Gotta admit I didnt expect Re:Monster to get an anime adaptation. I mean sure I did re:ad a few volumes of the manga adaptation of the original light novel series but not only did I find it to be just your runofthemill isekai with a re:cycled plot I also felt that the story structure wouldnt re:ally translate to anime that well. Given the isekai boom going on however I should have re:alized that it would eventually get an anime adaptation. I figured that I might as well give it a watch and now that its over I might as well write a re:view for it. Hopefully it will help re:aders decide whether or not its re:ally worth their time. Ah my vocabulary isnt expansive enough for this Lets just get to the review of Re:Monster. Re:Monster begins when a human named Tomokui Kanata meets an untimely death at the hands of a yandere. He is then reincarnated in another world as a goblin while retaining his memories from his past life. Most isekai anime of this caliber would give its hero an ability that would make him overwhelmingly powerful and for Tomokui now named Gobrou it is an ability he already had in his past life to inherit the abilities of whatever he eats. Using this ability causes Gobrou to rapidly become stronger eventually evolving into different creatures and even becoming the leader of his goblin tribe. Basically nothing isekai fans havent seen before. One thing that stands out about Re:Monster in particular is its diary format. Whenever a day or more would go by within the series there would be a title card that says Day insert number here with a short slightly dramatic jingle accompanying it there would also be narration of the days events provided by the main character. Its certainly a unique format as far as Ive seen but I dont think the narration part works very well I feel like Gobrous constant narration causes the show dont tell rule to be broken too much. I can see it kind of working in the light novel series that its based on and it even somewhat worked for the manga due to the lack of motion with the drawings however when youre watching an anime you kind of want to see the action more than you want to hear the narrator describe the action you know? Another problem with Re:Monsters story structure which doesnt necessarily have anything to do with its format is its pacing. Multiple days pass in every episode and within those days so many things happen at once that it gets hard to keep track of it. Its hard to keep track of all of the abilities that Gobrou gets throughout the series asis Speaking of Gobrou.I wouldnt say I hate or even dislike him but I dont care about him too much. Hes a pretty strong leader which I liked to see but his values can be a little dubious. Hell forbid the other goblins from forcibly impregnating the human women that his tribe captures but hell also bang pretty much any woman who shows interest in him. What? I dont really care too much for any of the other characters either albeit for different reasons some of their appearances change throughout the series but most of the characters dont get any development. They just exist to play off of Gobrou.or in some cases play with him if you know what I mean. The animation provided by Studio Deen is.serviceable. Sure there are a few moments where the characters go offmodel but the action scenes are fine for the most part. The voice acting was also serviceable no one in the voice cast gave a particularly outstanding performance but no one gave a bad performance either. As for the music.well the opening theme Into The Fire by CHANSUNG2PM and AK69 featuring CHANGMIN2AM is a song I have mixed feelings about the rap part of the song wasnt all that good but the singing part is catchier than one might think. Finally the ending theme Sadame by EverdreaM is a nice song even if not all that memorable. Overall Re:Monster is a bit on the lower side of average. I wouldnt personally re:commend it but massive isekai fans might get a kick out of it. As for me though maybe Id get more enjoyment out of That Time I Got Re:incarnated As A Slime which seems to have a similar concept. Wait no I wasnt supposed to put a colon there
