A bloody battle school harem  featuring freedom-loving guy transferring into an all-girls school where man-haters armed with police batons and even actual swords "correct" the male delinquents into... crossdressers? Also he needs to collect five seals from the top five swords to be allowed to leave school grounds. It's like Prison School , but less about female anatomy and more about the girls and sword-fighting styles. 12 episode arc-conclusive partial adaptation of a manga. 10/10★ - A refreshing take on a detestable genre. Strengths: the main character, the girls, the fights, the pacing, well, everything. Full of curious surprises: a competent MC, blades that actually draw blood, characters with very thick traits, a mysterious plot. A great mix of action, comedy and sad backstories. What do people want in a battle school harem ? Is it the battles that are actual fights and people actually end up in the infirmary? It's got it. Is it the weird school wit...

An absolute idiot, high-tension high-school girl, pesters everyone with her boundless stupidity, specially the guy she likes: A-kun, an A+ student osananajimi who's grown real sick of her annoyance but can't get rid of her. Stupid like Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu , fast like Saiki Kusuo no Psi-Nan . 12 episodes of 12 minutes, slice adaptation of a 4-koma manga. 9/10★ - Hilariously detestable idiot character. Strengths: misunderstanding even the most basic concepts of life, A-kun total lack of empathy to what he considers an animal instead of a girl. Weaknesses: pervyness, panty shots and groping. Constant laughter; the short episodes of 4-koma go through jokes instantly. Yoshiko's total lack of intelligence will make you lose faith in humanity. Here we have a character so unbelievably dumb that comparing her to monkey is offensive to the monkey. Every time you'll feel surprised to discover a new and unexpected way in which Yoshiko lacks brains. Whatever y...

A little girl esper child-soldier teleports from another world into a rich top-brass Yakuza's apartment and breaks all the expensive furniture. Terrified, he lets her live there. Feeds her. Lets her go to middle-school as if she were his daughter. Wait a second, what's this caregiver setting?! A mix of Nichijou and Alice to Zouroku , or a mix of Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan and Beelzebub , with bits of Gintama sprinkled on top. 12 episode slice adaptation of a manga. (it seems because of rules about the representation of Yakuza on TV some content wasn't adapted.) 10/10★ - Exceedingly ridiculous and unexpectedly captivating. Strengths: way-over-the-top comedy, character development. Weakness: too few fights despite Yakuza, esper and kung-fu characters. Great animation, clever comedy, and such endearing child characters I briefly felt I understood what a daughteru is about. Surprising in many ways. The very first few minutes of the anime is all you need to realiz...

The overpowered main character, a bored mundane ex-salaryman bald dude, is a super-hero for a hobby, fighting monstrous villains who want to kill everybody for no reason in hilarious battles of epic scale. Being so OP he destroys them with just one single punch, having nothing to fear, and bored out of his mind, he longs for an enemy that can give him some thrill in a fight. A mix of Overlord and Saiki Kusuo no Psi-Nan , with more battles and less plot. Also similar:  Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? 12 episode slice adaptation of a partial well-drawn manga adaptation of a badly-drawn web-comic. 10/10★ - A blast, glorious to watch. Strength: all the hype and OP-ness you love in a battle MC, without the exhausting, gradual power-ups and training. Besides epic and hilarious, with superb animation and battles created by combining various artists' techniques, it provides a clever down-to-earth perspective of the most powerful man's tedium and shortcomin...

The mystical story of Phosphophyllite, a genderless gem-person, aloof and weak, that breaks apart easily, but nevertheless immortal; the pieces can be glued back. Living in an island together with other gems and their sensei , constantly battling against the "moon people" who want to take their precious gem-flesh back to the moon. It has an air of Shinsekai Yori . 12 episode partial adaptation of a manga. 9/10★ - Intriguing, beautiful, and sometimes stunningly horrifying. Strengths: characters development, characterization, excellent use of 3D. It's different from other anime at a fundamental level: the characters don't bleed, they shatter. With that as starting point, it develops into a wondrous melancholy. You know they can't die, but you can't help but feel apprehensive, specially for the useless main character that set out to be useful. This series is a perfect fit for its 3D. Characters don't just have a same face, they have a same body....
