After years of conflict, humans and monsters have settled their differences and are now at peace. This post-war era led to the foundation of Lindworm—a town which has since become the focal point of racial harmony.
As a human doctor specializing in monster biology, Glenn Litbeit runs a small clinic alongside his partner, Saphentite Neikes, who is a half-snake monster known as a lamia. He uses his knowledge to tend to any monsters who seek his aid. Whatever affliction, concern, or injury it may be, he will always be there, ready to help.

Your immediate impression may be that this is a shameless rip off of Monster Musume (2017). I wouldn’t blame you for thinking so - there’s a blonde busty centaur, bombshell Lamia, femme fatale spider girl, adorable cyclops and a lucky/unlucky teenage boy at the center of their attention. But there are several differences that set Monster Doctor apart from predecessors and make it stand on its own as an entry to the monster girl genre. For one, Monster Doctor is explicitly about...you guessed it...a traveling doctor who specializes in monster health conditions. The episodes are dedicated to a medical case concerning a unique speciesthat he cures through inventive means. There is almost always a specific goal that an episode will work towards, in contrast to OG Monster Musume that spiraled into random directions because the predominant focus was fanservice.
Another difference, and probably the most significant, is that Monster Doctor is bereft of nudity and does not compare to the degeneracy levels of its ancestor. You are more inclined to be invested in the health dilemmas of the monster girls - such as a centaur who is struggling to compete in arena exhibitions b/c of a hoof injury or a land mermaid who has respiratory issues related to her lack of water intake, than you are their “assets”. In examining his patients, Dr. Glenn does do so thoroughly (this is where the fanservice comes in), but these scenes are very brief in comparison to the rest of the episodes content and aren't so out of line for what a doctor would have to do in order to diagnose his patient.
I enjoy slice of life/romance narratives with a lead who is a professional in an industry. Dr. Glenn is a teenage prodigy who goes out of his way to diagnose and cure the ailments of monster girls who are otherwise neglected by their environment. His intentions are genuine and his knowledge is undeniable. You know precisely why the girls fall in love with him - less obvious in other romance anime where the reason is just “you’re such a nice guy”. Dr. Glenn is nice. And rich. And brilliant. His wife would be hitting the jackpot and all of his admirers know that. To me at least, he's the best part of this show and what makes everything work. Even if his personality is rather dry.
Monster Doctor isn't the best "waifu ensemble" harem. Which is to say, a harem that features a lineup of diverse best girls whom the audience will gravitate towards for any number of lewd reasons. The girls in this show are cute, but they aren't made the object of fanservice enough to be rule 34'd into oblivion and used as fetish fuel. You more so enjoy the girls in this show because they are extremely likable people and there's some catharsis in seeing likable people have their lives improved for the better when a nagging injury, illness is cured. I, for one, love the mermaid character Lulala and was so happy to see her specific crisis be resolved. The smile on her face was priceless.
Of course, this isn’t a perfect anime by any means and there are issues of varying degrees of importance. The animation is not particularly good, very little movement in general. Tons of static/panning shots that admire the character designs and environments. There isn’t much character depth beyond what you see in the introduction - they are more so types than individuals, though very endearing types they are. If any of these were improved upon it would take Monster Doctor from solid to very good-great. But as is the charm of this show getting to know so many different cute monster girl species and their predicaments. Following a MC who is NOT a buffoon that genuinely cares for their well being and gradually earns their trust.
It doesn’t surprise me that MAL has received this anime so poorly - there is fanservice (a no no for large sections of holier than thou MAL community), the concept appears merely regurgitated in a lesser form, and for the super lewd degenerate crowd it doesn’t push the envelope for enough to watch this with your pants off. But, for the audience that can see through these surface level criticisms you have a worthwhile monster girl anime that proves itself to be more than derivative of past successes.

Monster Musume no Oishasan is in constant conflict when trying to stage a generic story from several different genres, but which do not connect at any time. The anime tries to do comedy, action, drama, romance and other things without an ounce of harmony. The universe presented has a very wide variety of species, and the use of multiple colors has helped a lot to add a difference between them. The best moments of the anime are reached when the protagonist Glenn is exercising his role as a doctor in this fantasy world. The anime seems to care a lot about this, so much so thatthe illnesses presented by all the characters are credible to a certain extent, it is a pity that the purpose of this service ends up resulting in embarrassing moments staged in a fetish-oriented way.

