| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I remember reading the manga for this one years ago and a really enjoyed the few chapters that where out back than. Shamefully i didn't read that much chapters so i am happy to see a anime of this, i am really looking forward to what more this anime will offer. The girls are nice as well. Also that reaction of succubus sensei. |
| That was cute, we got introduction of the main characters with the OP song. I think for most parts, Hikari's voice works for her character. Took me a little while to get used to Tetsuo's character though. Most of the episode concentrated on her and Hikari, which is something I had expected. In the meantime, I think the show so far has its humor factor and is fairly lighthearted. Really glad to see Kyouko (the headless girl) too! |
 |
| This was so good. I felt like it captured the mangas atmosphere perfectly. Looking forward to Machi and Yuki episodes. |
| It's like Monster Musume except without the lewd. Dunno if that's an improvement (probably not) but ehh seems decent enough. Probably won't be as good as Urara in the moe department for this season though |
  |
| Hhmm, talking about "demi-human". So basically it's like Monmusu's Inter-species exchange culture or something like that but less lewd stuff and more school-related activity, I guess? |

| The anime is adorable, I enjoyed it. I think I will enjoy it till the series end. |
| Pretty nice first episode. I liked the situation with the dullahan girl and how being too sensitive and pitying her is unwanted, sorta like with some disabled people. Hikari's my favorite so far. So... I take it she actually has strong urges for blood from that one scene but tried playing it off? Anyway, fun start to this season so far. Looks like this'll be a cute, fun anime with some sprinkle of drama here and there, maybe? Looking forward to it ^^ |

| People trying to compare this to trash like monmusu literally are making me depressed. there are literally zero similarities. So far way too light-hearted and comedy focused. Does not seem to capture the more somber surreal tone of the manga. A LOT of rearranged stuff in the first episode for maximum trope-ness too...A lot of the social messages and themes in terms of psychology, adolescence, etc seem to be toned down. I mean if this was done properly the whole first episode WOULD have been the interview. But the additions and alterations and swapping material from further along into this do not really make sense. And what of the interview IS there lacks style needed for it to work as the director is clearly struggling(or maybe not interested) in portraying those things. As a result this almost feels like a completely different product than the manga was :[ I can only hope the Centaur manga won't be as badly handled in form of adaptation. 6/10 at best so far. I am afraid at how they will handle the things that come after the first chapter. Because subtle or well handled this was not and the further along manga handles a LOT of touchy and problematic subjects from our society. I literally can't imagine this tone working for . |

| That was surprisingly good. I'll definitely expect the best of this anime. I don't think there are "0 similarities" with Monster Musume, once both have girls that aren't 100% monsters or animals (they're at least half humanoids, that's what I mean) and kind of talk about prejudgement they go/went through, but so far, Demi-Chan wa Kataritai does it WAY better than Monster Musume. MonMusu is much more about some crappy ecchi and other bizarre things, I can't stand that anime. But I'm very positive about this one. |
SymphoniacTippy said: I haven't read the source but as far as I've heard it was the opposite, apparently they arranged things in order to give more character to the cast which I can agree with, though in fact I like the cast already since they have a lot of personality to them. A lot of the changes just don't make sense. The characters are SUPPOSED to be a mystery that slowly develops as the MC learns more and more about them. Story literally starts just with Hikari(and a lengthy and quite interesting dialogue between her and MC about vampires that explains a lot about personality). The MC is not even supposed to interact with any of other demis till after that(beyond seeing them maybe from afar). Altering that literally destroys the punchline of the first chapters. The additional scenes also clash quite a bit with characterization - Hikari is not supposed to be THIS CHEERY or be THIS FRIENDLY yet as a lot of it should come off naturally with what happens over course of story. I don't think it makes sense for her character to be THAT friendly with dullahan till The show also focuses WAY MORE on "let's make them act cute and over-act" kind of stuff which is not as prevalent in the source. There's a lot more focus on "cute girls doing cute things" and in turn the interactions that felt a lot more real in manga feel way less realistic. The characters are supposed to feel cute in more of an "awkward realistic" sense than "anime" kind of sense. The show feels like it is "skimming past" the social issues and discussing the complexes and all that stuff and instead slows down and focuses on the "cute stuff" parts(ex: the part of the vampire fantasy having overblown fetish fantasy clothes instead of school uniforms) . Which, well, is not going to work for a lot of material. I don't see this tone working with the Its not just some huge change. Just very different priorities of adaptation compared to source. Not to mention the directing is just meh so far not really fitting the material and the art style lost a lot of it's charm by getting "cute-iffied". Will be clear on how bad this is in next two to three episodes which should cover a more sensitive themes. There's a lot of potential for the next part to turn creepy-gross if misrepresented. If they handle that part okay it should be okay at worst for the whole run. |

