| I liked the concept, managed to keep me engaged, and it's educational too. |

| This is how God made animals. Gods basically putting out ideas and seeing if it's gonna get rejected or accepted. lol. Some parts were funny as well. |
 |
| Loving this, it's such a chill anime. Last time i felt this way with an anime involving animals was Shirokuma Cafe! |
| A pretty good and chilly start, it was surprisingly funny and educational. I liked the characters, each have a unique and silly personality that makes them likable and amusing. Art was okay, no complaints. Good comedy, this could be a good refresher for serious animes this season. |
 |
| This will probably be the show which I just watch while relaxing and not take too seriously this season. I like the characters and how different they are from one another so far. |

| I like the cute animals :) |
| Letra: Eran las diez de la noche, piloteaba mi nave. era mi taxi un Wolkswagen del año 68. Era un día de esos malos donde no hubo pasaje. las lentejuelas de un traje, me hicieron la parada... |
| Wow, finally some good comedy without relying on cheap slapstick humor or just random wordplay. The whole idea is quite innovative and for christ sake finally someone managed to make a fun and engaging infodump on just people talking around a table. I digged each and every one of the characters and their quirks. I want to see more of "definitely not Chinatsu-chan" and what's her gimmick, but right now Kimura is my spirit animal just trying to sink his teeth (literally) on the next creation, along with Mizushima and his obsession on perfect predators. The fanservice is just right, no need to add any jiggling or excessive low angle shots. |
| The opening song!! OOOOOOOOHHH! That rhyming scheme is stuck in my head without the lyrics! I love it so much! As much as I love to see how they discuss actual real animals, I want to see why they rejected animals like what we today call mythical. That would be really awesome. |

Penteano said: with Kanamori and Unabara is impossible to watch, meh I kinda get it but, I still enjoy it. |

No, he's an okama. |
Actually, we don't know even if they're humans and sub sequentially we don't know if Kanamori can be an okama. The designers are never referred to as humans and they're certainly not angels because that's what Ueda and Shimoda are, so only god knows what type of life form they truly are. |
| I was expecting this to be pure comedy, but turns out to be more of an educational show design towards a younger audience.... which is all good and fine... but why is there a Seinen tag in this!?!?!? I am so confused! Overall, was an enjoyable lazy watch. will watch it while getting ready in the morning |

Actually, there is no need to use either <<she>> or <he> in a Japanese sentence... that particular sentence had none so there was no gender specification. This was a decision made by the translation team. ( maybe they had some insight from the creator, but cant tell) Japanese language makes is super easy to keep a gender ambiguous |

I am so confused! Overall, was an enjoyable lazy watch. will watch it while getting ready in the morning The manga is more comedic than the anime adaptation. The gags are way more sharper in the comic. The TV series airs at night so why would you think it's aimed at a younger audience? And it's tagged seinen because it's an anime based on manga serialized in Morning Two. nihon_no_tsuki said: Avvenirista said: Actually, we don't know even if they're humans and sub sequentially we don't know if Kanamori can be an okama.

| we get to learn new things while watchinhg this that must be fun |
 |
 Whoa, this character is hot.... |
| That was very weird and most jokes weren't even funny, but i'll still give it a go. The art style really gives off a NnT/SDS vibe. Strangely, the segments with real animals were the best part. |

Whether the characters are actually human or not is irrelevant, he fits the okama character archetype. In some ways, yes, but overall I'd say no. That's the impressions I got from reading the manga so I'm not sure how Kanamori will be like in the adaptation because the direction will likely be different. |

Her chest doesn't matter, they call her and treat her as a woman both in the japaneseand english version, so she's a woman, a trans woman probably |

| Fun episode, definitely isn't boring at all. How do you go from a horse to a snake though lmao |
| That this episode went to the koala thing certainly didn't help, but I think it was the unicorn bit that felt minimal effort. It was almost just a list of "here's the differences between horses and other ungulates." Then, after the whole segment being on why a horn doesn't just randomly work, they slap it on a fish to make a narwhal and it randomly works. Yeah, I get that was part of the joke, but we don't even really have a great idea what the narwhal horn is even for and we're just going to gloss over one of the darlings of the (western) internet? |
| Funny,amusing and strangely hypnotic in a "I can't stop watching" sorta way. Also love that Anomalocaris that Meido carries round with her(I hope thats a subtle/not so subtle nod to Grisaia), I want one now! Oh,I thought i recognized her voice,its Uzaki-chan! Cool! |
 |
| This episode taught me that giraffes are cool, and eating animals that are plant eaters is pretty tasty. Highly educational content, it's discovery channel for weebs! |
 |
| I like it so far, it has gotten a few laughs out of me with its surprisingly dark humor so I will probably continue to watch it. The part where Kimura was talking about eating marathon runners after the chicken explanation killed me lmao. |
         |
| Ah designing animals to set in the earth, sounds a promising premise. Creativity with no limit. The story was simply and pretty straight-forwarding. No need a hard theme, just chill out, let them design whatever they want, and match it into the nature orders in the earth. The God will be accept it, if it suit well to the nature tastes. This is a fun ride, really suit well as my weekly watch dose full of relaxation and smile. Guess, i just stick this close to this after seeing another iyashikei on these day, because of its nature fun. Lets see how far they've go with all of those creative design. I am pretty curious about the dragon, tho. I hope they can make it too there, beside having a direct let-down. Because of Pegasus can't be even make passed the proposal as its unrealism reason was too strong for those poor myth animal. Rip .... |

| Ok it's curious xD We will see how the next episodes will be and by the way the opening and ending are catchy, they are good. |
| Great start. I found this pretty educational and funny. :) Let's see what happens next! |
 |
| It was fun for a first episode, the concept is pretty interesting, creating and testing new animals, why not xD |
 |
| Ergh....it would be a way better show without Kanamori who is SO stereotypically annoying that I can't stand it when he's on screen. >_> the design, the voice, the overdramatic acting...everything about the character really irks me...WHY do they make characters like this!? Shame because I like educational shows like this. a trans woman probably lol as if God would approve of this...that really takes me out of it. xD |

| Really Unique concept this anime got going, I especially like the various animal facts and the their important aspects. Took quite a weird turn when they designed a literal living sausage which in a strange way ended up being an armadillo. |
