Anime 56690 Re Monster Reviews Filter Check 1

Beginning with an a gory start, this anime introduces a character type that still tickles my interest. Although they were mainly used to set the stage here, I appreciate their presence. (I've got a soft spot for yandere types.)
It really sets the tone for this anime's willingness to push boundaries right from the get-go. Kinda like how Tensura took its own spin on isekai life as a slime, with its iconic slime protagonist, Rimuru Tempest.

First thing that grabbed me was how it portrays its waifus. They're not just present for the main character's ego boost or to stir up some jealousy drama. The power ... dynamics, strength, and relationships all evolve over time, and it's understandable why the girls would fall for him... Stockholm Syndrome. Which is pretty refreshing to see.

As for the storyline; it's clear it's been well thought out. As at Episode 3, there's been none of that random event mess that leaves you scratching your head.
The animation is decent too in terms of consistency. Not mind-blowing, a bit average; Definitely a generous 6 or 7 out of 10 by today's anime standards.
And the humor? Oh, it's there, and it's clever sometimes. Fits right in with what the characters are going through.

Now, let's talk about the flaws because there are quite a few:
Some of the costume and weapon colors are just too bright. Recently, some shows have gone overboard with toning down colors, but here's the case where it's almost too vivid sometimes. Color and vibrancy work well to make hair and eyes stand out, and that was clearly well done here. But I'd rather have the costumes focus more on detail than a flashy choice of colors in this case, it steals from the character's individual design and can get a bit distracting.
The scaling can get a bit weird too, with characters either seeming too tall or shorter than they actually should be.
Also, sometimes the anime skips over actions to keep things moving. And it happens a lot. It's not a deal-breaker though, 'cause the story flows pretty smoothly overall. But it's noticeable given how often skips happen here.

Now here's a very important topic... our main character.
He's pretty likable, but doesn't stand out enough. He's calm, charismatic and quite aggressive when the situation calls for it. In my opinion he's well on his way to becoming a harem king for his rizz and boldness. I still can't forget this iconic line, "Dryad-san... itadakimasu."
If you know, you know.... Libidoooo!!!! Classic, man!

So, in conclusion, this anime reminded me why I used to love harem anime. An anime can pursue the harem dream without getting too cringe and distracting, if it has decent storytelling and relationship dynamics. A good lesson in storytelling, I'd say.
It's not on the level of Tensura, in my opinion. But without a doubt it's incredibly entertaining, and I say it's worth a shot if you love isekai. I'm giving it a rating of 7 for the experience so far, might change it depending on how the story unfolds from here on.

It´s a great isekai anime so far, but despite being a goblin evolving( with very human like features), Re:Monster doesn't bring anything knew to the market. Re: Monster has a decent animation, with a storyline where despite being the strongest, you use others to help you and them evolve. It gives you the perspective of a monster side very well, when interacting with other monsters and humans, for the good and the bad. The pacing is really fast some time, but always have a chronology line between the different days. There is an harem, but this time at least the interest of the main ... character and plot for them is of side characters, which may change in the future.

Awesome monster isekai refreshingly abandons so many annoying tropes!

In a genre that oversaturated with so many cheesy teenaged protagonists, it's so nice to see an adult main character who actually behaves LIKE AN ADULT! So no spoilers, but this MC responds to combat tactfully and then doesn't fall into the trap of "I have to be the only strong one." He first takes time to learn his world and situation, then seeks out to improve it.

And when it comes to female characters, he doesn't grossly objectify them and neither does he treat physical relations like they are the bogeyman. I think this just might ... be the first anime I've ever seen that suggests the existence of a healthy sexual response. He doesn't force desires on others, and on the other side of the coin when consent/interest is expressed he doesn't ridicule or shame the thought of it in return, like how every teenaged romcom does. And at the same time, this anime shows that sex between adults can exist without turning it into a hentai. Honestly, when the topic came up it hardly even felt lewd at all because instead it portrayed more like a sensible respectful fulfillment of everyone's feelings.

There are only three episodes of the show released so far, but I have rated this with top marks and will definitely be watching it to the very end. I think if more shows could move into this direction of a full adult cast and follow these trends then I think it would do wonders for anime as a whole.
