An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess

Cecil Glo Alphasta is a prince who has grown tired of the world due to his high intelligence, which helps him understand anything after hearing it once. One day he meets his Fiancée, Bertia Ibil Noches who claims that she's a villainess that is destined to try and tear apart his future love, the heroine. Since Cecil doesn't understand a word she's saying, he begins to become amused with what Bertia says and does.  Due to this he spends time with her going on various dates where he listens to what she says, and acts so that the future events where tragedy strikes cease to be a problem. But will Cecil have the power to change Bertia's mindset that the game's story is absolute? 

An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess was really good. I typically enjoy the reincarnated as a villainess trope, but I dropped this one while it was airing. After giving it another try once it finished, the story kept me entertained the whole time. I feel like I can relate to Cecil to some degree, which made me want to see him find happiness even more. Bertia and Cecil are pretty funny. The anime is wholesome and there isn't any swearing. If you enjoy the reincarnated as a villainess trope, I would definitely suggest giving it 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.  

My Hero Academia Season 2

The U.A. Sports Festival is just around the corner. However, due to the attack from the League of Villains, there is doubt about whether it should be held or not. Ultimately the school decides that it's too important an event to just stop because the school was attacked. Instead they decide to make the school more secure. The U. A. Sports Festival is a chance for students to show their skills they've learned during their time at the Academy. Not just the Hero track, but business, general studies, and support are included in the competition as well. Pretty soon people start declaring war on each other. First Shinso from General Studies challenges the students of Class 1-A. Then Todoroki challenges Deku, followed by Iida declaring that he'll beat Deku as well. Will Deku be able to come out on top despite his disadvantage of breaking his bones every time he uses his quirk?

My Hero Academia Season 2 was just as good as Season 1, maybe even better. I absolutely loved the sports festival as well as the internships that follow in the second cour of the season. The humor is absolutely hilarious in dub. While there are some adult jokes, there isn't any lewd scenes. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch.

Umayuru: Pretty Gray

Tamamo Cross and Oguri Cap create a takoyaki stand at the school festival. However, due to Oguri's voracious appetite all of the sauce is used up in the taste testing stage. Thanks to Gold Ship and Mejiro McQueen sharing their yakisoba ingredients, the four are able to come up with a unique dish together. 

Umayuru: Pretty Gray was fun to watch. While I wish Tomomo Cross and Oguri played a bigger part, I enjoyed learning about Umamusume that weren't part of the Cinderella Gray anime. If you enjoyed Umamusume: Cinderella Gray I would definitely suggest giving this a try. However, it's not directly connected to Cinderella Gray, so even if you haven't watched the anime, you could still enjoy it. 

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.

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.

When Will Ayumu Make His Move?

Ayumu Tanaka is in the Shogi club with his senpai Urushi Yaotome. He fell for her the first time he saw her. Ayumu then made a promise that he would confess his feelings when he is able to beat her in a game of Shogi. Unfortunately, Ayumu is terrible at Shogi. He studies using books that Urushi has recommended to him, but his progress is slow. Despite this internal promise he has no issues displaying his feelings outwardly. Will Ayumu ever get a chance to confess his love?

When Will Ayumu Make His Move? was actually a really good romance anime. I really enjoyed the laid back feeling it has. Despite them never actually becoming a couple, Ayumu and Urushi actually make a lot of romantic progress. I actually read some of the manga prior to watching it, so I knew what to expect. This was probably part of why I enjoyed it. The anime has almost no fan service in it. It does have a short bath scene at the end of the season though. I would still highly recommend it if you are looking for a new romance anime to watch.

Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You Season 2

After Their date on New Years, things seem to be going super well for Shota Kazehaya and Sawako Kuronuma. Not Long after Valentines Day Arrives. It seems like the perfect opportunity to confess your love to the person you love. While Sawako does make chocolates for Shota, she's too shy to give it to him right away. However, she is able to give chocolates to everyone else quite naturally. Shota becomes Jealous seeing all his friends with Sawako's chocolate, when he hasn't received any. While Sawako prepares to give it to him, she runs into Kurumi who tells her that Shota doesn't accept confession chocolates. While she had originally meant it as a thank you, Sawako realizes that she did hope that making Shota chocolate would allow them to get closer. In the end, she didn't give him the chocolate, and Shota takes it to mean that Sawako doesn't care about him.

Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You Season 2 was cute, but a bit disappointing. When I say disappointing, I mean they could have confessed  during the first episode and everything would have worked out, but they made it unnecessarily complicated. Though I feel like what happened feels more real than what other Romance anime show. I can understand from my past experience that it is hard to confess, and to do things when you really like someone. However, I was really hoping that they could just be honest and communicate clearly. There is no fan service and the language is clean.  I would still suggest giving it a watch, especially if you liked Season 1. It ended on a satisfying note, and it made everything worth it. 

Pan de Peace!

Minami Tani loves bread. As she arrives at her new high school, she sees a girl with different bread keychains named Yuu Izawa. Minami then asks her to become bread buddies. Not long after Yuu is approached by Fuyumi Fukugawa and Noa Sakura. Minami asks them all to become her bread buddies and asks them to go somewhere after school. The place they go to is Fuwa Fuyu, the bakery that Fuyumi's parents own. Thanks to that, Minami learns both how to cook bread and the joy that comes with eating different kinds of bread she's never heard of before with her new friends.

Pan de Peace was nice. It has a fun story and the episodes all blend together really well. I didn't feel unsatisfied at all with the ending. There is a pool scene, and a bath scene. Besides that it's really fun and wholesome. The language is clean as well. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

The Seven Heavenly Virtues

The Seven Heavenly Virtues have come down to earth to search for a messiah. Sandalphon, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, Sariel, Metatron, and Michael each find someone to train. While their goal is to prepare for the upcoming war, both the angels and the messiah canditates tend to get distracted. Some messiah canditates, deal with exams, some with sicknesses, and others with work. Will the Seven Heavenly Virtures find the human they need to conquer the Seven Mortal Sins?

The Seven Heavenly Virtues takes place in the same universe that The Seven Mortal Sins does. The Sin of Sloth Belphegor even makes an appearance. Though I wouldn't say you need to watch The Seven Mortal Sins to be able to watch this. The Seven Heavenly Virtues isn't a continuation of The Seven Mortal Sins. I will say that the majority of the anime is Ecchi content. So if you don't like fan service you can skip this series. However, if you don't mind watching Ecchi anime, I found myself laughing pretty hard during the show.

Takamiya Nasuno Desu!

Over Summer Vacation Nasuno Takamiya asks Yuri's brother Yota to work as her butler. After accepting she shows him around her mansion and has him complete various tasks for her. He helps clean the library, find restaurants, and attends to her needs wherever she spontaneously decides to travel to.

Takamiya Nasuno Desu! was fun to watch. As you might have guessed it's another Teekyu Spinoff like Usakame. However, this has Nasuno as  the main character. I was happy about this because I feel like when I watched Teekyu nothing was revealed about Nasuno's Private life, whereas there were plenty of scenes in Teekyu that focused on what Yuri, Marimo, and Kanae did away from school. The anime is mostly clean, though there are a few scenes where characters wear swimsuits. If you enjoyed Teekyu and Usakame, I would definitely suggest giving Takamiya Nasuno Desu! a try as well. 

Ranma1/2 (2024) Season 2

Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo are back. This time Shampoo is more determined than ever to make Ranma her own. She even brings her grandma who is a skilled master of martial arts to help her get into a relationship with Ranma. Together Shampoo and her grandma start a cat cafe where Ranma works, in hopes of curing the affects of his curse.

Ranma 1/2 Season 2 was just as good as season 1. It had a unique feel you don't get from modern romance animes. Not only is the art style unique, but the character names, and overall premise feel new. While I'm not a huge fan of Tsundere's, Ranma 1/2 Season 2 has enough unique elements to counteract that for me. While there is recognizable tropes like Harems and gender bending, you can't help but love it. There is quite a bit of fan service throughout it, just like season 1. There are bath scenes, hot spring scenes, and just random moments of Ranma transforming into a girl. I would definitely suggest it if you are looking for an anime that has a good balance of action and romance.

Isekai Quartet Season 3

The Characters from Konosuba, Overlord, The Saga of Tanya the Evil, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and Re:zero are back. With this new page in their school life they learn that more transfer students have come to their school. Characters who's names bear a resemblance to the subordinates of Ains Ooal Gown, along with a mysterious man named Shadow who randomly appears from time to time.

