Tanis, a child genius, is the youngest son of two mad scientists. His family has spent their lives withdrawn from normal society living on an isolated island, where the couple conducts experiments on Tanis' siblings that result in them gaining abnormal abilities. However, this activity is put to a stop when they are caught and arrested.
Tanis is brought by government officials to a more populated island, alongside his four siblings: Snow, a dog-human hybrid; Ashise, a plant-human hybrid; Aisley, a spider-human hybrid; and Suishi, a mind-reader. Being the only one who has not been genetically modified, Tanis takes on the responsibility of adapting his siblings to society, all while trying to conceal their' distinctive characteristics.

Story- 9 art- 8 characters - 10 enjoyment- 8 overall- 8 What can I say? I really got exited for this anime, at first I thought "great another funny slice of life anime". I was really wrong about it. The story is about a boy named Deniss and his 4 siblings who were turned into monsters by their parents. the show shows how they suffer and try to live a normal life as a "human". the backstories are great too, they show how the characters had to cope at aa young age with their "psyhopatic" parents. The ep are quiet short and they left me empty after watching them, thestory also doesn't have a "main point" I mean if you refer to (little spoiler) Deniss is trying to change his siblings back to normal then it has, but often times eps are about random stuff. Well it is still a slice of life
the anime is actually of chinese origin that's why many watched only to ep4, since that's the point were curently is translated in japanese. If you don't want to wait you better just watch the episodes in chinese since it ended airing.

Frankenstein Family is an extremely rare Chinese manga adaptation that focuses on family bonds and maintains that every episode. The short 20 minute episodes successfully trim out harems, convoluted love triangles, confusing plots, and fanservice. The plot itself is slice of life level mediocre, with the monster family's focus frequently shifting in different directions and the child genius main character Tanisu causing those deviations by always being 100% child and 0% genius. I still watched it every week on release day because it reliably showed them facing challenges. The art scrapes the barrel pretty low where instead of making full use of the fact thatthe characters are monsters living on a Chinese island, it feels like a barely interesting waterside town you can find anywhere. I suppose this is the most they could afford for a strictly promotional anime released simultaneously with the Japanese manga serialization. I'm personally very fond of woodwind, and they use it effectively in the show, however it does not work effectively in more dramatic scenes.
The main cast are innocent in the truest sense of the word as they are the results of scientist parents who viewed them only as test subjects but love them unconditionally. Which is ironic considering that they spend the entire show being suspicious of all the intensely generous people around them, creating a fulfilling sense of tension. You'll notice that the family hangs out together all the time despite them frequently getting into spats, and I think it defines their love much more vividly than other family focused anime. My favourite character is the plant-girl Ashise-neesan, and her character is summed up in what she's introduced as the siblings are fighting: "Ahh! The sunlight today tastes like strawberries!" The show is isn't changing anyone's lives with it being a cashgrab, but it presents a fresh approach to characters that I definitely want to see more of in the future. Is it worth your time? Sure.

The problem with so many normies swarming anime so much lately, is that great anime like these go unrecognized, lately more than in past years. Sucks, doesn't it? The story is touching and deep, the plot is great, which is not something I say often for non Japanese anime. However, the styling of the characters is well performed, the seiyuu work is great. (A little awkward at times, given that this isn't a Japanese anime.) Some smudges on the animation, and timing/tempo. However, putting those aside, and considering the fact that I literally had to take a break from anime because there just weren't goodshows that season or the one before) I have to say. I wanted to cry a bit during this anime.
So if you're looking for some cartooney, anime like naruto or something boringly popular like a dragon maid, then this is probably not your anime. This one is more of a FEELS and depth kind of anime
So yeah, maybe it's not a 10/10 kind of anime, but those six elements MAL asked me to review are definitely 10/10 to me.

I went into this not sure what to expect. The premise looked interesting so I figured it was worth a watch. This turned out to be one of my favorites of the 2018 spring lineup. It's a shame this flew under the radar. It being a Chinese produced anime that was never picked up by any English licensers/streaming services most certainly contributed to it's obscurity. This is yet another twist on the "monster girl" genre that seems to be ever growing in popularly. This time the main cast are siblings that all have some sort of experimental modification done to them. All but theyoungest sibling, Dennis, which is simply a genius. He is the one that tries to hold the whole family together after their scientist parents are sent to prison. It takes a very human approach of looking at the characters, and what it means to be so different in a society that doesn't accept their differences. I couldn't help but relate to some of these characters, as someone that doesn't always fit into society myself.
The animation is not spectacular, but the art style gives it some charm. I'm assuming this didn't have the big budget that most mainstream anime has. If this is the case, I think they did a pretty good job with the resources they had.
I have to mention the OP. It was one of my favorites of spring 2018. What's interesting about the opening is the singer is bilingual in Japanese and in Chinese. She made a version in Chinese and in Japanese for each dub. I thought that was pretty neat.
While not a 10/10, it's unique, and charming. I'm glad I took the time to watch it.

