Ojisan and Marshmallow

Habahiro Hige works at a company with Iori Wakabayashi. There’s nothing Hige loves more than eating marshmallows. Wakabayashi is aware of this and approaches Hige, offering to share some of the bag she has. Because Hige won’t directly admit that he wants one, she eats them in front of him, waiting for him to be honest. Once she reaches the last one, she offers it to him again, and Hige finally says yes. However, there’s a catch: he has to take it from her mouth. Since they would have to kiss for him to eat it, he reluctantly lets it go.

In order to get into a relationship with Hige, Wakabayashi is willing to use marshmallows in a number of ways. However, will it be enough to get Hige to notice her, or will all of his attention remain focused on the marshmallows?

I really enjoyed Ojisan and Marshmallow. After watching the first episode, I felt like my love for romantic comedy anime had been reignited. I don’t typically enjoy office romances, so this one completely surprised me. It was absolutely hilarious, and Wakabayashi’s attempts to get Hige’s attention, along with Hige’s reactions to them, made me want to see them become a couple.

It is a wholesome romance for the most part, but there is a hot spring scene, a girl named Mioko Nijimori who shows cleavage, and a dream scene where Wakabayashi dreams that she is taking care of a baby. While I enjoyed it, I definitely wouldn’t suggest it to anyone unless I knew it was exactly what they were looking for. The fact that the characters are all adults, along with the humor, makes me feel like this is geared more toward adults than teens. 

Squid Girl Specials

 

After watching Eiko leave the house mini Squid girl goes back to her bed. However, she finds that a second Squid Girl dressed in black with a black squid hat has stolen her spot in it. In order to take back her property they fight using weapons like colored pencils, rubber bands, and toy trucks. After the Squid Girl dressed in black falls out the window, Squid girl saves her using her tentacles. They make up by eating shrimp chips together and wave good bye as the Squid Girl dressed in black goes back to the ocean.

It was cool to see the Squid Girl Specials because both of them were episodes about tiny squid girl. These only popped up about once per season, so I enjoyed the additonal content. While the last episode does have a beach scene, I would say that the episodes were pretty wholesome overall. If you enjoyed the main series, I would definitely suggest giving the specials a try.

AIURA

Ayuko Uehara is just about to relax at a shop, when two girls knock her ice cream cone out of her hand. Kanaka Amaya gives Ayuko a Taiyaki to replace her ice cream while Saki Iwasawa scolds Kanaka for treating an elementary schooler like that. Little did they know that the very next day they would all be attending the same high school. After getting assigned a locker that is too high to reach Saki and Kanaka help her out. They become fast friends and do everything together. It looks like High school will be a whole new adventure for each of them.

AIURA is another one of those anime with four minute episodes. There isn't a whole lot of story, because the series is so short, but I did find myself laughing a few times. If you are looking for something to pass the time, Aiura is a great choice. However, if you want an anime with a cohesive story and not just little bits of comedy I would try something else. The anime doesn't have any lewd scenes, and the language is kept clean as well.

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.

Wagamama High Spec

The Ousei High School Student Council has five members. The President Kaoruko Rokuonji, The Vice President Ashe R Sakuragi, The Secretary Mihiro Miyase, and The Treasurer Toa Narumi. Toa's brother Kouki Narumi is also on the council, but doesn't make an appearance. Together these girls brave the challenges of school life, such as preparing for school festivals, working on paperwork during hot summer days, as well as testing out robots used to improve school life. With the power of friendship there's nothing this group can't do.

Wagamama High Spec was a relaxing anime. It didn't have much of a story so I didn't have to focus all that much. There was panty shots as well as swimsuits. The only fan service that happens is in episodes 1 and 11. Aside from that it's a pretty fun anime if you are looking for something short to watch. Each episode is only about three minutes long. If you enjoy short anim, and don't mind ecchi content, I would suggest giving it a try. 

Military!

One day while Souhei Yano is all alone a tank rams into his house. Inside is first lieutenant Lutgarnikov and second lieutenant Haruka from the Duchy of Krakozhia Army Special Forces. They have come to protect him from Assassins who are out to kill him. The reason being is that Souhei's father is hailed as a hero in the Duchy of Krakozhia. If something were to happen to his family it would give others a leg up in the war. While Haruka and Lutgarnikov have come to protect souhei, more often they tend to put him in danger, like firing missiles off in his house, and not paying attention when assassins show up. Will Souhei really be all right?

