To me, it's kind of more sinister, like sneaking in fascist propaganda in Sesame Street. Not a perfect analogy, but i think you know what i mean.

This was not a very strong start to the series IMHO. For someone like me who loves the manga, it seems like it could be pretty great, but I wonder if it felt a little alienating for newcomers as it completely lacked any sort of "formal" introduction. For those who have dropped or are about to drop, please stick with it for a couple more episodes as it will "hopefully" show what makes it unique. All in all, I hope that it can capture the feel of the manga ands the hearts of the viewers.


Well, what can we expect? Because all of the cool things from this ep that will most likely reoccur later on (racism), I didn't care for at all.

I've heard interesting things about the source material so quite keen to learn more about this world's biology and history.

The SOL aspect's not outstanding but it wasn't bad either.

Ahh, I do know what you mean, and when you phrase it like that, it does make it sound more interesting. I guess I just need to wait to see how it plays out. If they half-ass that part of it, then it will be about what I expected, but if they weave it in well, it could be really good. In the end, I'll be happy if they can catch a single rabbit after chasing both, but it could be a real gem if they manage to include both without it feeling thrown together.

For Emon/Haoliners, this is quite well done. There are lots of QUALITY drawings in first half. But improved in 2nd half. Generally it's acceptable. I think my worries about the show will be badly produced is gone.

It's non sense to talk about Chinese vs Japanese. Since the only Chinese name I see in credit list is Hao Ling Li who is the boss of Haoliners/Emon. Emon is a company located in Japan hiring Japanese staffs anyway. I have an impressions that the team isn't working at its best, probably because there are noobs in emon.

Nope, i can tell you don't know what i mean. I'm not talking about the characters in the anime. I'm talking about the subtext of the anime. If this anime is trying to say "too much equality leads to totalitarianism," then it's not "interesting," it's f'd up.

I've seen a lot of QUALITY in the second half as well, it's hard for me to say which half was more QUALITY.

But speaking of QUALITY, is it just me, or the voice acting was also a bit QUALITY? With most actresses being noobs it's not unexpected.

wait, are we sure that was supposed to be the first episode? because it doesn't feel like that at all. they literally just jumped into the middle of the story, it was sort of hard to follow who's who and what kind of relationship all the characters have with each other.

plus, the mega massive info dump in the middle of the episode was so boring. either they should do it better, or don't do it at all.

but i guess my main problem is the word they're in. its no different than any other basic japanese city. according to them, their world is, from the dawn of life itself, fundamentally different than our world. but if so, surely things would turn out differently than in our world. shouldn't their world evolve in a way that specifically benefits its inhabitants? but as far as i can see, nothing in that show is too different form a normal everyday world.

tl;dr
could've been better. i hope it gets better.
And yes, I meant that.

Still i didn't expect the class rep to be so strict, she was strict in the manga but she seems to be a bit more strict here.
It could just be me tho.

Just a quick question since youve read the manga. Is Nozomi a guy or a girl. In the sub I watched it said her but I figured Id ask just to check
She's a girl but she is a bit boyish as you noticed.

Never read the source material, and this anime's been in my PTW for months now, and I'm happy it's finally airing. Really enjoyed the 1st episode.

8/10 for its 1st episode.

Nozomi is a girl.

The one-shot chapter 0 actually involved them checking each other's vaginas because Hime has a complex about hers since she was a child after another kid compared her to a cow they saw on a field trip.

I was actually somewhat disappointed they didn't open with that one instead of Chapter 1.

So i thought the episode was kinda meh, just really really average to be honest. the fact that there no intro to the character is extremely garing and make's it hard to follow, but for Haoliners it actually good because it so meh as it not dog shit so that a positive sorta.

what kinda weirding me out about the show is the propaganda undertone that seem to be there in a few scene', like was that in the manga specifically the scene were the teacher talking and the military guy are present and overseeing her lesson?

It just is strange to see that in this kinda of show and those few scene just feel like very out of place with everything else going on and it not like in a "oh you thought this was a show about cute girl, when in reality it social commentary on the structure of society and race relations." kinda twist it just feel really out of place and doesn't really build or work toward anything.

In a very strange setting, that seems kind of "big brother-ish" with the looming men in uniform and propaganda like speech from the teacher.

The manga actually makes it clear that it's a guest lecture by some big-name scientist, not what their regular lessons are like. (having two spies for every teacher is just overkill)
She probably gets to make such lectures because she is so opinionated, and the government likes this.

It's actually more about exploring what kind of world would such different people build. Their world isn't totalitarian (unless your surname is Quetzalcoatl), it is just over-the-top serious when it comes to equality.

The major part of the fun is how their world is similar to ours, but different in subtle ways. Like centaur-accessible buildings.

I'm a big Demi-chan fan; Centaur did not capture my interest at all in that first episode. People who know the source material are saying the story gets a lot more substantial down the road, so I hope this can deliver, given some more time. A hopeful 3/5 from me.

You better drop it now. This is a slice-of-life, and there is no "story" in there (at least as far as the fan translation got), just a sequence of interesting/cute/funny events.

You get the big prize. The manga had a chapter 0 before chapter 1, but the anime adapts chapters 1 and 2 (and an omake from vol. 1) into the first episode.
I guess chapter 0 is too hot for TV and might be made an OVA. It focuses on Hime and her two friends, so the readers get to know them better before the start. But the whole crowd of new characters in chapter 1 does appear all at once in the manga.

Yes as i said, their world is similar to ours. But that shouldn't be the case at all, considering the info dump. I feel like this is one of those things better left unanswered, because by answering it, they just made even more questions.