Concept: good Execution: absolutely terrible The first four episodes are full length and actually pretty good. They get you hooked into a story with what looks to be an overarching plot. Then it takes a complete 180, the episodes drop to 12 minutes or less after intro/recap and the other half of the 23 minutes are live action interviews with the voice actors talking about random stuff. I wouldn't have minded this as much if the story didn't feel like it suffered from it. The lead up to the climax of the series is based off of characters acting completely contrary to what we have seenthus far and SURPRISE //spoiler warning// they start acting like themselves and everything goes back to normal. Additionally, the loose ends this series leaves is simply startling. Not a single question they brought up during the whole series was answered. The end of the series feels like they cut off 3 minutes too soon, if not a whole episode too soon.
The art also slowly went downhill as the series progressed. The final episode was startlingly different animation than the first four. It feels like the budget was slashed halfway through making this anime and forced the animators to cut episode length by half for the second half of the season and then even that wasn't enough...
I really wanted to like this anime, but I have never been this disappointed in an anime's execution. To prove my point, this is the first score of 2 I have ever given and the first time I felt compelled to write a review.

Okay so if you're like me and watched this on Crunchyroll I can understand why you may not like this show. The beginning had a recap that lasted like 15 minutes, and at the end they would have like a whole segment with real live people that I couldn't figure out what or why? But that is a shame because I think this show is great. The premise is great, a nice mix of slice of life and sci fi. All the characters are fantastic, a wide range of personalities that have a nice dynamic with each other (Snow is my son who has myentire heart and the foster dad is in fact the man who stepped up which is why he is the best). It's a pretty short watch and it ends with loose ends, but I really enjoyed it. Hopefully you will too!

There are a number of reviews already here, but I thought I'd contribute anyway. Shiyan Pin Jiating (or Creature Family Days, or, even weirder, Frankenstein Family) is a slice of life anime that, thanks to limited budget and an inexperienced staff, comes out completely average. Now, most of the time, being disadvantaged like this usually results in a bad anime; however, the plot and characters of Creature Family Days is what saves the show (to an extent). Firstly, the story. The story follows a simple plotline - monster children attempt to live life on a nearby island and learn about human culture without being found out.It's not a highschool anime, and I've seen some people salty about that but really? We don't need more highschool stories, and I'm glad they let the characters explore the island as a whole, because it brings a sense meandering tranquility fit for a slice of life. The challenges faced by the characters often involves forming new relationships and questioning the decision to distance themselves from their origins. It's not a spectacular plot, mainly because the pacing is a bit wonky in some places, and it ends on a very uncertain tone. Saying anymore would be spoilers, but it does leave you with some questions.
Art and Sounds are both mediocre at best. The opening is probably above average for me, but in anime sound design is not notable, and the animation quality is well below industry standards at times, likely because its an original chinese animation with an inexperienced crew and low budget.
The characters themselves have serious potential. I didn't dislike any of the characters, but some of them, Snow in particular, didn't have very strong or deep personalities. There were nice touches of character development, particularly for Aisley and Ashie and their sister Suishi. The main character, Tannis (or Deniss, depending on your subtitles) was handled...somewhat poorly. On one hand, he's what 9? And therefore, definitely for the most part, acted like he should. He makes some rash decisions, and can be tunnel visioned at times, and DEFINITELY should NOT be responsible for a group of people up to nearly double his age, and the show demonstrates why. But on the other hand, he doesn't have much beyond those traits. He's a sympathetic character, but maybe not a good MC. He demonstrates above average reasoning for someone his age (especially when contrasted against someone his actual age), but he's never given a chance of out flashbacks to demonstrate his full potential.
Overall, I liked this anime. It took me forever to dig up all the japanese audio episodes, but I did anyway because I was enjoying it so much. Overall, Creature Family Days is a average slice of life that has/had potential because of its characters and fantastic premise, but mediocre execution, and a poorly paced plot. Watch it if you need some time to kill and want a no-action non-plot heavy show. Otherwise (and it kind of hurts to say it) probably just skip it.