Military! is a fun anime. It has a wild sense of humor, which I really enjoyed. There is fan service here and there, but it's mostly panty shots. Though there are some revealing swimsuits in the beach episode. If you don't mind Ecchi anime, I would suggest giving it a try. Every episode is only three minutes long, so you can finish it pretty quick. 

The Comic Artist & His Assistants

Yuuki Aito is a Manga Artist who works on the manga Shyness Cafe Latte. However, his true passion is drawing girls panties. He has his assistant Sahoto Ashisu to help him with his work. Though Yuuki has a habit of procrastinating until right before the deadline. This makes things increasingly harder, so he gets a new assistant named Rinna Fuwa. Unfortunately she has now idea how to draw and stays to help with moral support. After Sahoto is absent, Yuuki's editor Mihari hires a girl named Sena Kuroi who is said to be one of the best Assistants there is, so long as you don't make her angry. Will Yuuki be able to gain success with the help of his new Assistants?

I'm not going to lie, The Comic Artist & His Assistants was a little hard to watch. It wasn't as bad as some other anime I've seen though. The main character is a pervert,  who seems to only think about panties. This gets him scolded quite often from those he works with. There is fan service throughout the series, including bath scenes, a beach episode, a hot spring episode, and much more. Yuuki kind of fails at being an adult, but I did find myself laughing from time to time during the show. I wouldn't suggest it, because of its slow pace, and dirty sense of humor. However, if you enjoy ecchi anime, you might enjoy it.

Hands off: Sawaranaide Kotesashi-kun!

It's Koyo Kotesashi's first time in the big city. Thanks to his dad's connections he got a job as a dorm's caretaker to pay for his high school tuition. There he meets the girls living there who are all elite athletes. Aroma Kusunoki from the Basketball Team, Miyuki Hongo from the Volleyball Team, Aoba Kitahara from the Soccer Team, Izumi Sumiyoshi from the Swim Team, and Chiyo Sayamagaoka from the Table Tennis Team, all aren't super welcoming of Koyo at first. However, the principal shows up and tells Koyo that unless everyone at the dorm graduates in peak physical conditon, he won't be allowed to get a scholarship from the school. Will Koyo be able to gain the girls trust and help improve the way they live?

Hands off: Sawaranaide Kotesashi-Kun! feels like a mix of Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory and Bokuben: We Never Learn. However, I think I prefer Bokuben over Hands off: Sawaranaide Kotesashi-Kun! While it is cool to have an anime that focuses on massaging, there was an overabundance of fan service. This anime didn't need any fan service to be good. Thoush whenever Koyo gives a massage to someone their clothes suddenly disappear. I also feel like this had the potential to be a good romance anime, but Koyo has sworn off romance so he doesn't get in trouble. Overall I wouldn't say this one I feel like everyone should see. it falls short in a lot of areas that could have been strong points. But it's possible that's how the manga was written. The only reason you would want to watch this is if you want to see an ecchi anime that focuses on the art of massaging.

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. 

Hanaukyo Maid Team

After his mother passed away Taro Hanaukyo receives a message from his grandfather. He learns that he is going to receive his grandfathers fortune as well as live in a mansion with maids who are willing to do whatever he asks. While Taro may have just been given a luxurious life, There isn't anything extraordinary about him. However, his maids are willing to make others believe that Taro is special, whatever the costs.

Hanaukyo Maid Team was definitely interesting to watch. It reminded me of a lot of other anime's Ive Seen. Taro's allergy to women reminded me of Girls Bravo. His personality reminded me of Yuuki Rito from To Love Ru. The Teacher reminded me of the Teacher from Dears. The animation style reminded me of Rizelmine. While there was a lot of similarities to other anime made in this time period I didn't enjoy it as much as the ones I mentioned. There is a lot of fan service throughout the anime. There is a beach scene, a hot springs scene, and numerous bath scenes. While the anime wasn't my favorite, you may enjoy it if you give it a try. If you don't like Ecchi anime, you can feel free to skip this one.

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.

How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno.

Ueno is the president of the science club, and is constantly building new inventions. She uses them to get the attention of her crush Tanaka under the pretext that he is helping with an experiment. For her first invention she makes a device that can purify any substance to the point that it is drinkable. To test it out she purifies her bodily fluids. She then has the third club member Yamashita try it to prove that it actually worked. Shen then makes a machine that projects the image of space onto objects and uses it on her skirt to prevent any boys from trying to peek up her skirt.

