as well as how to use all the knowledge and magic that Romberg possessed. With his knowledge and prowess, Ike rose to the position of commander of the undying brigade serving under a witch named Cefiro. After overtaking the city of Arsenam over the course of a week Ike finally earned the right to meet the demon lord. As a reward for his efforts, Ike was made ruler over the city of Ivalias. This was an expression of the Demon Lord's trust in Ike since Ivalias is at the forefront of the war between the demons and humans. Rather than kill the humans like most demons would do when taking over a city, Ike made it a goal to create a world where demons and humans can live in harmony. Will Ike be able to achieve his ambition?

The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human was a pretty interesting watch. I watched it around four times before the season was finished. There is a little fan service throughout the series but not a lot. there is a scene where Cefiro is in the bath, as well as a scene where she is in a pool. There is some swearing but it wasn't too noticeable. If you like the fantasy genre I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants Season 2 Part 2


After rewriting the rumors and traditions that made up Avos Dilhevia, Anos takes his rightful place as the Demon King of Tyranny. After hearing from Misha that he will be missed at the Academy, Anos disguises himself as Anosh Polticoal the same disguise he used when visiting the land of the spirits. Many changes are brought about for the students such as Shin Reglia becoming a swordsmanship teacher as well as Enyunion teaching the students. While he is in his castle he is visited by his former teacher Emilia who went into hiding after being stripped of her royal status. Anos says he'll give her a chance to reclaim what she lost, but in order to do that she has to go to the Heroes Academy and teach there. Will she be able to do it?

The Misfit at Demon King Academy Season 2 Part 2 was really interesting. It goes a lot into Anos's past. I know Anos when he became the Demon king told everyone that if they needed something they could come to him. So when a girl tells him that she wants Anos to be her older brother and Anos agrees, its simultaneously cute and surprising. I was surprised because Anos is who I consider to be the most overpowered main character in the fantasy anime genre. His attitude of constantly showing how he is better than everyone else makes it all the more surprising. There are a few scenes where you see the characters in swimsuits, as well as you see the characters in bed together if that is something that makes you uncomfortable. Overall, if you liked the previous seasons I would give Season 2 Part 2 a try because it has a similar feel to season 1.

KONOSUBA -God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Season 3


After going through the ordeal with the Demon General Sylvia, Kazume decides that he wants to quit adventuring and become a monk. He believes his resolve to be unshakable and heads for the nearest temple. However, after finding a mallet that has the power to make money when you shake it, Kazuma decides to go back home. When he arrives Darkness is holding a letter which she tries to hide. After taking it and reading it, Kazuma learns that the princess wants to meet him and hear about his adventures in person. Will Kazuma be able to act properly in front of royalty without getting into trouble?

Konosuba Season 3 was pretty interesting. It felt different, like there was less of a focus on fighting monsters and adventuring. It was more of a slice of life season with the occasional fight. Surprisingly Kazuma went the whole season without going into debt. Though there were a lot more bath scenes than any other season. There was also a lot of swearing, if that is something that bothers you. In my opinion the first two seasons were better. However, if you have followed the series up to this point, I think season 3 is still worth watching.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime OAD


After being stretched far too thin by Shuna and Shion, Rimuru looks for a way for them to have something soft so they aren't always grabbing him. He is reminded of the bean bags in his previous life and decide to make some that resemble him. He first asks Shuna to find a thin stretchy material and then goes to Garm to see if he knows any bead like material that the bean bags can be filled with. Garm lets him know that there is a material called Sarasa that can be found in a nearby lake. However, there are rumors that there is a monster living in the lake so he should be careful. Confident in his abilities, Rimuru invites all his friends to have a picnic by the lake before they gather the Sarasa. However they are caught by surprise when everyone is grabbed by octopus like tentacles. Will they be able to defeat the monster and get the material they came for?

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime OAD was really good. I really liked the episodes about Rimuru teaching at the Freedom Academy. You get to see a little more of the kids after they have all recieved help from the spirits. While it does have an episode where the girls are in bikini's at the lake, I would still give it a try if you like the main series. The OVA takes place between the first and second season, if you want to watch it in chronological order.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc


After noticing how weak the new demon slayers are, The Master orders that the Hashira train the other demon slayers to make them stronger. It is also a good time to do it because the demons are spending their time searching for Nezuko rather than causing trouble in towns and cities. Each Hashira trains the demon slayers on a skill necessary for them to improve such as strength and flexibility. But with such a huge gap between their abilities will the new demon slayers have the will to endure it?