Ok, this review is long overdue, but screw it. Shiyan Pin Jiating is a pretty enjoyable slice of life donghua. While I do find the art to be pretty good, the sound is good as well and the characters are very likeable, the major sticking point was the story in each of the episodes. Art: The art style is pretty good and it does give an impression that it's an animated version of a real life place being filmed in. The animation is also alright as well and given that it might be a small production donghua, unlike bigger productions like it's fellow donghuas 'King's Avatar' and'Mo Dao Zhu Shi' and the Japanese SOL counterparts like 'Wotaku' and 'Tada-kun', it's impressive.
Sound: The OP is great actually. The song is good to hear and actually describes the donghua as a whole. For sound effects, they're alright.
Character: They're the selling point. The four siblings (barring the genius kid) are all genetically modified by their parents and has to live the lives of being monsters in our world. The characters are very likeable and have fun and unique personalities, yet relate-able since their actions have consequences in a world that never accepts people in the outlier. You can tell it's a good Chinese donghua if the character's actions are given consequences extremely realistically (Sorry Japan, had to poke fun at you).
Story: Now this is the main point that kinda put the score lower. If I have to summarise, each subplots have introduction and conclusions and while they're good, the problem is that there seems to be a lack of body, if any. There's some subplots that has a good introduction only to straight up cut away to the conclusion, which is jarring and out of place. Being that each episode is only 15 minutes as opposed to the 30 minutes we expect from... most cartoons we watch around the world, this doesn't help and was one way that held this donghua back. I read the manhua a bit (they're all in Chinese so I could only guess what they're saying judging by their actions) and given the implication at the end of Episode 12, I think just cramming many subplots in those 15 minutes episodes kinda made everything rushed and honestly not that worth it overall.
Overall: This donghua is pretty enjoyable aside from rushed sub-stories that caught me off-guard. The characters are likeable, the art is excellent and the sound is good

Shiyan Pin Jiating (2018) A few versions exist, the actual show is 15 minutes an episode or so but some are full length if it has the voice actors having a sideshow too. The show has probably the worst cliff hanger ending I have ever seen in a show period. The story is essentially, neglect, abuse, trauma, a bit of PTSD and finding themselves with no resolution to anything. Also, the Sumire girl is definitely going to be leaning forwards with an NTR in her future, some deep dark stuff going on there. The story is very unfinished and rushed if it had been full lengthperhaps it could have been okay.
The art is pretty nice and a good standard although nothing special.
The OP and ED are both nice, generally, sounds are nice and the voice actors have a legend for if you have seen Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de and therefore know the character Hatoko Kushikawa her voice actress uses the same voice in the exact same tone for playing Ashise. Saori Hayami does an excellent job with that voice.
Characters are all generic despite their extra abilities with some very childish style acting going on. The characters are somewhat interesting and lead a fairly good show but so many holes and unanswered questions remain behind.
It is a fun enough show to watch but I don't expect it to come back. The show had greater promise had the length not been so short and if it had answered more and not had such dark things like the NTR screaming out for the future.
5/10. Watch it I guess.

To be honest, the premise is very charming and even cute in my opinion! In fact, it was obviously the whole reason I wanted to check it out because I thought it would be in fact, very cute. And it was! ... Until episode 8. But no spoilers, let's get to the review yes? Story - 5/10 Now if I was only rating the first half of the story? It would easily be a 8 or 9 out of 10. It essentially features the daily slice of lives of this dysfunctional family, how hard it is to adjust as being literal result of science projects and cutefamily bonding. I absolutely loved the premise and how they pull it off, it has some problems or clichés (like the obvious shoved in crush character for the main char, etc etc), but they're very easy to ignore for the pure fluff and sweetness of it.
It goes downhill around... Episode 8 or 9 and, that was the whole reason my score knocks down so badly. I won't spoil if you want to watch yourself, which I do still recommend, but the drama that happens is, in my honest opinion, pretty bad and could've been easily fixed and the execution was frustratingly poor.
Art - 5/10
It's nothing astounding, the artstyle is cute! But, that's all it is. It's pretty cute, there's not a whole lot to it.
Character - 7/10
I actually think each characters are charming! They have distinct key little personality traits to distinguish them from another. Like the hot-blooded, reckless sister, the optimistic kid main character brother, the airheaded happy sister, so on and so forth. It shows despite all their differences, they are all still family. It goes shit-show and out of character like by the end of the story though so, take that with a grain of salt.
Sound - 5/10
Pretty generic, gets the music across I guess but nothing memorable in my opinion.
Enjoyment - 6/10
Loved it at first. I still think it's worth giving a go! It's kind of a hidden little gem. Not perfect but you can definitely find some cute enjoyment out of it and it has it's own charms to it.
Overall - 6/10
Cute and charming, definitely not amazing, but still worth giving a shot!