When you think about it, Japan really does have their peculiar collection of anime genres and gimmicks in recent years. Isekai may be one of the most popular trend but there’s still room for monster girls. It’s Summer 2020 and Monster Girl Doctor steps up to the plate to show itself that it has room to be a fun, and perhaps even educational show, about monster girls. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, then you’ll realize that monster girls is still a trend in the anime medium despite not reaching peak popularity. One of the most well-known shows in thepast debuted in July 2015 known as “Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou”. Recently, we also had a show called “Peter Grill and the Philsopher’s Time” airing in the same season. Is Monster Girl Doctor any special in its own way?
Look, I’ll be honest here. These type of shows are often advertised more as ‘want to see more? Buy the light novel!” Indeed, Monster Girl Doctor is based on the light novel of the same name. From start, we meet Glenn Litbeit, a man working in the town of Lindworm. Compared to everyone else, he’s an ordinary guy with skills involving medicine. And of course, his clients are mainly monster girls. He even has a trustworthy assistant, a lamia named Sephentite Nelkes who helps him with his daily work. In a world after a war from long ago, it’s quite pleasing to see two different species work together under the same wing. What’s also special about Glenn is about how calculating he is when working. Being that the clients he treat are monsters, it adds a level of complexity to his job. This ranges from treating simple injuries to complex surgeries. As you can imagine, it’s not easy stepping into the shoes of Glenn Litbeit. Thanks to his personality, Glenn is also a very convincing man, willing to do whatever it takes to treat his patients. This earns the affections from the female cast.
As Glenn’s childhood friend, Sephentite serves as an important character by Glenn’s side. Whenever the two work together, it’s shown that they take their work seriously even though they may not always think alike. A part of the show adapts their character chemistry and how a human interacts with a monster. Glenn’s interaction with the others also remains important with cases such as Tisalia, Lulala, Arahnia, Skadi, Llly, among others. It’s shown through his selfless personality that he is willing to go to great lengths to help them. Some of these girls develop feelings for him such as the case of the mermaid, Lulala. Don’t get me wrong though, this show isn’t about romance. It’s more about a fictional storyteller of the way humans and monsters co-exist in the present world. With each episode, it shows that different monsters behave different ways since the post-war environment.
Watching Glenn working convinced me that he is not only selfless but also seeks to improve the relationship between humans and monsters. Many of the girls that develops feelings for him sees him as someone to trust in, not just for his intellectual skills. From day one, you can see how much Glenn cares about his job and what he wants to do for his clients. Sephentite also knows this and perhaps a bit jealous whenever other female monsters get close to him. Beyond that, don’t expect much relationship development in the show. To my understanding, the anime itself isn’t really a faithful adaptation of the light novel and hence, this anime serves loosely as a story to focus on Glenn and his everyday life. Like I said before, if you want to see more, go read the light novel.
For a show about monster girls, this anime has its windows of fan service. In fact, whenever you hear Glenn treats them, it sounds more like sexual arousal with their moans and reactions. To further amplify the effect, we see how monster anatomy works for different species during treatments. It’s a glorified way for the anime to show fan service without any sex. And if you’re a fan of that, then there’s going to plenty of entertaining that awaits you. Indeed, the monster girls are also designed with sexual allusions such as mermaid’s body, arachnoids’ legs, and even lamia’s long slimy tail. Archnia is one of the more evident examples for using her silk to capture prey. Get it, capture? Glenn himself isn’t even safe when she has a plan in mind. Overall though, the animation quality by studio Arvo Animation is consistent for making every monster girl look unique.
This isn’t the first and surely won’t be the last monster girl theme show you’ll see this generation. Japan has a lot of nutty ideas for animation and Monster Girl Doctor is no exception. For a simple anime like this, it’s popcorn entertainment at best or an attempt at cash grab at worst. Somewhere in the middle, it’s watchable and I can even say it’s somewhat recommendable for anyone looking to watch some experimental fun.

