in simple terms, I greatly enjoyed this show. It is an excelent blend of educational and genuinely funny. When it comes to shows that incorporate learning into their story, it hits the sweet spot. Too much can also make a show seem boring or tedious. Too little leaves you wanting more. This anime hits the perfect balance. It makes you want to tell the nearest individual what you have learned after watching. The characters are refreshingly diverse. Many anime follow similar outlines for all of their characters with little room for nuance, especially when it comes to gender. Heaven's Design Team's characters throw out gender roles completely. They are true to themselves and are unconcerned with meaningless things like gender stereotypes. I also have to give the show props for showing one of the only trans characters I have ever seen in anime. I hope we can see more characters like her in the future.

The concept of Heaven's Design Team is very intriguing. It feels like something I would think about while spacing out in the shower (if I were religious). I really like that they also included how the anatomies would work in mythical animals. I never thought I would be so interested in why a unicorn could not exist. I imagine it would be difficult to explain the inner workings of made-up creatures. I have much respect for the author's vast wisdom. While the art style was unique, the animation itself was nothing to write home about. I really liked the bright colors that made the world feel all fluffy and upbeat. The character designs were somewhat simple, but the colors made them stand out more. You can really get a sense of their personality just from looking at their clothes.

Overall, This show is absolutely worth watching. Especially if you have any interest in animals or biology. But I think you can get enjoyment out of it either way.
