Rosario + Vampire seasons 1 and 2
Silly but extremely fun show that understands a harem concept is infinitely more interesting if (a) the girls actually have a reason to like the guy (b) the guy has something of a personality (c) the girls are monsters (d) the writers understand when to be funny and when to let the drama unfold, and (e) a fourth wall breaking bat.

So gentle and charming. Tonally this is the isekei equivalent of something like Aria, Hidamari Sketch or Is the Order A Rabbit? whereby peril is at an all time low and everyone is super supportive. It's gentle, nice and easy to watch. It's almost oppressively optimistic, not for the cynically minded.
I guess I should warn that Rosario + Vampire has almost continuous panty shots. But if you can get past that it really is a great show. Like I mentioned the fact the writers know when to be funny and when to let the drama and serious side unfold really is its biggest strength. The comedy was great but the emotional side was allowed room which gave the show way more depth than you would've expected.I enjoyed your reviews of these titles very much and am now more interested in watching them than I was previously (though I was already fairly interested in By the Grace of the Gods)
Yeah, it's great fun. Doga Kobo do great work with these type of shows, and the MC is voiced by Inori Minase who is great in everything I've seen of hers.Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle
I really can't recommend this enough. I was laughing a lot.
Nice. To be fair I watched the English dub which was excellently done as well. The MC in English is Kira Buckland who has always been great but she really shines here (and recently became the first female Jojo but I haven't started Stone Ocean yet). But yeah the studio did a great job with the show. It had a real vibrancy to the art and the comic timing was great.Yeah, it's great fun.

I certainly always find everyone's mini-reviews here very useful to get an idea of shows that are likely to be up my street too. I wish I could add some succinct ones myself but am too prone to rambling heh.I enjoyed your reviews of these titles very much and am now more interested in watching them than I was previously (though I was already fairly interested in By the Grace of the Gods)
