Monster Girl Doctor

Monster Musume no Oishasan is in constant conflict when trying to stage a generic story from several different genres, but which do not connect at any time. The anime tries to do comedy, action, drama, romance and other things without an ounce of harmony. The universe presented has a very wide variety of species, and the use of multiple colors has helped a lot to add a difference between them. The best moments of the anime are reached when the protagonist Glenn is exercising his role as a doctor in this fantasy world. The anime seems to care a lot about this, so much so thatthe illnesses presented by all the characters are credible to a certain extent, it is a pity that the purpose of this service ends up resulting in embarrassing moments staged in a fetish-oriented way.

When you think about it, Japan really does have their peculiar collection of anime genres and gimmicks in recent years. Isekai may be one of the most popular trend but there’s still room for monster girls. It’s Summer 2020 and Monster Girl Doctor steps up to the plate to show itself that it has room to be a fun, and perhaps even educational show, about monster girls. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, then you’ll realize that monster girls is still a trend in the anime medium despite not reaching peak popularity. One of the most well-known shows in thepast debuted in July 2015 known as “Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou”. Recently, we also had a show called “Peter Grill and the Philsopher’s Time” airing in the same season. Is Monster Girl Doctor any special in its own way? Look, I’ll be honest here. These type of shows are often advertised more as ‘want to see more? Buy the light novel!” Indeed, Monster Girl Doctor is based on the light novel of the same name. From start, we meet Glenn Litbeit, a man working in the town of Lindworm. Compared to everyone else, he’s an ordinary guy with skills involving medicine. And of course, his clients are mainly monster girls. He even has a trustworthy assistant, a lamia named Sephentite Nelkes who helps him with his daily work. In a world after a war from long ago, it’s quite pleasing to see two different species work together under the same wing. What’s also special about Glenn is about how calculating he is when working. Being that the clients he treat are monsters, it adds a level of complexity to his job. This ranges from treating simple injuries to complex surgeries. As you can imagine, it’s not easy stepping into the shoes of Glenn Litbeit. Thanks to his personality, Glenn is also a very convincing man, willing to do whatever it takes to treat his patients. This earns the affections from the female cast. As Glenn’s childhood friend, Sephentite serves as an important character by Glenn’s side. Whenever the two work together, it’s shown that they take their work seriously even though they may not always think alike. A part of the show adapts their character chemistry and how a human interacts with a monster. Glenn’s interaction with the others also remains important with cases such as Tisalia, Lulala, Arahnia, Skadi, Llly, among others. It’s shown through his selfless personality that he is willing to go to great lengths to help them. Some of these girls develop feelings for him such as the case of the mermaid, Lulala. Don’t get me wrong though, this show isn’t about romance. It’s more about a fictional storyteller of the way humans and monsters co-exist in the present world. With each episode, it shows that different monsters behave different ways since the post-war environment. Watching Glenn working convinced me that he is not only selfless but also seeks to improve the relationship between humans and monsters. Many of the girls that develops feelings for him sees him as someone to trust in, not just for his intellectual skills. From day one, you can see how much Glenn cares about his job and what he wants to do for his clients. Sephentite also knows this and perhaps a bit jealous whenever other female monsters get close to him. Beyond that, don’t expect much relationship development in the show. To my understanding, the anime itself isn’t really a faithful adaptation of the light novel and hence, this anime serves loosely as a story to focus on Glenn and his everyday life. Like I said before, if you want to see more, go read the light novel. For a show about monster girls, this anime has its windows of fan service. In fact, whenever you hear Glenn treats them, it sounds more like sexual arousal with their moans and reactions. To further amplify the effect, we see how monster anatomy works for different species during treatments. It’s a glorified way for the anime to show fan service without any sex. And if you’re a fan of that, then there’s going to plenty of entertaining that awaits you. Indeed, the monster girls are also designed with sexual allusions such as mermaid’s body, arachnoids’ legs, and even lamia’s long slimy tail. Archnia is one of the more evident examples for using her silk to capture prey. Get it, capture? Glenn himself isn’t even safe when she has a plan in mind. Overall though, the animation quality by studio Arvo Animation is consistent for making every monster girl look unique. This isn’t the first and surely won’t be the last monster girl theme show you’ll see this generation. Japan has a lot of nutty ideas for animation and Monster Girl Doctor is no exception. For a simple anime like this, it’s popcorn entertainment at best or an attempt at cash grab at worst. Somewhere in the middle, it’s watchable and I can even say it’s somewhat recommendable for anyone looking to watch some experimental fun.