The Hashira Training Arc was just what I was hoping for after watching Swordsmith Village Arc. Rather than being repetitive by showing huge fights with strong demons, Demon Slayer managed to mix it up by focusing on the demon slayers improving their skill through training rather than combat. As the series has progressed I have come to appreciate every Hashira with the exception of the Wind Hashira. My original feelings after watching the end of season 1 was that the Hashira were all cruel. In the case of the Wind Hashira I was right and he managed to stay true to himself and be an abusive jerk till the end. This season managed to stay clean with the exception of  Mitsuri Kanroji who occasionally lets her cleavage show. While there were a few bath scenes it didn't feel inappropriate since the large majority of the Demon Slayer Corps is made up of boys. The language is clean as well.  If you liked the previous seasons I would definitely suggest giving this a watch.

THE NEW GATE


THE NEW GATE was a new VRMMORPG that was made available all across the globe. However, one day it turned into a death game trapping everyone inside, with no way to log out. Shin managed to beat the final boss and everyone logged out safely. But just before he was about to log out himself a door opened behind him. After walking through it Shin finds himself five hundred years into the future after everyone has left. With a Little Searching he learns that the NPC's in the game have all gained a sense of self and retain their memories from their time in the game. Will Shin be able to live the kind of life he did during the game, or will the five hundred years worth of changes cause him to rethink that?

I never thought that I would say this about an anime, but THE NEW GATE was mid. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It might sound like a Sword Art Online copy cat, but it reminds me more of In the Land of Leadale. You don't see anything of the death game except for the first 4 minutes of episode 1. There are some things that I had an issue with like how Shin complains that he can't use his full power. He obviously has the option to but at the same time wants to avoid the attention it will bring him. He also has a familiar which is a fox. She has the option to turn into a human but shin tells her not to. I honestly wish she took her human form more often than she does. This obviously is not relevant to the story and is just my opinion. There also was nothing that made me want to rewatch it, but it wasn't a pain to get through each episode like it was in Unnamed Memory. The season stayed mostly clean except for the second princess who always has her cleavage showing. There is a part where her clothes get ripped after fighting a monster and a large majority of her body is revealed. The language is clean as well. Overall, I think it is worth giving a try if you like anime with a focus on adventuring. I feel like you will know near the beginning if you are going to like it or not.

Unnamed Memory


Oscar Farsas has had a spell cast on him by the Witch of Silence ever since he was a child. This spell prevents him from having any kids by killing whoever he marries. In a desperate search for help he goes to a tower where it is said that if you beat all the trials laid before you the witch will grant a wish of yours. Oscar easily defeats the trials set up by The Azure Witch. When he finally reaches her he asks to find a way to prevent the effects of the spell. She tells him its only possible for a person with a really strong physical body. with the knowledge that Tinasha is a witch and has considerable power Oscar asks her to become his wife. Not willing to go that far, Tinasha agrees to stay in Farsas for a year and do everything she can to release him from the effects of the spell the Witch of Silence cast.

Unnamed Memory was an incredibly slow moving anime. It was incredibly hard to watch more than one episode at a time. I thought that at episode 11 it had all been worth it, however, true to every other episode it ended on a disappointing note for me. The story remains mostly clean with the exception of two bath scenes in episodes 10 and 11. The language is clean as well. I wouldn't suggest this to anybody due to the disappointment it brought me.

TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- Season 2


After his fight with Sofia Bulga the Dragon Slayer, Makoto Misumi heads to Rotsgard to enroll in the academy. However, due to a mistake by Rembrandt Makoto is taking the teacher employment exam, rather than the one for students. While he struggles at first because of his overwhelming power, Makoto is able to find ways to minimize it so he can attack the targets he needs while keeping them in tact. After finishing up Makato is made a part time teacher. After meeting with a full time teacher called Bright, Bright decides to send over some of his students who he thinks might be interested in Makoto's class. While the students underestimate him at first, there opinion instantly changes after seeing a mock battle between Shiki and Makato. While this wasn't what he had planned, will Makoto be able to fulfill his goals without drawing the attention of the goddess? 

Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- Season 2 was a lot better than I was expecting. While season 1 was entertaining, seeing Makoto as a teacher and how the students accept Makoto and his teachings brought a totally different but great feeling to the show. Also the forest ogre Eris definitely became my favorite character this season. the season remains modest with the exception of the hero Hibiki wearing a revealing outfit in the last two episodes, as well as the Gorgons in the episodes they appear in. If you enjoyed Tsukimichi Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try as well.

Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers


Bonaza is a merchant who hates that he lives in a world where demihumans have been forced into slavery. Right after he pays them for helping out he is transported to another world as a hero candidate. However, at first glance his stats appear to be the same as your typical commoner which causes the kingdom of Klyrode to cast him aside by sending him to the Delaveza Forest where The Dark Army is said to reside. Once he arrives at the forest he is attacked by slimes thanks to the king and his men casting magic on the equipment they left with him. After defeating them he levels up and a strange symbol appears next to each one of his stats, along with the ability to have a voice be his guide. This voice lets him know that he has received new spells and that he should use shapeshifting to change his appearance. Using the voice's suggestion he changes his appearance and then goes into town where he arrives at the adventurers guild. It is there he changes his name to Flio and takes on a quest to help a little girl go to the Delaveza Forest. However, his lack of knowledge about this world gets him into trouble with a group of knights that are stationed nearby. Will Flio be able to escape the kingdoms wrath?

Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers was a lot more fun to watch than I was expecting. While it appears to be an overpowered fantasy anime at first it changes into a slow life anime. It is kind of reminiscent of I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level with the whole group building slice of life concept. However, unlike I've been Killing Slimes for 300 Years, Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers has a greater focus on romance where Flio and a girl he saved pretend to be married and eventually fall in love. There are a few inappropriate scenes. One where Rys transforms from her demon form to her human form and has no clothes on, as well as two hot spring episodes. I would definitely suggest watching this if you enjoy Slow Life anime.

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability


In his previous life Lloyd was obsessed with magic, but unfortunately he didn't have a very good aptitude for it or come from a family with strong magical ties. After being killed he is reborn as the 7th prince of the Saloum family. Since he is so far down the line that he doesn't have to worry about succession issues, Lloyd devotes his time to learning about magic and swordplay. He even tames a demon who helps him with things he couldn't do before like double casting, as well as provides him information regarding other demons.

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability was more interesting than I was expecting. The characters are fun to watch and the story is good. My favorite character is the adventurer Tao who runs into Lloyd when he goes to a dungeon. While there isn't a lot of fan service, there is a hot spring scene, as well as scenes where Sylpha's wears revealing clothing. There is some swearing but it isn't overwhelming. Overall I liked it and would suggest it to someone looking for a overpowered main Character Isekai anime.

An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride


Deep in the Lost Woods there is a Sorcerer named Zagan, who lives in a castle all by himself. One day as he is trying to get some rest, he comes out to find a sorcerer who has attacked a girl. Not willing to forgive the sorcerer for ruining his sleep, he gets rid of him. Right as Zagan is about to teleport the girl to a random spot in the city, he is greeted by his fellow Sorcerer Barbatos. Barbatos tells Zagan that the most powerful sorcerer in the world Archdemon Marchosias has just died. Now all of his belongings are being sold off at an auction. It is there that Zagan meets the woman of his dreams. After one look Zagan decides to give up almost everything he has to be with her. Thus starts the romance of two people who know nothing about romance. 

An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride was super fun to watch. It is one of the cutest and most wholesome romances I have seen. It has the same feel that you get from Kubo won't let me be invisible, My Clueless First Friend, and The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses. However, unlike those romances this one takes place in a fantasy world. However, Unlike other fantasy romance animes which tend to be harems, this one revolves around one couple. There are a few scenes that contain fan service. In episode 1 a girl gets her shirt sliced open leaving her bra exposed. In episode 4 when Nephy asks Zagan to sleep in bed, he misunderstands her intention and it shows Nephy undressed in bed, however, the majority of her is covered by the bedsheets. Lastly in episode 9 there is a bath scene with Chastille and Nephy. Though besides these scenes everybody dresses modestly. If you like fantasy and romance I would definitely give this one a try.

