Can't wait. Too bad it'll only be 12 episodes and will likely go with some original ending, there's enough material for 26.

I honestly wish they would make anime about fantastic creatures that wasn't just a base ecchi harem with self-insert average Japanese teenager surrounded by magical boobs whose raison d'etre is chasing after his dick.


The same author did with 12 Beast, it's just not as good. Also Darling isn't a teenager, he even has a spine!

The manga isn't hugely popular in Japan. It just seems to sell really well in America (relatively speaking) for some reason.

Here's a nsfw sample. It should be obvious. Twisted Evil
The source article http://otakomu.jp/archives/233613.html also a sample of the comedy aspect.



The character designs here for the anime is a bit different, Nice bodies & boobs and more detailed clothing here, but I prefer the faces of the manga. Still looking forward to it though

Was hoping Centaur no Nayami would have gotten anime before Monster Musume, but oh well i'm happy to see it the artist hard work has finally paid off.

No, it'a a harem series aimed at Furries. Furry fans get so little thrown their way, either in Japan or the US, that this is about the biggest thing that could happen short of George Lucas announcing he's going to make an Ewok orgy video.

Too much yes right now. In recent chapters feels like they're trying to wrap up the manga, hopefully they won't, but if they do and they have a decent budget, hopefully the company will say "f#ck it! let's animate the who sh#t!" A man can only dream:wink: , but anyways, YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!

There was this one other popular manga about a monster harem that didn't do so well as an anime…what was it again? Wink

But really, good luck. Hopefully Monster Musume gets a better adaptation for its fans.

Wrong, monster girls and furries are two different things. This girls are not anthropomorphic of animals, they are half human (mostly from the waist up), half animal. Also, calling a dryad, a zombie, a cyclops or an ogre "furries" is dumb.

@Crowlia I expected better of you, judging a book by its cover. I do not mean to say you have to like it, same as there are many people today that do not like Attack on Titan.

YESSSSSSS!!!! It finally happened. This gets the artist more publicity. I need some harem craziness for muh shelves. I read this series anytime I can get my hands on a volume. So I'm definitely down for the series.

I like the designs. They did a great job. Get ready for fanservice mayhem from monster girls. The animators are gonna have a field day. Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Perhaps you'd enjoy A Centaur's Life more? No harem, just cute (monster) girls doing cute things.
