Kanokon: The Great Midsummer Carnival

Summer vacation starts and Chizuru wants to spend every minute of it with Kota. She even goes so far as to make sure that he doesn't sleep in. However, while Chizuru is thinking of things to do with Kota, her mom shows up in Kota's home claiming that Kota promised to go on a date with her long ago. She brings two Yukata's for both Kota and Chizuru to wear to watch fireworks. Meanwhile Tayura is trying his hardest to ask Akane to watch the fireworks with him but can't quite seem to find the words. Will everything work out in a way where everyone can be satisfied?

Kanokon: The Great Midsummer Carnival was definitely unique. Tayura trying to ask out Akane was super cringey to watch, but I think thats because It isn't that different from real life. there is a ton of fan service like a scene where Chizura undresses and tries to get Kota to eat noodles off of her body, a bath scene with Nozomu, as well as Nozomu being completely naked while she is lounging around her house. There is also a scene where Chizuru and Kota get soaked from the rain and have to undress so they don't catch a cold. While I think this is something that should be avoided, I have to give the anime points for originality. Overall, I wouldn't watch this unless you have watched the main Kanokon series and enjoyed it.

Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

Virtual Reality Players have stopped playing full dive games ever since the Augma came out. The Augma is an Augmented Reality machine which people find safer since you are completely awake and in control of your body when you use it. The company who created it also made a game called Ordinal Scale. Ordinal Scale gives everyone a rank. If you raise your rank enough you can get prizes from different companies. You raise your rank by defeating monsters that appear throughout the city. While it seems like a game at first, Kirito learns that there is something much more sinister going on. Players start losing their memories and end up hospitalized. Will he be able to figure out how to help those being affected before something much worse happens?

Ordinal Scale was a pretty cool movie. While watching a Full Dive VRMMORPG anime is cool, seeing it change to Augmented Reality gave the movie a totally different feel. However, it retained the charm that Sword Art Online has. This movie takes place in between the second and third season in case you want to watch all of Sword Art Online in order. It was surprisingly really clean compared to Season 1 and Season 2. There is a bath scene but you don't even see Asuna's body, just her face. That is if you watch it on crunchyroll, if you watch it on a different site there is a chance that it will be uncensored. Overall I would highly recommend this if you liked the first and second seasons of Sword Art Online. 

Sword Art Online Season 2

Gun Gale Online is a new world created from the seed that was given to Kirito from Kayaba Akihito. It is also the only game that allows you to exchange the in game currency for real money. After some people got cocky a player known as Death Gun appears in a room where a screen is showing two of Gun Gale's professional players being interviewed. After a comment about how players who followed advice he gave previously are inferior, Death Gun shoots the screen and the man being interviewed dies in real life. This got the attention of the government. The man who Kirito approached from internal affairs to learn Asuna's Location after they all woke up comes to him asking if people could really be killed by shooting a gun shot in a game. Kirito doesn't want to believe it, but agrees to check it out after he's told the government will pay him to go inside Gun Gale Online and find out more about Death Gun. After converting his character, Kirito meets a girl named Sinon who helps show him around, pick his weapons and armor, as well as helps him to sign up for a Battle Royale called Bullet of Bullets. But will this be enough to draw Death Gun out into the open?

The first three fourths of this season is super super good. However, it became harder to watch around episode nineteen for me. Asuna's mom was super annoying. We already had a fiasco when Asuna's Dad tried to set her up with a guy, now her mom is trying to do the same thing. Not only that, but she tries to separate Asuna from her friends without listening to how Asuna feels about it. I do believe that it is absolutely worth watching though. There are only a few inappropriate parts throughout the season. there is a scene where you see Sinon in her bra as she changes into her battle armor, and there is a short bath scene with Asuna in it. Besides that the season is clean. If you liked the first season I would give this one a shot as well.

WcDonald's

WcDonald's has come out with a new sauce and customers are racing to try it. It has the power to make everyone feel like they've won, and even gives you the courage to confess to the one you love. The sauce is so amazing it will even transport you to another world. How will it affect your life when you try it?

WcDonald's is the kind of anime where you watch and wonder to yourself what you just watched. But because it went so fast it didn't feel like I wasted my time. It felt more like I was watching a series of commercials for McDonalds in anime form. Both the language and the way people dress is clean. If you are curious, give it a try.

Akikan!

Kakeru Daichi has always found it fun to collect the different types of soda cans that he drinks. One day when he tries a melon flavored juice it turns into a cute girl. He names her Melon and has her become a student at the school he attends with the help of his childhood friend Najimi Tenkuji. Kakeru is soon approached by a government official who tells him that this phenomenon happens with every type of drink there is. They have labeled the cans who transform as Akikans. Since cans are made from either steel or aluminum the government wants to get rid of one and make all cans from the same material. So they have the Akikan's fight each other in what is known as the Akikan Elect. Though Kakeru strongly advises Melon not to participate all Akikan's seem to be born with an aversion to the material opposite of them. Is it possible for everyone to get along despite their differences?

