Takeshi Season Round-up
The Stunned Hero and the Assassin Princesses
A little ecchi but a lot of fun
Story line is a bit weak but fun watching how the villanesses keep trying to kill our hero and how he passes out everytime one of them gets to close or touches him. Well worth the watch if you want a laugh.
Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter
Slow but good burn
I found this anime was surprisingly deep with the inter-family politics and the coming of age of the how Tina, the daughter of the duke that our MC is tutoring comes into her powers as a magician and the rvelations once she has thoes powers.
Uglymug, Epicfighter
Sugoi Anime, I give it a 9/10
This anime also goes surprisingly deep with the stories of the “rejects” that go to another world to escape ours. Things are not as peachy as they seem with many people just landing back in the same lifestyle they wanted to leave or getting victimised even worse.
Sakamoto Days: Part II
How to have fun with murder and assinations.
One of my top anime this season and I felt that they carried on from season 1 beautifully with even better enemies and had me looking forward to each episode.
Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant!
The mission to reach level 100 by being a good cook.
I love cooking anime and this was one of the better constructed “I am over powered” but this time he actually earns it. The Anime has many twists and turns and proves that sometimes good guys can win.
Ookami Season Round-up
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin
Love the characters and the concept of an evil empire but the leader is a pacifist and Just person
Hotel Inhumans
A hotel that caters for assassins! Exciting and I love that every episode deals with another assassin’s story and most episodes are not predictable.
Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter
A very strong tale of a young mage teaching magic to a noble girl that has oodles of mana but trouble to cast magic due to a magic block. I like how the story unfolded, and it has great character development and great storytelling.
Solo Camping for Two
A very nostalgic anime about a man teaching a woman about solo camping. I used to camp a lot and the nostalgia each episode was delightful. Great storytelling and character development.
The Water Magician
Yes, it is a Isekai. Yes, the MC guy is OP. No, I don’t care because it is actually very entertaining
Shiro Season Round-up
Secrets of the Silent Witch
I wasn’t expecting to like this series as much as I did. Seeing an all-powerful mage struggling to live a normal life, coping with social anxiety.
Clevatess
The best, mature dark fantasy I’ve seen in a long time
Retara Season Round-up
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin

The Water Magician
Fun watch, enjoyed it a lot.
Secrets of the Silent Witch
An interesting insight into an introverts efforts not to be seen. Loved it.
Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter
Good start, haven’t watched the ending but might be a bit of a anticlimactic feel going by the books. Pacing was difficult with this one.
Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant!
Fun, light hearted watch.
Rori rocks
More people should watch this purely for the nature scenes. I didn’t think it would be this good but it is an amazing slice of life.
