What’s Out Wednesday 4/18/17

By: JD Hardin

There’s a lot going on in the world right now; North Korean Tensions, Syria, NHL Playoffs, and everything else. I find my escape in comics. With genres ranging from horror and suspense to superheroes and alternate realities, there’s a title out there just for you.

Image has a series of April Fool’s variant covers that are hilarious, DC and Marvel are releasing a series of trades this week, and Eclipse comes back to put us on the edge of our seats.

Monster Musume Episode 6

Review by Chris
Series Summary: Three years ago, the world learned that harpies, centaurs, catgirls, and all manners of fabulous creatures are not merely fiction; they are flesh and blood – not to mention scale, feather, horn, fang and more.  Thanks to the “Cultural Exchange Between Species Act,” these once-mythical creatures have assimilated into society, or at least, they’re trying.

When a hapless human teenager named Kurusu Kimihito is inducted as a “volunteer” into the government exchange program, his world is turned upside down. A snake-like lamia named Miia comes to live with him, and it is Kurusu’s job to take care of her and make sure she integrates into his everyday life.

Episode 6: Everyday Life Shedding and Egg Laying

Well it just so happens that Kurusu would eventually run into normal things that a snake, harpy, centaur, slime, and a mermaid goes through; Miia needs to shed and Papi needs to lay an egg.

As Miia is trying to learn the whole wifey aspect of life, cooking and cleaning, she finds that she is horrible at it. It’s actually because she knows she is going to shed and is stressed about it. With terribly funny mishaps in the kitchen, Papi so calmly and ever so cutely states that she is going to lay an egg. So innocent and carefree, everyone helps out with this feat. All the while a “director” shows up and “needs” to video everything about the household and the girls PANTIES! This perv is a fake and is caught. And yet again Kurusu belts him a good Hellboy to the face. Turns out he’s working for another Monster Girl…

Quick review

My lord this one was extremely funny. No wonder this series has hit Crunchyroll’s top popular list. I go back on what I’ve said before and they slowed down just a little on the character reveals. So far I believe Monster Musume could put out a few successful seasons. Still with all the fan service glory and comedy I LOVE THIS SERIES. Again the direction, animation, and voice acting is superb. This episodes rating is definitely a 5 Joystix up!
You can watch them as they release with a Crunchyroll membership viewable on mobiles tablets and gaming systems.

Monster Musume Episode 5

Episode 5: Everyday Life with a Mermaid

As more shenanigans are happening in the Kurusu household, the “Cultural Exchange Students” suspect Smith-San about letting Suu the Slime staying there with them. But it’s not Smith-San they should worry about. As the government organization abruptly shows up to the house, the monster girls disappear. Trying to keep Suu under cover, they end up at the nearby park again, hiding from agents. Surprises happen when Suu “attacks” the other girls. Kurusu heads out to look for the girls, knowing they shouldn’t be out without their master. He hears a helpless normal looking girl in a wheelchair. Turns out she’s his new “catch”. Enter: Mero the Mermaid!

Quick review

WHOA! Hold on lol. This one gets raunchy as hell. The scene when the girls are hiding in the park gets unnessecarily sexual. BUT it is still funny. Not XXX in any way. Awesome addition to the girls lineup with a mermaid. Because of Kurusu keeping innocence the girls get rough with each other again. Very slapstick and I love it. This time I give this episode a 4.5 joystix up (4.5 stars). The main reason is I think they are introducing the characters way too fast also with no intimate background. I really hope we get some very good back story. Although it IS setup for great in depth back story. 🙂

Monster Musume Episode 3 and 4

Review by Chris
Series Summary: Three years ago, the world learned that harpies, centaurs, catgirls, and all manners of fabulous creatures are not merely fiction; they are flesh and blood – not to mention scale, feather, horn, fang and more.  Thanks to the “Cultural Exchange Between Species Act,” these once-mythical creatures have assimilated into society, or at least, they’re trying.

A snake-like lamia named Miia comes to live with him, and it is Kurusu’s job to take care of her and make sure she integrates into his everyday life.

Episode 3: Monster Musume – Everyday Life with Dangerous Circumstances

The Kurusu family’s homestay grows to three in the blink of an eye. Not yet accustomed to living with three monster girls, Kimihito’s life is a series of disasters. When Miia sees Kimihito helping others, her jealousy boils over. With each girl loving Kimihito in their own way, they eventually come to blows! Speaking of integrating into everyday life, Smith-san thinks it’s a great idea if he marries one of them…

Episode 4: Monster Musume – Everyday Life with a Slime

After all the calm-down, it’s time to relax and cook for the ever-growing family. With a pot of water on the stove, out comes a gelatinous head with eyes to scare the barf out of Kurusu. The family tries to kill it like it’s a rodent, along with more slapstick fun! Once they give up, the blob takes a female form in the bathroom with Cerea and Kurusu. The blob seems like a child as it tries to copy actions and words innocently. Looks like the “family” is going to grow by one more yet again. She gets named Suu 🙂

Quick review

I can’t say it enough, this series makes me laugh while blushing. The never-ending slapstick adventures never get old, along with the harem and ecchi aspect. There’s cute girls, nose-bleeds, great story, a (odd) family aspect, slapstick comedy and more.

I believe it’s a good fit and is going to be a great hit! Every episode so far I give 5 joystix up! (5 stars) My ratings are based on the writing, animation, and voice qualities. Dear god I’d love to see this one turned into a live-action film. Not to mention the coming cosplays, should be very interesting.
