Re:Monster Episode 12 Discussion

Finally made it to Osvel at last.

The group finally arrived at the capital city of Osvel. After receiving their reward from Rubiria, Ogarou and the rest of the gang decided to return to their village. Meanwhile, Dhammi, troubled by Ogakichi's newfound strength, felt weighed down by the fact that she was still only a Dhampir. Sensing her distress, Ogarou initiated a special training regimen for Dhammi with the help of their friends. By having her defeat giants created using his own skills, Dhammi gradually leveled up. And then, dawn broke. Dhammi had leveled up.

Yeah Ogakichi might've lost to Ogarou, but the fact that the fight lasted till midnight astounds me. Clearly he isn't weak. I mean, if it was stressing out Dhammi, then there's no doubt that he's gotten really strong. But Idk if making a pitstop in the middle of nowhere just so she could level up was necessary tho. They could've waited till they got home, but whatever. It did work, which is all that matters ig. This dude Gobji tho... bro really died with a boner... LMAOOOOO. The only good moment that came out of this finale.

What a load of nothingness did this show bring. It started off so bad it's good, but then just gradually became so bad it's just shit.

While I normally think people hating on stuff are overreacting.... this show really was kind of crap.
Visually, it wasn't bad. And there were some interesting concepts. But the show had no real substance to it, other than as a vehicle to show off some random character designs and some weird multi-species harem breeding fetishes.
It is also ballsy ending the show with them being called into an adventure that sounds like it'd actually have something interesting happen.... but it seems highly unlikely that there'd be a season 2 based off of how poor the first season was.
Like, if there was more interesting stuff, then a lot of the "first 120 days" b.s. could have been condensed into 3 or 4 episodes, to allow for the rest of the show to have the interesting stuff actually exist.

Such a pity.

And so we end the 127 Day look into the life of Ogurou and crew with new evolutions, new names, Gobjii's farewell, a fighting festival and the hint of a new mission likely covered in season 2 if we ever get one.

On the whole I liked this series, but I must admit the first several episodes got more enthusiasm out of me than the latter ones. I don't think the latter episodes were worse narratively or anything, it's just that the day-by-day gimmick which seemed novel at first became less so as time went on. The power creep and just general structure became kinda stale by the end. I'm not sure if that would continue to be the case in a second season, but I still did enjoy this enough to check one out if it came. Solid 7/10.

Edit: Also kinda surprised by how negatively this was received on here lol. I don't care enough to defend it or anything, but it is rare when I end up enjoying a series more than the general community. Usually I'm the hater if anything.

Well after watching it animated, I've come to the realization of just how repetitive the series became. I got fatigue when I was reading the manga and now I get it after seeing the series animated...it's just a consistent cycle of the same brain: fight, eat, bang, sleep, level up, and rinse and repeat.

The memes the internet created trying to figure out how Ogarou's waifus could handle that monster D was the funniest thing. But glad it's over. 6/10

So that’s it eh. I’d be lying if I said I’ll miss this. Started really interesting, fell off and became some really weird rape/drugging apologist type story, got good again when they introduced the really powerful dude Ogrou fought and set up his allies as potential foes.. then fell off again.

This finale was decent though, Aporou and the others’ new evolutions were cool and Gobiji got to see all his surrogate kids and the grandkids one last time.. it is remarkable seeing how far they’ve all come

Kanami new evolution was great too! Her whole character been about wanting to stand beside Aporou as his wife and have kids so fair play, as consort she’ll be able to do that.

Bro still not knowing the red hair girl name is hilarious

Those parabellum outfits do look great.. show had potential for sure

Gobiji going out in style

No need to get caught up in details you get the point. He raised them so whatever generation he belongs to doesn’t matter, he’s their dad for all intents and purposes

Interesting premise well wasted, not looking forward for a sequel, not worth to rewatch, 6/10.

I kinda felt sad when that old guy died, but he lived a good life witnessing a massive change in the goblins he fostered. So, does this mean a second season might be in the works considering how they ended this episode?

What a weak episode, the show just kind of flopped over and died at the end. The premise of the story was really neat and I thought the first couple episodes were promising, but in the end it never did anything all that interesting or unique with its premise. The harem felt unnecessary and weird how every chick was throwing themselves at him, but I guess one point in Re:Monster's favor is the main character wasn't a shy awkward guy always freaking out or stammering whenever a pretty lady talked to him.

Week to week I didn't mind it that much, but as a whole, didn't excel at much of anything. 5/10

@el_morris They arguably would need to wait a few years, since I think there were already enough chapters to adapt years ago, but the director and author may have really been hashing out the adaptation process, since there's a LOT of changes if you read the manga

So, it's finally over. Yeah, I hated it. Good fucking riddance. 1/10.
