This looks fun. It doesn't have the biggest production budget but it doesn't need to. Familiar, Cliched but entertaining.

Shiranui: Become Human.

I am here for the monster girls.

I’m kinda getting a mix between Interview with Monster Girls and A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School! vibes from this one. I like how principal Karasuma’s disguise had him looking like Escanor when he really looks more like a fatter Mr. Monopol lol.

I think it’ll be interesting to sorta examine what it means to be human from the perspective of these non-human girls.

Could be a fun, interesting watch.

Wonder if we'll find out that society has a lot of demi-humans living amongst people already, after they've turned human maybe?
I'm betting as the show progresses and the girls become more "human", maybe they end up curing the teacher's sense of misanthropy?
I'll keep tuning in to see how it progresses.

Must've been one hell of a commute if Rei kept going back and forth between the mountains and the city. Thought there would also be an in-site accomodation for staff.

Are the rest of the staff demi-humans as well? They look fully human but then there would be no need to hire Rei.

It's a cute series and I'm getting the vibes it'll be mostly lighthearted with the occasional serious stuff sprinkled. I can see Rei learning about humans from an outsider's perspective while the girls see the darker side of humanity.

So he acknowledges that he would be sex offender and that he doesnt like little girls so nothing will happen between them right? RIGHT?

Not the Demi-chan sequel I wanted, but I'll take it.

Midway through the episode I kind of realized I was probably gonna drop this... but that moment near the end where the bird steals his tea while he is actively chocking just made me decide to drop this episode. The episode as a whole lacked a hint of subletly or restraint, and while the werewolf was interesting the rest of the girls were just annoying (except the science teacher, presumably a yuki oona). Now it's possible that the character just outright spelling everything out and revealing things that should be way more intimidate and inner-thought on a first meeting was intentional to have the show focus on just slice of life stuff, which is fine, but also kind of kills the point of interest for me. Not a fan of its sense of humor either, at least not with this cast, and I'm not confident in the writing's ability to take advantage of its characters when the first thing the NEET with a storied past that makes him reject beign a teacher and become a misanthrope does is apply to be a teacher convinced by like... mountains and a hot spring? He's not a misanthrope, he's mildly nihilistic. This is a show about a desilunioned guy with some kind of past incident becoming a teacher in a four-student classroom where the students happen to be animal and/or monster girls. Might be an interesting SOL premise if at least I liked the characters, but there's two characters I like and I only find one of them interesting.

The principal's test also just came across as nonsensical to me. An ilusion to be handsome as a test for who's suitable? Surely the point of the test would be for to turn away people who are too shallow or with ulterior motives, how is a handsome rich-looking guy supposed to be a deterrent for such people? I also assume they got some kidn of spy or assassin network to "deal with" anyone they invite here without some assurance that person will stick around rather than revealing this secret to the world (then again, maybe power of illusions makes it so nobody would believe them).

Random Thoughts

tolerable first episode..kind of boring really. I do appreciate that even if they show features cute demihumans, they have at least made some of the teachers also cute, so hopefully their will be no creepy student-teacher relationships. I am a sucker for this type of "demihumans in real world" scenario though.

School for becoming human...kind of seems like a downgrade lol. I wonder if they actually become human or if it's just more that they can live as human successfully.

I admit the mermaid and werewolf felt like the characters with the most justification for wanting to go human.

One of the girls is a Bull-headed Shrike? Are we sure her hobby isn't actually impaling small animals on spikes?

This poor dude is never not going to be in trouble with Usami.

Lots of wordplay for these names, Usami is a usagi (rabbit), Ohgami is an okami (wolf), maybe even Tobari being a tori (bird). I assume the mermaid girl too but I don't know the word for that one. Hell, MC being Rei might be a zero joke, it used the right kanji for it.

Science teacher being blue haired with a snowflake pin on her lapel makes me guess she's a Yuki Onna which I'm always a bit partial to.

There's some potential here for the students to help Rei connect with humans again while teaching them about human society, could be a nice story depending on how they play it.

Another blue-haired character to add to Amamiya Sora’s CV

i'm pretty sure monster girls *trying to become human* is against my religion but we'll see what happens

Bunny girl needs correction 💢💢💢

Apparently this was written by a Vtuber which explains the designs and why all the girls get an intro like they were opening a stream

So, the mermaid has trouble seeing seafood, but the birdgirl is ok with the rolled omelette?

A monster girl anime!!!

And the first episode is very promising. So Rei is going to learn to accept humans again through the efforts of these girls to become humans.

The cast is very cute. And this is not the first time that Sora Amamiya is voicing a monster girl, even though this role is a little more family friendly...

Usami is the distrustful enemy. I bet by the end of the show she will be his biggest ally. Then we have Haneda, the cheeky troublemaker, Oogami the shy introvert and Minazuki the romantic ladylike girl. I already like their characters and their dynamic.

Not the anime of the century, but it could be a good comedy... And I checked it out on Nautiljonet in the "drama - school life - supernatural" genre. Why drama?

Dang bunny girl is so... annoying. For a character who's goal seems to be repay a human, she is harsh with the only human teacher. Hopefully some reasoning is revealed later.

They also seem to have been taught random cultural tropes and other rather pointless things, like that dance at the start, and where to drink tea at. Not the open wide part though, that's normal.

Omg the mice girl are adorable.

Omg the purple girl. Idk what she is but also adorable.

I feel like a mermaid being afraid of seafood is like a human vegan but instead of just having a moral repulsion to food from animals they literally react like they're seeing gore. Food made by grinding up fish, can you imagine if a human saw ground up land animal meat? The horror!

