Since this is a Slice of Life anime, no particular plot events occur during the series, I sincerely doubt that if you dislike the anime after the first episode you will enjoy it.
A Centaur's life isn't necessarily bad but it quite frankly feels like it cannot compete with other slice of life anime.
The Setting sits at a spot of being simple, but acting as if more were possible. The whole premise is how life would play out if instead of being people everyone were anthropomorphic animals, it many times references how society has changed to comply with this change.
There are some issues that occur
...
within this though.
Probably the biggest issue is leaving the vagueness of discrimination between two beings. Many times, discrimination is mentioned but hardly ever discussed. Its almost like nobody has an opinion on the laws whatsoever and mindlessly follow them. It should either be discussed more thoroughly or not mentioned whatsoever.
It's a show with the formatting of two "episodes" per actual episode with no buildup whatsoever, these episodes don't exactly have linearity and could quite frankly be watched in any order disregarding the entrance of Quetzalcoatl. It's not that there is anything wrong with this format, but myself I enjoy development even if it's very subtle. The only thing that's occurred so far is Himeno conquering her fear of Antarcticans which of course doesn't take long.
The episodes are entertaining as is and aren't too boring, but being a SOL sometimes requires a little more into the show to make it interesting. I feel like this is one of them. Many times some conflict occurs to spice up an episode to make it memorable, while this happens a few times its overall feels very lackluster.
This show is almost like a Slice of Life version of Monster Musume and has many of its same flaws.
-The Justice system is mentioned but not explained
-Characters have little personality whatsoever
-Nothing memorable ever happens
Slice of Life anime is good because it gives characters that are relatable, and experiences that are relatable. None of the characters seem to be memorable of one certain thing or another except appearance. None of them seem to have likes or dislikes. Nobody has a certain quirk that makes them special or likeable, it just feels like you could slap a label on them and describe them in one sentence easily.
I.E
-Horse Girl: Is conscious of her weight and adores her little sister
-Vampire Loli: You question whether this is a man or a woman, is a little fiesty
Basically this show is Monster Musume except this show lacks the fanservice and lewdity that makes Musume at least enjoyable.
If you get bored easily, don't watch it.
