After finishing Interviews With Monster Girls, there are a couple points I just felt like addressing(no spoilers)
I want to start by saying this is one of the best shows that I watched from this season and it really made me want to watch it more and more with every episode. The problem with some 12 episode anime is that you get introduced to characters and don’t really connect, but you could definitely feel a personal, slice of life vibe from this show. Another thing I really liked about this show was that it showed real struggles of trying to deal with discrimination, while being discreet and working it into a story with a functional basis, despite being about an unrealistic topic. Takahashi-sensei really does exemplify someone trying to understand and bridge people who aren’t the same for whatever reason in a perfect way and it made me really appreciate his character.
Despite these things, there were some issues I had with the show that though not too big, are worth being noted. The first issue I had, was with a character named Kurtz. Kurtz immediately seemed like a character that would fit in the show perfectly, and he did, but he got a ridiculously small amount of show time. I hope this isn’t considered a spoiler, but he really only got one episode. To be fair, 12 episodes was not enough time for this show, in all it’s complexities and I haven’t read the manga. Maybe he comes in later or his absence is explained somehow, but I just wished to have seen him more. My next issue is the last episode. I won’t really explain what happened in any detail, but the 11th episode would’ve fit much better than the 12th. The 12th episode lacked punch while the 11th really felt conclusive and rich in emotion. The 12th episode would’ve fit much better as an ova or filler episode and that’s simply my personal opinion. My last issue is definitely unfair, but I feel the need to say it anyways. There need to be more episodes. This show really did delve into some interesting concepts and I’m just left wanting more. Like I said, it’s unfair to want more when all shows have budgets to follow, but life’s not fair. I’ll be desperately waiting for season 2, whenever and however that comes.
If you haven’t watched this show, but enjoy light, enjoyable shows with plenty of laughs, while also filled with real emotion, give it a go. It might surprise you.
