Anime: Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?
Episodes: 10
Genres: Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Supernatural
“Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?” more commonly known as “Problem children are coming from another world, aren’t they?”, which by the way, whatever way you look at it, both titles are extremely long. This Anime is at the forefront of my list today because this is one of the many Anime that I really enjoyed watching. Like all Anime on this list (of course). Although looking back on it now, the concept and how everything flowed it did feel kind of cliche as many anime before it had a similar sort of plot.

Anime: Chihayafuru 2
Episodes: 25
Genres: Drama, Game, Josei, School, Slice of Life, Sports
I have given many high praises to this series as a whole. I’ve talked a ton about the Chihayafuru series, and if you have read them, I cannot talk enough about them. To keep it short, “Chihayafuru” to me is like “3-Gatsu no Lion” both based around ‘traditional’ competitive games, one being Karuta, the other being shogi.

Chihaya Ayase is obsessed with developing her school’s competitive karuta club, nursing daunting ambitions like winning the national team championship at the Omi Jingu and becoming the Queen, the best female karuta player in Japan—and in extension, the world.

Meanwhile, Chihaya’s childhood friend, Arata Wataya, the prodigy who introduced her to karuta, rediscovers his lost love for the old card game.
Anime: Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Next
Episodes: 12
Genres: Harem, Slice of Life, Comedy, Romance, School
The remake of its predecessor “Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai” which in itself is the “lesser” first season. Many view “Sukunai Next” as the second season, however, I do not think so. To me, (as I’ve seen the original Anime too), I personally thought this Anime was its “Let’s correct our mistakes” when we compare it to its predecessor. Something, I think, this Anime did well at. It “fixed” more so, addressed and attempted to make amends with the various issues that plagued the original Anime. Something I commend, because when comparing the two Anime, 95% of the time, people will say that “Sukunai Next” was the better Anime.

Anime: Tamako Market
Episodes: 12
Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy
Tamako Market is a great chill and enjoyable Anime. Being an Anime that is labeled as a Slice of Life and Comedy, you expect it to be fun and entertaining to watch for the average watcher. As a person who watches a ton of Slice of Life and Comedy Anime, I myself found this Anime to be very fun for me. I did kind of ruin the Anime for myself because I opted to watch the movie “Tamako Love Market” before I actually went to watch the anime itself. But nevertheless, it’s still a great Anime to get into especially if you’re new to anime in general, or if you’re wanting to pass the time.
MyAnimeList Synopsis
Inside the Usagiyama Shopping District lies an eccentric but close-knit community of business owners. Tamako Kitashirakawa, a clumsy though adorable teenage girl, belongs to a family of mochi bakers who own a quaint shop called Tama-ya.

Intent on his mission, Dera follows Tamako home and develops an addiction to mochi, becoming painfully overweight and subsequently unable to fly back to his homeland; thus, he takes up residence with Tamako’s family and becomes the community’s beloved mascot.Meanwhile, Tamako’s friend, Mochizou Ooji, continues to hide his true feelings for her. Their fathers are fierce mochi rivals, but will it be enough to drive a wedge between Tamako and Mochizou? And just what will happen to Dera’s task of finding his prince’s destined bride?
