Ah, Re: Monster—a tale that teeters on the precipice of intrigue, tantalizing viewers with the promise of a unique twist on the tired trope of reincarnation.

Picture this: a human soul, reborn amidst the chaos of a fantastical world, not as a noble knight or a valiant hero, but as a lowly goblin. A refreshing departure from the norm, wouldn't you say? But alas, dear viewer, our protagonist's journey takes an unexpected turn as he discovers that consuming just about anything grants him unimaginable powers. Talk about a fortuitous turn of events!

And so, armed with his newfound abilities, our goblin-turned-overlord embarks on a conquest of epic ... proportions, amassing a loyal goblin army and a harem to sleep with faster than you can say "OP protagonist."

Now, for those seeking a testosterone-fueled power trip, this anime may hold some appeal. After all, who wouldn't relish the opportunity to vanquish foes and win maidens' hearts with nary a care in the world? But for those with a discerning palate, the taste of disappointment may linger like a bitter aftertaste.

But fear not, intrepid viewers, for amidst the rubble of shattered expectations lies a glimmer of hope. Whispers in the wind speak of a narrative crescendo, promising untold revelations and climactic showdowns that may yet redeem the series in the eyes of its audience.

So, to watch or not to watch? That, my friends, is the question. While Re: Monster may stumble in its execution, it offers a tantalizing glimpse into a world brimming with potential—a world where the line between hero and villain blurs and where the greatest battles are fought not with swords but with the power of choice.

As for me, I shall remain ever vigilant, for in anime, the journey is often as captivating as the destination.
4/10

Well, let's just say it turned really stupid really fast.
It had a lot of potential even with the severely overpowered mc, but they really had to make it into a mindless power-showoff harem bullshit.

Isekai as a genre is already limited cause of the numbers I think, so it's hard for an anime like that to stand out. I wasn't hoping for anything like that in this case, I just expected a little more since I found the goblin theme interesting.
The ability of the main guy could have been such an interesting touch if taken the dark way... But they just made it to be ... op and boring and it makes me wanna cry tbh. So many missed opportunities.

4th ep was a complete disaster. Zero plot, but 20 minutes of fanservice n unnecessary boring fights. I don't know who the target audience is for these at this point. If someone wants to jack off they watch actual hentai where ACTUALLY happens something. But this is just girls whimpering drawn badly and only good for raising my blood pressure. ZERO dynamics between the characters, they literally just exist and communicate like total npcs. Yknow what, there aren't any characters at all. Literal soulless puppets. A stick has wider emotional range than the mc and the entire side cast together. Catastrophic.
Also it was so weird to me how this show treats women... It just doesn't feel right. Looks like all of the kidnapped girls have Stockholm-syndrome and are meat-riding for the "cool n mysterious" mc. (And also who are the exact carbon copies of eachother personality wise...) ((Sorry there's that girl with the glasses who has a slightly colder character cuz she has gLaSsEs))
Oh god this is so ridiculous I gotta lay down. I think I'm having an aneurysm...

This had a promising start and went downhill so fast. If you're a woman- skip this show.

First off- they didn't label this a harem anywhere, it absolutely is, and as almost every harem anime ever- the women are treated horrendously as characters. The first 2 episodes are fun, we see the MC slowly getting more powerful, using his brain and muscle to solve problems, gaining friends, and pretty average world building for a generic western fantasy isekai. The most entertaining part of this show is the concept of being reborn as a "lesser" species such as the goblin, and the MC slowly upgrading the goblin's ... lifestyles with his human brain.

Then episode 3 hits, ugh. It goes downhill super fast. Everyone's got a crush on him- stolkholm syndrome included in a few of the women, for no reason other than "he's nice and strong". Again, not labeled a harem, but around 50-75% of the episode from episode 3 onwards are solely based on his harem building and the girls crushing on him for no reason. Not to mention gross comments from the MC like him purposely letting women live vs men because he doesnt want "beauties to die" 💀💀💀 which is totally against the cool and smart + collected personality he was shown in episode 1 and 2. MC starts becoming stupid because he wants his noodle to get wet- the first 2 episodes he actually treated women with respect and that got thrown out the window.

If you're a woman, hard pass this. The first two episodes will trick you that this is a somewhat good series. Don't go past that. It starts becoming a gross harem anime just like every other gross harem anime without the tag being anywhere. Shame. The concept was cool until they ruined it.

There are goblins, hobgoblins, ogres, pig monsters, carbuncles, etc but the true monster is none of these things. The true monster is Studio Deen for animating yet another mindless and bad isekai.

