Here is our review on the anime counterpart to the manga, Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou/Everyday Life with Monster Girls.
The anime is great. The characters are very fun to watch, and lots of action, adventure, suspense, and much more. Although it’s completely based off of the manga, most of the scenes are hit or miss, but mostly miss. Only a few scenes are actually accurate while the rest are either a bit accurate, or they’re not even there and are completely missing. But this is most likely backed by extra made-up scenes seen in multiple episodes. English translation is a complete miss, absolutely none of the words match the manga. Not even Centorea’s speaking which is unique. As for being ecchi, the anime sexual activity and nudity is extremely often but it also keeps it’s limit to it, which is still very high. The animation is smooth and pleasing to watch with deep, vivid colors, lots of depth, and loads of detail. The audio quality is a downfall. it sounds fine already, but it’s extremely soft and completely lacks depth and at some points, amplification. This is mainly observed with the opening and closing of the anime. The opening for the anime is nice, very catchy, but also annoying. But is both, annoying in a good way, and annoying period. Also, Suu’s singing is extremely faint compared to the rest of the girls singing. This is heavily noticed when you compare it to Centorea and Rachnera’s singing, which are very bold. The animation is quite nice as well. The closing for the anime is between heavy rock and light metal. The song is amazing but has it’s drawbacks. Mainly, it lacks depth badly. So badly, it actually sounds kinda mono at some points. The animation for doesn’t really have any animation whatsoever except for the near ending. It feels much more like a slideshow, but it also shows chibi versions of Droppel, Manako, Zombina, and Tionishia. So basically it’s half-and-half for both, intro and outro.
This anime is good, very good. But it does have it’s many draw backs. It has great audio, decent music, great color, art, and detail, engaging characters, and plenty of potential to grow in the future. But the way it currently is, it simply is not, and may never be as good as it’s manga counterpart without it’s much needed improvements.