Akikan sounds like a weird anime, and it is. Despite them being completely different, it gave me the same feeling I had when I was watching Tayutama. It may be weird and hard to binge, but it is probably the most quotable anime I have seen so far. There is some fan service in it, but less than I thought there would be. There is a bath scene, and an episode where they go to a water park. The water park episode kind of reminded me of Eiken. The language isn't too bad throughout it either. However, this is an episode where the guy gets punched a lot, which is something that bothered me in the past, but I didn't really mind it as much when I watched this. If you don't mind some minor fan service, I would give it a try.

Sword Art Online

During the year of 2022 the company Argus released a full dive VRMMORPG called Sword Art Online. Only 10,000 copies were sold. Everyone was super excited to experience this new world that was given to them. That is until they learned that nobody could log out. The creator of the Game Kayaba Akihiko let the world know that this was not a mistake and that if the nervegear used to play the game is taken off the player, or the player dies in the game, they will also die in real life. The only way out is to beat all 100 floors of the floating castle Aincrad. Until then they must do whatever they can to survive. Will everybody be able to make it back home safe?

Sword art online was pretty good. A lot of people don't know this but Sword Art Online Season 1 includes both the Aincrad Arc and the Alfheim Arc. There are a few scenes where you see girls in their underwear, a bath scene around episode eighteen, then in episode twenty four you see the villain Sugou rip Asuna's clothes, though you only get a glimpse of her body. The language stays pretty clean throughout the season. If you don't like fan service you can skip this, but if you like Isekai and VRMMO anime's I would give it a try.

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online

Karen Kohiruimaki has always been self conscious about how tall she is. So in order to get away from it she decides to buy an amusphere and find a game where she can get a cute character. After going through many different games she finally finds a character that she loves and names her Llenn. The game that she ended up in was Gun Gale Online. Not long after she finishes the tutorial and gets some shooting practice in the desert, she meets another female player named Pitohui. After spending time with Pito, news about a new competition called Squad Jam comes up. While Pito can't compete on the day of the competition, she has her friend M fill in for her and team up with Llenn. While Pito hopes they will win, do they actually have what it takes to be the best?

I really liked this series. Fuka kind of reminds me of Sally from Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense. While it was different from Sword Art Online Season 2. it still was pretty intense. The anime stays pretty clean except for a short clip where Karen is talking to her friend Miyu while she is in the bath. There is some swearing, but the language stays clean for the majority of it. Overall, I believe it was worth watching. If you liked Sword Art Online I would give it a try.

SPY x FAMILY Season 2

After Yor comes home from another job she has an angry look on her face. Assuming that it's somehow his fault Loid makes nearly nine hundred different date plans to make her happy, unaware that its actually pain from being shot by an enemy right before he died that is causing her to act like this. After a car has arrived to pick them up she claims she would rather walk, making over seven hundred of Loid's plans fall through. Meanwhile Franky is left to watch over Anya. Refusing to stay home she suggests that they tail them to see what they do on their date. After multiple failed attempts to make Yor happy, Loid finally takes her out to dinner, where a remaining member of the gang she took down is working. To get revenge for his fallen comrades he fills a cup full of poison and has a waiter bring it to Yor. Thanks to her work as an assassin Yor had built up an immunity to poison so all it did was make her numb. Thanks to this her pain was able to go away and she was able to enjoy her date with Loid. Thanks to her telepathy and Franky's Infiltration skills, Anya is able to sneak in and give the gang member a warning to stop going after Yor and value the people he still has with him.

The first few episodes were kind of slow for me. However, once it got to the arc where the Forgers all go on a cruise it gets super interesting. The season stays clean both visually and with the humor they use. There is some swearing here and there though. Overall I would say it was super awesome. If you liked the first season I would give this a try as well. 

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Something

Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, Lucoa, Fafnir, Elma and Takiya all get together to act out different situations seen in different genre's of anime. It all starts when Kobayashi asks why marumaru is added to the title of the anime. Kanna and Tohru explain that it can be replaced with anything you want they then add words like police and cat to the title while they dress up like the word that has replaced marumaru in the title.

This was pretty interesting if you are into watching chibi shorts. However, there is no real story. It is just a series of skits. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special like the In/spectre or Tayutayu: pure my heart shorts. It was clean though. The language remained clean as well, which was good. If you like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid I would suggest giving it a try.

