I liked the interesting take on monster-girls, I liked Kimihito.

It's actually refreshing to see a protagonist that manages to build his harem by treating the girls like. Unlike many other harem protagonists, Kimihito is competent and now shown to be a complete idiot. The strength of a harem anime, though, lies with it's protagnist, Kimihito. Such as, Cerea was slightly aloof and nobel because that's how her entire race is. The thing that set the girls apart, though, was the monster backgrounds that gave them those properties. The characters were interesting, although they fell easily into harem-trope categories that I have seen before, like air-head and aloof-noble types. However, I felt the ending wasn't memorable, even though it showcases the MON-squad. I particualrly liked the opening song "Fall in Love", and it was one of the few times I didn't immediately skip to the bulk of the show.

An example would be Miia, who apparently flattens her tail when she moves, despite it being round any other time. And when you do, it's not as crisp as the rest of the animation. For one, you never actually see the girls move, or at least, from the waist down. Were humans going to live with the monsters? One thing that wasn't answered was the Exchange part of the International Exchange. The anime did do a fair job explaining each girl's feelings towards the human population as a whole, but doesn't show them growing or changing those attitudes (Kimihito being the exception). Still, the interactions in the anime give you a sense of each girl, how the world is reacting to the new monster population, and how Kimihito is coping with his new housemates. The anime kind of felt like a preview for the manga, since the episodes really only introduce the girls and don't go much beyond that. I would have liked to see more with the story, so I guess I'll have to see what the manga has in store. The girls are part of an International Exchange program to introduce the world of humans to the world of mythical monsters. The girls are introduced episodically, and the rest of the anime shows Kimihito and the girls' day-to-day lives. This story revolves around Kimihito and his household of monster-girls.