How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno was kind of weird, but kind of fun also. It kind of reminds me of the dynamic between Lala and Rito in To Love Ru. However, Ueno's personality is the complete opposite of Lala's. I honestly felt a lot of things while watching this, such as frustration at how dense Tanaka is, intrigue at the different inventions, and uncomfortable at the show's sense of humor. Luckily every episode is only 12 minutes long so it was a quick watch. There is a lot of talk about underwear and peeping, so if you don't like fan service, you can feel free to skip this one. 

High School DxD Specials

The Occult Research Club decides to take a short trip to the beach. Akeno helps Issei train both mentally and magically. Meanwhile Koneko drinks tea that Rias put a spell on, which changes her personality. Issei learns how to use his new dress-break ability and is eager to give Akeno and Rias a demonstration. After losing a competition the Student Council makes Udon for the Occult Research Club. Asia Wants to act more like a demon after seeing the way Issei acts at school. However, her good nature prevents her from making any drastic changes.

These Specials aren't part of the main story, but they were fun to watch. I especially enjoyed Koneko adopting a perverted personality which contradicts her usual serious attitude. theres fan service in every episode such as swimsuits, a shower scene, panty shots, and exploding clothes. But its kind of expected not just because its High School DxD, but because it's a Special. OVA's and Specials typically have fan service even for non ecchi shows. If you enjoyed Season 1 you might give the season 1 specials a try.

Cooking with Valkyries Season 2

To celebrate the upcoming spring, Sakura makes Sakura Sake which takes two months to complete so it needs to be started in the winter to be ready by the time the Sakura flowers bloom. She then shares it with Kallen as they view the sakura petals fall.

Cooking with Valkyries Season 2 was okay. The food looked good, but there wasn't much of a story. If you want something like that I would suggest watching Campfire Cooking in Another World or Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant. The fun thing about Cooking with Valkyries is they leave you the recipe for the food they make at the end of each episode. The entire anime is clean both in language and visually. If you are a fan of cooking anime, it may be worth a try.

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.  

Lycoris Recoil -Friends are thieves of time.-

While Takina and Chisato plan a trip to Hawaii, they get a call from Headquarters requesting their help to capture a criminal. However, they don't have to look because the next thing they know that very same criminal bursts into Cafe Lycoreco demanding they hand over all the store's money. With Chisato and Takina's Skills they capture the man with ease.

Lycoris Recoil -Friends are thieves of time.- is a series of shorts about Takina, Chisato, and the other main characters of Lycoris Recoil. It was pretty fun to watch. Though I enjoyed the series when it came out, so I knew that it would be fun. If you enjoyed Lycoris Recoil, I would suggest giving the shorts a try. If you haven't seen it and enjoy action anime, I would suggest giving the original series a try as well. 

Teekyuu Season 9

Tomarin talks about her daily life. Nasuno's birthday is coming up and Kanae, Marimo, and Yuri want to celebrate it. However, they don't know what kind of gifts rich people enjoy. Kanae wants to turn the tennis club into an idol group. To celebrate the 100th episode of Teekyuu the characters are ranked with the exception of Kanae who acts as the announcer.

Teekyuu Season 9 was pretty good. Surprisingly season 9 had both an intro and an outro. This cut down the time of the actual episode but each episode didn't actually seem all that shorter. Everyone dressed modestly for Season 9 despite it having the characters in swimsuits for the seasons artwork. If you enjoy short comedy anime I would suggest giving Teekyuu a try.

Teekyuu Season 8

Udonko needs help with ideas that will help her get to nationals in the upcoming newspaper competition. So she consults the tennis club to see what they think. The Tennis club decides to take a break and go to the beach. However after getting on a boat to go farther into the water, Marimo, Kanae, Yuri, and Nasuno all get shipwrecked and each ends up in a different location.

Teekyuu Season 8 was just as good as the previous seasons. Something interesting about this season is you get to see how Kanae, Nasuno, and Marimo first met. I understand why they kept it for later in the series, since the show starts out with Yuri entering the tennis club who is a year younger than Nasuno, Marimo, and Kanae. The season stays mostly clean, with the exception of panty shots in one episode and Marimo undressed for half a second in another episode. If you have liked it so far than keep on going, and if you haven't started it yet, I would suggest giving it a try.
