Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator


Rovel is the hero who saved his country from countless monster attacks years ago. However, he has been gone in the spirit world for about ten years. It is there that he married the queen of spirits and had a daughter named Ellen. Now Rovel and Ellen wander the streets disguised with hoods up. Because of how famous the hero is they are easily spotted. Many people desire the hero's return. but Rovel isn't to eager to return to his family in the Vankreif domain. It isn't until Ellen convinces him that they finally go back. Now Ellen gets to meet her grandparents on her father's side, and Rovel has to face his past.

Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator is a lot more fun than I was expecting. Ellen possesses the power to manipulate the elements, which she learned during her time on earth. Her power kind of reminds me of farma from Parallel World Pharmacy. the anime doesn't have any fan service or any swearing. If you enjoy slow life type anime, I would suggest giving it a try.

SHIROHIYO - Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble: Raising My Baby Brother With Memories From My Past Life


Ageha Kikunoi is a 5 year old who up until recently believed that everything would go his way if he threw a temper tantrum. Though after he recalls the memories of his previous life in Japan, he is humbled. In order to apolagize to the many employees he's wronged, he asks each of them to teach him their craft. So at 5 years old Ageha becomes skilled in Sewing, cooking, gardening, and cleaning. He quickly realizes that there is no one in this world who loves him, and the only reason his maids, chef, tutor, and gardener stick around is because his parents are paying them.  Things start to change after Ageha's Father introduces him to Regulus. Regulus is Ageha's half brother who was born between Ageha's father and another woman. While Ageha's mother is reluctant to take Regulus in, Ageha makes a plan that will allow Regulus to grow up alongside him. Will things really turn out all right though?

I had very low expectations going into SHIROHIYO, because every website I looked at gave it a low rating. While it wasn't terrible, it wasn't all that great either. Though it did get better near the end. After it finished, I kind of hoped that there would be a new season announced. The language is clean, and all the characters dress modestly. Even though it wasn't the best fantasy anime I've seen, I still think people should give it a try.

The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World


Keniichi Hamada is summoned one day to another world. All he's left with is the ability to purchase items from his world using the online store Shangri-la. Rather than lose hope because he's not overpowered, he decided to become a merchant and live his ideal slow life. He travels to a town called Dahlia where he sets up his first stall. It is there he meets a girl named Primulla who is the daughter of the head of the Mallow trading company. This starts off a wonderful business relationship between the two merchants.

Now that the summary is over I can finally say what I want. The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World made me uncomfortable as heck. I have no problems with harems, but it felt like every single female character was throwing themselves at this forty year old man. This of course involves the adolescent girls. Now age difference has never really bothered me when it comes to anime. However, a forty year old and ten year old couple is too much for me. I also didn't like that Primulla turns into a stalker halfway through and then Keniichi decides to go and marry her anyway. It was kind of like a rip off of Campfire Cooking in Another World. Also every single episode has a bath scene. So I would suggest staying away from this one.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin


Sakuna is the daughter of the war god Takeribi and the harvest goddess Toyohana. However, she never met them and all she was left with was rice her mother had grown, her divine raiment, and half of her father's blade which took the form of a dog after breaking. She offered her mothers rice once a year to live in the capital of the lofty realm where the gods reside. There she spent her time drinking, sleeping, and playing rather than accomplishing anything. One day a group of humans from the lowly realm wander into the lofty realm. Sakuna tells them to turn back, and then leaves. She later figures out that they didn't heed her words and now the bridge of heaven which connects the two realms has disappeared trapping them in the lofty realm. After a series of mistakes in her attempts to hide the humans, Sakuna ends up blowing up the warehouse where her mothers rice was stored. the head god of the lofty realm Kamihitsuki sends Sakuna along with humans to Hinoe island as punishment. Kamihitsuki tells Sakuna that Hinoe Island is full of demons and their numbers continue to grow. Her new job is to find out why that's happening and to take care of it. 

