Series needs more character development. Overall, nice show. It was a nice show to watch, but it was nothing groundbreaking. If this show gets a second season, I could see this anime becoming a bigger anime than it is.

nothing groundbreaking are you serious? the idea behind it is in itself groundbreaking, and the way science is incorporated into the plot is brilliant. the only thing wrong with it is it's too short. I could see it running for 26 episodes easily with the manga backing it.

Holy crap! One of few series that ended and left me dying for more! Why is it not possibly to rate something 11? XD

The really should have made a second season of the anime rather than a live action drama version...

The way everyone matured at the end is a sign of no more seasons of this, but I hope I am so wrong.

Sawaki did in the beginning think "the girl (aka Yuuki)" was cute, and he obviously showed he was attracted. So season 2 he could be questioning his own sexuality. ;o which would be interesting.

Oh so that was just what Kei was into. . .I was beginning to miss all the little microbes; they are just so cute, and, apparently, very sexual at times. I liked th ending after the credits. I really encourages healthy living. "Remember that we are all around you. So, don't use antibacterial spray."

SO. DAMN. GOOD.

Major props to Hasegawa for putting Oikawa in her place and omg, my dear Kei. I love him so much for being so forward about his feelings. It was such a surprise, but so wonderful. And I seriously teared up when Tadayasu was able to see the microbes again.

I went out and bought the first volume of the manga after finishing this yesterday. I really hope Kodansha USA continues publishing this series, because I am dying to find out what happens after Volume 4, which is where the anime apparently ends.

Stopped caring for Oikawa altogether when she went on about Sawaki being wrong/filthy for kissing a guy. Anyone who says crap like that immediately goes on Takai's blacklist >.> Haruka-san on the other hand became even more awesome than she was for telling Oikawa off ^_^ S'right.

Too bad it's so short, lots of potential here. I'll give a 9/10 overall.

Thank god, there less Kei, he's such a drama queen, if he was inserted in the series, the viewers might of hated him, instead of adoring him like right now.

The ending was satisfying. The comedy is still there.

And damn, Hasegawa, your yuri kiss wants me to beg for MOAR!!!

Yuuki's reason behind his crossdressing is kinda strange but acceptable. He wants to know what it feels like to be one who he hated.

Overall, my thoughts from the first ep lasted till the end.

Interesting for being unique and original, hilarious for the lol-college life, and, educational for the microbiology-related information.

I wished there's more. 9/10 for brewing my time into a worthy-fun one.



Sure. :D

Pretty much my thoughts. I'm totally glad there is second season out now, as I'd been probably more disappointed had I watched this not knowing this. Seems like the second season has a crap load of potential going by this and where it was heading.

Well, I am definitely glad that I picked this series up because it was awesome. The antics of the characters, be they human or microbe, never failed to amuse me. I am also relieved that I do not have to wait years to see a sequel. In fact, if you will excuse me, I am off to watch the second season.

Obviously Itsuki is a chick magnet and has pulled all the hot girls for his lab...

I find all the characters appealing, even the two buffoons (who actually are looking out for their juniors to the best of their abilities). Maybe it's just because I left a rural farming community to go to university in the closest big city, but I can relate to a lot of what they are going through (maybe not so much with Kei's situation but it looks like he might simply be transgendered). I'm glad I decided to catch up on season one, before going beyond episode 1 of season two--now to return to the ongoing series.

Sawaki is such a lucky bastard getting that long boob hug from Haruka and a gothic kiss in episode 10. Heh, fun to be him sometimes.

Great overall ending, even if it's an open ending knowing there is a second one will make me even more interested to see what's next! The overall anime was really great, it had a very nice concept, atmosphere and pace all with some really great characters and just overall nice development! Let's see what the next season and the specials have to offer us!

All in all a great anime 9/10!

I guess I have to say I was a tad overhyped this one, and end up a tad disappointed. I'd say it needs more bacterium knowledge added to the plot and the humor tend to hit and miss for me. Oh well, I still enjoyed it, 9/10.

Nice finish to this show. It was quite fun to watch this series although, it got significantly less interesting as the series went on. It was more about microbes at the beginning and then turned into more a seinen college series.

Gotta say, this series was a nice change of pace from your typical anime. It treated some tropes in a really natural fashion compared to how they're usually handled.
Overall a very unique and enjoyable show, apart from a couple episodes towards the middle that felt our of place to me. Will probably check the manga later since it's already finished. Maybe the second season too, although I've only heard bad things about it so I'm not too sure.

Looks like everyone enjoyed Hasegawa sexually assaulting Oikawa. Guess it was supposed to be funny?

The professor said he wanted to let Sawaki have options, but all he did was show him options that had to do with microbes in an agricultural university with loads of other studies available.

Thought it started of pretty well, but starting with the festival it started taking a turn for the worse.

So Sawaki can see Microbes again, that's great. But I felt little attention was paid to them, here I thought I would be educated on Microbes and agriculture. I only got little of it and the rest was mediocre.

