Jingai Kyoushitsu no Ningengirai Kyoushi

I'm Rei Hitoma, a self-professed misanthrope thanks to some past trauma. Just when I thought my new teaching job in the mountains would provide a chill, rejuvenating environment, it turns out that this school is actually for demi-humans who want to become full-fledged human beings! There's a mermaid, a werewolf, a rabbit, and a bird...all of whom are now my charges. It's my duty to teach them about humankind—and maybe in the process, I'll learn a few things myself. This isn't an alternate world or a case of reincarnation. It's just the story of a teacher at a somewhat peculiar school, and his students who are striving to become human.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/13 eps)

Watching for the eye candy is the best way to enjoy this anime to its fullest. The more you pay attention to the story, the cornier it gets, and the more annoyed you feel, and there goes your enjoyment.

This anime has cute girls, pick your favorite, enjoy her appearance, and move on. Don’t even pay attention to the story because even the anime does not care that much about it.

First of all, you want me to believe Rei is a qualified teacher, teaching monster girls to be human at that? How? In what way? This guy is not even qualified to be human and this ... anime wants me to believe he can teach non humans to be human. The dude is literally a two year jobless NEET who hates humans. Not only that, he is also a spineless dumbo who literally gets treated like a punching bag by his students. He barely ever fights back, barely ever teaches anything valuable, and is mostly passive about everything. The sensei from Blue Archive is a better life coach and teacher than this guy and HE IS NOT EVEN AN ACTUAL TEACHER. No wonder every time there is a "teaching" scene it gets cut because even the author probably does not know how to describe what it is to be human.

Another thing I want to point out is Sui, the mean-o rab-bitch character. I don’t know if this trope has barely been used for the past year or if God just conveniently lets me deflect anime with this trope, but why does it still exist? Why does a character that talks shit out of their ass and being an asshole still exist in anime that sells waifus? I know some of yall love the bratty loli trope, me too, but in the end we love them bratty not bitchy, and Usami is 100% bitchy. Someone ought to correct her characterization and it is definitely not Rei.

We are already in the 2020s and characters like Rei and Sui still exist, why? Who is the target market?

What about the other girls? Decent, not new or original. You got the bubbly type, the gyaru type, the silent type, the double personality type, etc. You know the usual set, pick your favorite.

What about the story? Like I said, corny. This anime would be better if it was full blown rom com or just comedy, but the author feels the need to inject unnecessary drama to make the story bigger than it is, an attempt that absolutely fail.

While I said it would be better as a comedy, it is not funny. Not a single time while watching did I laugh, not even a smile, and that says a lot because my funny bone is very easy to tickle. Sometimes I even wonder, am I supposed to laugh?

Animation is very decent. The point of interest is the waifus and the production team knows it so they made an effort to make the heroines as cute as possible despite the obvious meh budget.

Overall, like I said, watch for the eye candy. You come, you see, you pick the one you like, enjoy her appearance, you smile, and you move on.

Preliminary (4/13 eps)

I need to start off with saying that this is really only below average, it can be harmless fun if you can look past some of the eh/meh parts. Basically fine to watch if you got nothing else that's easy. As an artist myself I think the character design is pretty cute and finely done and the art style and animation is a little above average of anime like this. Simply put not as basic seasonal isekai cell shading as it could be (you probably know what I'm talking about). I also won't be saying the character's names for those who haven't seen the series ... and also cause I am bad at remembering names.

Dialogue Writing/Intended Humor:
To be honest I really only have one solid gripe with this series, and that lies in the pretty constant comments from the main four students about the teacher being into them. He keeps brushing it off and saying he doesn't (which I'm hoping reigns true) but its just super weird tbh. I'm no stranger to stuff like this in anime I mean I'm a fan of Onimai (doesn't mean I like the weird stuff btw), but 1) this anime isn't good enough in other aspects to push past it and 2) the whole series would be so much more enjoyable and would go from like a mid 4 to a high 5 out of 10 if it just removed that one aspect. Every time it happens and they are like "I didn't know your type was little girls? What do you think of me teacher." its just like dude stop it what are you even doing? I'd even give a pass to the sets of still shots every episode where they go through every girls outfit and pose for the activity they are doing where they clearly are meant to be a mix of cute but also minor fan service sex appeal for whoever's into that.

Character Writing:
So far we have only really interacted with the main four girls and aside from the rabbit one which I will get to later the rest of them are ok written. I think its rather bland and even when they get into their backstories their personality still feels very surface level. Honestly I wish they would have pushed the archetypes a little more two of them. Like make the bird more tomboyish in attitude as I believe she's meant to be, maybe the mermaid girl a bit more bubbly. The wherewolf girl is actually alright in how much they push her trope but the bunny one dear god. I get the bunny girls a tsundere but she's one of the annoying ones. The type who if you're like "hey how are you today?" she responds with something like "why do you wanna know pervert" and that isn't even much of an over exaggeration. She isn't even blushy and mean like a typical tsundere she's just kind of flat out a super defensive dick for practically no reason. Usually a tsundere type acts that way because they are trying to hide their feelings, a bit of that comes through in their actions when they get visibly embarrassed and then act out because of it. Yet with the bunny one she has none of that as far as I'm aware, and if that changes that would be pretty weird cause she's like at oldest a highschooler and it would be towards her adult teacher.

OP/ED
I'm not gonna lie I actually really like the OP and ED, they arn't fantastic or anything super special like Oshi no Ko's but the OP is catchy and the ED has some pretty cute stretchy animation that looks all silly and reminds me of Onimai's animation/art style at a couple parts (I wonder if maybe some of the animators for Onimai worked on the ED?).

I can't recommend this anime even though I'm still watching it cause frankly it just isn't worth it. If you want to go ahead, I really enjoy monster girls and am curious to learn about the side characters more which is pretty much the only reason I'm sticking around so if you fall into that boat be my guest. Also I want to have a good distribution of seasonals for every week day so there's that too. In all fairness any anime fan taking a glance at the MAL page for this anime can assume that its going to be pretty bland and cliche, but still I had my hopes out it would have been a little more than that.

Side note: I am rather ashamed that of all of the anime I could have made my first MAL review on, it was this. In all fairness this series was bugging me quite a bit, somehow, and I needed to share these thoughts.

i've already read the source before.

well..well..well.. Asread.

- the animation? standard & lazy, but... well... sometimes ok.
- the art/visual? good & it's not hurting my eyes like most of new anime today.
- the design? cute.
- the voice acting? nice job.
- the comedy? sometimes cringe, & i've never laugh at all with this.
- the plot? corny, i don't even want to write it.
... - the op? what type song is this? they mixed what!? but the animation is good.
- the ed? kinda reminded me to Toradora, so ok.

if you don't mind with one of isekai/fantasy reputation destroyer like this, then i'm sorry.
Playing Uma Musume, Touhou, or Hearts of Iron 4 for 10 hours non-stop is more worth it bro.
But ts is more enjoyable at least, than read the manga/LN, if you ask me.