Monster Girl Doctor, or Monster Musume no Oishasan, is...pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. It's about a human man living in a world full of monster people who makes his living by treating their various illnesses. Unfortunately, the premise of the show is much better than its actual execution. If you're looking for an overarching plot, you're out of luck until the last four or five episodes. Before that, each one is more or less standalone, focusing on one type of monster girl in each episode. Yes, monster GIRL. Although I'm certain the monster guys get sick/injured just as often as the monstergirls do, it seems that this particular doctor specializes in females, because...reasons.
Interestingly, the monster girls are quite human in appearance, with a few monster traits, such as gills, animal ears, snake tails, etc, while the men are much more monster-looking.
Let's not mince words, here; this show is all about the fanservice. Within two minutes of the first episode, the main character (don't worry about his name. None of their names are really important, and quite a few are difficult to remember on top of that) is shown fondling a minotaur girl's breasts. There's at least one ecchi scene in every episode, complete with the girls blushing and moaning or making other very erotic noises.
There's also gratuitous amounts of CG, which are often quite jarring when they appear, since it's difficult to merge CG and traditionally drawn art, and this show is not the best representation of particularly good CG.
The characters are rather forgettable, so I won't go into much detail about them. The main character is your typical bland male protagonist. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
The only female of any note is his assistant, the lamia Saphentite. She's supposed to be a nurse, but most of her personality is getting jealous when her boss so much as LOOKS at another female. Which might sound a bit strange, considering he exclusively treats girls... Don't worry about that too much, though.
The art is decent; nothing groundbreaking, but not extremely bland, either, and I will admit that the designs of some of the monster girls are quite creative.
All in all, it's okay to watch if you're looking for a way to waste time, but I guarantee you, there are better things out there.

"Oh great. Another monster girl show which relentless pounds you from behind with cliches, fan service and a bland lead.", is what you might think. However, i can happily say that all is not as it appears at first glance. Why did i watch this show? I usually trawl for anime compilation clips online in search of something that would catch my interest. After another one of my sessions of trawling and adding to my list of shows that look interesting but that i probably won't get around to watching because said list keeps expanding; i found this gem in the rough. What drew me inwas the clip where he falls in between a giant's boobs. It looked like another generic monster girl fan service show, but something about the main character's attitude was intriguing.
I will start with characters, as a harem show with trash characters is a trash show. Don't @ me. First you have the main character, Glenn. He is a doctor that specializes in treating monsters (not just female ones either). He is supported by his fellow doctor Saphentite (a snakey girl). Together they go around healing the sick and performing miracles (examinations) of monsters across the land. Their relationship and its origins are explored well enough in one of the earlier episodes. It explains why Glenn decided to become a doctor for the monsters and also why the two share a strong bond. The centaur, Tisalia is a knightess type character with an "ojousama" laugh which i personally find endlessly amusing. She too like Saphentite, falls for the doctor after being enamored by his calm, gentle yet firm and driven nature. She is not however as arrogant as she appears, as she consistently displays a strong sense of duty and self sacrifice even to her own attendants. The other characters are not developed as much but are by no means bland.
Story. Throughout the show, the doctor performs exams and subsequently treats various monsters. This is where the fan service is centered around. I personally love fan service as i am a fan and enjoy being serviced. Sue me. That being said, apart from the moans and blushing as per usual, it always occurs during the exams where doctors even in real life may have to examine parts of the body that may be sensitive or too shameful. As a person who has had their butt examined for hemorrhoids i can assure you that it is just as shameful. That being said, i did not moan but instead buried my head in the pillow. Despite this, Glenn always maintains a professional attitude. He is not like the usual protagonist who stumbles and stutters and looks away. That kind of doctor in real life would be a garbage doctor. When he has a job to do, he does it; always keeping his patients' concerns and well-being in mind. As the show progresses and he gets approached romantically, he maintains his stoic demeanor but not to the extent which you would assume he reproduces asexually. The way he handles patients in contrast to his mentor and his fellow doctor Saphentite, is what sets him apart. Whether it is their differing philosophies regarding the right to die, honoring the patient's wishes (as opposed to repeatedly trying to convince them of an alternative), or approaching treatment from a psychological aspect instead of purely medicinal, Glenn's methods are always refreshing to look at.
The setting is as is described in the summary and is not explored as in depth or as fast as you would expect. Then again, this show is not about the larger society, but instead the tale of a traveling doctor in a post war land. Art and sound are good but nothing to write home about. I personally loved the character designs, be it their physiques or their clothes.
All in all a refreshing take on the monster girl genre. I look forward to a second season.
Story 7.5
Art 7.0
Sound 7.0
Character 8.0
Enjoyment 8.5
Overall 8/10
P.S: I don't understand why the reviews are so underwhelming. Don't be fazed by that though. Watch a couple of episodes and see for yourself if it suits your tastes. It definitely is worth at least that.