Shangri-La Frontier

The world is full of games the most popular of which is the Full Dive MMORPG Shangri-La Frontier. The ones that tend to get overlooked are known as trash games. Rakurou Hizutome is known as the trash game hunter because he spends his time trying to defeat the games most people would rather ignore. After defeating a difficult trash game called Faeria Chronicle Online a store owner suggest he try playing Shangri-La Frontier which already has thirty million players around the world after only being out for a year. Despite it not being a trash game Rakurou decides to give it a try. He creates a character named Sunraku, that goes around wearing a bird mask. However, rather than going to the beginning town like everyone else, Sunraku starts out in the forest and skips it entirely, heading straight for the second town which is guarded by a poisonous snake. While Sunraku is able to beat it he gets covered in poison before the monster vanishes. Will he have the HP to get to the second town before he dies?

Shangri-La Frontier was way better than I was expecting. Some people say the MMORPG anime genre is overdone. However, this one was pretty well received from what I could tell. I really liked it because it felt completely different from other MMORPG anime like Sword Art Online and Full Dive. While some might take issue of the main character walking around shirtless the entire anime, I felt it was a lot cleaner than most anime out there. It does swear pretty often though. So if you aren't a fan of language that is something to be aware of. Overall, I would highly suggest it. It's pretty funny as well as entertaining. The world building is incredible as well.

Bagel Girl

After a bad day at work, Bong Gi goes home, and wakes up the next morning as a beautiful girl. Confused as to why it happened he goes online for advice, but unfortunately nobody believes him. It isn't until he visits a clothing store that he meets one of the people he had talked to online and after seeing him in person decides to help Bong Gi. Lacking in both common sense and social skills, Bong Gi turns to Se Mi who he met at the clothing store for help. Now she makes it her job to help Bong Gi start a new life as Ah Reum.

To be honest this started out as a bad version of Onimai: I'm now your sister, but as the story progressed it turned into a murder mystery. While online sites may label this as an Ecchi all you really see is cleavage with the different outfits Ah Reum wears throughout the series. However, that may be a turn off for some. There isn't any swearing throughout the anime though. Overall, this is good if you have nothing else to watch, however some better alternatives would be Onimai if you are looking for a good slice of life gender bender, or Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden deductions if you are looking for a good mystery anime.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts

For a long time the world has been separated into a land of humans and a land of beasts. In order to stop the wars between the two a deal was made where the humans would offer up sacrifices in order to keep the beasts away. Sariphi was supposed to be the 99th sacrifice, but instead of being killed the beast king decided to make Sari his wife. Unfortunately this caused backlash from many of the beasts who still feared the humans. So in order to make the citizens of the beast kingdom slowly accept her, Sariphi agrees to complete tasks that would show her ability as queen, like taming a holy beast and hosting a ball for nobility. Watch as Sariphi gains trust as does what she believes to be right.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts starts out a lot like beauty and the beast. However, after the first episode it becomes less of a romance between the two and gains a strong message of self acceptance as well as acceptance of others despite appearances or history. It only swears about three times. The anime remained completely clean visually which gives it a thumbs up in my book. If you like fantasy anime that has more of a focus on world building I would suggest giving this one a try. It kind of reminded me of How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom.

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.

Kiss x Sis

Keita Suminoe has two sisters named Ako and Riko. While they grew up together all three are from prior marriages so there is no blood relationship between them. While Keita just wants to study so he can get into high school, Riko and Ako do everything in their power to show how much they adore him. Ako and Riko do things like make his meals, take him out to karaoke, as well as try to protect him from girls who want to get close to him. Will Keita be able to achieve his goals, or will his sisters attempts to show him they love him become distractions? 

Now I just want to say that this one you probably want to avoid. I looked at this because the name made me think it was a yuri anime. However, this was not a yuri anime and is so bad I would put it among the ranks of anime like Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia, World's End Harem, and Peter Grill and the Philosophers Time. It's not as bad as Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World though. There is a lot of french kissing throughout the anime. It also includes a beach scene, a hot springs episode, a bathhouse episode, and much more. Some people complained about The World's Strongest Tank having weird vibes due to how much Rud loves his little sister, but that is nothing compared to this. Even the flirting between Miyuki and Tatsuya in The Irregular at Magic High School looks like tame compared to this. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone. By the way this is about the OVA series not the TV series of Kiss x Sis.

Can I Make Your Ears Happy in 180 Seconds?

Multiple girls try their own take on ASMR. Whether it be for fun or a way to make friends, each person has a reason for doing it. Watch and listen as the characters experiment with different sounds and words to help you relax.

I originally watched this because I thought it would be similar to My Life After Waking Up as a Dummy Head Mic One Morning. However, this wasn't comedy based, but a way to actually experience ASMR. So I would suggest wearing earphones if you decide to watch this. The characters dress cleanly, and their is no swearing in it. Overall, it was an interesting experience. While this might not be for everyone, I think it is worth giving a try.