I wasn't expecting much when I started Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, but I was pleasantly surprised by the anime. While there are other anime that revolve around farming such as Farming Life in Another World and I've Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-related Skills, Of Rice and Ruin felt like a more authentic experience. The anime revolves around rice farming and every episode you learn different aspects of the work that goes into making rice. It also has a good fantasy storyline which keeps the anime interesting. If you like slow life type fantasy anime I would definitely suggest giving this one a try.

Good Bye, Dragon Life


In his previous life Dolan was a dragon who protected humanity. However, he didn't find any joy in life. After dying he asked his friend to reincarnate him as a human. Now he lives in Verun Village spending his days farming and learning magic. One day while Dolan is walking through the forest he meets a Lamia named Celina. She tells Dolan that it is customary for Lamia's to go on a journey and search for a husband once they reach a certain age. As he talked with her more he wanted to bring her to Verun Village, but unfortunately Lamia's are seen as man-eating monsters by the vast majority of people. So after days of offering the village food, they accept her into the village.

Good Bye, Dragon Life was a pretty good anime. While it does present itself as a slice of life anime, it does have quite a bit of action as well. I wouldn't say this is the best anime I have ever seen, but its definitely a relaxing one. There is a bath scene, but besides that the anime doesn't really have any fan service. The language is kept clean as well. I would suggest giving it a try if it sounds interesting to you.

Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools


A girl dies from overworking herself, and is reborn as Dahlia. Dahlia grows up watching her father who is a magic tool artisan. After seeing him show her a magic tool that projects different shapes and creatures as if they were floating, Dahlia makes it her goal to become a magic tool artisan as well. She has different ideas based on the things she experienced on earth, but her real success came when she created waterproof fabric using slimes. However, not everything always goes how you plan it to. Will Dahlia achieve her dreams?

Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools was better than I expected. It feels different from other slow life anime because slow life anime usually have jobs that aren't that uncommon in the real world like farming or running a store. Dahlia in Bloom is basically about an inventor which hasn't really been done before. The anime is wholesome. All the characters dress modestly and the language remains clean as well. If you are a fan of slow life anime I would give this one a try.

Re:Monster


After being stabbed over and over Tomokui Kanata wakes up side by side next to a group of goblin babies. It doesn't take him long to realize he has been reincarnated as a goblin and given the name Gobrou. He learns that goblins grow by evolving. So with the help of of his friend Gobkichi he manages to catch bigger monsters than what would have been possible on his own. He has another secret, and that is his ability to gain the skills of whatever monster he eats from his past life stayed with him. It is only a few days until he is made the leader of the Goblin village. While he has the ability to obtain unlimited strength, will he be able to save everyone?

Re:Monster was very interesting to watch. When I heard that it was about a goblin that gains monsters abilities by eating them I was expecting it to be like Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest. However, it turned out to be more like a mix of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and Redo of Healer. While it never shows anything on the level of Redo of Healer it doesn't hide what Gobrou is doing with the ladies either. In other words you hear the girls moaning, but the scene is blocked as if they are in a private room and all you see is the door. Besides that Gobrou's goal is just to help his friends get stronger. When they successfully do this they make their own Mercenary group called Parabellum. There are some things to be aware of like hot spring scenes in episodes 6 and 11, as well as loose clothing that exposes a lot of skin which isn't uncommon in Isekai anime's. Overall, I thought it was a unique story and worth the watch.

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.

Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside Season 2


On a sunny day Rit, Ruti, and Red go up a mountain to see if they can find a blue sapphire to be made into an engagement ring for Rit. Meanwhile Godwin takes Yarandrala into Zoltan where she believes red and Rit are. However, after a guard informs her that Godwin once tried to attack them she turns on him and is prepared to kill him until she is stopped by Tisse. Tisse informs her that they have traveled to the Wall at The World's End. After Yarandrala calms down, her and Tisse set off for The Wall at the World's End where they meet up with Ruti, Rit, and Red. It is there they learn that the blue sapphire can't be acquired due to a gem beast that has been turning all the gemstones to lead. This has caused problems for the Gem Giants who protect the mountain. Will the group find a way to beat the beast and save the gem giants from extinction?

Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside Season 2 was better than I was expecting. The whole season remains pretty clean except for a few parts. There is a hot springs scene, a bath scene, as well as clothes worn that reveal cleavage. Besides that it was really good. The language is also kept clean. Tisse remains the best character in my opinion, but the change you get to see in Ruti is also amazing. If you liked the first season I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp


After dying in her old world, Elise is reborn as Aoi Takamoto, where she spends her life devoting herself to the study of medicine. People even start to believe that she is the best doctor in the world. But after falling from a plane she is sent back to the body of Elise. Rather than becoming queen and meeting a bad end, Elise is determined to use the skills she learned on earth to become a doctor so she can save those she couldn't in her first life. However, the king is determined to make her the future queen so they make a wager. If Elise can prove she is more valuable to the kingdom as a doctor rather than as queen, he will allow her to pursue the path of medicine. But she has to do it before her eighteenth birthday, will she have enough time to show the value of the knowledge she obtained on earth?

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp was surprisingly good. It is the best medicine anime after Parallel World Pharmacy in my opinion. I also like how it has a similar feel to Tearmoon Empire with the whole concept of going back as herself rather than being reborn as someone else. Everyone dresses modestly and the language is clean. If you like slow life anime's, I would definitely suggest giving Doctor Elise a try.

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!


Rische Irmgard Weitzner has lived six lives, and each one has been ended due to a war brought about by Prince Arnold Hein. When she is dumped by her fiance in her seventh life she is seen by Arnold Hein who proposes to her and invites her to come to his country. She agrees on the condition that she is allowed to do what she wants, and he not lay a finger on her. The first thing she does is get reacquainted with the merchants she worked for in her first life. However, things don't go as smoothly as they originally did when they found her running away from the castle in her first life. Will she be able to meet their expectations?

7th Time Loop: The Villainess njoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! was really good. Though unlike most villainess anime's there is no indication that Rische is actually a villainess. 7th Time Loop has a similar feel to Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion. Both the language and the way people dressed throughout the season was wholesome. If you are a fan of other villainess anime I would definitely give this one a try.

Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 3


Winter is coming...and Myne has done little to prepare for it. Her focus has been on how she can create a letterpress to mass produce books. So when a Blacksmith asks her to be his patron she sees it as her chance. Meanwhile she is called to participate in a raid by the Head Priest. Due to the High Priests medaling some of the soldiers don't believe she isn't deserving of her blue robes. This gets her into trouble when a knight ends up cutting her which summons a trombe that starts to devour her. After the knights and head priest free her she shows her power by bring the vast amount of forest back which had turned desolate due to the trombe they had originally come to raid. This just makes the High priest more angry to the point that he is willing to break the law set by the lord of the land. Will Myne be able to continue living the way she desires?

Ascendance of a bookworm Season 3 was absolutely amazing. You get to see Myne use magic a lot more which I really enjoyed. The Story took a turn at the end which I was absolutely not expecting. I also liked the development of Delia when she meets Dirk. Both the language and the way the characters dress stay clean. I would definitely suggest this season if you liked the previous two. 

Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 2


Myne starts her apprenticeship as a priestess at the cathedral. While her demands to live at home, and retain her connection to the merchants guild were met, The high priest held a grudge and gave Myne a retainer named Delia that would give her trouble. She was also given a retainer named Fran by the head priest, and a boy named Gil who was from the orphanage. None of them see Myne as their master, until Fran learns the head priest gave Myne Fran as a retainer because he trusts him. She gains the trust of Gil after he shows her the orphanage where the kids have been abandoned, and she decides to become the orphanage director to help them. Delia becomes loyal to Myne after the high priest abandons her and Myne still keeps her despite knowing she was a spy.

