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.

Killed again, Mr. Detective.

Sakuya Outsuki is the son of the world famous detective Tatsuya Outsuki. However, while Sakuya is a detective, he isn't acknowledged as a good one by criminals, police officers, and detectives alike. The only person who is willing to stay by his side is his assistant Lilithea. One day he gets put on a case trying to uncover if a famous producer is cheating. He gets a ticket to a cruise liner where the producer is staying. It is there that he meets an actress named Yuriu Haigamine who is preparing for a role as a detective in movie. She asks to be Sakuya's apprentice after finding out that he is a detective himself. She then asks for his help looking for a lost cat that belongs to the producer that Sakuya is investigating. As he searches, he finds his way into a storage room where he is killed after finding a dead body. He then wakes up in the lap of his assistant Lilithea, ready to put his all into finding the murderer.

I originally started this because I heard that it had the same vibe as Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions. It is similar, in the sense that it's the complete opposite of Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions. Instead of having a power to make the murderer kill themselves, Sakuya is the one always getting killed. There is an arc that takes place at a hotel, which kind of reminded me of the hot spring inn case in Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions as well. Overall I was a bit disappointed because I had my expectations set to high. It also felt a bit slower to me, meaning it lacked the sense of anticipation of finding out what happens next. While people typically dress modestly throughout the anime, there is a scene at the beginning of episode four where you see Lilithea in her underwear. If you decide to watch it and you don't like fan service, I would suggest skipping the first few minutes of episode four. While it wasn't for me, it might be just the thing for you if you enjoy mystery anime.

The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife

Akira Tonome and Shizuka Yako work together at Tonome Detective Agency. One day after Akira had finished his investigations, he asks Shizuka to go out to dinner with him. Things proceed to go back to normal the next day. However, Shizuka finds herself wanting to spend more time with Akira. So he starts walking her home, and bringing her to restaurants. They initially try to keep their work and dating life separate, but eventually stop trying to hide it when their coworkers tell them to act however they want around them.

The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife was better than I was expecting. I don't typically enjoy adult romance anime, but this one was fun. Unlike most adult romances that take place in an office, you actually get to see the investigations in a world filled with various species. It reminds me a little bit of The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague. Though I will say that the relationship moved a little too fast for me. It is mostly wholesome, however, there is a bath scene, as well as a hot spring scene. If that doesn't bother you, I would suggest giving it a try.

My Hero Academia: Training of the Dead

Tsuya Asui looks back to a moment back before she was a student at U. A. High School. When she was in middle school she met a girl named Habuko Mongoose and became friends after Habuko started following her around. Later, After Class 1-A had returned from their internships four students from Isami High School visit to do a joint survival training. Among the four visiting students was Habuko Mongoose. After splitting into groups of four, the students head into a forest area where they try to be the last one to survive by either tying up a team or avoiding conflict until the time runs out.

My Hero Academia: Training of the Dead was pretty fun to watch. I was not expecting it to take a supernatural turn in the middle of the episode, but that should have been obvious from the title. The episode is mostly wholesome. The only bad thing is that Momo's hero outfit is kind of revealing. If you don't mind cleavage, I would definitely suggest giving the episode a try.

My Hero Academia: Save! Rescue Training

After the League of Villains attacked the USJ the Heroes of Class 1-A return to where it happened. This time, Thirteen and Eraser Head plan to have the students practice rescue training! They do this by having Deku, Ochako, and Iida pretend to be victims in an accident while Bakugo, Momo, Shota, and Fumikage act as the heroes rescuing them. After all the students participate rescuing each other from a deep crevice in the ground, they move on to a run down city environment where sixteen students will hide, while four try to find them.

My Hero Academia: Save! Rescue Training takes place between seasons 1 & 2. I just didn't watch it until after I had already finished season 2. I thought it was fun to see what would have happened that day had the villains not shown up and disturbed their class. This episode was created for Jump Festa 2016 and they break the fourth wall a couple of times referring to it. The episode is mostly clean, but there is a short clip where you see Momo's panties as she's looking down the crevice in the ground. I would definitely suggest giving it a watch. 

