Interview with Monster Girls

by - April 15, 2017

Despite the high ratings on Anime Planet (over 4 stars out of 5), I wasn't expecting much from this. If anything my expectation was to find it a bit obnoxious, but not so bad that I would drop it. I was wrong. So wrong. This anime was light, funny and warming. Across the 12 episodes we get to know 3 high school girls who are demi-humans. Demi-humans are relatively rare, and while there is some government support for their unique needs their differences affect the way they interact with the world. One of the teachers at the school has a particular interest in demi-humans and finding out he has 3 first year demi students (and even the new teacher is a demi!), he begins to form a rapport with them in order to interview them. This is a lovely way of world building and allows the anime to explore the unique traits and struggles of demi-humans. All the characters had nice depth and were really likeable. The pacing was smooth and the conclusion of the season felt natural. 

For the most part, this anime stays away from ecchi elements that often occur within high school settings, so I would consider it pretty safe viewing for all.
