Megami-ryou no Ryoubo-kun. (Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory)

Twelve-year-old Koushi Nagumo's life suddenly goes downhill when his father abandons him after their house burns down. Left to fend for himself, Koushi collapses on the street, but an eccentric woman named Mineru Wachi takes pity on him and brings him to the female dormitory "Megami-ryou."

After learning of Koushi's situation, Mineru, who happens to be the temporary manager, invites him to become Megami-ryou's official dormitory mother. However, what awaits him are the dorm's residents—each with their own wacky shenanigans—like the androphobic yet gentle Atena Saotome, the feminine tomboy Kiriya Senshou, and Mineru herself, whose recklessness knows no bounds when it comes to science. Despite this, Koushi does his best to fulfill the duties of this crazy new life!

In case it wasn’t clear from the promotional material, Megami-ryou is a transparent appeal to lovers of ecchi harem fanservice. There is no attempt at constructing a continual narrative nor to create riveting characters who act in genuine ways. This is literally designed for the viewer to watch with their pants off as six girls all desire to hump one boy. If that sounds like something you’d be into, this show is golden. If not, you shouldn’t be watching.

For those that fall into the intended audience - you’ll be pleased to know that this is not the type of ecchi that will manifest censorship beams ... across the bare bosoms and bottoms of the harem, only to later remove them in a BD release. The nudity was totally uncensored upon airing on ATX channels, as far as Japan’s decency laws will allow for, and delivers the goods within the first few minutes of episode one. You will see accidental groping of tits, accidental slipping into the missionary position in the bathroom, intentional stripping in front of the MC in order to attract his attention, and an endless amount of other scenarios that high level degens should be familiar with.

Megami-ryou also succeeds in having an aesthetically attractive and diverse best girl cast. You have the adorably naive, caring Athena who acts like an onee chan to the main character. She has nice tits. The shy goth cosplayer Frey who loves to use the MC as a fashion model. She has nice tits. The dorky bespeckled researcher Mineru...she has nice tits. There’s a loli, because why not. There’s a cute mysterious kuudere grill in Serene - ofc with pale blue hair, and a fiery tomboy with crimson red hair with tsun tendencies. Basically all the popular fantasy girl templates are present in the show - truly someone for everyone of the proud degens who watch the program.

The young main character - and I mean young, he's twelve, may be a turn off for many who prefer their harem leads to be peers to the girls that pursue their balls. Afterall most people who watch this program will be double the age of Koushi. But this does tap into a fetish that many degens have of seeing young, submissive leads receiving a crash course to puberty by the aggressive and fully developed beauties that surround them. Is it morally wrong for a twelve year old to be in such an environment? Yeah. But that's part of the appeal, I think, as being told something is forbidden can make it more tantalizing.

The immediate comparisons for this show are Asa Made Jugyou and, more recently, Sunohara-sou no Kanrinin-sa. Both revolved around a timid young boy surrounded by gorgeous girls who all find him adorable and crave his attention. Neither of these harems truly “went” anywhere insofar as intimacy or a conclusive ending, because that’s never the point of these shows, only to endlessly tease and explore the possibilities of what could occur in this fantasy scenario.

This however does raise a fair complaint concerning the cyclical, sexually non-committal ecchi of this nature though - wouldn’t this premise be better executed as a hentai? If you were in this situation as the MC, would you be able to resist the open invitations to have sexuale relations with with these girls as the MC never does? This is a common “problem” with full immersion into the ecchi genre as the decision making of the MCs is consistently unbelievable, minus a few rare cases. This problem in and of itself is why I’d have to dock the score a bit, despite being a success in ways that an ecchi is intended to be.

What you see is what you get here. This is very much so a derivative of past successes and isn’t reinventing the wheel in any shape or form. But because there is so rarely these days ecchi anime that are willing to be fully nude romps that showcases the female anatomy in ways the viewer wishes they could irl, this shines as a perverted wish fulfillment tool that harkens back to days where these types of shows were much more plentiful. For that reason it should be particularly celebrated as a recent success of the ecchi genre that has been starving for a bit for more bolder works.

Mother of the Goddess’ Domitory is one of the most bizarre shows that I've watched this season particularly due to how the show presents it’s material.

It doesn't take a galaxy brained genius to figure out that this show is basically paedophilia with extra steps, 80% of the show is just a 12-year-old kid being molested by big boobed women it's fucking creepy and extremely uncomfortable. I'm not overly familiar with eechi genre but this show almost has every eechi trope that I'm aware of.

But what's particularly strange is how the show attempts to present this material in a somewhat satirical manner, I feel like ...