Marika's Love Meter Malfunction

One night while Kanata is with his childhood friend, Marika, they see a shooting star. After realizing that he's very unpopular, Kanata wishes that he could tell how much girls like him, like in a dating simulator. The next day he wakes up, and he can see all the girls love meters. However, when he looks at Marika's, it's like everything is draining out. Kanata believes this must be because she hates him. However, Marika loves Kanata so much that it can't be measured. Will Marika and Kanata be able to get together, or will misunderstandings keep them apart? 

Marika's Love Meter Malfunction was  pretty entertaining for an anime where the episodes are only five minutes long. There are multiple beach scenes, a bath scene, as well as other ecchi tropes like Marika only wearing an apron as she cooks in the kitchen. If you don't like ecchi anime, you can skip over this one. If lewd scenes don't bother you, then it might be worth a try.

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.

Hell’s Paradise Season 2

Gabiru, Gantetsu, Nurugai, Yuzuriha, and Mei have decided to work with the Yamada Asaemon executioners to escape the island. Meanwhile The Shogunate have given up on the group of criminals that made it to the island. They decide to send in all the Iwagakure Ninja's they can find to Shinsenkyo along with four Yamada Asaemon Executioners. The Iwagakure, in exchange with working together with the Shogunate have been given permission to kill anyone they find on the island. Will Gabimaru and the other criminals be able to make it out alive?

Hell's Paradise Season 2 was absolutely crazy. After the first season I didn't think that there would be much left of the story, and in a sense I was right. A large portion of season 2 is just the characters getting into fights. The fights are cool, but without them, Season 2 probably would have only been about three or four episodes long. There are a lot of scenes where characters wear little to no clothing. This is mostly done by the Tensen and but you do see gantetsu and Yuzuriha shirtless. While the lewd scenes are important to the story, I still think they overdid it. If you don't like fighting or fan service, I would suggest skipping  this one. However, if you enjoyed Season 1, I would suggest giving it a watch.  

The Holy Grail of Eris

Constance Grail is from a viscount family that is broke. In an attempt to have the families debts paid off, Constance is engaged to the son of a merchant. However, Constance sees him kissing another girl before a party. The Grail family motto is "Be you sincere" and Constance embodies it perfectly. This caused Pamela to be jealous and frame her for stealing something she didn't. Just as it seemed all hope was lost, the ghost of a woman named Scarlett Castiel appears and clears Connie of any suspicion and pins the blame on Pamela. When Constance wakes up the next morning, Scarlett tells her that in exchange for getting out of the situation she was in, Constance will spend her life getting revenge on all the people who killed her 10 years ago. Will someone so softhearted be able to fulfill a vengeful ghosts wishes?

The Holy Grail of Eris was a lot more entertaining than I had previously imagined. I don't often watch revenge anime, but I thorougly enjoyed this one. I enjoyed that there are so many pieces to the puzzle that they were somehow able to solve in 12 episodes. While it doesn't have any lewd scenes, it does have a lot of crime involved. I would definitely suggest giving it a try. 

Weathering With You

Its been raining for months without ending in Tokyo. Hodaka Morishima who has just run away from home has trouble looking for a job, since he has no identification. Luckily he met a man on the boat to Tokyo who gave him his card. He stays there for awhile helping to clean the house and write articles about folktales he hears from different people. One day he learns about something called a sunshine girl who can control the weather. Not many people seem to believe the rumors. However, after saving a girl who is being taken into a shady establishment, he finds out she happens to be a real sunshine girl.

Weathering With You was not as great as I was expecting. I feel like Weathering With You is talked about like it's one of the greatest anime movies ever by people who have seen it. It is because of this that I had my expectations set too high. I will say that the ending had an incredible impact on me in the same way that Your Name did. But, there were parts throughout the movie that just felt slow to me.  I definitely think it's worth watching, especially if you enjoy other anime by Makoto Shinkai. 

