The animation is smooth enough for the show to be watchable and the voice acting really matches the characters and brings out the life, beauty and cuteness within each monster girl. The art style was not super amazing with the artwork looking a bit rushed, but I was impressed at how well the animators have depicted the hybrid monster people and their movements. If the studio had more time, they could have polished the animation match the manga's illustrations. But, I understand that making an anime adaptation is difficult and takes a lot of hard work.
Nonetheless, the idea of a harem with a variety of monster girls is a good one, at least for this anime. Even though the main plot is a bit unclear at first, I found the fan service and ecchi elements to be as equally satisfying as an anime with a serious plot. The anime was clear in the introduction of new characters, but the ecchi element overpowered storytelling, making any story irrelevant which is essential to most slice of life anime. I have not fully read the manga yet so I may be mistaken about the actual story. Regardless, it was hilarious to watch Darling-kun's interactions with the monster girls. It really shed light on the slice of life part of this anime in which I felt like a person who is just hanging out with Mon Musume's characters--almost felt like I was going on a date every week until the 12th episode. This anime does not really need any serious plot at all. It is fine with just comedy and harem elements as "every day life with monster girls" lets life in this anime flow naturally.
Mon Musume is one those anime that has the characters accept that they're in a harem and the MC is not that dense. So, be rest assured that this harem will be enjoyable despite the great possibility that the MC will never choose a girl in the future.
Overall, Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou was a good summer anime of 2015 though not the best of the best one out there, acknowledging that there are other similar series that may be better than this one. But I enjoyed MonMusu quite a bit to the point where I am finding snake and spider girls to be attractive, leading me to question my corrupted life. As a person spectating the shipping competitions, I am looking forward to a second season of this hilarious anime.
Though others will disagree with my rating due to my naivety of anime analysis, I am a "kohai" in the anime realm, hoping that my future reviews will be better than this one. Thanks to anyone who has read this review!