Solo Leveling

Sung Jinwoo is known as The World's Weakest Hunter. despite being hospitalized after every job he takes, he never gives up. One day Sung and a group of low level hunters go into a dungeon. While they beat it fairly quickly they find an entrance to second dungeon upon completing it. Curious as to what lies ahead they all enter to see a room full of statues depicting a king and others of similar rank. However, all that they have to go on is a cryptic message. After misinterpreting it several of the hunters die. Not wanting to meet the same fate the remaining hunters run away leaving Sung all by himself. being nearly killed himself Sung lay on the floor waiting to die. The next thing he knows he is in a hospital bed with a screen that only he can see. This system that he has been given allows him to grow rather than be stuck with the same rank like everyone else. Will he be able to become strong enough to reach his goals?

Solo Leveling was a lot more interesting than I was expecting. It had a really unique feel to how everything was set up. Usually in fantasy type anime everyone has the ability to level up. So being stuck at the same level is an interesting concept. While there are anime's where the characters levels don't change like The Great Cleric, Tsukimichi, and My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1, they all have the ability to get stronger. So in this world where they don't have that luxury they are forced to improve their natural abilities. Both the language and the way people dress is clean throughout the whole anime. I would definitely recommend it. 

The Irregular at Magic High School: Visitor Arc (Season 2)

Just after Christmas Shizuku goes to America for an Exchange Program, and in her place arrives a girl named Lina. During this time news of vampires appearing in Japan starts to get around. Most considered them just rumors until Leo gets hospitalized after being attacked by one of them. However, rather than having his blood sucked out, he lost a large amount of the energy within him. As they look into it Tatsuya and his friends learn that there is not just one, but multiple of these beings that have attacked numerous people and places. Not only that but wherever these parasites are Lina seems to show up as well. Will Tatsuya get to the bottom of it before anyone else gets hurt?   

The Irregular at Magic High School Season 2 was really good. While it is a little different from how season 1 was, the story had a good pace. I also liked how it seemed like not all of the Yotsuba clan looks down on Tatsuya. The language is clean. However, there is a lot of fan service. There's a shower scene, multiple scenes of girls in their underwear, as well as the silhouette of girls fully undressed at times. The relationship where Miyuki has a crush on Tatsuya is continued in this season as well. While it doesn't bother me, I know that is a turn off for some people. If all of the above doesn't bother you, you should give it a try. If you haven't seen season one I would suggest watching that first. 

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Ken Usato has always been an average student. After having his umbrella stolen one rainy day, he runs into the student council president Suzune Inukami and student council vice president Kazuki Ryuusen. They lend him an umbrella as they all walk home together. However, as they walk Kazuki and Suzune hear bells ringing as a magic circle appears beneath their feet. Wondering what's going on Usato walks right up to them and is transported to another world. This magic circle only chooses people who are outstanding in the things they do, so Kazuki and Suzune are named heroes. But as Usato was transported by mistake they still allow him to see his abilities. They learn he has healing magic, as the orb their using turns green. Rather than tell him what it is, the king tries to hide it. Due to this, his plan backfires and the kingdoms healer overhears Usato asking what the green color meant. Now he is pulled away and given physical training beyond anything he has done before. He is even thrown into a forest full of monsters and expected to bring back the strongest bear there. Will Usato be able to survive?

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic was a super fun anime. It had a similar feel to The Great Cleric. However rather than avoiding using healing magic like Luciel does while training, instead Usato constantly uses healing magic while training. Also While Luciel works alone, Usato works with a team. I think fans of Isekai will really like this. Everyone dresses completely modest throughout the anime. The language stays pretty clean as well. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash

Femicia lived a fairly normal life, until she turned five. When kids turn five they are given a skill with a number of stars. In Latomi Village where Femicia grew up they believe that what skill you have and the number of stars you get determines what kind of life you will live. However, Femicia got the tamer skill and was rated as starless. Believing this to be a curse from God, the village chief gets everyone to believe that Femicia should be killed, even her own family. So after living with the village's fortune teller for three years in secret, she runs away and changes her name to Ivy. Before the fortune teller died she told Ivy to go on a trip to the city next to the capital and find people she can trust. But, after seeing that the village chief had put a bounty on her head she finds it hard to trust anyone. Will Ivy find happiness?

The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash was a really relaxing anime. Unlike Isekai animes where the protagonist pretends to be weak, Ivy is actually weak. However, she is still able to tame a slime which becomes her traveling companion. While there is a lake scene in the first episode, it is pretty short and everybody dresses modestly throughout the anime. The language remains clean as well. If this sounds interesting to you I would definitely suggest giving it a try.

