Re:Monster

It´s a great isekai anime so far, but despite being a goblin evolving( with very human like features), Re:Monster doesn't bring anything knew to the market. Re: Monster has a decent animation, with a storyline where despite being the strongest, you use others to help you and them evolve. It gives you the perspective of a monster side very well, when interacting with other monsters and humans, for the good and the bad. The pacing is really fast some time, but always have a chronology line between the different days. There is an harem, but this time at least the interest of the main ... character and plot for them is of side characters, which may change in the future.

As of writing this review, only 5 episodes of 'Re:Monster' (2024) have been released.

So far this is just your standard Isekai power fantasy, with the main character having a similar power absorption ability as seen in 'So I'm a Spider, So What?' (2021) and 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' (2018). It's most similar in quality to the former, the one about the spider, as it doesn't subvert expectations in any major ways and no intriguing plot emerged, as we saw with Reincarnated as a Slime.
For myself, I find the levelling up progression enjoyable and easy to watch due to its fast pace, ... placing Re:Monster a cut above the truly terrible power fantasy isekai.

Really, the entire show can be summed up as mediocre, from the characters to the fights to the music and animation.
I marked this as 'Mixed Feelings' since your enjoyment will really depend on how much you like Iseakai as a genre.
My recommendation is to watch one episode if you enjoyed other Isekais, as you'll know from that whether you like this one or not.
And if you haven't seen other Isekais go watch 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' (2018) before this one as it's far better in every way.

5/10

If you dislike Isekai, your opinion won't change watching this. If you're like me and generally don't mind Isekai, you still won't enjoy this dreg.

All the Isekai Tropes like OP MC. growing ever stronger, ever growing Harem etc. but it lacks what makes I'm a Spider so what?, Reincarnated as a slime etc. enjoyable. every Episode so far felt like just ticking of points on a checklist. For example: everything is dealt with in seconds without any buildup and characters, if you can even call them that, in general are hollow and lack any charm. Art isn't anything worth writing home about either. MC ... gains powers in such an inflated Rate that you don't even learn about most of them.

I always try to give every Anime a start the benefit of doubt, but this one just got worse with every Episode. Save your Time and watch literally anything else.
