Synopsis

On the outside, Agastia is a firm specializing in entertainment, well-known for the theme park it operates. However, beneath such an exterior lies a monumental secret: Agastia is one of various highly advanced evil organizations that aim for world domination. Despite its true nature, the company boasts enticements that make it worthwhile to put up with the work environment. Led by its great leader Akashic, Agastia has recently become a frontrunner in reaching its fellow groups' common goal.

Working for Agastia's Monster Development Division, Touka Kuroitsu is a researcher who primarily does fieldwork due to the eccentricities of her seniors. Kuroitsu's everyday jobs also include giving abrupt presentations and proposals, meeting ridiculous expectations for monster designs, and accompanying said monsters to face inevitable defeat by Agastia's enemies. Nevertheless, nothing will stop Kuroitsu from doing her best if it means getting the promotion she desires!

Watching many anime over the years, I have come to the conclusion that there are two types of hidden gems. One type are hidden gems that should remain hidden for people to dig up and come across their value themselves. The other hidden gems need to be exposed so that everyone knows and appreciates them as much as possible. In my opinion, Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san, or in English, Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department, belongs to the latter. It is clearly one of the most, if not the most underrated anime this Winter 2022 season.

So the story is about Touka Kuroitsu, a monster ...

I love this show, it comes in my top 5 of the season! but the problem is this may not appeal much to the younger crowd, that is the only reason I think this is rated so low.

Power Rangers, Gojira, samurai Kenshin's, old jap superhero shows if you loved any of these, this show is gonna be a great nostalgia trip. But that s not all of It,
It does the fanservice the right way, the nostalgia trip is great and also has a mildly cohesive story on work-life culture and a good Workplace comedy.

plot(7/10)
The plot is mostly CGDCT, beach episodes, fanservice amusement parks occasional adventure ...

Mixed Feelings

A pretty good Tokusatsu-themed parody Anime. Most of the theme-specific comedy bits hit quite well. I wouldn't say it's very funny as I don't remember laughing out loud once but, there are a lot of brilliant comical Tokusatsu genre references. My only nitpick is that at some point, they started loosening the concept and started doing some basic work-life bits instead of villain organization work-related bits. But overall, this is a good Parody Anime entry. I'd watch the 2nd season if there'll be one. Hopefully, with more comical situations involving Super Sentai characters.

STORY (5/10):
The story didn't really have any worth-it payoff, even for comedy Anime ... standards. The Agastia's Monster Development Division's main purpose is to make monsters, which they did make a lot earlier on. But in the end, the final project that Miss Kuroitsu made was a Super Sentai armor which helped them win the battle. The point about treating the created monsters right wasn't really pushed enough. Other than Wolf Bete, we don't really get to see much love for the other monsters as we only get to see them during some filler comical episodes doing non-monster-specific gags. The only ones that really contributed something to the theme are Cannon and Hydra's snake sisters, and the Anti-Blader turned Idol for one episode.
There's also the side-story about the odd-jobber girl that kept getting herself hired to do dangerous goon jobs by her supervisor. I thought that was gonna end up playing an important part in the finale but, it had a disappointing conclusion.
The dynamic between Kenshin Blader and Kuroitsu meeting in person on regular days unaware of each other's secret identities was the only one that has a payoff in the end. That was fun to see but, at some point, Kenshin Blader wasn't really on screen much so, it didn't hit hard in the end. Still a good moment though.

CHARACTER (5/10):
There are lots of them, but most of them we don't really get to see much substance from. Not to say they were unlikeable. They just weren't fleshed out enough.
Wolf immediately took the spotlight after appearing. Some noteworthy characters for me are Hydra's Snake sisters, Megistus, and Uncle Long-range. Karen and her supervisor Heike also did a lot of end-credit skits which was fun while it lasted. Kenshin Blader could've been fun with a little more of his normal life bits but there wasn't enough. So other than Kuroitsu and Wolf, the rest are mostly just one-offs.
Hopefully, if there's gonna be a 2nd season, we get to see characters be involved in situations where their character-specific gags will shine.

ART and SOUND (5/10):
Character designs are good. But art quality is definitely low and inconsistent.
The only thing I scored for SOUND is the OP theme. It's too catchy for me to ignore (*SPECIAL FORCE!!!*). The ED was generic. And it's so forgetful that I had to listen to it just to remember how it sounded for this review. VA's wasn't that impressive as well. No one stood out as a unique character voice.

OVERALL (6.5/10):
I still enjoyed it even with all of my nitpicks but, my expectation for this wasn't really that high in the first place. All I wanted from this was for them to properly deliver the Tokusatsu-parody concept, and for me, that they did. At least for the most part. And credits to them for not pulling too much ecchi stuff. I'm not sure if I want to recommend this but, all I know is that I quite had fun with it. Maybe put it on your list if you're a fan of parody/spoof, sketch-based genre, and give it a try when you're in the mood for it.