This is perhaps worth its own thread, but in the end, this is an anime for people in our world, that allows us to make comparisons to our world. That's the real reason why their world is so similar to ours. Even if this doesn't seem probable.

To each their own, I guess.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, at this point in time, it doesn't feel like the people in charge of this show knows 100% what they're doing with this show. Now I haven't read the manga so I could be fucking wrong, but it feels like they just made a nice clean and simple, not even necessarily bad or cliché, slice-of-life story about high school students, and then decided to add that extra layer of centaur-y goodness on top of it.

Not much thought put into what ramifications that simple change will have on the overall world around the story.

tl;dr
The world building feels so half-assed, that I would've honestly liked this episode better if it went without it.
And yes, I meant that.

I have no problem with slice of life anime. It's just that I don't care one whit about the characters, yet.

IKWYM. If they continue to highlight that aspect of the series, I expect it will be as a satirization of that viewpoint instead of seriously putting it forth. I've yet to see an SOL that offers serious social commentary whether in subtext or otherwise, so I'm expecting probably Kyouko to say "that kind of (dogmatic) thinking is really old fashioned/stupid/something" and then spend the remaining 98% of the season on cute monster girls doing mostrous things.

By its very idea SOL should be the perfect medium for social commentary due to SOL being the most grounded genre in the industry tho.

Its harder to take "fantasy discrimination of evil corrupt empires in whatever land" than it is when social issues are explored in actual close-to-life setting.

And you're a prime example of just how brain dead the average child on MAL forums can be if you honestly think that anyone with even an ounce of common sense would compare 1 episode to an entire season of something

And if you honestly think that any of the main characters in demi-chan were even remotely shallow and unlikable then CLEARLY your tatse in chatacters and knowlege of characterization and development must be of the highest quality therefore I shall not even waste my time pandering to your flawless and factual statements

I felt like the episode is in the middle of the series.

The OP was cute though I like more the ED because of the class rep, she looks glorious on it :3

Seems like a nice sol like demi-chan

Not gonna lie, I expected more out of this. Nothing it did was outright bad but nothing was really good either, It fell a little flat. In media res is partially to blame. The sad thing about this all is that while this is a Slice of Life anime here I am with a sour aftertaste. Seriously, that biology class scene was just plain creepy, it totally killed the episode for me.

I wanted this to be a happy go lucky show, and while that may still be the case when everything is said and done. It dont think it will ever shake of that feeling of uneasyness completely.

Anyway, 6/10 Decent start.

Awkward start for the show, the monmusu were likable. Damn Kiss was HOT! Probably will remain as a seasonal cgdct if it doesn't elevates itself from the rest.

What's going on with the halos? They're all clearly attached to their heads and same color as their hairs. Is it part of their hair? Is this all some secret roleplaying school for her to feel welcomed?

Also, nice ending song.

Extremely boring show. None of the comedy landed and it feels like there's no reason for the characters to be Monster Girls other than to latch on to the fad.

Very weird pacing, oh well it was a fun watch I guess. Characters so far are likeable. Op is listenable but wow the ED was breathtaking even if it didn't really fit the shows theme

Not as good as the Demis, but still cute and fun enough for me to enjoy watching the whole season. (o.o)

since it's supposedly an SOL anime, it's hard for me to give any serious consideration to the social commentary.


To me, it's kind of more sinister, like sneaking in fascist propaganda in Sesame Street. Not a perfect analogy, but i think you know what i mean.


You seem to imply that social commentary and SOL can't go hand in hand, which is completely wrong. SOL means Slice of Life, nothing is saying that it can only be cute, carefree, happy go lucky girls doing nothing but eating sweets and talking nonsense.

No i don't, quite the opposite, but i would imply that you should quote the right person next time. XD

For someone who read the manga, the "snippets" of "life" is really in cue so far! Its not for everyone's cup of tea, but as a lover of monster girls, but needed a vacation from sexytime fanservice, this is like the only series I know that has "cute monster girls doing cute things".

Gosh I love the trio. But I can't wait to see the Student Prez (white angel girl) with her multiple baby cat-eared siblings! <3 (And Hime's niece.)

Its not a exciting anime, but its the opposite: A relaxing anime.

Though the biology and evolution of "humans" is what got me about their "world".

I mean you literally called adding social commentary into SOL as "sinister" and compared it to nazi propaganda.

And you're a prime example of just how brain dead the average child on MAL forums can be if you honestly think that anyone with even an ounce of common sense would compare 1 episode to an entire season of something

And if you honestly think that any of the main characters in demi-chan were even remotely shallow and unlikable then CLEARLY your tatse in chatacters and knowlege of characterization and development must be of the highest quality therefore I shall not even waste my time pandering to your flawless and factual statements


Good boy, good boy

I would've love to tell you facts of how shallow and unlikable the characters in Demi-chans are but since you already know you won't win in that argument, that's completely fine

Considering you jumped on his back for giving an first impression compared to one show to another says pretty much enough who is the "elitist" one here. And it's just an impression since these two kinda share the same similar concepts (monster girls in highschool).

Being real Tokoya is far from an elitist (and yes I know him Lol).

No, but it's my fault that you misunderstood. I should have qouted everything in my discussion, not just selected bits.

Most social commentary is great. To imply that equality leads to totalitarianism (which is what i said in my original post), if that is in fact what the show is doing, is what's sinister.

I could barely make it through the first episode so I'll put this one on hold. Cute but bland.
Most of you mentioned the manga so maybe I'll pick that up instead ?

I know you didn't. I was too lazy to go to the other page again and look for the original post, lol. I was addressing the other person of course.

No worries. I'm not sure if everyone in a quote chain gets a notification or just the top quotee (and if that's not a word, it should be).
