Chained Soldier Season 2

Yuuki and the 7th Squadron are back. While Yuuki continues to take care of chores, Himari is upset because he keeps getting the clothes mixed up. While he deals with that the Supreme Commander of the Demon Defense Force has called him to the next meeting with all the commanders. During their gathering at the 10th squad's base, they are attacked by a swarm of Shuuki that are controlled by humans. Two of the captains take care of the Shuuki, while Kyouka and Yuuki offer to help the Supreme Commander defeat the humans. However, by the time Yuuki and Kyouka arrive, the humans had already been defeated. Since Yuuki didn't do anything significant The Supreme Commander Ren Yamashiro watches as Kyouka gives Yuuki head pats for his reward. This makes Ren curious about what Yuuki would be like if he was lent out to the other commanders. Will Yuuki get stronger, or will the stress just weigh him down?

Chained Soldier Season 2 was amazing. The battles that occurred were absolutely wild. The action made me want another season for sure. However, there is an unreal amount of lewd scenes in this season as well. There are tons of hot spring scenes, a beach episode, and lots of kissing. If you don't like fan service, you can skip this one.

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.

High School DxD BorN: Yomigaeranai Fushichou

Ravel Phoenix comes to the Occult Club Clubroom at Kuoh High School and asks for the Gremory House's help. She tells them that Riser hasn't been himself since he dueled and lost to Issei. So she wants them to teach him fortitude. Issei takes up the task and after learning that Riser now has a fear of dragons, he takes him into the mountain where he trained with Tannin. The mountain is absolutely swarming in dragons and Tannin has accepted Issei's request to help Riser train. However, Tannin also expects Issei to train in exchange for his help. Will Riser be able to Overcome his fears?

High School DxD Born: Yomigaeranai Fushichou was pretty entertaining to watch. I wasn't expecting to see Riser again since he hasn't appeared since the finale of Season 1. However, I enjoyed it a lot. about half of the episode is the girls in a Hot Spring so it has plenty of fan service. If you want to avoid ecchi anime you can skip this one, but if you liked High School DxD Season 3 I would definitely suggest giving the OVA a watch.

High School DxD

Issei Hyodo was your average high school student who dreamed of having a harem. While he attends an academy that had previously been only for girls but recently turned coed the majority of the girls knew about his nature and did their best to avoid him and his friends. One day a girl named Yuma asks to be his girlfriend. He goes on a date and after they are done she stabs him through the chest. On the verge of death he summons Rias Gremory, a high class devil, and president of the academy's occult research club. She decides to save him and make him her servant turning him into a devil. Now Issei must learn to control his new powers as angels, fallen angels, and devils seek his life.  

High School DXD was actually a lot better than I was expecting. While it is more ecchi than other shows it had far less fan service than people make it seem like. If you compare it to things like redo of healer, testament of sister new devil, to love ru, etc. It's almost wholesome by comparison. There is a lot of panty shots and girls clothes randomly exploding, but I enjoyed the story. I know this isn't for everyone but if you are a fan of the ecchi genre it might be worth a try.

Nukitashi THE ANIMATION

Junnosuke Tachibana grew up on Seiran Isand, and after years away is finally returning with his little sister. However, the Island has been overrun with Lewdism, so much so that everywhere you look is revolved around immorality. Places like the amusement park "Lewd Land" and nudist beaches are whats advertised for people incoming to the island. A law has been passed that requires you to participate in immoral behavior and those who don't are forced into it by the FS who are the future leaders of Seiran Island. After running away from his classmates with a girl named Nanase Katagiri, Junnosuke Tachibana comes across an underground bunker where he discovers a way to fight back against Lewdism. Will he be able to save those like him who want a relationship based on love and not just sex?

Nukitashi THE ANIMATION is an anime I would suggest avoiding if you don't like Ecchi anime. Even if you do like Ecchi anime this anime goes a bit too far seeing as its uncensored. In some ways this is worse than anime like Testament of Sister New Devil and Redo of Healer because the inappropriate scenes are a lot more frequent. In the end the decision is ultimately up to you. 

Please Put Them On, Takamine-san

Koushi Shirota is your typical side character that blends into the background. However, he has always gone to the same schools as Takane Takamine who is the student council president of Fujihigashi high school. one day while Koushi is eating his meal alone Takane comes into the sports room to get dressed. While it wasn't intentional he sees her get dressed. Later in the day when she stands up and takes her panty's off in the middle of class, Koushi asks why Takane did it. He then learns that she has a super power to go back in time and undo things throughout the day whenever she takes off her underwear. Now that Koushi has seen her bare breasts he no longer loses his memory when Takane goes back in time. So she approaches him and asks him to be her closet. With the ability to shape the world how she wants it will Takane actually take no for an answer?