The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter Mini Anime

Noir Stardia talks about his goal to free his master Olivia Servant. He shows how to get LP from each of the girls in his life. He also shows that the girls help him out with not just his adventuring, but with his store and private life as well. He also tries to help them with their problems, like finding a way to help Luna have more energy so she can heal more people.

The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter Mini Anime has a similar feel to the regular anime. The sense of humor as well as the feel of the anime is the same as the original one. The only real difference is that this is in chibi form, and each episode is only about two minutes long. However, if you did like the original anime this could be for you.

Gushing Over Magical Girls

Utena Hiiragi has alway loved magical girls, she even wished that she could be one herself. So when a creature floating in midair tells her that she can transform just like she dreamed of, Utena decides to give it a chance. However, after transforming she learns that she is not becoming a magical girl, but a villain for the organization Enormita who is the magical girl's enemy. While Utena is eager to quit, she is held back by blackmail. Will she find a way out of this, or will being a villain not be as bad as she thinks it is?

Gushing Over Magical Girls is a lot different than I was expecting. Every episode was super fun, and I love how you get to see the relationships between the members of Enormita change.However, be aware that this show is uncensored. The ecchi isn't bad starting out, but as you get farther in it becomes more revealing. This show is basically about how a normal girl turns into a sadist, who loves putting magical girls into uncomfortable situations. The majority of it is Utena feeling the girls up, but as far as classic scenarios go there is a beach episode at the very end. Watch at your own risk, but be careful where and who you do it around. It isn't as bad as anime's like Hybrid x Heart and Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World, but it does still reveal a lot of skin. If you don't mind Ecchi anime I would give suggest giving it a try. But if you don't like fan service i would skip over this one.

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.

Tayutayu: Pure my heart

Yumina, Mashiro, and Ameri go to the arcade. When Mashiro goes to the whack-a-mole every single hole is filled with the cat Azrael. However, when Yumina goes to the whack-a-mole there is only one. While Yumina is walking she comes across Azrael again. He introduces himself and tells her that every day should be spent doing your best. He then says that he will do his best as he climbs inside a box that says adopt me.

Tayutayu: Pure my heart was honestly better than the actual show. I wish I could show this to more people and have them appreciate it. I found myself laughing during each episode. Each short is pretty funny. I especially loved the shorts Nue is in. Though my favorite has to be episode four when the entire cast is playing games like red light, green light. There is a scene where the girls are in a hot spring, as well as a scene where Mashiro, Yumina, and Mifuyu are wearing bikini's. The language is kept clean though. If you liked the main series, or just want something funny to watch, you should definitely check this out.

'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess

This kingdoms princess is tough, as she has shown her skills in battle countless times. However, when she gets captured, the true torture starts to begin. The princess is greeted by a woman named Tortura Torture who brings with her rather than torturing devices...a slice of toast. Using the princess's hunger against her Tortura gets the princess to confess. However, there are many other members of the torture team. Will the princess be able to resist them and escape Hellshorde?

I originally started this the week it first came out, but after watching the first episode wasn't sure I could handle the same thing for twelve episodes. However, I gave it another try after all the episodes came out and once Inki and Youki are introduced in the second episode, I started to enjoy it. Every episode after that was super fun to watch. I found myself looking forward to when certain characters would make another appearance. The show has some similarities with Sleepy princess in the Demon's Castle. But in my opinion 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess was much better.  There is some swearing throughout the show.There are also scenes where the princess goes to hot springs for her torture, bath scenes, as well as a beach episode. If you don't mind those, I would definitely suggest trying it. Though if you decide to try it don't give up after the first episode, because each episode is better than the one before it.

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord

In college our protagonist loved to play the RPG Light Magic and the Hero. After being hit by a truck she is sent to that world. However, rather than being reincarnated as the main character, she awakes in the five year old body of the last boss Yumiella Dolkness. But, being the villainess doesn't mean she has to follow the script of the game. Abandoned by her parents, and with the servants holding her at arms length due to her black hair being a bad omen, she decides to spend her time fighting monsters. It isn't until the entrance ceremony of magic school that she learns she has reached level 99. With most students at level 1 how will everyone react when they find out her secret?

Just like all the other villainess anime's out there, Villainess Level 99 was absolutely fantastic. I really liked the humor throughout the show. Yumiella's obliviousness to the effect she's having on others is pretty hilarious in my opinion. Everyone dresses modestly and the language remains clean as well. If you liked any other Otome Game anime, I would suggest trying this one as well.

Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity

When Yuuri Mito learns that there is going to be construction on the shrine of his god, he looks for a way to stop it. Unfortunately when he brings his friends to look at it, Yuuri's childhood friend Ameri rams her scooter into the resting place of Kikurumi which frees all the Tayutai that she had captured. Having lost her power Kikurumi asks Yuuri to help her in her quest to make a world where Tayutai and humans can coexist. However, not everyone is willing to accept each other. Will Kikurumi's dream of coexistence become a reality?

Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity was definitely an interesting anime. The story moved at a slow pace in my opinion. I think there was far too much drama. However, it did stay pretty clean. There is swearing throughout the season. There is also a hot spring scene, as well as a scene where you see Kikurumi undressed as she's sleeping in the last episode. But besides that it stays clean. This is one where I wouldn't suggest it because of the slow pace, but the story was interesting. Also Nue is a great character that makes watching it worth it. If you think it sounds interesting feel free to check it out. 

Isekai Onsen Paradise

After falling off of a cliff and dying, hot springs hunter Kouzou Yukawa is sent to another world. There he is greeted by a fox spirit named Mayudama who has decided to be his guide in this new world. Not long after they get in the hot spring they are greeted by an elf named Lilium. Not knowing what a hot spring is she suspects that the water is cursed, so Kouzou invites her in to show her that no harm will come from using it. Shortly after Lilium's sister overhears Kouzou talking about the benefits of the hot spring and they decide to use it as a way to help her people which are currently in trouble. But will their plans actually be able to bring the other races together, or will the preconception that it is cursed stop their goals from progressing?

Isekai Onsen Paradise is pretty interesting. Depending on the site you use it may be censored or uncensored. Most of it takes place inside of a hot spring, so the characters are fully undressed for the majority of it. If you are someone who tries to avoid ecchi anime I would suggest skipping this one. However, if you don't mind the fan service each episode is only about three minutes long so you can finish it in less than an hour.

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.

The Apothecary Diaries

Maomao works as a servant in the Rear Palace. She has kept her skills hidden to prevent money going to her kidnappers. But when she learns that two of the Emperor's wives children are sick, she tells them the cause in hopes that it will save them. Lihua's ladies in waiting ignore the message which results in her child's death, while Gyokuyou heeds Maomao's message and her child is saved. The servants are called to a room where they are met by a Eunuch named Jinshi who identifies that Maomao is the one who wrote the message. She is then given the position of one of Gyokuyou's ladies in waiting. However, this position change just allows her to get roped into more of the mysteries of the inner palace. Will she be able to solve them all and help those relying on her?

The Apothecary Diaries was absolutely amazing. It is probably the best anime I've seen in awhile. I did read the first few chapters of the manga prior to the anime coming out, so I knew the beginning was good. But, I was happy to find out that every single episode was interesting. There are two bath scenes, but besides that the anime is clean. If you are looking for a good mystery anime I would definitely suggest this one.

The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Mini Anime

Gamma gathers The Seven Shadows together to try and make Mitsuboshi a brand that is recognized worldwide. She requests each persons help to find ways to further the company's branding. Alpha creates clothes that become Mitsuboshi's children line. Since Beta and Epsilon travel all over the world for their jobs they are asked to wear Mitsuboshi brand clothes to advertise it to different countries. Eta helps to create the banknotes that Mitsuboshi implements.

Just like season one The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Mini Anime was super fun to watch. You get to see what happened behind the scenes of events in the series like the John Smith Arc, the hot springs date episode, etc. The language remains clean throughout the season. However, there is a bath scene with Epsilon, Beta, and Eta though. If you don't mind that I would definitely suggest giving this one a watch.

The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids -A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill Got Kicked from the Hero's Party-

After losing a surprising amount of damage after one fight, the hero believes that Rud is holding the party back and not doing his job as the party's tank properly. So he kicks him out. On his way home Rud parties with a group of adventurers who have just taken on a job to escort a merchant to a town not far from his home in Avancia. On the way there they come across a girl who is being chased by a monster. With Rud's help the adventuring party takes down the monster and Rud decides to take Luna to his home. He learns that she has the identify skill and asks for her to tell him the skills he has. Once she does he learns the reason that he was taking damage was his skill allows him to take the damage his teammates suffer and use that in an attack. Not long after he arrives home in Avancia, a labyrinth appears. But will he be able to conquer it now that he has lost his party?

The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids was pretty interesting. I won't say that it was the best fantasy that came out this season, but it was one that I looked forward to each week. The majority of the show is clean, however, there is a bath scene in both the eleventh and twelfth episodes. If that doesn't bother you and you enjoy fantasy anime, I would definitely give this one a watch.

Ascendance of a Bookworm Side Story

Before Myne starts working for the temple, the High Priest sends some of his subordinates to learn more about her. However, the people of the town claim to not know who she is. That is until he asks a group of kids about her. Among that group is Myne's sister Tuuli. When Justus claims that he wants to thank her because he was helped out by Myne, Tuuli claims that it couldn't have been Myne due to her frail body. Justus then asks local businesses about The Myne Workshop where he gets most of his information. Meanwhile Myne is summoned by Corinna to learn more about the clothes that she has made.

