OP is trash.
ED is generic af.

They are trying to reel in on the yuri. First episode was pretty meh. The manga has beautiful art and an entrhalling world, but the anime lookedgeneric compared to that. I do hope it'll change.

And that the Chiis will save the show.

Didn't like this one at all. I don't like the character designs, not really a big fan of Slice of Life (even less so when it doesn't mesh at all with the weird totalitarian vibes), and I'm 1000% sure that the yuri-bait opening has no payoff.

Centorea-san does not approve.

The best way to describe it as there's two parts.

There's the parts we see from the main characters perspectives and how they live which is the slice of life part but there's also the over-arching picture that develops that the main characters don't see or don't notice (or aren't allowed to notice) that develops overtime that really only we the viewers/readers are allowed to see.

Decided to pick this up late since I was unsure what to watch next. Almost seems too slow for a slice of life...might drop it later. Wasn't a bad watch though.

Cute monster girls doing yuri stuff, cute monster girls doing slice of life stuff, SUDDEN communist dystopia and heavy criticism of Western Society with the government watching at all times and it is illegal to discuss inequality. On top of that: Equality above freedom and life as slogan screams crazy communist government has taken over. Then back to cute monster girls doing a play.

Then I saw this is a Chinese show, and all the pieces of puzzle suddenly fit together perfectly. Communist dystopia is average everyday life in China.

Show was mostly boring though.

Yuri nice start with that centaur saving prince. Lecture seems oddly serious, usually students sleep it off.
Nice ost, soso art ok for chinese. Characters mildly fun.

not a bad episode, definitively not bad,
i notice lots of the stuff found in the manga isn't there, but i suppose a bunch of fluff wouldn't miss some of the fluff anyway

doesn't seem to be too heavily censored though, much enjoyment there.
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.

Put off watching the first episode for so long. First I decided to read the manga before starting the show, a used bookstore had the first seven volumes so I figured why not. After falling in love with the manga, I discovered this anime is being done by Haoliner's Animation League, a group with a sordid track record (e.g. Bloodivores). I finally got up the courage to watch the first episode after my brother assured me it wasn't horrible.

The manga does a better job of establishing the setting off the bat, but I understand exactly why they couldn't have used the first story from the manga (the content is a tad mature). The animation is a bit iffy in places, but overall okay. I think they did a pretty good job of capturing the atmosphere and feel of the characters from the manga. All in all, I'm pretty satisfied.

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?

Yes, it is part of their hair. Angels' hair just grows into a halo like that.
(but you probably already know that from later episodes)

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).

Only the last/top person gets a notification. If you want to make sure other people noticed too, you have to address them with @. Like this: @Anime_Dog

I would like you to stop confusing any ideology with Communism. Centaur's Worries Japan is a capitalist society with remains of an older class-based society, just like real Japan. People can be richer or poorer, there are private businesses and lots of stuff.

Although as other series, focusing on monster girls, what interests me most of the entire series, is to discover the various designs of the characters, the rest passes in the second floor. The centaur girl named Himeno is pretty nice and the narration is a bit different from the usual, I think it's a hobby, and I like it. The beginning is a bit weird, but some things in the story look interesting. Let's go ahead with the vision!

Honestly, the story being told in the show's history seems more interesting than what is actually going on.

If the systematic racial issues are going to become a fairly central topic in the show, why on earth would they make the first segment a pile of yuri-bait slice of life crap with nothing original to its name except "hey look some of our students have four legs or horns!"

The OP is a total mess too. It already looks like this show has no clue what it wants to be.

For a SOL anime, their backstory and history is pretty dark.
I snickered at their assessment that if ever 4 limbed species would've evolved instead of them, there would'nt be much differences between them therefore there won't be any discrimination and wars compared to their dark and chaotic past.
"Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum.
They should really do their whining at manga forums.

I guess every series needs its own gimmick to help it stand out.

That being said, I suppose it's interesting that A Centaur's Life is taking the divergent history route to explaining why non-humans are the dominant species on Earth, as opposed to having a co-existence or some hidden society of non-humans. In that regard, the show could explore an imagined society of various sentient fantasy species. I'm surprised at how quickly it brought up race and species-based discrimination and slavery. Still, I don't know. It just feels too easy to write comedy and drama by just bringing up obvious differences in physical characteristics. But, well, whatever works.

Episode 1 wasn't the greatest in my opinion. I understand you have to keep an open mind about these things, but there are so many things that didn't make sense. They explain more throughout the series, but it's still hard to keep up.

Honestly, I could have gotten into it more if the main character wasn't a centaur. Like I said before, I know you have to keep an open mind, although it's hard when she takes up almost the entire screen and portrays herself the way she does. She gets put down by Nozomi a little, which helps, but I feel like it would have been better in a different situation, rather than a school and "normal life" activities, especially when she sees herself like a princess.

The show, to me, seems like compensation, and would have been a great premise under other circumstances and settings.

What is your issue with her being a centaur?