Isekai Quartet Season 3 was fun. However, it didn't seem as great as the first two seasons. I think my expectations were too high when I learned that the characters from the Eminence in Shadow would be joining the cast this season. It still had the same vibe as the first two seasons though. The language and visuals were both clean. If you enjoyed the first two seasons, I would suggest giving Season 3 a try.

High School DxD HERO (Season 4)

Akeno, Rias,  and Koneko all want some time alone with Issei since he will be leaving for Kyoto with Kiba, Asia, and Xenovia for his class trip. Meanwhile Sairaorg lets the Gremory Peerage know that a Ratings Game is being arranged unrestrained from the typical rules so he can fight Issei without holding anything back. Before they leave Rias gives them passes that allow them to visit the various temples in Kyoto. However, They are mistaken for criminals upon their arrival to the temple. Will everything turn out alright?

High School DxD Season 4 was fun. It has a bad reputation due to the change in animation, but the voice acting and story were still good. The Rating Game with Sairaorg was awesome. It kind of gave me the same vibes as the tournament in The Asterisk War. It goes without saying that there is tons of fan service in it, just like the other three seasons. If you enjoyed the first three seasons of High School DxD then you should try giving the fourth one a try as well. 

Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right

Luna Ishikawa is a cool vampire that catches the attention of everyone around her. However, when her seat neighbor Tatsuda Otori gets put on cleaning duty with her he learns that her vampire persona that she puts on is taken from a manga, and she is bad at sucking blood. Once Tatsuda learns this he offers to be her practice partner in helping improve her ability to suck blood. They soon become best friends and participate in things they had previously thought were impossible.

Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right is a fun anime. It kind of reminds me of Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms, Aharen-San Wa Hakarenai, and My Dress-Up Darling. There is no fan service and the language is completely clean. I would definitely suggest it if you are looking for a good slice of life anime.

Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!

In this world everyone gets assigned a class that determines their future. However, when the day comes for Arel to get his class, he is classless. This doesn't break his spirit at all though. He becomes motivated to prove that effort is more effective than having skills handed to you.

Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?! was fun to watch. It was kind of a blend between Adventuring anime, and magic school anime. The fights are good, but it feels like they are over too quickly in my opinion. If you like fantasy anime, I still believe it's worth giving a try.

Secrets of the Silent Witch

Monica Everett is known as the Silent Witch, and is the youngest member of the Seven Sages. These seven wizards are the most powerful wizards and witches in the country, and each specializes in a different type of magic. Due to her shyness, Monica learned to cast magic without chanting. However she has shut herself away in a hut in the mountains, until another one of the Seven Sages comes to her with an offer to protect the second prince of the kingdom without him figuring out her real identity. Unable to say no, Monica accepts the job. She pretends to be the sister of Isabelle Norton, the daughter of the lord of a land she had recently saved from a dragon attack. Will Monica be able to come out of her shell so that she can hide amongst the magic academy students, while also protecting the prince?

Secrets of the Silent Witch was super good. It had a similar feel to other magic academy anime like The Gorilla God's Go-to Girl and My Next Life as the Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom. All the characters are lovable in my opinion. Everybody dresses modestly and the language is clean.  It has a real relaxing feel to it, so it is something I would definitely suggest watching. 

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.

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It r=1-sinθ (Season 2)

After finding out that thier results for the Oxytocin experiment aren't what they expected, the Ikeda lab visits the biology department where they meet Suiu Fujiwara and Chris Floret. Suiu happens to be well versed in analyzing dna samples, so they ask this new couple for help in their research on what the base conditions for love are. Chris and Suiu are happy to participate, but when Ayame and Shinya see that there is a huge gap between Chris and Suiu's verses their own Oxytocin Levels they start to question if what they feel for each other really is love.

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It Season 2 wasn't as great as season 1, but it was still fun to watch.  New characters are introduced in this season which make the story become more interesting. Its fun to see more of the college students lives. I particularly enjoyed the episode where Ayame and Shinya follow Kanade and Naoya on their date along with ten other couples for research purposes. The season remains mostly clean, though there are a few scenes where Suiu wears revealing clothes. If you liked Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.