Bro rejected Humanity and accepted the Monster Girl Supremacy

I would honestly prefer a sequel to Interview with Monster Girls, but this works too. It's been a while since the last monster girl anime.

I am curious about the MCs backstory [after he started trauma dumping on the girls.](https://i.imgur.com/WFqomfk.jpeg) Something bad must have happened at his previous teaching job for him to turn out like that.

Wait so is there a way/ are they trying to literally become human or like just to learn to blend into human society

I think I need to stop watching so many dark animes… I legit can’t stop thinking there’s a catch to this, a plot twist, an insidious side to becoming human etc.

What raises alarms is “BECOMING” human, do they transform? Lose a part of themselves? If we go by logic then something must occur if they are able to live in the human world with zero incidents, are they all dead? Do they disappear or reincarnate?

I'm intrigued by it. The first episode was basically an introduction to the main cast but I did enjoy the slight amount of humor we saw at the end of the episode.

*Tobari is voiced by Rui Tanabe.*
*She wants to make music.*
*Cheerful bird Mafuyu is that you?*

Well, an anime where they don´t sexualize demi-girls, that just for me is a win. And the plot seems interesting, this may be one of my top 3 animes of the season?

Why would a mermaid not like seafood? It's not like fish don't eat other fish.

Doesnt is sound like there is a weird filter or the voice lines were recorded with a bad mic? I cant be the only one

Is it just me or is the audio kinda weird?

I check out the first episode of every new seasonal anime, but as a teacher myself, this one felt so gross and skeevy that I couldn't even finish the episode.

This just makes me miss Demi-chan/Interviews with Monster Girls.

So I get why it was written as a girls-only school, as it is a light novel source and the appeal is monster girls. Still not having guys as well, like with "A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School!" kind of limits the potential somewhat. Sure, it still works with just girls, but I feel like it's harder to have a dynamic like you had with Abe & Sano in that show.

Though the idea of a guy who quit his job and hates humans teaching demi-humans who seek to be human. Rei potentially learning to love humans again through teaching could be nice if the story actually focuses on it. Or if it turns into some weird harem anime. Hard to say.

Dialogue between Rei and his students did seem awkward since it felt forced between student and teacher. Then again, they are trying to be humans, I guess. I can tell the dynamic between the girls will make it quite fun, at least.

If Hitoma didn't like teaching kids, its kind of strange that he'd teach demihumans since they seem so similar. The purple haired girl is kind of a brat but it's much easier to deal with 4 students than however many are in a regular school, assuming he doesn't teach more but that's just what we see in this episode.

It also seems strange that they don't teach boys there, like is there another demihuman school in Japan? That seems a very nice expensive facility and they don't seem to have many students and the whole school and presumably the town demihumans live is hidden from view without the magic ring. I'm guessing the girls can probably disguise themselves as humans in the same way te fat short principal made himself look more handsome.

I also didn't know that white meat with the pink ring on it was ground up fish. Unless i ate something different, it was way more rubbery than most fish.

I also wonder if Ms. Yuki was an adult or like a teen or child who teaches there, she really seemed the same as as the younger girls.

Wouldn't minsanthropes hate human-like beings like demihumans and most depictions of aliens and such too, instead of limiting themselves to just pure homo sapiens?

I liked how the sarsmugcastic one tried to murder MC by taking away his tea when he was choking. She was the only character I didn't find boring tho, so this'll be a drop.

Heey, you're not season 2 of Interviews with Monster Girls....

......well, it's most of the way there, might as well.

Tsundere dickhead gimmick in 2026. I'm out

I like Yuki-sensei already. The four students... not so much.

And so here's the first 4 girls.

So, that's how he got the job.

Ok...

And so a bit of an introduction to each of the girls.

I'd say none of those would be out of place being gimmicks for VTubers (mostly because all of those _are_), but that's probably my bias going in knowing this is written _by_ a VTuber.

Fair enough.

What are the girls going on about for the tea?

This is like rosario+vampire, but instead of a student, a teacher.

What a wierd rabbit, she doesn't say "Peko" at the end of her phrases.

Mermaid better choose to live somewhere other than Japan if she gets that freaked out by certain fish based foods

MC is in a only girl school that's not human just because? And The bunny girl is an asshole every 2 seconds for no reason? (probably tsundere syndrome Lol) Hmm... I know I'm probably gonna get downvoted but I'm probably gonna give this one a pass. I gave the ep a shot but I'd prefer if it was way more students and it was a Boy and Girl school instead of just girls. It would make things more fun, interesting, and hilarious with more unique characters interacting with the MC. (I'm sad because it feels like only non human girls exist just because.) Just feels like fan service only. (which of course, I don't mind fan service animes. Just not this one in particular. It usually depends.) Sorry fellas! I'mma sit this one out! Enjoy!!!


Edit: Also are there similar animes to this where it's actually multiple students in class but they're not human and they're both girl and boys? If you know any anime like that, I think I might give it a shot!

i still dont get how cat people wear glasses.

I hope this stays wholesome like Interviews with Monster Girls. Love the monster school setting.

This MC definitely hits too close to home for me though. I'm 28, failed the last semester for my teaching degree, and turned to work where I could work alone. I play games too much, and I'm thinking about going back to finish my degree.

I'm interested in learning more about our MC's history.

His tie clip is a PlayStation controller.

Don’t you find the concept disturbing? Half-humans striving to become fully human, as if their current existence were meaningless. They idolize another species while willfully ignoring the flaws of human society. Even though the anime invokes free will to justify their choice, I find the school’s principle—erasing any form of so-called ‘abominable’ human deviance through grades—deeply unsettling