First off, there will be moaning. In fact the anime even starts out with it, letting you know what you'e gonna get. The moaning is ehhh alright but it is juxtaposed with a doctor seriously examining his patient. This will be a recurrent theme and is mostly used as ammunition for the audience to laugh. If it ain't funny for you, you might not want to watch this. The waifus, basically the whole point of watching this show. eh ok. Pretty generic. Characters are paper thin except for a few characters, but the pacing really made their character development felt rushed. So not really the greatest.Lamia is ok tho.
Sound is great. Moaning is ok. Won't get me off tho, but fits well with the humour aspect.
Pretty enjoyable show if you just want to chill

This anime is a hidden gem that exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a perfect blend of humor, heart, and quirky characters that will capture your attention from start to finish. At first, I thought it was just another harem anime, but oh boy, was I wrong! Glenn, the main protagonist, is a dedicated doctor who's oblivious to the fact that his patients are falling for him. It's hilarious to watch him navigate these situations, completely clueless about the emotions swirling around him. But what really stole my heart was Saphentite, Glenn's trusty assistant. She's intelligent, resourceful, and secretly harbors feelings for Glenn. I loved watchingtheir dynamic, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a movie or OVA that explores their relationship further.
The storyline is engaging, with a good balance of humor and heartwarming moments. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy to become invested in their stories.
Overall, Monster Musume no Oishasan is a delightful anime that will leave you smiling. It's a great addition to your watchlist, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted, humorous series with a touch of romance.
P.S. - And don't forget to grab your headphones before binge-watching this anime! There are some... ahem... "interesting" scenes that might not be suitable for sharing with your roommate or family. Trust me, you don't want any awkward explanations! LOL