"Oh great. Another monster girl show which relentless pounds you from behind with cliches, fan service and a bland lead.", is what you might think. However, i can happily say that all is not as it appears at first glance. Why did i watch this show? I usually trawl for anime compilation clips online in search of something that would catch my interest. After another one of my sessions of trawling and adding to my list of shows that look interesting but that i probably won't get around to watching because said list keeps expanding; i found this gem in the rough. What drew me inwas the clip where he falls in between a giant's boobs. It looked like another generic monster girl fan service show, but something about the main character's attitude was intriguing. I will start with characters, as a harem show with trash characters is a trash show. Don't @ me. First you have the main character, Glenn. He is a doctor that specializes in treating monsters (not just female ones either). He is supported by his fellow doctor Saphentite (a snakey girl). Together they go around healing the sick and performing miracles (examinations) of monsters across the land. Their relationship and its origins are explored well enough in one of the earlier episodes. It explains why Glenn decided to become a doctor for the monsters and also why the two share a strong bond. The centaur, Tisalia is a knightess type character with an "ojousama" laugh which i personally find endlessly amusing. She too like Saphentite, falls for the doctor after being enamored by his calm, gentle yet firm and driven nature. She is not however as arrogant as she appears, as she consistently displays a strong sense of duty and self sacrifice even to her own attendants. The other characters are not developed as much but are by no means bland. Story. Throughout the show, the doctor performs exams and subsequently treats various monsters. This is where the fan service is centered around. I personally love fan service as i am a fan and enjoy being serviced. Sue me. That being said, apart from the moans and blushing as per usual, it always occurs during the exams where doctors even in real life may have to examine parts of the body that may be sensitive or too shameful. As a person who has had their butt examined for hemorrhoids i can assure you that it is just as shameful. That being said, i did not moan but instead buried my head in the pillow. Despite this, Glenn always maintains a professional attitude. He is not like the usual protagonist who stumbles and stutters and looks away. That kind of doctor in real life would be a garbage doctor. When he has a job to do, he does it; always keeping his patients' concerns and well-being in mind. As the show progresses and he gets approached romantically, he maintains his stoic demeanor but not to the extent which you would assume he reproduces asexually. The way he handles patients in contrast to his mentor and his fellow doctor Saphentite, is what sets him apart. Whether it is their differing philosophies regarding the right to die, honoring the patient's wishes (as opposed to repeatedly trying to convince them of an alternative), or approaching treatment from a psychological aspect instead of purely medicinal, Glenn's methods are always refreshing to look at. The setting is as is described in the summary and is not explored as in depth or as fast as you would expect. Then again, this show is not about the larger society, but instead the tale of a traveling doctor in a post war land. Art and sound are good but nothing to write home about. I personally loved the character designs, be it their physiques or their clothes. All in all a refreshing take on the monster girl genre. I look forward to a second season. Story 7.5 Art 7.0 Sound 7.0 Character 8.0 Enjoyment 8.5 Overall 8/10 P.S: I don't understand why the reviews are so underwhelming. Don't be fazed by that though. Watch a couple of episodes and see for yourself if it suits your tastes. It definitely is worth at least that.

did you say monster girl? where!!! who doesn't like cute monster girl? i for one love monster girls why not it different and interesting it beyond the boundaries of imagination. once more you got a main character surround by cute girls and help them get better with all the power of medical science. Story: the story is much to go on where there no real main villain or much of a plot however it is a slice of life so why not going around helping cute monster girls. thou it may surprise you upon giving some lore about each girl unique biology. at leastit can give you a few chuckle and perhaps flip the switch if you know what i mean :P one thing to mention is that they do tackle a little bit on discrimination and racisms but not to the point that it in your face it more like it subtle about it and that you can easily notice it but i wouldn't\t read to much into it for as it a harem comedy show. Character: there a lot of characters in this show and each one had there moment in the sunshine which is great because you get to learn more about them and how the interact with each other. best part is that each character cater to different people of preferences if you like cyclops, centaur, lamia, dragons, giants you name it may be here but they are cute and warm you hearts each characters are lovable even that harpy girl for sure :) Arts: now it is generic art work nothing impressive or mazing however it is easy on the eyes it all i can really say about it. Sound: I'm not really a big fan of the music that they have use here but still has a good ring to it but i do feel they could of done better and give it a bit more vibes. Overall: i personally enjoy it in term of harem aspect thou true it not a great harem series but it does have some flair to it i mean it not like the MC is blind to it and know they are after him but he just shrugs it off and act like it no big deal which is great honestly most harem MC could take a page from the MC now i recommend this series to those who like cute monster girls and or like a nice comedy that get you senses going and by senses i mean your hormones going in a frenzy now i\m gonna pause here for a moment and remind you that yes it a harem and yes it somewhat ecchi but no nudity but more a tease if you will. now those who like a nice art work and and comedic style gives this a try if not then maybe a different slice of life would better serve your time. thank you reading and remember keep your monster girls happy and healthy :)