Please Put Them On, Takamine-san was not a great anime. While the premise seems unique at first it honestly ended up feeling like some other Romance anime's like Bokuben: We Never Learn and Masamune-kun's Revenge. There is plenty of unneeded fan service throughout the anime, but it was also to be expected given the premise of the show. I would suggest skipping this one if you happen to come across it. 

Sekirei Special

When Kusano doesn't feel like she is being accepted as one of Minato's wives she says she wants to join the shopping races with Tsukiumi and Musubi. However, rather than going straight there she goes the wrong direction. After Musubi redirects Kusano, Kusano gets sidetracked by a cat. After using the cat to get to the store Kusano forgets what she is actually shopping for. So rather than it being a race, it becomes an experience that draws Kusano, Musubi, and Tsukiumi closer together.

Kusano's first errand was better than I was expecting. It was fun to see how Musubi and Tsukiumi help Kusano. I had honestly thought that the three of them would go straight to the store. Surprisingly, this episode didn't have fan service for the majority of it. There is a bath scene at the very end though. Overall it was pretty wholesome. If you liked Sekirei  Season 1, I would definitely suggest giving this Special episode a try.

Sekirei

Minato Sahashi is a college reject. After failing to get in to his desired college for the second year in a row, Minato walks the streets of Teito trying to figure out what to do next. Then out of nowhere, a girl named Musubi falls from the sky and lands right on top of him. It turns out that she is being chased by two girls who have lightning powers. Without thinking Musubi runs away while holding Minato's hand . They end up at his apartment, but thanks to the landlord walking in and seeing the two they are kicked out since it is an apartment complex for singles. After leaving they run into the two girls who were chasing Musubi before. Musubi is a sekirei and her power can only truly shine when she has an Ashikabi or partner. To escape being chased Musubi kisses Minato making him her Ashikabi. Now a new life awaits them.

Sekirei was more interesting than I expected it to be. It kind of reminded me a little bit of Darwins game at first since its a death game type anime taking place in the real world. However, one of the Sekirei uses cloth as a weapon which kind of reminded me of Tsugumomo. I was also kind of reminded of Akikan as well with the whole concept of kissing awakens their powers. The anime is uncensored, which is probably a turn off for most people. There are bath scenes in just about every episode as well as a lot of panty shots. Unless you are looking for an ecchi anime that has death game type feel to it, you can probably skip this one.

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. 

To Love ru: Multiplication - From the Front from Behind

When Lala makes an invention that looks like a cat, she goes to show it to Rito. Rito accidentally touches it an it makes two of him. Lala says that if you grab the tail it will stop Rito from making clones of himself. However, the cat has already run off. Whats worse everytime Rito sneezes it makes more clones of himself. Pretty soon the entire school is overrun with Rito clones. Will Rito and his friends be able to catch the cat before Rito's clones take over the city?

To Love Ru: Multiplication was wild. I had read about the episode on google but people's descriptions do not do it justice. The amount of trouble Rito causes when he duplicates himself should be enough to make him a criminal. That's probably why this was the last episode in the series. The Ecchi elements in this episode is on par with anime's like Redo of Healer and Testament of Sister New Devil. So if you don't like fan service I would for sure avoid this one.

To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2 OVA

One night, right as Rito Yuuki is about to fall asleep, Nemesis appears in his room. She tells him that she has been spending time in the library recently and she is interested in ghost stories. So she came to have him tell her a ghost story. Momo then pops out of the closet and says that she will tell a ghost story. So she starts to tell one that she heard as a child from Zastin. The story is about a man who's spacecraft malfunctioned and stranded him on a strange planet. He then walks around hoping to find food and shelter somewhere in this planet that appears to be devoid of people, with only trees and plants as far as the eye can see. He then stumbles upon a mansion. When he knocks on the door, he is greeted by an old hag. Nemesis then interrupts saying that it should be a young woman who greets him. Momo says that that's just how the story is and continues talking about how after the man had gone to bed he wakes up and standing over him is the old hag.

To Love Ru Darkness 2 OVA was pretty fun. I never thought that I would see a episode with a scary story in it. The other episodes are similar to your average To Love Ru episodes. Lala creates an invention, the invention malfunctions, and Rito is caught in some kind of trouble. The episodes have a lot of fan service in them. Hot Springs scenes, panty shots, and much much more. If you enjoy To Love Ru, I would give these OVA's a shot.