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Cour 2


After leaving the city where Rudeas, Eris, and Ruijerd's scheme had been found out, they decide to try and leave the Demon Continent and head for the Asura Kingdom. However, they learn that in order to leave they will have to pay a fortune due to Ruijerd being a superd. The Man-God then appears in Rudeas's dream and tells him to buy food from a stall and head through a nearby alley. After following the advice he was given he runs into a girl who is broke and starving on the ground. Rudeas gives her the food and in return for his kindness the girl tells him her name is Kishirika Kishirisu the emperor of the demon continent, and she is willing to grant Rudeas a wish. After saying that she can't fulfill his wishes of money, world domination, and her body, she gives him a demon eye which gives him the power of precognition. Rudeas uses this new gift to save a man who turns out to be a smuggler and says that he is willing to smuggle them off the Demon Continent so they won't have to pay the huge fine. But in exchange the man would like Rudeas and his party to save some kids who are being held captive. The mission goes of without a hitch until members of The Doldia Tribe mistake Rudeas as being part of the smuggling ring and put him in prison. 

The second cour of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season One feels unique because it involves a lot of traveling. So I really felt like I got to experience different parts of the world. I feel like usually in an Isekai The Main character doesn't travel all that much and just adventures based out of a single city. The season stays pretty clean however there is a scene where Eris is playing in the water undressed at Doldia village. There is also a scene where it is implied that Rudeas and Eris had sex but rather than showing it it shows flashbacks of different points in time that they spent together throughout season 1. If you watched the first part of season one I think that this is worth watching as well.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc


While recovering from their last battle at the butterfly mansion, Tanjiro hears screams and runs to find two of the employees being carried by the Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui. The manner in which he carries them gives off the impression that they are being kidnapped. After Tengen explains that he needs girls for a mission of his, Tanjiro proclaims that him, Zenitsu, and Inosuke will go instead of the girls. Tengen agrees to this and brings the three to the Entertainment district. The Entertainment District goes completely silent during the day and thrives at night, making it the perfect hiding place for a demon. Once they arrive Tengen dresses up Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke as girls and sells them to different brothels to find his three wives who have been gathering intel for him. However, once the three start their search they learn that Tengen's wives have disappeared along with a multitude of other women. It doesn't take more than a few days for them to sense demons lurking nearby. Will this mission go off without a hitch, or will Tanjiro and his friends have a repeat of The Mugen Train incident?

When I first heard the name of this arc I thought it would be about a place where there was plays and parties. I did not expect it to take place in a red light district. It kind of had a similar vibe to Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon Season 2. Even though it takes place in a red light district it was surprisingly clean. The only inappropriate part is the way the demon dresses after she transforms. She has some major cleavage, but it isn't as shameless as the fight with the administrator at the end of Sword Art Online Season 3. There is some swearing here and there, but the language stays mostly clean. Overall I would suggest it.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc


After finishing their rehabilitation training Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke are to meet up with the Flame Hashira Kyojiro Rengoku at the Mugen Train. The Mugen Train has been given the name the man-eating train since forty people mysteriously disappeared while aboard it. When the four demon slayers meet up they are mysteriously put to sleep despite there being no signs a demon is on board. It isn't until Tanjiro is woken up with the help of Nezuko's blood that he notices the smell of a demon and finds out that it is one of the twelve Kizuki. Will Tanjiro be able to beat it, or will it go awry just like the last twelve Kizuki he fought?

The Mugen Train Arc of Demon Slayer was really good. I liked the characters more this season because it feels like they are more mature than they were in the first season. Zenitsu cries and complains less, Inosuke seems like less of a battle junkie, and the Hashira seem to posses brains and hearts unlike when Tanjiro first met them at the end of season one. Everybody dresses modestly and there is no swearing throughout the season. I would definitely suggest it if you watched season one and enjoyed it. 

TenPuru: No Way, Why Is It So Big… / You Mustn’t Touch That
