My Dress-Up Darling Season 2


When Suzuka tells Marin about a studio she used for one of her cosplays, Marin decides to give the studio a try as well. She asks Wakana Gojo to make her a bunny suit costume for the character Arisa Izayoi from the anime We're the Tsukiyomi Company. After using the studio, she decides to wear it to a halloween party with friends from her class at school. In the middle of Karaoke, Nowa asks them if the two of them are going out. Naturally both are shocked by the sudden quesstion. But Gojo's response to it hurts Marin more than just the question being asked.

My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 was fun to watch. It felt similar to season 1 in that they do different cosplays, go to events, meet new cosplayers, and learn more about different aspects of cosplaying that they didn't know about. The characters are fun to watch and there was less fan service than there was in season 1. There is a bath scene and a shower scene though, as well as clothes with cleavage. If you enjoyed the first season, you should give season 2 a try as well.

Ladies Versus Butlers


It's Akiharu Hino's forst day at Hakureiryou Academy where he has transferred to become a butler. However, he happens to meet Selnia Iora Flameheart who trips and in his attempt to save her ends up earning her Ire as he falls on top of her. Rumors spread wildly about Akiharu being someone who will do unthinkable things to you if you let your guard down. Right as he is about to be captured by all the girls in the school Tomimi Saikyo steps in saying that Akiharu was always kind growing up and that he doesn't have bad intentions. With that things settle down. But, everyone keeps their distance from him giving him little opportunity to practice his skills as a butler. In what seems to be an act of kindness Tomimi says that she will help him on his journey through school. Though Akiharu knows that Tomimi's true nature is not so magnanimous as she makes it out to be. She always has an ulterior motive when making a decision. Will Akiharu ever be able to have a normal school life?

There are a lot of things I want to say about Ladies Verses Butlers. At first it has a To Love Ru kind of feel with how clumsy Akiharu seems to be. It also has the feel of anime's where I guy goes to school and happens to be the only guy there like Infinite Stratos and Shomin Sample. It also has the tropey characters like the girl who pretends to be a boy like Charlotte in Infinite Stratos. The girl who always thinks the mc is shameless like Yui Kotegawa in To Love Ru. The short girl who is a high schooler but looks like a child like Hakua Shiadome in Shomin Sample. I really started to like it toward the end. I was hoping that Selnia and Akiharu would get together, but I was disappointed with an ending that makes you think "Is that it?". I don't regret watching this, but I wouldn't suggest it either. Not to mention there is an absurd amount of fan service which kind of felt like Rosario + Vampire. It has bath scenes, shower scenes, a hot spring episode, a beach episode, as well as many locker room scenes. Unless harem anime's where the boy goes to an all girls school is your preference, you can probably skip this one.

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!


Tsubasa Shiki has just moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido. On the way to his new house he stops the cab and gets out, thinking that it will only be a short walk to his new home. In the snow he runs into Minami Fuyuki who tells him that the place he wants to go to is actually three hours away if you walk. So he stays with her as he waits for the bus to come. He learns that Minami actually attends the same school that he will be transferring to. When he goes to school the following day he learns that they are actually seat neighbors in the same class.

I went into this with super low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. The first few episodes made it look like it was going to be a romance with a single couple, but it turned into a Harem anime. However, Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable didn't make one of the mistakes that I dislike about Harem anime and that's the girls fighting between each other. It did make the second mistake that a lot of Harems have and that is that there was no romantic progression. I would have liked to have seen Minami and Tsubasa at least hold hands. It was mostly visually clean, but there was a bath scene and a shower scene. Anyway if some minor fan service doesn't bother you, I think it is worth giving a try.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Season 2


Its been over a year since the last episode of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You ended. As a way to mix things up and keep things interesting Kusuri created a drug that changed your personality. However, it backfired and instead had all the girlfriends swap bodies with each other. While it wasn't intentional to swap bodies it had the same effect that the girlfriends were hoping for. As Rentaro goes to get lunch he runs into a middle schooler who had forgotten their wallet. So he decided to split his lunch with her. As he looks into her eyes he realizes that she is another one of his soulmates.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Season 2 was super fun to watch. probably my favorite episode was where everyone goes to karaoke together. Something that became common was that Karane and Hakari became a lot closer this season, which I really liked. Though once episode twelve came out I think that Kusuri became my favorite girlfriend. There is some fan service throughout the season like a bath scene as well as Hahari and Hakari's suggestive language. If you try to avoid things with fan service you can skip this one. However, I think that this is my favorite Harem anime of all time. The main character isn't dense to the girlfriends feelings and all the girlfriends are likeable characters in my opinion. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Kiss x Sis


Keita Suminoe has two sisters named Ako and Riko. While they grew up together all three are from prior marriages so there is no blood relationship between them. While Keita just wants to study so he can get into high school, Riko and Ako do everything in their power to show how much they adore him. Ako and Riko do things like make his meals, take him out to karaoke, as well as try to protect him from girls who want to get close to him. Will Keita be able to achieve his goals, or will his sisters attempts to show him they love him become distractions? 

Now I just want to say that this one you probably want to avoid. I looked at this because the name made me think it was a yuri anime. However, this was not a yuri anime and is so bad I would put it among the ranks of anime like Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia, World's End Harem, and Peter Grill and the Philosophers Time. It's not as bad as Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World though. There is a lot of french kissing throughout the anime. It also includes a beach scene, a hot springs episode, a bathhouse episode, and much more. Some people complained about The World's Strongest Tank having weird vibes due to how much Rud loves his little sister, but that is nothing compared to this. Even the flirting between Miyuki and Tatsuya in The Irregular at Magic High School looks like tame compared to this. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone. By the way this is about the OVA series not the TV series of Kiss x Sis.