To Love Ru Darkness 2 Specials

Nemesis has awakened the Darkness within Yami-chan. However, instead of turning her into the ultimate weapon, a bug turned her into the ultimate pervert. Now all she desires is to become one with Rito who she sees as the most shameless man there is. Though becoming one would mean killing him. With this knowledge Mea, Nana, and Momo come up with a plan to turn Yami back. Unfortunately, it relies heavily on Rito, who is clumsy. Will Rito be able to turn Yami back?

While specials from series aren't typically needed to watch, I felt like To Love Ru Darkness 2 Specials are important since they carry on the story that To Love Ru Darkness 2 left unfinished. If you enjoyed the To Love Ru Season 4 finale I would definitely suggest watching this. However, just like the other To Love Ru content, it is full of fan service. 

To Love Ru Darkness 2 (Season 4)

The day started out like any other, with Rito grabbing Momo's tail before waking up. After Nana walks in and tells the two to get ready, they all head to school together. It's there that Nana meets Haruna and gives her her favorite energy drink from Deviluke. However, the drink is unsuitable for someone from earth, and Haruna gets drunk from it. When Rito walks in on the situation, he walks her home receiving more than a few concerned looks by the public. Once he gets to Haruna's house, she asks him to nurse her back to health. Will it be that easy though?

To Love Ru Darkness 2 is just what you would expect if you have watched anything past the first season. There are multiple bath scenes, multiple shower scenes, a pool scene, and more accidental trips than you can count. However, I really enjoyed it. Some people claim that Momo has replaced Lala, but Lala isn't completely excluded. She still makes her appearances to give out inventions that end up making trouble rather than solving it. The ending was also really intense. I would definetely suggest it if you enjoyed any of the previous seasons of To Love Ru. However, feel free to avoid it if you don't like the Ecchi genre.

Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World!

After defeating the demon lord with his adventuring party, Hinata returns to earth believing that he will never see them again. However, not long after he returns, a magic circle appears in his apartment, and out of it falls his previous adventuring companion, Mariabelle. Mariabelle decides to live with hinata claiming that life in the other world without him was boring. However, what he didn't know is that Mariabelle had broken some rules in order to come to earth. Because of this his other two adventuring companions Cecil and Mai come to earth to observe Mariabelle on the governments orders.

Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World! was different than I was expecting. Belle isn't as yandere as I was picturing. She seems extremely possessive of Hinata, but not to the point that she would kill others to keep him to herself, like other yandere characters have done. I was honestly hoping that Hinata would end up with Sakura, his friend from Earth. But, it was pretty obvious from the title that Belle and Hinata would become a couple. It is an uncensored anime, which means that it has plenty of fan service. So, if you are not a fan of the Ecchi genre, you can skip this one.

Makina-san's a Love Bot?!

Eita Akutsu is your average npc character who loves robotics. When he saves a robot he created from falling down the stairs, he bumps into Makina, the idol of his school. She tells him that it was admirable of him to save a robot, and with that he falls in love. Later after getting home he sees someone in front of his apartment. It turns out to be Makina who asks if she can stay with him, since someone blew up her house. Makina then reveals that she is a robot with advanced AI. But thanks to the explosion, she is falling apart and needs someone to fix her. She believes that Eita meets all the qualifications for the task. But things get more complicated after Makina's friend Mamimi finds out that they know each other and assumes Eita is Makina's stalker.

Makina-san's a Love Bot is pretty good for a short anime. However, it is uncensored and is full of fan service. So unless you like Ecchi anime, I would suggest skipping over this one.  

To LOVE-Ru Darkness OVA

More misadventures arise when Celine lets her pollen fly and Mikan gets caught up in it. She pretends to be unaffected by its power allowing Rito to relax instead of panic. However, the more time he spends with her, the harder she finds it to hold back a declaration of love. Meanwhile, Haruna is turned into a cat by one of Lala's inventions. She attempts to communicate with Yui but realizes that she can't talk because she's a cat. So she goes to Rito's house in an attempt to find Nana who has the ability to talk to animals. Unfortunately, she runs into Rito first. While he does take good care of her, she is unable to reveal her identity until it is too late.