One-Punch Man Season 3

After the last battle Goro was able to escape. Even though Centichoro was able to go down, the monster association continues to be a real threat. The Hero Association plans to put together a task force of S-Class Hunters to recover the child that was kidnapped. Meanwhile King, Genos, Hellish Blizzard, Sliverfang, and Bomb are recuperating at Saitama's apartment in City Z where the monster association is hiding. Will they all be able to make it out alive, or will the monsters be too much to handle?

One Punch Man Season 3 got a lot of hate from fans, and I don't think it deserves the level of hate that it got. One Punch Man Season 3 has the exact same feel as the other seasons. The Animationis the same, the art style is the same, the voice actors are the same, the story is the same, etc. The only fault I find with it is that Saitama wasn't shown for like half of the season. While it was cool to see some of the other S-Class Heroes Fight, I was really hoping Saitama would have had more screen time. There's no fan service and the language is clean. If you enjoyed the first two seasons of one punch man, then you'll most likely enjoy the third as well.

Dekin no Mogura: The Earthbound Mole

After a talk with their school mates, Yaeko Kirihara and Kuriaki Magi see a man get hit by a thick book that had dropped from a nearby building and broke his head open. Despite that the man claims that he doesn't need medical attention and runs off. They follow him to where he lives and he tells them that his name is Mogura and they should contact him if they see any ghosts. The next day both Yaeka and Kuriaki start seeing ghosts. Who is Mogura? What does he do? Where is he from? These types of questions are at the forefront of Kuriaki's mind, but he's afraid of what will happen if he asks them.

Dekin No Mogura: The Earthbound Mole was completely different from what I was imagining. I totally though this would be about a guy who could transform into a mole from the title. Anyway, the story was interesting and I had no trouble binging it. I don't watch paranormal type anime a lot, so its always fun when I stumble across one and enjoy it. There is no fan service and the language is kept clean. I would suggest giving it a try if you enjoy supernatural type anime.

TASOKARE HOTEL

A girl wakes up in a barren wasteland. Up ahead is a hotel with nothing surrounding it, save for a few rocky formations. She walks in and is greeted by a man with a flame for a head. He tells her that she has arrived at Tasokare Hotel. A place that exists between the living world and the afterlife. People stay here until they remember who they are and whether they are dead or alive. She is then shown to her room, by a man named Atori. He helps her find things in her room that allow her to remember who she is. Her name is Neko Tsukuhara. After seeing the hotel she decides to work there. Will she be able to find herself, while helping others do the same?

TASOKARE HOTEL is one of the most wild anime's I have ever watched. despite only taking place in a single location, the world building is amazing. I also thoroughly enjoyed watching different characters personal stories unfold. The anime is free of fan service. There is a beach episode, but no swimsuits. It does have adult topics like murder. Though I think it is totally worth the watch.

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.

One-Punch Man Season 2

One day Genos and Saitama are out shopping for hotpot ingredients for dinner. It is then they see a lizard man who is trying to torment people by licking them. He immediately runs away once the S-Class hero King shows up. Shortly after a giant robot named G-4 shows up with the intention of fighting King. However, when King goes to the bathroom Genos fights in his place. When Saitama offers to help, Genos refuses and claims that he will rank among the top 10 S-Class heroes with his own abilities. So Saitama Heads up to Kings apartment and learns that he enjoys playing video games. They then start growing as friends by playing video games together.

One-Punch Man Season 2 was just as good as Season 1. The story gets interesting once they introduce the Hero Hunter Garo. The language and visuals are both clean. If you enjoyed One-Punch Man Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving Season 2 a try.

One-Punch Man

Monsters constantly invade cities. When one shows up with incredible powers, Saitama arrives only to defeat it in one punch. Life has become boring when Saitama realized that there was no one that could beat him. Though Giants, aliens, and other monsters appeared, he couldn't get the thrill from fighting that he used to. That is until he meets Genos. Genos is a Cyborg who was impressed by Saitama's strength and asks to be his disciple. Together they take a test at the hero's association and become professional hero's. 

One-Punch Man was better than I thought it would be. It was something I have tried on three separate occasions to watch, but couldn't get past the first couple of episodes. Now that I have finished Season 1, I can say that it was definitely worth the watch. If you are a fan of anime with super heroes or people with super powers, I would definitely recommend giving it a try. 

