So, I likeВ someВ ecchi and harem anime, when they are done well and have enough depth to keep the story going despite jiggling melons and awkwardly placed motorboating. Loved every aspect of this show! Be warned, unless you wish to have your eyes lose their purity, do not watch the uncensored version of this show. It is what it is, but for a Harem anime, this is about as much as you can expect. The charactershad little in the way of backstory, but they each had a personality that was endearing in their own way. My roommates and I got into many disputes upon which Monster Girls were our favorites! However much I loved the characters, I cannot say that they were well developed. In the same scene that I mentioned earlier, Mia - voiced by Soya Amamiya, from Aldnoah Zero (Asseylum Vers Allusia), Akame ga Kill (Akame), Plastic Memories (Isla), One Week Friends (Kaori Fujimiya), and the voice of Touka from Tokyo Ghoul - delivered one of the most emotionally filled and believable laments I've heard! 10/10 The background music was nothing memorable. The voice acting was far better than I had imagined it would be. Sound effects were enought to support the story and give the animation life. It is in the last episode as Mia calls out to her love, pleading with him to not leave her behind. That being said, however, this show did contain one of most stupidly beautiful scenes of any anime I've seen this year. It is beautifully done, just not anything special. The animation is on par with just about all others released this year. The story is just enough to make sense without attempting to be anything other than a romcom ecchi anime. This anime follows a simple story line and is filled with plenty of fanservice and gut wrenchingly funny moments. So many other ecchi/romcoms have met their fate by way of a superfluous attempt at making an engaging story.

In any case, Monster Musume doesn't try to add in a plot where there shouldn't be one. Or maybe the other way around? Comdey surrounded by fanservice.

I just wish the anime has been more expansive and not felt like a commercial for the manga. Hell, I even liked the goofball screw-up that is Smith. I liked the interesting take on monster-girls, I liked Kimihito. It's actually refreshing to see a protagonist that manages to build his harem by treating the girls like. Unlike many other harem protagonists, Kimihito is competent and now shown to be a complete idiot. The strength of a harem anime, though, lies with it's protagnist, Kimihito. Such as, Cerea was slightly aloof and nobel because that's how her entire race is. The thing that set the girls apart, though, was the monster backgrounds that gave them those properties. The characters were interesting, although they fell easily into harem-trope categories that I have seen before, like air-head and aloof-noble types. However, I felt the ending wasn't memorable, even though it showcases the MON-squad. I particualrly liked the opening song 'Fall in Love', and it was one of the few times I didn't immediately skip to the bulk of the show. An example would be Miia, who apparently flattens her tail when she moves, despite it being round any other time. And when you do, it's not as crisp as the rest of the animation. For one, you never actually see the girls move, or at least, from the waist down. Were humans going to live with the monsters? One thing that wasn't answered was the Exchange part of the International Exchange. The anime did do a fair job explaining each girl's feelings towards the human population as a whole, but doesn't show them growing or changing those attitudes (Kimihito being the exception). Still, the interactions in the anime give you a sense of each girl, how the world is reacting to the new monster population, and how Kimihito is coping with his new housemates. The anime kind of felt like a preview for the manga, since the episodes really only introduce the girls and don't go much beyond that. I would have liked to see more with the story, so I guess I'll have to see what the manga has in store. The girls are part of an International Exchange program to introduce the world of humans to the world of mythical monsters. The girls are introduced episodically, and the rest of the anime shows Kimihito and the girls' day-to-day lives. This story revolves around Kimihito and his household of monster-girls.
