Centaur's Worries is one of the most unique shows to come out in a while. It's a CGDCT show that has just as much focus on social commentary as it does on cute girls. It can go from calm and peaceful, to scenes that hint at the more dark underpinnings of the world. It's uniquely itself and that's something that I can appreciate.

In a medium that seems more and more focused on being polished and pretty, Centaur's Worries is exceedingly minimalistic. The production values are weak and there is very little that is added in sound or animation that really makes it shine. In ...

As of episode 6, I feel confident that I can express what this series has to offer. A Centaur's Life, starting from the very first episode, has always had a different atmosphere to it than I initially expected. But it works.

You go into this series expecting moe monster-girl blob that has already been done with some success recently. But what you don't expect is all the semi-dark undertones to this universe and all of the world-building they inject into it. As you're watching the show it feels like an innocent, relaxed slice-of-life with an interesting gimmick... up to the point when the situation very nonchalantly ...

Do you ever wonder what the hardest thing in this world might be? The answer is to live in it. A title like “Centaur no Nayami” (A Centaur’s Life) sounds intriguing as we take a look at the life of a centaur. For a show like this, it really brings out some unique dynamics. It succeeds at crafting a show that captures the elements of slice of life while adding touches of fantasy and also some other unexpected surprises.

Before we get to the what, who, how, or why, it’s important to understand that the anime isn’t a full adaptation of the manga. The manga ...

Where most myth exists.

A cute slice of life, in a world where a lot of fictional and animals and such exist, a rather fun interesting story and series. What I especially like is just learning about how the world works, their different interactions and rules and such that have been set up.

Characters: the main ones are fairly interesting, each having their own personalities. You have a angel, a demon, a satyr and a centaur who are all friends.

Enjoyment and overall: A very enjoyable series so far, looking to see where it all leads down the road, ...

The "cute girls doing cute things" kind of show has taken many types of setting: a data research club in Yuyushiki, or a theatre troupe in Hinako Note, or simply just high school girls small-talking and hanging around like in Lucky Star. Well, this is one with just high school girls's daily life, too. There are culture festival, marathon event, concerns about dieting and stuff... but with a little twist. This is the world where the mere thought of human with four limbs is a fantasy. The world with everyone is a myth creature, such as centaur.

PLUS:
- Pretty well done and realistic setting for a ...

In a world saturated with slice of life anime, there has to be something special to make a show stand out. For this one, it’s the fact that everyone is a descendent of the four legged animals instead of our world that descended from the two legged one. Don’t ask me how this all works out, they don’t fully explain how and why most of them look very humanoid with just animal things tacked onto them, it just works out that way in the show.

There are a LOT of characters in this anime and although I would consider three (or four) of them as ...

We've all been there before!!!

When it comes to the slice of life its hard to create something new. However, what struck me as incredible in this series is that it tackles very serious topic that in the 21st Century. The mythical creatures that coexist in this anime reflect the behaviors of any other high school anime however after each episode serious topics such as sexuality, questioning of social norms, cultural differences and self exploration are all embedded in the seemingly innocent shojo comedy.

THE ANIME IS GOOD and it doesn't matter if you're and fan of light, stupid comedy like me (..luckyStarIsTheBestAnimu) or a ...

Warning possible Spoilers

After seeing Monster Musume and Interviews with Monster Girls, I was really wondering what this anime would bring to the table, at first I thought it was going to be pretty boring, yet by the end I actually enjoyed it.

Story (8/10)

The story is set in a world where normal humans don't exist, instead evolution has produced many different types of supernatural humans who all have an equal life, we focus on Himeno, a centaur girl along her friends as they live out their school life.
Now the story focuses a lot on the Slice of life genre, we see Himeno, Nozomi and Kyouko doing ...

"If the good people stay alive, the world would be that much better." - Episode 9

Just sharing some info on this anime because it's so underrated. This anime definitely deserves more love and attention. 💖💖💖

Do not be fooled by the cutesy sparkly cover art and anime art 💖. They are cute and sparkly, but they really do touch on pretty deep subjects pertaining to discrimination (be it sexism/racism) and human nature (including religion, superstitions etc.). It actually saddens me quite a bit comparing their universe to ours....

I also love the techniques and subtlety they used to deliver such heavy message but still managing to keep ...