Tomokui Kanata gets shifted off to another world after being murdered by a girl. Who is that girl? Why did she murder him? Who knows? After 4 episodes, it never explains anything. There lies a common problem; the lack of explanation. Why does he, now a goblin named Goburou, have the ability to gain skills by eating when nobody else seems to have that ability? Who knows. We can guess that it was ... a skill given to him automatically when he was reborn, but by whom or why? Well.......I guess we are just supposed to accept it because it's a cliche by this point.

This skill does get rather silly when it shows him acquiring a new abilities by eating clothes. Yes, you heard that right.

The animation is stereotypically lack-luster, especially for any "action" that occurs. You know the type; generic, slow-moving, low-budget.

After 4 episodes, I still don't have any "attachment" to any of the characters, including the MC. That's not to say that they are "bad", but that they are "paper-thin". There's no reason to care for any of them, and the show doesn't even try to give you a reason to care.


I could forgive all of these things, and I have for a couple other isekai anime, IF it was at least entertaining. However, by the 4th episode my interest was waning due to all the faults listed above and the lack of entertainment and lack of an interesting plot. I have zero expectations of any character development. I really don't understand who the target audience is, because it's neither comedic, romance, or even an action anime. It just feels like a bunch of lazy ideas that were drawn out of a hat without an effort of "digging deep" and making something unique in any regard.

There are 8 more episodes left to be aired, but 4 episodes is enough to set the tone....and for once I'm glad to be tone-deaf.

There’s BAD and then there’s REALLY BAD.

“The Harem tag is missing.”

The first episode looked promising, the rest was a waste of time, honestly. An isekai with the MC NOT starting out as a human but as a goblin. Sounds catchy right?

Unfortunately, the anime fails to fully portray this concept in a good light. He gains new powers we won’t remember every time we blink and the episode runs through so fast with 4 different things happening that look pointless… and then it ends? Like why did that even happen?

All it has going for it is cringe plot armor. Would not recommend.

Hot garbage. An interesting concept with promisingly diverse character designs, totally wasted after episode 3 begins and protag becomes another clueless, boring, “faultless” dude whom everyone is in love with because he has a personality and none of the other characters do. His initially collected and pseudo-intelligent demeanour goes out of the window to join the ranks of all the other forgettable, bland-but-OP protagonists of this genre. All the female characters are just archetypes with no faults, no one gets any character development, nothing matters and protag gets everything anyone could ever want or need. If this show goes anywhere I will never find out ... because they sold their somewhat intriguing premise down the river too early for me to care. Skip it.

If you dislike Isekai, your opinion won't change watching this. If you're like me and generally don't mind Isekai, you still won't enjoy this dreg.

All the Isekai Tropes like OP MC. growing ever stronger, ever growing Harem etc. but it lacks what makes I'm a Spider so what?, Reincarnated as a slime etc. enjoyable. every Episode so far felt like just ticking of points on a checklist. For example: everything is dealt with in seconds without any buildup and characters, if you can even call them that, in general are hollow and lack any charm. Art isn't anything worth writing home about either. MC ... gains powers in such an inflated Rate that you don't even learn about most of them.

I always try to give every Anime a start the benefit of doubt, but this one just got worse with every Episode. Save your Time and watch literally anything else.

I had high hopes for Re:Monster based on the intriguing premise and promising concept, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a colossal disappointment. It starts off with a interesting story of being reincarnated as a goblin then quickly devolves into a bad power fantasy harem (DESPITE NOT BEING TAGGED AS HAREM!!!) by episode 3. But perhaps its most egregious flaw is its blatant disregard for world-building and internal consistency. The fantasy world in which the story is set feels like a half-baked afterthought. With poorly explained MC origin story that only brings up his death in the first episode but never gets into why ... and who killed him. The side characters were given good introductions only to be pushed into the background and replaced with MC's lust and cheap fanservice.


In conclusion, Re:Monster is a prime example of wasted potential. Save yourself the disappointment and steer clear of this forgettable anime.

3/10

No hard work, no traning literary not even month past he is alredy op. There is no comparasent with a slime. Main teme is harem which is after first 3 episodes boring as shit. Anime striped the most esential part bilding main charcter. Abiliti of eating flesh and gaining there abilities are best showed in arifurieta. Sad animation is on the top director i belive was doing everything to make this show likeable but in the end its domed form the start. Sad? No, but simpatetic that is the word. If people are looking dopamine anime try feit series. Goblin slayer is good contrast to ... this anime. Man, such awesome concept but story is dumped in trash.
I gave 5/10 oni because of animation and concept. Everything about worldbilding and a story is trash.
