Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls

Some animes are just perverted to be creepy. This is an entire other story. Yes it is perverted. But it's also really great and well done outside of the perviness.

It's only a teasing show nothing more. I don't like how they play with the audience

As you know, I am always on the lookout for new anime to see and manga to read. I came across this manga, and I thought it was really funny. I had already read all the way through volume #1. It has quickly become one of my favorite manga series, featuring mythological monsters, also known as liminals, such as lamias and harpies.

An anime adaptation of the manga surprised me in July. I took a peek at episodes on Crunchyroll, and I found the series awesome! The series is about an "Interspecies Cultural Exchange" program in which all the monsters we have read about are real. The program also involves featuring the liminals as representative visitors. The liminals, like humans, also fulfill tasks. Lastly, humans and liminals must not harm each other. Kimihito Kurusu, a Japanese student, unwillingly houses six liminal girls as part of the program. But these girls are crazily in love with him: Miia the lamia, Papi the harpy, Centorea (or Cerea) the centaur, Suu the slime, Mero the mermaid, and Rachnera the "arachne" (spider creature).

I love Papi and Cerea; I think Kimihito and Miia's chemistry is starting to get genuine, even though she does try too hard. So all in all, I love every bit of this sexy fantasy comedy series.

Starting with a mistaken identity and continuing with cultural differences "Monster Musume" is a surprisingly cute anime with a fresh take on the harem cliche.

Add in creative ways to squeeze in lol-worthy "Fan Service" (though it does get over the top at times), clever monster introductions to the harem (to say nothing of their interactions with each other) and you end up with a very watchable anime.

Pros:

• Good cast of characters.
• Amusing ways to give the viewers "Fan Service".
• Silly in all the best ways.
• Amusing 4th wall humor.
• "Monster Manual" style species breakdown at the end of episodes.
• Consistent animation.
• Solid soundtrack.
• Fantastic English Dubbing.
• Multiple OVA's and Specials (with English Dubbing).
• Season two confirmed this year.

Cons:

• Ecchi moments get a little over the top at times.

This show is the first anime I ever loved and have since been watching many others just like this one. I'm a sucker for romance and this show has all the romance I could ask to see. The characters are great and the setting is cool for a harem series. I really wished that something similar to this could have happened in reality where one guy has to house a bunch of women and they all fall in love with him. It's a shame that this is all fiction but it's my kind of fiction to enjoy for the rest of my life. I'm great full to have stumbled upon this show and the many others that are quite similar to it.