| Woah, that was the best first episode I watched so far this season by quite a large margin. Having a teacher that is, looks, and acts like an adult feels so fresh, I really liked the Demi girls (Hikari is absolutely adorable!) and the scenes with Machi were very heartwarming, it must be so hard to feel comfortable around being a dullahan, and Hikari talking so kindly and accepting that difference instead of trying to avoid the conversation, and Takahashi at the end to invite her to come whenever she wanted just made me smile so much. I couldn't ask more for a first episode, definitively looking forward for more! |
 |
| Finally a way for a vampire-kin like myself to relate. The patriarchy was holding this anime back for long enough |
| A curve including all entries should be of a gaussian form. One including limited entries by picking animes you liked and not rating animes you dropped should look like mine. Amount of total animes each rating should have (percentages): 6-25,7-15,8-6,9-3,10-1  |
| Well, that was much better than I was actually expected, even though it's such a simple and mellow show. OP and ED are both good, with the ED in particular capturing the mood of the show, and I'm liking the little bits of world-building we're getting about the "demis" in this world. |
| That was good first episode the comedy was fine, the Demi-human girls were cute especially the Dullahan (best girl). I'm glad that humans and demi-humans were getting along together I liked it looking forward for more. |
 |
| Woah, that was seriously really good. I'm in love with all the characters. No tsunderes is a huuuuggggeee plus for me. This didn't have any fan service or sexualize the characters so all that's left is for it to not turn into a harem and it'll be perfect. I'm very excited about this one, and it had a good OP to boot. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this. |
 |
| That was pretty good, I liked it a lot. Characters seem nice, I like Hikari already. The conversation or rather interview between her and the MC was pretty interesting and also kinda amusing to watch. I love how she explained what she thinks of vampires who don't drink blood as similar to vegetarians and non-vegetarians. xD Seems like a pretty interesting show and also feels pretty light hearted and cute. Looking forward to more. |

| not cute like urara moriocho hikari and the ending song is the only good thing drop |

| Best first episode outside of the sequels so far. |

| I liked it. The characters were nice and looked cute and the perspective of the interviews looks cool, like if the show will try to study the biology of the demihumans rather than use them just for fanservice and the likes. Bonus point for MC voiced by Suwabe. Let's see how the interview with the dullahan will go, since her biology seems interesting. |
 |
| Hopefully the succubus doesn't get triggered by random sexual tension... she's in a high school... in Japan... in anime! This was really good though. |
 |
| That was so good! love the humour! |

| what happen to the 1-hour first ep? |
| Wow. I had 0 hopes for this series, but It is pretty good, vampire-chan <3 and Hondo Katie as her seiyiuu is doing wonderful work. Btw, someone compared it to Monster Musume. For me this series is far better than Monster Musume. Dialogues are much more interesting, same with characters... and direction is more... How to put it, pleasant? At least for me. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Felt like it started off weak but got better as the episode went on. Hikari was really cute. I'm looking forward to more! |
| Interviews With Monster Girls was a funny one, didn't think I would enjoy this with what I read about it and being Supernatural, as some series I have watched under this genre has not interest me or have disappointed me. But being a comedy and from A1 Pictures I wanted to check it out and I was surprised on how enjoyable it was, but with some weird characters only been slightly introduced in this first episode it depends on how I will like the them and the overall story before I definitely say I will watch this. Hikari which we are introduced first was an enjoyable character and I hope the other demi's are as fun to watch as her. The animation is good, typical A1 which I have nothing against but the music was forgettable. |
| This is definitely one of my more enjoyed new anime of the season. I think it had a really nice atmosphere and I'm really intrigued by the Demis. I loved seeing Kyouko's face brighten when Hikari didn't avoid the topic of her head. OP was nice, I do like TrySail and the art was cute, liked seeing Hikari's bright personality through the OD Also I really liked that ED, it was pretty colorful and had a nice melody~ |