The second season of Ascendance of a Bookworm was even better than the first. This is an anime where every episode you watch is better than the one before it. I really enjoyed seeing her apprenticeship. Showing a worlds religion and how it's run really helps give the story depth in my opinion. While this anime has very few action scenes, they all help to build the story and the world up. Everyone dresses modestly in this season as well. There are a few swear words here and there though. Anyway I would definitely suggest watching this if you enjoyed the first season.

Ascendance of a Bookworm


Urano Motosu was a regular girl who loved to spend all her time reading books, until she is crushed by a bunch of falling books in a library. Before she died she wished that she could be reborn in a world where she could be surrounded by books. She then wakes up in the body of Myne, a frail and sickly girl who barely has the stamina to leave the house. After shopping with her mother, Myne learns that books are only available to nobles and are rarely seen by commoners. So she decides that if she can't obtain a book, she'll just have to make it herself. Watch as Myne uses the vast knowledge from her previous life to fulfill her goals.

Ascendance of a Bookworm was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. It is kind of slow starting out, but if you get past the first few episodes it becomes really interesting. Ascendance of a Bookworm is a slow life anime because the majority of it is her creating a business where she makes and sells products from her old world in this new one. Everyone dresses modestly, and there are is no fan service. It does swear a few times though. If you are into Isekai's like Parallel World Pharmacy and The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, I think you would enjoy Ascendance of a Bookworm as well.

Restaurant to Another World


Western Restaurant Nekoya seems like a cafe that wouldn't look out of place to most. However, Nekoya has a secret. Every Saturday a door to the restaurant appears all over a fantasy world. After being driven out of the city to a ruins where not even the impoverished live, a demon girl wanders in. The Master of the restaurant hires her to be a waitress so she can get back on her feet. As she works she sees Humans, Elves, Fairies, Lizardmen, and even lions eating together without worrying about what goes on in the outside world.

Restaurant to Another World was different from other fantasy food anime's I have seen, like Princess Connect Re:Dive and Campfire Cooking in Another World. It has a very laid back feel to it. It is also more episodic and lacks an overall story. This makes it a good show to watch over time since each episode is unique. Every Episode introduces a different character along with a different dish. I liked that they did this because you still get to learn about the fantasy world even though the focus is on the restaurant. There is some mild nudity when the black dragon kuro is introduced, as well as in episode 6 there is a brief shower scene where the demon girl Aletta talks about how her day usually goes. Overall if you are looking for a food anime that is slower paced this could be right for you.

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent Season 2


Sei continues working on not only her potions but on her cosmetics as well. They become so popular that Johan suggests that Sei start her own company. The main reason is that selling her cosmetics anonymously has caused things to become difficult between merchants as everyone wants to profit off of her products. After taking Johan's advice and traveling to Morgenhaffen to start her business, she meets a trader who has had a crew member badly injured to the point where potions aren't enough to heal him. Sei wants to help but she is banned from using healing magic as it would reveal her identity as the saint which is supposed to be a state secret. So she gives him one of her potions and tells them to try it. The potion works and word is sent to the Prince of Zaidera. Now he has come to Salutania as a transfer student looking for the alchemist who made the potion. Will Sei be able to keep her identity a secret?

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent Season 2 is just as good as Season 1. The whole thing is wholesome. While it starts out feeling like it is going to be a Slow Life anime, it actually retains its slice of life feel like it did in the first season. The only inappropriate part is where Sei goes to a hot springs around episode eleven. The language is kept clean as well. I would highly suggest it if you liked the first season.

I Shall Survive Using Potions!


Kaoru Nagase died early due to a distortion in space. While she could not be put back on Earth, she is given the option to live in a world called Verny. Thanks to the Goddess letting her choose what power she is given, Kaoru chooses to have the ability to make any potion she wants with whatever effects she wants. She can also make potion bottles that looks however she imagines. For additional help she is given the ability to read, write, speak, and understand every language on Verny. Though when she arrives Kaoru learns that magic is a lot less prominent than she had expected. This makes people underestimate her potions. Will Kaoru find a way to live the laid-back life she wanted?

