EP. REVIEW: Monster Girl Doctor

From the novel it's explained that Glenn is more of a general physician while Saphee is a pharmacist so she makes the drugs they use. I agree though that pharmacists don't get as much credit as other doctors.

Just like the found egg, It's very unlikely the Harpy's egg was fertilized. I'm confused as to why the slavers were selling unfertilized eggs (food?)

Conversely, having someone who likes these sorts of shows would also be unfair since there would be a certain amount of bias as well, no? Regardless, I think you did a rather impartial review though.

I think a couple points were missed in the review.

Saphee was not explicitly in the house to assassinate the family, she was only instructed to do so in certain circumstances, which did not come to pass.

Just like the found egg, It's very unlikely the Harpy's egg was fertilized. I'm confused as to why the slavers were selling unfertilized eggs (food?) but I think such a fanservice story with light violence was unwilling to go the further despicable step of saying that not only were they being held captive but that they were also being... well, "forcefully fertilized."

And I have to admit, I really don't need that in my monster girl fetish show.

Fair, I skipped over that bit of nuance in the wording of the review, but I think the emotional heft of it was still there (Sapphentite has been carrying around the guilt of it for her entire life so I think she feels equally as guilty about it regardless of the details).
.

Technically, Glen should have a little guilt too. I guess Glen avoids those feelings because, 1) he was not expected to take any action himself (unlike Saphee) and 2) He's a typically dense lead that only has his generally benevolent motivations rather than feeling responsible for his family's actions.

So with Monster Musume is it much more of a constant element in the show? I've not seen/read any of it myself.

He says he knew about her mission and his families plan, and the opening minute of episode 4 spells out that his experience with saphee was his motivation for being a doctor specifically for monsters. Does the series still have to outright state that he felt guilty?

Well, I wasn't expecting to see Nana to Kaoru this week, but there it was.

Anyway, having only read through the mermaid arc, I've been enjoying the series so far and looking forward to the next ep =)

Kudos to you Mr. Jones, your writing around the description of the situation with the centaur attendants was brilliant! Makes me think you are a "horse person"...

The surgery itself was tense but not quite what it could have been. I assume by next episode it will all be wrapped up and done with

Unfortunately, it seems you missed a post-credit scene.

...But the “action” surrounding her theft and attempted escape felt awkward, though I can't quite put my finger on why....We get a spray of noxious fumes into the air and a beam of light, then fade to credits unsure of the operation's success...I assume by next episode it will all be wrapped up and done with...