Acendance of a Bookworm Side Story was really fun to watch. While it is mentioned that the High Priest looked into Myne during the main series you don't actually see it. Everyone dresses modestly, and the language remains clean as well. If you watched the series without watching the side story it takes place between season one and season two. I would definitely recommend it.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

After going on a ten year journey, Himmel the Hero, Frieren the Mage, Heiter the Priest, and Eisen the Warrior defeat the Demon Lord. On the night they come back to be congratulated by the king they see a meteor shower that only happens once every fifty years. However, the party believed that the view wasn't as great as they would like it to be from the city. So Frieren promises to come back in fifty years and take them somewhere where the view is beautiful. After fulfilling her promise, Himmel dies soon after. It isn't until his funeral that Frieren wishes she had gotten to know him better. So she made a goal that going forward she would try to understand humans better. She comes back years later to see Heiter and meets a girl named Fern who is striving to become a mage herself. Heiter asks Frieren to make Fern her apprentice, and take her with her on her travels. While she instantly rejects the idea because Fern would hold her back, she agrees to teach Fern in her spare time while she translates a Grimoire that Heiter found. After four years, Heiter's health declines. His final wish before he dies is that Frieren take Fern with her so that she won't have to suffer any more heartache. Because of how much Fern has improved Frieren agrees and sets off on a new journey.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End was way better than I was expecting. While a lot of Fantasy Anime are about defeating the Demon Lord. focusing on what happens after is a really unique take in my opinion.You can really feel what it would be like adventuring in a time of peace versus a time of war. There is no swearing, and the characters remain modest as well. I would definitely suggest this to anyone who is a fan of the fantasy anime genre.

The Eminence in Shadow Mini Anime

The Seven Shadows make plans to grow Shadow Garden, as well as find ways to continue making money to fund their operations. Each uses their knowledge given to them by Shadow to further improve on their endeavors. Eta helps make machines to create new products for Mitsugoshi, as well as an artifact to help in times of trouble. However, due to Delta's carelessness she ends up breaking the artifact. Will everything turn out all right for the group?

The Eminence in Shadow Mini Anime was really good. I like how you get to know the personalities of Seven Shadows, especially ones that don't show up all that much in the main series like Zeta and Eta. Epsilon and Delta continue to be the best charcter's in my opinion. There is a Hot Springs scene but since the characters are all in chibi form it doesn't seem as bad as when they are more detailed. Besides that the show stays clean. There is also no swearing which is good. If you are a fan of The Eminence in Shadow I would definitely try this.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer

Rentt Faina has always wanted to become a Mythril Class Adventurer, but after ten years of adventuring has only managed to attain Bronze Class. One day he goes into a nearby Labyrinth and discovers a new area. However, as he walks into a room a dragon is waiting for him and blasts him with a bright light. When he wakes up he discovers that he has become an undead. Due to his drastic change in appearance he stays in the Labyrinth until he meets a girl who learns his secret and provides him with clothes and a mask to hide his face. When he gets back to town he starts over from the beginning as an Iron Class Adventurer. Will he be able to keep his secret that he is a monster in a society that kills monsters on sight?

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer was an interesting anime for sure. Usually in Isekai adventurers move up in the ranks pretty quickly, but this one makes you think more about how hard it must be when you aren't overpowered straight from the start. Also the idea of evolving into different monsters was something that I haven't seen before. Nobody swears in the anime. The characters dress modestly for the most part with the exception of  Rentt's friend Lorraine Vivier. If you like adventuring anime this is definitely one you should give a try. 

We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day.: Letter to Menma

Jintan, Anaru, Popo, Yukiatsu, and Tsuruko all write letters to Menma about how their recent experience with her has changed them. Each one of them still wish for the past, but are more willing to try to create a better future for themselves. Their current actions are inspired by Menma, whether it was something she complimented in the past, or an aspiration to copy the way she lived.

I really liked this Special they created. While it was similar to the beginning of the movie it felt more intimate than the movie did. Their isn't a lot going on visually, but enough to keep you entertained. The language and the way the characters dress is clean. If you liked the main series I would definitely give this a try.

My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!