Centaur no Nayami, otherwise known as Centaur's Worries, is a Slice of Life episodic series that follows the everyday activities of Kimihara Himeno and her classmates, exploring topics we deal with on a day-to-day basis such as sexuality, racism, and taking care of a family. These topics are shrouded by a moe art style, allowing viewers to take in a message along with the classic animation they desire.

Story: 6/10
Centaur's Worries takes place in an alternate universe where humans have been some hybrid of supernatural beings such as angels, demons, satyrs, mermaids, and of course, centaurs. Centaur's Worries doesn't have much of a story to follow ...

I only happened to try and watch Centaur no Nayami on a whim. I read the synopsis and looked at the cover and thought the show was going to be a bland CGDCT anime but I couldn't have been more wrong.
The story while having no real sense of progression, did manage to explore a myriad of topics in a way that allowed the show to have additional layers. It almost feels like the show gets philosophical even as we watched Himeno and the cast of characters go through their mundane activities.
The art and animation were standard and the same could be said of the soundtrack. ...

Story:
When I found this anime, my first thought was that it would be full of fillers and fan service. To my surprise, only the last episode is a mix of filler and fan service. I just can't imagine why they chose the last episode for that. What a weird way to end!
The story was a very pleasent surprise as well. Evolution is diferente from what we know. Snakes, frogs, cats were the winners of the gennetic lottery on their world. This scenery is used for social criticism. On the background, the anime hints about world politics (antartics, americans, amphibians and oceanoids politics), but, as the ...

Overall, Centaur is a pretty good Anime to just sit through and enjoy. It did bring more slice of life (and a bit of humor) to the table more than anything else, but I totally don't mind that since I'm a fan of it. But if you don't like slice of life, or if you expected/wanted something entirely else from Centaur no Nayami then I can understand it might not be your thing.

Anyway, the slice of life that is there is pretty entertaining. Not absolutely great or incredibly noteworthy, but definitely fun at the very least. For me, it didn't feel like a chore to ...

This is my first review (well, preview according to MAL) so please bare with me. I find this show so intriguing yet the less than average score MAL users have decided to give this show baffles me. So I am here to state my reasoning as to why I think Centaur no Nayami is not only a good show, but an interesting one at that!
(Note: At this point in time there have been 6 episodes released so I think it is fair to judge this show at it's halfway point.)

The story is a very simple one. It's your typical cute girls doing cute things ...

It was a cute anime throughout, it reminded me a lot of galko-chan which I enjoyed. I haven't read the manga so I'll prob check it out to see if they expanded more on the mer-people. Overall it was enjoyable to watch and if anyone likes cute slice of life this is it. The style was appealing and the animation wasn't bad except when it came to other four legged animals that weren't the main character. I wasn't too big of a fan with the fan service in the last episode but I should have seen that coming with the opening.

Preliminary (11/12 eps)
This slice of life anime about "semi-humans" is at the same time quite average and strange. There are elements that elevate it but are not addressed properly.
For example there is very strange things happening in this world. There are government agents roaming around with live ammunition. Some kind of dystopian totalitarian government regulations about being sent to some kind of rehabilitation centre? camp? if you are racist toward other species. Like if you try to ride a centaur. Also there was this concentration camp episode that was linked to this one characters story about tolerance that wasn't really part of the main "story". This didn't ...

This was a very strange show, I suppose the seinen tag should have given me a clue. It was never theless really special

It's a slice of life with a mostly lighthearted tone about monster girls. Lots of cuteness, likeable main characters. That sounds like something that's been done a million times.

But what CnN does different is depth, worldbuilding, and more mature themes. It goes into quite a lot of detail about the evolutionary and political history of its world, about how various clothes, structures and appliances are adapted for the multitude of species. There are a lot of little comments and sideplots about the protagonist's ...

Centaur no Nayami, also known as A Centaur's Life, is a charming anime that beautifully blends the genres of fantasy and slice of life. Set in a world where supernatural creatures are the norm.

From the very beginning, I was captivated by the unique premise of this anime. The world-building is impressive, presenting a society where extraordinary beings coexist, each with their own distinctive features. The attention to detail in creating these diverse characters is commendable, and it adds a sense of enchantment to the overall narrative.

What truly sets Centaur no Nayami apart is its ability to create a tranquil and light-hearted atmosphere. As a fan ...
