Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou, an unexpectedly amazing & very unique title that has lots of men buying tissues and lotion, than merchandise for the series.

Story 6.5/10

The story and plot was more of a prologue. The lack of major backstory about the monster girls homes & origins coupled with the quick introductions were another reason why I felt like this was just a prologue. In addition to that, the characters being introduced one by one and the story, by the last episode, feels like the start of the real story. It's overall presentation was pretty strange. There is no real character development nor is there any "set plot" for episodes in Monster Musume. What I loved most about the story is that it manages to be a good amount of sexually arousing along with being both fun & exciting! I like that the story, although a bit choppy, focuses more about having fun and really getting into understanding the bizarre lifestyle that Kimihito has to endure now that he's been forced into the whole human and monster living together program, thingy... In my opinion it sort of makes an interesting story, although not great, still interesting enough to watch. Considering how much this show is being talked about among-st mostly males in forums, I don't think Monster Musume is going out of style anytime soon.

Sound 6.5/10

Interesting, nothing too special though. I did enjoy the opening & outro songs because they were catchy.. Hey SMITH-SU.. the background music unfortunately, none of the songs stood out too much, audio fell flat for the most part and the erotic scenes, the music, sounded like generic stock music. I didn't think the composer did a great job making the soundtrack. Now the voice actors, if it wasn't for them then I would've given the soundtrack a 6.0/10 however I'm kind of glad that's not the case. The seiyuu's involved with this series did a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life. If Monster Musume has its well deserved season two then I would hope that no changes to the voice actors are made. The actors are able to synchronize their voices perfectly in order to fit the characters unique personalities. I give the most credit and respect to Junji or Kimihito's voice actor because he has had experience with titles similar to this. Roles were he has to go over the top with his voice, for example making crazy noises, yelling, moans etc. I was more impressed with the voice actors than anything else in the sound department.

Characters 8.3/10

Perhaps one of the best cast of harem characters I've seen lately! In my opinion Monster Musume's strongest appeal factor is the characters. If you like harems, and love monster girls, then Monster Musume is the show for you. I didn't dislike any of the girls on the show. The MC however was so one-sided in personality that he sort of dragged the other characters back. Personally I don't even have a favorite character because deciding who is best is just too much to bare! (Yes, boob puns intended.) Overall I enjoyed the characters. I would assume by reading this you've already established that though.

Art & Animation 8.7/10

Perhaps the biggest reason to watch the show (if you're into Ecchi) is how well the character designs are. While the proportions of the female characters were a bit over exaggerated, it doesn't negatively affect the qualities of the characters. They are monster girls so of course their bodies are different. Nonetheless, Okayado character designs for Miia, Rachnera, and the bunch of adorable monster girls were perfection. The animators who brought his designs to life did an excellent job making them appealing for all viewers.
The animation would be the second best thing. Special effects used in many episodes improved the feel, the mood rather depending on what characters were being shown. From the first episode we see Kim' and Miia waking up, together in bed. The sunlight in the room, the lighting, it really makes the settings have a realistic feeling in an already fantasy world. My personally favorite effect would be the episode where Miia decides to go all metal gear solid's Snake.

Enjoyment & Overall feeling 8.6/10

Enjoyment was a main goal in the entirety of the monster musume anime. Keeping the viewers entertained by wild and erotic means is perhaps the best thing about the show. Having fun, letting loose, and making the best of a bad situation is a few things that the series offers with pure adult entertainment being it's key ingredient for it's success among-st fans. Give it a watch, it's pretty damn enjoyable!