As a class is traveling for a field trip, the whole bus gets transported to another world. Soon after a Sage named Sion arrives and tells them that they all will receive gifts and become sage candidates. Everyone on the bus receives special powers except four people. However, in order to become a sage, candidates have to undergo special trials. The first one being that they have to defeat a dragon. Rather than fight it they all decide to leave the giftless classmates in the bus to be eaten by the dragon while they travel. Tomochika Dannoura wakes up Yogiri Takato who then kills the dragon just by saying the word die. Unlike the other students Yogiri already had powers back on earth. The power to kill anything just by saying die, also known as Instant Death Magic in this new world. Once the dragon is defeated, Tomochika and Yogiri decide to head toward the capital.                                                                                       

My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against me was pretty good. Usually I like to see the fights they have in Isekai, but I think the way the fights are presented makes it worth it to watch. The anime remains clean for the most part. There is a scene at the end of the season where Tomochika's clothes fall off because her guardian spirit is taken from her. Besides that both the language and the way people dress stays clean. If you like Isekai I would give this one a try.  

Chained Soldier

In this world girls are gifted super powers by eating peaches, While guys are gifted nothing. This has caused a divide between the the two groups. However, these powers are needed in order to fight monsters called Shuuki that invade from a dimension called Mato. Not only do people die from the monsters crossing into earth, but people also go missing in what is now known as Mato Mishaps. On his way home from school Yuki Wakura is transported into Mato where he gets targeted by a Shuuki. Right before he is about to be attacked he is saved by a girl named Kyouka Uzen riding a Shuuki of her own. While they manage to get away they find a little girl that has also been caught up in a Mato Mishap, and while trying to defend her Kyouka loses her Shuuki. Seeing it as the only way out Kyouka asks Yuuki to be her new slave. When he accepts he transforms into a Shuuki like being. After defeating all the enemies in the area he is taken back to the base of the 7th Squadron of the Demon Defense Force. He stays there and agrees to be their caretaker while they aren't fighting Shuuki. Will Yuki have what it takes to defeat the Shuuki and protect those close to him?

Chained Soldier was better than I was expecting. However, there are ecchi scenes in each episode. The reason being is that whenever Yuki does his job as Kyouka's Slave the power requires that he be given a reward equal to his efforts. This comes in many forms like kissing with tongue, bathing together, letting Yuki stare at her body, etc. Anyway the story and world building are good. They also do a good job of making the characters grow on you in my opinion. If you don't mind fan service I would say that Chained Soldier is worth a try. 

Heaven's Lost Property Final – The Movie: Eternally My Master

Tomoki has always wanted to see Ikaros smile. When he wonders why Nymph and Astraea can smile on their own, he realizes that Ikaros is the only one that his him imprinted as her master. So he asks her to delete the imprinting. After she is freed Mikako claims that she is going to become Ikaros's Master. When Tomoki hears this he is reminded of the President's clear lack of ethics and worries about all the terrible things that can come from Mikako becoming Ikaros's Master. Meanwhile Nymph, Astraea, and Sohara search Tomoki's room for a card that will be able to fix the broken connection between two. They find one in Tomoki's pants, but it takes effect and they are transported to a train instead which leads them on a journey with Tomoki's grandfather as their guide. Will they be able to return back to the real world and make everyone happy again?

This movie takes place after the events in Angeloid of Clockwork. I think this had the potential to be really good, however the ending left some things unresolved. It still was really good in my opinion though. While the train scene had the most fan service, I thought it was cool and unique. While there are the typical scenes of Tomoki with underwear, a bath scene, as well as a scene where Nymph, Astraea, and Sohara are all fully undressed. But that scene only lasts for a few minutes. While it does have more fan service than Angeloid of clockwork I would still recommend it as it adds to the overall story.

Heaven's Lost Property the Movie: The Angeloid of Clockwork

Hiyori Kazane has always enjoyed Farming. One day she decides to bring her fruits and vegetables to cooking class at school. It is there that Tomoki Sakurai accidentally bumps into her causing her to drop the freshly washed fruits and veggies. After apologizing and helping pick up the ingredients he compliments how good they look. It is then that Hiyori starts to develop feelings for him. After watching him from afar for awhile she finally decides to get closer with him by joining the new world discovery club. Tomoki isn't opposed to this until he finds out that adding another member will make the club a mid level club and showing up everyday will be required. Not willing to give up his peaceful home life he decides to give Hiyori a series of tests to see how pure her heart is. The reason being is that Sugata claims that "It's the heart and spirit that wants to discover the new world. That's why pure hearts are needed in the club." Will Tomoki's perverted tests succeed and drive Hiyori away, or will Hiyori's love for Tomoki allow her to overcome the trials that come with getting close to Tomoki?

Heaven's Lost Property the Movie: The Angeloid of Clockwork was pretty good. However the first half of it is just a recap of the first two seasons. So you can skip over it if you would like, but I thought it was fun to see the scenes through Hiyori's point of view. The movie kind of reminded me of Mayuri Judgement. The movie was cleaner than the series but there are still panty shots throughout it. The language was clean as well. If you liked the main series I would definitely give it a try.