Mieruko-chan

Miko Yotsuya is just your average high school girl...that is until she wakes up with the ability to see ghosts. It turns out ghosts are everywhere. Sometimes they look like regular humans, and sometimes they look like monsters. The solution to the problem that Miko has come up with is to completely ignore them. While this works in some cases, it is not so helpful in others. Miko soon finds out that her best friend Hana actually draws ghosts to her. Avoiding them may be harder than she thought.

Mieruko-chan was enjoyable for the most part. I don't typically watch Horror anime, but I enjoyed the majority of the anime. The last two episodes were a bit too creepy for me. The story was good in my opinion. There was a shower scene, a bath scene, and multiple locker room scenes. So if you dislike fan service, you might want to skip this one. However, I do think that it is a good introduction to the Horror anime genre. So if you want to test out Horror anime, this might be a good place to start.

DAN DA DAN Season 2

Momo, Jiji, and Okarun arrive at Jiji's old house which supposedly is haunted. However, when Momo tries to exorcise it she doesn't sense the presence of any yokai. That is until she decides to take a dip in the hot springs. five men go after her while she is separated from the boys. Meanwhile, Jiji and Okarun have become trapped inside of Jiji's old family home. What they didn't know is that Jiji's house has been used as a place to offer sacrifices to a monster for centuries. The grudges and resentment of those who got sacrificed lingered there and drew an incredible opponent beneath the property, Evil Eye. Will the group be able to handle all the chaos that comes their way?

DAN DA DAN Season 2 was pretty good. Jiji was annoying as heck and made me cringe more times than I can count. But once Aira showed up I began to enjoy the show a lot more. Visually Dan Da Dan Season 2 was a lot cleaner than Season 1 except for the Hot spring Scenes.  If you enjoyed Season 1 I would suggest giving season 2 a try. While the beginning was hard to watch it ended with me wanting more.

Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic

When Ciel hears that there has rumors of a hospital raising the dead he asks Sebastian to investigate. They learn that there is a secret society behind it and they are meeting on a luxury cruise liner known as Campania. Coincidentally, it is the same ship that his Fiancée Lizzy had invited him to go on with her family. Ciel, Sebastian, and Snake successfully get on and infiltrate the meeting. However, what happens next was unexpected to everyone. The technology used doesn't bring corpses back to life, but instead turns them into zombies. Pretty soon the entire cruise ship is overrun with zombies. Will Everyone be able to make it out alive?

I wasn't quite sure if Black Butler: Book of Murder was necessary to watch, But Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic made it clear that it is. The reason I was led to believe this is because it is the only season of black butler you can't find on Crunchyroll. Something that I realized as I was watching the movie was that the characters acted overly surprised when they find out a secret. However, this same secret was revealed in the 2nd cour of season 1. It was then that I remembered that the 2nd half of season 1 and all of season 2 were not cannon. I kind of wish I had known about the order before I started watching it. I was also a little disappointed that Finny, Mey-rin, and Baldroy are only a part of the movie for the first minute or so. Overall, the movie was good and should definitely be watched after Black Butler: Book of Murder.

Black Butler: Book of Murder (Season 3 Part 2)

 

When the queen hears about Ciel's latest mission to capture the kidnappers and save the children, she doesn't entirely believe Ciel's excuse for burning everyone alive.So as a test she sends her personal butlers and asks that Ciel host a party for a german man who will be coming to England. Ciel invites a number of guests including Arthur Conan Doyle. While the party seemed to be going normal at first things change when the guest of honor, Georg Von Siemon is murdered in a locked room. Slowly more and more of the guests start to die. Will Ciel and Arthur Conan Doyle be able to solve the mystery before everyone is dead?

Black Butler: Book of Murder was pretty fun to watch. I never thought that I would see sir Arthur Conan Doyle in an Anime but it makes sense since the story's setting is in England. Everyone dresses modestly and there is no swearing. If you enjoy anime's that have a mystery element to it, I would definitely suggest giving Black Butler: Book of Murder a try.