To Love-Ru Darkness OVA's felt kind of like deleted scenes from  To Love Ru Darkness (Season 3). It was pretty fun to watch. The majority of the scenes were unsurprising because they were in line with the pattern of the rest of the series. However, there's an episode where Rune asks Rito to take pictures of her in preparation for her next photo shoot. But the camera she gives him takes over his mind. Each episode has fan service, which is unsurprising since that's how it's been since episode 1. There are bath scenes, shower scenes, a brief pool scene, and much more. The OVA's don't add more story to the plotline of the main series. So you can skip them if you so desire.

To Love Ru Darkness (Season 3)

It all started out like any other day. Rito woke up to find Momo in his bed. After getting pushed out by Nana he prepares for school and walks there with Lala. He sees his friend Yui Kotegawa holding a pile of books and decides to help her with it. However, as he climbs up the stairs to take them to the classroom he is pushed down by Celine, a mutant flower baby. He falls face first into Yui's panty's and is criticized by Nana who is now in the uniform of Sainen High School along with Momo. Both have decided to transfer to the school after getting bored by staying home all day. Meanwhile Rito struggles with having feelings for  both Lala and Haruna because he knows he can only marry one. Momo proposes that Rito should make a harem. If he marries Lala he'll be king of the universe and won't be bound by the Laws of Earth. But Rito fails to accept. While Momo Struggles with putting her plan into action a new threat pops up. It turns out that Yami's Sister is currently at Sainen High School as well and may have plans for Rito since Yami didn't finish him off.

To Love Ru Darkness was amazing. The animation was far more beautiful than the two previous seasons. In a previous review I said that Yami was my favorite character. This season changed my mind and I grew to like Momo a lot. If you are going to watch this season, make sure that you use headphones since the fan service is moved up a notch. I would say that its almost at the level of Testament of Sister New Devil. But if you don't like fan service, then it is better to stay away from it.

Motto To Love Ru (Season 2)

When Rito and Lala are running late to school, Lala runs so fast that Rito can't keep up. when he tells her to stop, she stops so suddenly that he goes flying. He lands on top of Golden Darkness who promptly punches him all the way back to where he was before. When he lands in front of Lala she mentions that they were standing in the same place they were when he first proposed to her. Later the group goes to a local Hot Springs with Golden Darkness who has people after her. They believe that she has grown weak due to her refusal to kill Rito Yuuki. 

Motto To Love Ru was different from season 1, but still good. Each episode was split into three tiny stories which I thought was a nice change from the regular episodes in season 1. While Nana and Momo aren't in every episode they show up enough for you to grow to like them. There is a lot of fan service but its mainly panty shots, there is a hot spring episode, a pool episode, as well as multiple bath scenes. It feels kind of similar to Rosario+Vampire in that regard. If you don't like the Ecchi genre then you don't have to watch it, but if you enjoyed season 1, then I would suggest giving it a try.

To LOVE Ru OVA

When Lala hears Saruyama talk about how he likes the way girls look physically, she asks her friends if that really matters to humans. Lala then makes an invention that should give her the ideal body to win Rito over. However, Rito accidently falls into it after getting hit by Golden Darkness and is transformed into a girl. Now Rito needs to find a way back before his friends find out about his new form.

To LOVE Ru OVA's were really fun to watch. They aren't all necessary to watch, but I would suggest giving episodes four and five a watch since new characters are introduced in those. The OVA's have less fan service than I expected. There just seemed to be a lot of panty shots which is kind of expected after seeing the first season of To Love Ru. its up to you whether you give it a try or not, but If you liked the first season of To Love Ru, I would suggest watching the OVA's.

To Love Ru

After a day at school Rito Yuuki decides to take a bath. What he did not expect was an alien to warp into his bathtub with him. He finds out that her name is Lala Satalin Deviluke and she is currently being chased by people from outer space. Rito decides to help her, only to find out that the people who are after her are her guards. They want to bring her back after she ran away from home. Unwittingly Rito ends up getting engaged to Lala which gives her a reason to stay on earth rather than return home.

To Love Ru was not what I was expecting. I was kind of expecting there to be a character named Ru and it would be a cute love story. What really happens is you meet a all kind of aliens from outer space who are after either Rito or Lala. It does resemble a high school romance in some ways as it has the cultural festival, a hot springs episode, an amusement park episode, etc. However, it doesn't feel the same as anime's like Horimiya and Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. It has a little bit of fan service in each episode. So if you don't like the ecchi genre, you should stay away from this. However, it was kind of fun to watch. My favorite character is an assassin from outer space known as Golden Darkness. I would suggest giving it a try if you are looking for something a bit different from your usual romcom.
