It's very easy to hate generic harem anime, because of the copy-paste nature the industry love, people get tired when they see the same thing pop up again and again.

However, I could not reason myself to use such criticism to rate anime, not anymore that is. If the idea works once, it should work multiple times, just a few changes here and there (so long as it isn't too ambitious), give it a title of its own and you're good to go.

Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory falls into this situation. It's easy to hate, but you gotta remember that people will love these anime endlessly, and in the perspective of such, sure, it isn't the best harem in the world, but it is still pretty good.

The story is episodic in which follows the lives of the protagonist, Koushi, in his newly found home after he found himself in the wrong anime (Fire Force). Most of the episodes are/contain what you are probably already expecting, y'know, your beach episodes, school festival, guy falls over and touches tits for the 17th time, all that junk. I suppose in itself it isn't the most creative thing on Earth, but the anime does a good job at allowing the viewer to be invested in the marriage of its own gimmicks added to it, like that crazy scientist, cosplay girl, kuudere outta this world, and that ninja girl. It made for some pretty funny moments I didn't think were going to come in honesty. One more thing I will go on about with the characters is how they also had some underlying story to their name, it doesn't see the light of day often, but when it does it is a nice touch to add onto for them. In some sense, it probably heightens enjoyment when you see your favourite character become more detailed, don't hope for too much though.

The audiovisuals are pretty dry, it's basically every box standard 2015-ish time anime. Literally nothing more to disclose on that superficial matter. However, I will point out how the animation sometimes benefits this anime, particularly of its kind. When it is slapstick as it is, things get surreal to the point of it making the anime funnier than it already is, what you may find "lazy animation" can actually be looked at as part of the comedic atmosphere this anime has for itself, though, I'd imagine this is true for a lot of other anime, not that I remember.

At the end of the day, I enjoyed this anime a lot more than I thought was plausible. I found myself laughing at the antics and tomfoolery way more than I should have. The anime also has some self-awareness to it which makes it funnier to view. I mean, it is just boobs at the end of the day, kinda makes sense that it will do anything to get there, especially how they are explicitly shown.