| Ahhh this was so cute. It's such a feel good show, I'll definitely enjoy watching it all season long. Art is pretty great in this one, and succubus-sensei is pretty darn funny. Vampire-chan and Macchi are super cute. It may be a little slow and uneventful, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. |
| Wasn't expecting much, but was fairly surprised. It's good to see that they're not treated as some massive rarity and that everyone generally wants to get along with them. Was looking for something relaxing and fun to watch this season and I think I found it. Art was nice and all the girls and their VA's looked/sounded good, looking forward to more! |
| I still have 3 confirmed shows left to start but so far this has been my favorite episode 1. Demi-chan seems like a show that is going to be a fun ride as they are building a world of fantasy that is interesting to learn about. |
  |
| Holy Molly! It's been 3 whole years since I've found something from A1 pictures that I actually seem to like! I love the voice actors in this. The whole concept is cute and it just works so freaking well, wow! The characters are super cute and I hope I'll end up liking this all the way to the end! |
| :3 |
| Very cute! I think this is going to be interesting, I'm looking forward to it! |
| it's a good start and i think it will be an enjoyable series to me tho. one thing that attracts me is the character interaction and probably the character itself. not saying that it's something new to me, but somehow it's interesting and fun to watch in my perspective. i just can't get used to the dullahan girl tho xD looks kinda weird. but when i see her head on top of the pillow and looking at her own body, putting her books inside the bag, i feel like i want to help her so badly xD just one thing that kinda become a bit problem to me from the series, the monster trope. i just, tbh i dont really like people making something from other's people idea and just modify it a little bit. although regardless, i think the the trope is pretty much looks catchy with the character xD so i like it xD looking foward to the next episode. |
 |
| For some reason I was looking forward to this show the most in this season, it's nice and has interesting characters. I can't tell why these girls like to be interviewed, and it's kinda weird that the teacher acted like he hasn't seen an Ajin before, I mean he's not new in the school and Ajins don't seem to be something rare in this world. Anyway I'm definitely gonna continue watching. |
| Aaand 3/4 of the thread is "...BUT THE SOURCE!!" Sigh. I don't think I've ever seen an anime that people (who care about the source) found better. You can't enjoy a discussion about an anime that people are constantly comparing and bashing. That said... I really liked the first episode! The vampire girl has a really nice personality. I loved how direct and open she is. I'm totally looking forward to the next episode. |

| Another strange anime... i like it! Hikari is super cute, i love her silly fidgets and stuff. Being a succubus is suffering if you're a moralfag... |

| Pretty cute and funny show. I really like the vampire girl. Some unique little quirks spliced in here and there as well. |
| Man, this was too cute for me to handle. The slice of life vibe feels really nice too. Totally can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Out of everything that has aired so far, this is by far the best one. It was relaxing, none of the characters came off as obnoxious.. it just felt nice and clean (for lack of a better description). I hope it manages to hold that vibe throughout the series. |
| Seems like an interesting series. Probably gonna get some romance in it between the MC and the Succubus, which will probably work out just fine. |
 |
| Fantastic first episode. It has an amazing atmosphere and great character interactions! |
 |
| It's fine, I suppose. Just not my cup 'o tea. Two more monster girl shows to go Moving on! |
| It should be a crime for all these girls to be so FREAKING CUTE!!! Satou was super shy and adorable. Hikari talking to Tetsuo-sensei and getting embarrassed was so cute. Machi waiting for an answer from sensei though....GAHHHH ADORABLE!!!! Loved episode one can't wait for the Snow Women to get more time as well. |

| That was a great first episode in my opinion. Seems like this will be an interesting and fun show, and the characters are interesting as well. OP was nice and the ED was great next to that. Looking forward to what this show will bring! |