I Shall Survive Using Potions is written by the same author that made "Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement" and "Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?" both of which are very good. Except for a hot spring scene the anime is super clean and wholesome. It is mainly a slow life Isekai since a lot of the time Kaoru works in different stores to make her money. There is some swearing but it is only here and there. I would definitely suggest it if you are looking for a fun new Isekai to watch.

Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen Flips the Script


The Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen returns. This time a new store has opened up and is stealing the customers of the Armor Shop. Curious as to why Flareika, Liliette, Kurtz, Nard, and the Demon King decide to check it out. They find a place with countless shopping options and get stuck in a room after choosing a board. Seeing no way out the staff of the Armor Shop decide to look around and find a picture of four people with a flower. It is then that the walls open up to reveal a fan like machine spinning out of control. Will they be able to make it out unharmed?

Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen Flips the Script was more enjoyable than I was expecting it to be. While the anime was mostly clean there is a scene in the first episode where Kurtz puts on x-ray glasses which makes it appear as though his colleagues aren't wearing clothes. While Nard is the main one it focuses on, there is a short few seconds where Kurtz looks at Liliette and her chest is revealed. Besides that the anime stays clean. The language is clean throughout it as well. Overall this is something I would feel comfortable suggesting if you don't mind minor fan service. The story is cute as well. While it differs from the main series, it still maintains its charm.

KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World


After being thrown in the ocean by his father as a ritual for his questionable religion, Yukito wishes to live in a world where the concept of God doesn't exist. The next thing he knows there is a girl leaning over him and shaking his body. She apologizes over and over once he wakes up. Believing that he has been placed in your typical RPG Style world Yukito starts looking for an adventurers guild as well as some way to use magic. However, this world seems to be devoid of that as well. So Yukito spends his days farming and learning more until his friends are kidnapped and sentenced to death by the capital. As he stares at Aruraru and Shiruriru who gave him a place to stay and became his first friends lying on the floor he wishes that it was them that had survived rather than him. At that moment Mitama who was the god of Yukito's father's religion falls from the sky swallows up the angry mob surrounding them and brings Aruraru and Shiruriru back to life. After that Yukito is determined to protect the village that he and his friends live in. He does this by making Mitama's presence and power known. The number of followers a god has determines their power. Will Mitama be able to gain enough power to protect the village from the corrupt empire?

This isn't like your typical Isekai anime. It has a really dark feeling, and goes away from your usual magic and adventurer storyline. It is more of a Slow Life anime. It kind of has the feeling of High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World, when they try and make Akatsuki their god. However, rather than doing it for one episode this does it for the majority of the series. Kamikatsu does have a lot of swearing. It also has a lot of questionable content which is somewhat censored. Episodes six through eight are particularly bad since they try and take over a religion that is based on lust. The leader of that cult has the power to make people fall in love to the point where it's out of their physical and mental control, So if you do decide to watch this I would just be aware that its more ecchi than a lot of other anime's. Rather than having questionable content in one or two episodes this one has it for just about every episode.

Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen Season 2


Kurtz and the gang are all outside the store when they see a piece of armor fall from the sky. This armor starts talking but has lost its memory. Since the armor ends every sentence with mamo, Lilietta decides to name it Mamori and use it as her personal hairpin. As the story goes on the Armor shop's finances begin to improve and Kurtz continues to meet new customers like the elf Celes, a witch named Mina, and even Narden's Master who was mentioned in the first season.

Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen Season 2 was pretty similar to season 1 in how the story played out. However, each episode has three parts. The first part is the main story, the second part is a side story of how Flare gets sucked into the world of movies and has to find her way out, and the third is the main story with commentary. Rather than watching all ten minutes I skipped the commentary on each episode which allowed me to finish it faster. It has just as much fan service as the first season did. There is a bath scene with Flare and all the customers who try on the bikini armor as well.  You can decide whether to watch it or not depending on how you feel about fan service and if you liked season 1 or not.