TRIGGER WARNING: PEDOPHILIA, GROOMING, SEXUAL ASSAULT

Wataten and Uzumaid walked so this anime could run.

Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory is softcore child porn similar to Boku no Pico. Except instead of a man molesting a child, multiple women molest a child. In terms of pedo-bait anime, this is probably the most shameless one so far—plenty of nudity, sexual innuendos galore, and even sex.

After his father abandoned him, a suspicious woman offers a 12-year-old boy named Koushi a place to stay. Upon entering his new home, three residents of the all-female college dormitory greet him in the nude: jiggly jugs, nipples, and all in uncensored grandeur. One ... contrived sexual encounter after another, and now Koushi is their “dorm mother." He's tasked with laundry, cooking, and cleaning. As he interacts with the women daily, they overtly flirt with him and vie for his attention, even though he is obviously a minor and they are adults.

There are five child predators, I mean lovely women, who live in the dorm. Each lady has a distinct personality that will be recognizable to fans of the harem genre. The woman who found Koushi, Minera, is a mad scientist. She works in her underwear with no bra because that’s very practical attire for working with toxic chemicals. The goth girl, Fley, forcibly dresses Koushi in sexual cosplay outfits at any chance she gets. This embarrassment quickly turns to sexual assault because she misunderstands his politeness as flirting. The silver-haired girl follows the quiet and submissive archetype (Similar to Koneko and Kanade Tachibana). She also sexually assaults Koushi. Kiriya, the red-haired girl, was raised with brothers and often gets nervous when Koushi treats her like a woman rather than a tomboy. As time passes, the writers give her more screentime—their relationship becomes increasingly more sexual.

The most prominent female character is Atena, often framed as a fragile shrinking violet rather than a predator. She is afraid of men because, for some reason, she was never around boys until going to college. If she comes close to men or 12-year-old boys, she gets uncontrollable nosebleeds. After Koushi accidentally gropes her a dozen or so times, she becomes more tolerant of boys. The primary joke is that she is uncomfortable around him, but they keep sexually assaulting one another coincidentally. Koushi expresses no romantic interest in Atena, but she develops feelings for him. Those feelings manifest as an incest fetish when she learns she enjoys him calling her “older sister”.

Lastly, there is a sixth girl, Sueta, who is about Koushi’s age. She frequently visits (and abuses) him at the dorm. I can summarize her personality as ‘violent tsundere’. She hits him whenever he gets flustered as a natural response to a precarious sexual situation. As much as I hate the molester girls, I resent Sueta’s inclusion in the show because they use her for pedophilic fan service. I’m not interested in “it’s just a cartoon” debates. You are welcome to your opinion. Mine is that it’s creepy to sexualize kid characters.

The only thing that could be qualified as character development is how the girls progressively sexually harass Koushi in more creative ways. All I see are tiresome archetypes and stupid contrivances for fanservice moments. Occasionally there is drama, but it is immediately interrupted by groping, panties, cleavage, or nipples, so you can never really take it seriously. In my opinion, this anime is deplorable bottom-of-the-barrel scrapings. “Haha look at these hot girls sexually harassing a child” isn’t a funny joke. It’s just someone’s fetish. Why not make hentai rather than a full-length TV show? No one is getting fooled.

There are a few bizarre situations where it departs from generic harem cliches and takes a sharp turn into fever dream territory. A few highlights include: A chemically induced lesbian orgy, a 12-year-old girl gets diddled by a fish, girl falls on Koushi’s dick through the ceiling. Yes, it has the same premise as the softcore hentai classic “What She Fell on Was the Tip of My Dick, Joshi Ochi!” There’s also a homage to the famous hentai “My Brother’s Slipped Inside Me in The Bathtub” in one early episode. Seeing how absurd Goddess’ Dormitory would become is the main reason I kept watching it.

Based on the ecchi x harem genre, it succeeds in the breast department. The titties are bountiful and uncensored. It would get an 8/10 if you removed everything except for the 20 seconds of titties in each episode.

Art-wise, it is clear that time, talent, and budget went into this production. Thanks to the lack of animation, the character art generally looks consistent. I noticed they forgot to add sound effects, like footsteps, which seems like an amateur oversight at random points. At least the opening and ending are catchy tunes. All of the voice acting is phoned in, to put it nicely. The performances made me miss the days of over-the-top acting in High School DxD. After a streak of dumpster fires, Asread probably adapted this to get a quick check from their investors. Hopefully, it is just one minor disaster that everyone involved forgets. All I want is for Asread to go back to making hilariously bad anime like Big Order and Arifureta.

I would recommend you avoid Goddess’ Dormitory like the scourge it is.