The only thing good on the series were the characters especially fatty and mustache. Other than that story was lame especially when they try to fuse comedy and education. I definitely won't be watching s2, because I see it's lamer than this one ( it will be a time waster). All of its EPs were mild or lukewarm, I've seen better anime such as Gin no Saji( which was well executed). Hell I even watch its season 2, but this never on my life.

I was gonna give it a 7, before writing this but now its a lenient 5/10.

I was actually more stunned when his ability returned than when he lost his ability.

That whole scene where they returned, I just sat there with my mouth agape.

The music for it was brilliant. That triumphant orchestral music!

I'm still confused. This series confuses me. And not with the microbes part. I can look up everything in Wikipedia and I learned about some interesting foods too.

But. I'm confused. And maybe it's a good thing.

I thought the series lost its way after it switched from talking about microbes to doing all sorts of other random stuff.

...But then it managed to create some interestingly thoughtful dialogue in the characters' interactions. From Kei, from Haruka, from Prof. Itsuki, and last but not least, from Kawahama and Misato, of course, whom I originally pegged as either comedic villains or unimportant characters but oh was I wrong.

Yet I also can't help but laugh delightfully at how silly this show can be.

I don't know how I feel about this. But in a good way.

A pretty solid, mostly laid back series with absurdities thrown in. I think the characters moved it along moreso than the concept. Enjoyed the setting, pacing and most of the character interaction. The fatass, mustache and Sawaki trio was the best part of the show. Oh, and Hasegawa was great too. The last two episodes were kind of shit, so if the second season is more of the same, it's probably going to be 11 episodes of misery.

I didn't expect to see a fairly serious episode full of people trying to discover their place in their world by trying out new things. I won't mind if Kei starts trying out new dresses out of curiosity, that's for sure. Despite being against guy to guy action, Oikawa ended up having the most action with her fellow female colleagues which is a lot more than any of the other guys ever would lmao

It was nice to see that the people who befriended him for his ability still appreciates him despite him losing his one notable aspect about himself. Hasegawa apologizing through the only way she can was adorable too.

It mostly diverted from its unique premise but I guess that's fair since it did feel like it was only the beginning. The second season will probably have more about the microbes but I'll take my time before starting the sequel.

I've really enjoyed this series! So dam hilarious! Also the serious parts were spot on too. I can try to explain in more detail what I think about this show but I ain't so good at explanations so I'll try and keep it down.... So bare with me lol.

Anywho I just completely loved everything about Moyashimon. 9/10
Only thing I didn't really like was that it felt way to fast. 11 episodes was to short but what can I do eh. Defiantly going to read the manga once I'm done the second season (which I am just starting now).

All the characters are amazing! Also the character development was good, the educational microbes and well literally this show is basically all about sake, how to make it, how to do whatever you do with sake lol, ain't no complaints here cause my roomates brew their own homemade mead. So I'll defiantly try and see if I can make sake now. The OP and ED I just love! Also the Microbe theatre I also just love.

Ya ya ya ya ya, I have been using the word "love" to often. lol

Tho the greatest thing I do love is Kei. OMG he looooks so cute in that gothic lolita dress! Omg ...... ooooo how much I would love to wear one of those as well! Just expensive these days :(
I feel like that Kei has feelings towards Sawaki and if this anime had more romance in it.....I would love to see them together :)

Tho that Hasegawa kissing Oikawa was so dam SPICY! All the girls in this are best girls but they can't beat Kei hehe.
Tho itis funny how Oikawa was against how Kei was dressing at first and seeing him kiss Sawaki........tho hello miss little lady but you should remember that you woke up next to Mutou when you both were naked, ya both defiantly banged lol.

Anyways I am off to finish the second season and hopefully it ends good....?
So yes long story short......Moyashimon is a really really amazing show! <3 So glad I came across it and decided to watch and wasn't disappointing at all.

I feel like the series didn't need a serious turn halfway through the show, Hasegawa was being very ruthless towards Sawaki, but it seems they have made up. It was an alright show. Hopefully, the second season focuses more on comedy rather than drama.

I honestly don't really like what Haruka said to Sawaki, because if Sawaki doesn't have his powers anymore then he will be an ordinary student like everyone else. He still has the right to attend the agricultural college and study normally like everyone else. There is no requirement to be able to see microbes or other special abilities to go there, right? Sawaki and anyone else can study agriculture and microbes if they really want to without having to have certain special abilities. Why is Haruka talking like that? That's harsh and hurts.

It seems that more people were satisfied and enjoyed the ending than not... I can actually see why but I didn't really like the ending. These 11 episodes felt like a waste or just an "introduction". The comedy was funny at some parts but then they didn't talk about microbes anymore and put a lot of other topics in here... like Haruka and her family problems, Kei with his femininity (gender dysphoria? please correct me if I'm wrong), Oikawa saying that two men kissing is disgusting, while she once woke up naked next to Mutou, Sawaki's grandfather's message to professor Itsuki about Sawaki's future, etc.

Of course I can look up about microbes on youtube and google but I like how Moyashimon talk and presenting microbes in fermented foods in a fun and funny way like in the early episodes, it's entertaining and educational at the same time. But the episodes after the school festival just left me confused and honestly a bit bored.
