(CR) Monster Musume no Oisha-san (Monster Girl Doctor)

[Stark700]

Monster Musume no Oisha-san got an anime key visual recently. It seems this is getting an anime adaptation based on the novels.

Plot

In the town of Lindworm where monsters and humans coexist, Dr. Glenn runs an exemplary medical clinic for monster girls with his lamia assistant, Sapphee. Whether receiving a marriage proposal by a centaur injured in battle, palpating the injury of a mermaid, or suturing the delicate wounds of a flesh golem, Dr. Glenn performs his job with grace and confidence. But when an unsavory character seeks to steal a harpy egg, how will the unflappable Dr. Glenn respond…?

Well this is surprising.

Sounds interesting but I first thought its another monster girl with red lamia instead.

[Tenzen12]

Didn't expect this one. Personally I am very fond of this novel. Saphee being best anime lamia helps a lot too. Monster girl medicine is also pretty cool aspect.

Though summary is rather inaccurate as neither centaurs or mermaids medical issues are directly related to injuries.

So...fantasy Monster Musume with a medical bent ?

Author apparently said Monmusu was his greatest influence in writing the LNs.

Fun fact - the LN illustrations are by H-artist z-ton, who also does some monstergirl porn at times.

Plus manga version artist is Kanemaki Thomas, also another H-artist who specializes in monstergirl porn.

It could be a nice enough show. Can't say anything too bad about Monmusu being the creator's influence in writing the story. Was overall a pretty fun show.

Looks like something that our resident medical people will watch out for.

Yeah, this does look like an interesting take on the monster girl genre (like what if monster anatomy was applied to medical science instead of sex?) .

Did the snake girl make mention of "rivals?" I see where this is going .

[Tenzen12]

Character design is 200% improvement compared to novel, that's great. It may be not perfect story but certainly better then most and unique to boot. It has high chance to be my AOS.

Just shame PV didn't show Cthulhy.

I initially blew this off thinking it was a copy of the more well known Monster Musume series, but having actually read some of the manga I have been pleasantly surprised.

The monster girl designs are better, the setting works better and the plot is better (including that there seems to be one in the first place).

I recall hearing somewhere that Monstergirl Doctor's original author was inspired by the Monster Musume series to write these novels.

This show is licensed by Muse Asia for SEA (and selected other countries).
Additionally, they got the license to air the early Episode 1 release, to air in 79 minutes.

Regular release is on Sundays, 11:30 PM SG time.

This popped up on Crunchyroll this morning, so I watched it.

It wasn't awful...? Actually I quite liked it so will definitely give it a few more episodes. Though after the start of the first episode decided it prudent to turn the volume down a click or two.

Saphee is the best, obvs.

Spoiler for Episode 1:

I have actually watched some reshoeing procedures on horses (thanks Youtube recs!) and they showed something that may mislead viewers: although there are parts of the horse's hoof that are sensitive, that's not as far as the whole hoof itself. In fact, many sources say that grooming and shoeing a horse's hoof is comparable to a pedicure. There are parts that a good farrier (one who shoes horses) would avoid, like the living parts of a hoof, and as long as the nails are placed on the right places, there's nothing to worry. That said, the initial panic during the first shoeing is totally understandable.

Glenn is pretty professional, which I like, and the setting was kind enough to give various kinds of creatures their own place in society. They can even entertain others as gladiators since it's a bloodless professional prospect in this world. Although the animation quality is nothing to write home about, I'm a bit hopeful that this would at least make some research on anatomy. I'm willing to lower expectations though.

Side comment: I LOVE the X emblem used by Glenn and Sapphee to identify their profession. It looks like two pieces of bandages plastered on top of each other, which subtly implies what they do to their clients.

This episode worked pretty nice Animation wasn't cheap (well neither awesome), bgm was very nice too. It did novel justice.

Though I would prefer if they didn't go with "(as you know) we are childhood friend" speach. That was pretty clumsy and we would learn about it anyway later.

While this show has some very interesting monster girl science is very interesting (I don't think you will be disappointed in that regard), when it come sensitity it unfortunately chose to go in more fanservice direction., then is realistic...

Pretty cute show. It's good he's not a pervy doctor, that would make no sense.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Uh, how should I say this....episode 1 doesn't impress me at all. I think it's just okay if not a bit lackluster. So far, characters are mediocre, the MC is bland, the story doesn't have much meat to it, music is so-so and the animation is passable at best. I really hope future episodes will add much more oomph & quality than this.

Since the MC is a doctor, I'm not gonna compare this show to Monmusu. Instead, a better comparison would be with Demi-chan where the MC is also a professional who tries & works hard to understand the monster girls and help solve their problems. Compared to Demi, this first episode felt much more shallow since most (if not all) of the health check-ups done by the MC is a poor excuse for fanservice (grabbing tits & ear-checking resulted in girls moaning, and of course the hoove-trimming made the centaur-girl blushed, flustered & screamed, and don't forget the obligatory bondage & gagging by the snake lady). All of them are obviously meant to be otaku-pandering fanservice which made me disappointed since I see potential in the premise. In contrast, Demi-chan explored & executed its premise beautifully without relying so much on blatant fanservice.

Is this show going to be yet another harem ecchi? Is this bland first episode a good representation of the whole show in general? If the answers to both of them are "yes" then I might have to bail out from this.
