You have the hardcore pseudo-military-girl Zombie. You have the spider girl that likes stirring up trouble because she has a bleak backstory. You have the blond horse lady that's all noble and proper but secretly wants to get married. Furthermore, taking the scope beyond the anime itself, it's pretty clear that a lot of the designs were a case of "Sure you can copy my homework, just change it enough that it doesn't look like it". Characters that have to interact with each other just do the things because the plot says to, not because they feel like they'd actually work together. It feels like different writers each created these girls without talking to each other and just stapled them into the same story together without making them have similar art styles or compatible personalities. As an ensemble, they clash, both visually and story-wise. But there's two major downsides once you take them out of isolation. In isolation, each of the characters feels really well designed and thought out, with interesting visual design and believeable character motivations. 7/10 a good example of the mantra that "if you did it right, nobody will notice you did anything" - there's nothing that stands out here as notably good or bad.Ĭharacters: A really mixed bag. The opening is in that awkward sweet spot where it's good enough to listen to every episode instead of just skipping, but the song is forgettable enough that you won't have it stuck in your head. It has a nice upbeat, if generic, OST, and the Voice Acting is quite good.
6/10 above average, but a far cry from high-quality It's obvious most of the budget went to the ecchi 'exam' scenes. And then there's moments where there's some really mediocre CG or just generally bland animation. There's some really beautiful moments with well-drawn characters and amazing color palletes. 4/10 better than some Harem, but still sub-par as far as stories go.Īnimation: Hit-and-miss, really.
Eventually the story culminates in his hardest treatment ever where he has to call on the aid and skills of all of the other Monster Girls he's cured along the way to help him cure the loli dragon, and the story ends with them all fighting over him. Monster Girl is cured, and showers MC in praise and vague romantic hints that he completely ignores because he's that kind of Harem protag. All but the last 3 or so episodes are a self-contained story about the MC encountering the Monster Girl of the week, discovering that she has some mysterious ailment that she refuses to get checked, and convincing her to allow him to examine her in a totally-innocent-but-feels-really-ecchi way. It's almost a slice-of-life anime in that regard. It's less "Let's make a discount Monster Musume" and more "Let's make a generic ecchi/harem anime, but add in some knock-off Monster Musume character tropes". This show is markedly different, though, enough such that I'd say the only similarity is simply having Monster Girls in a Harem. An obvious comparison to make is with Monster Musume.