Monster Musume: Medieval Edition as a Doctor Monster Musume no Oishasan though it seems to be in the same universe as Monster Musume but in the past, by actuality, this was penned by a different author who more or less seemed to have been inspired by Monster Musume in a ways by how much the cast are almost similar to how the main precedent of the main protagonist gaining a monster musume harem along the way. The basic premise of the anime is mostly about Glenn Litbeit voiced by Shunichi Toki who deals with monster species injuries along with his assistant and childhood friend who has achildhood crush on Glenn, that being Saphentite Neikes voiced by Saori Oonishi. Monster Musume no Oishasan does have a story beyond Glenn and Saphee that concerning Skadi Dragonfelt voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki and the state of her city of Lindworm that she governs and employs the help from Glenn to help take care of the monsters getting injured as well as her ailing self as well.
In terms of the harem aspect of Monster Musume no Oishasan, the harem themselves do have stuff outside of Glenn himself even though most all by for Glenn one way or another, from Tisalia Scythia voiced by Sarah Emi Bridcutt a centaur wanting another heir to her company thus sees Glenn as a potential candidate, as well her assistants of Kay Arte voiced by Ai Fairouz and Rona Arte voiced by M.A.O pushing this, to Lulala Heine voiced by Yukiyo Fujii a mermaid who's more of an aloof harem member and more or less she just likes Glenn but not so romantically as the rest of the harem, to which Illy voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro a harpy who is more tsundere about Glenn to Arahnia Arachnida voiced by Yuu Shimamura who's the trickster type who wants to push Glenn and Saphee but also in order to do so, she makes herself into the equation, Kunai Zenou voiced by Maki Kawase a zombie doll who's the MOST tsundere and bodyguard for Skadi and finally Meme Redon voiced by Miho Okasaki a cyclops who's a blacksmith who latter helps Glenn with some tools while trying to get over her shyness,. So yeah the harem reflecting from Monster Musume does have the same species invovled in the harem and again the harem aspect isn't that bad, the biggest competitors to Glenn's harem easily becomes Tisalia and Saphee due to their screentime while the rest of her harem does tend to other things whilst also being in the harem or pushing other members to Glenn. Aside from Tisalia and Saphee, Arahnia gets some development in terms of characterization and probably being the third wheel to the harem.
Now the other story element involving Skadi does make the anime's tone different as it involving discrimination as the city of Lindworm having both humans and monsters living together, well some people don't like that and that comes into play with Skadi herself latter becoming a huge focus, Monster Musume no Oishasan because of this does veer away from the comedy slapstick nature of Monster Musume in a new direction which LA doesn't mind one bit.
However Monster Musume no Oishasan, does have a fanservicey element to it, mainly the "check ups" as well as the suggestive nature of the some of the situations Glenn gets into. more or less it's either innuendos or things that "remind you of something else" fanservice element to it.
The animation done by Arvo Animation was done decently from the decent background work and the obvious exotic character designs. LA really didn't see many derps if at all from Arvo Aniamtion with Monster Musume no Oishasan and the quality of the aniamtion was consistent more or less.
The voice cast was actually pretty good from Saori Oonishi as Saphee, Sarah Emi Bridcutt as Tisalia and Yuu Shimamura as Arahnia. With the bit parts Lulala, Meme and Illy play however, Yukiyo Fujii, Miho Okasaki and Sayumi Suzushiro didn't really get to shine in this anime but nonetheless Saori Oonshi, Sarah Emi Bridcut and Yuu Shimamura did a pretty good job in this anime with the MVP being Saori Oonishi for obvious reasons. Overall this anime's voice cast was pretty good.
Monster Musume no Oishasan if by comparison towards it's predecessor of Monster Musume, it's a lot more serious take on the Monster Musume universe with the same elements of Monster Musume at the same time (it's harem and romance elements), but the "Monster Doc" elements is what makes it interesting and adding to the fact that they do make the illness compatible with the species of that Glenn faces gives it that detail it needed to more or less keep itself grounded while being silly at times when it needed. Monster Musume was fanservicey harem fun, whilst Monster Musume no Oishasan is harem romance with a tinge of surgical seriousness, but seeing another side to the Monster Musume world wasn't that bad either. Overall, Monster Musume no Oishasan was a decent watch and back into the monster musume harem anime world that's a bit more grounded than it's predecessor for better or worse.

Monster Musume no Oisha-san Review SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 ~ PYRAXADON ~ EDIT"MONSTER MUSUME NO OISHA-SAN REVIEW" A lamia, a centaur, a mermaid, a harpy, and a spider-woman. And a slime that one episode. Something about this seems familiar, but I can’t really put my finger on this very, very specific sounding setup. Story: Glenn Litbeit is a special kind of doctor in this ten year old town of Lindworm. Instead of just being practiced in treating his own race of humans, he’s also blessed with the knowledge of knowing how to treat and cure other fantasy species such as minotaurs and reanimated corpses. Because of this, he’s gained akind of infamy in the town, and over the course of the series, showcases his abilities as a Monster Girl Doctor.
The way I’d describe Oisha-san is…inoffensive. Starting off with one-off cases with some of the title girls that’s shown in the opening or any promo art with the series, the show gradually transitions to longer arcs that feature more major cases, but keep the form of the series intact by treating the various maladies that plague these specific individuals that Glenn comes in contact with. Due to the show’s arcic setup, there’s not really much to talk about in the show since what we get in the story is basically what’s on the tin. And because of the show’s constant rinse and repeat, the tone and everything that gets established with Oisha-san gets kind of samey.
I call the show inoffensive because there’s not really a lot of good things to note nor are there a lot of bad things to take into consideration as unfortunate downsides of the show. There are certainly a few…surprise elements that pop up every now and then, but they’re not particularly detrimental to the show as a whole, and none of it really impacts the plot in such a way that I would have to point it out here. The whole tone that the show ends up having is just sort of ‘meh’. I didn’t really have that many reactions or emotions while watching the show because the show honest to god set out what it wanted to do, and considering Glenn’s track record, the results of any of the various patients that he comes into contact with didn’t really surprise me in the slightest. Made even more so by the fact that the cast is filled with monster girls, which is something that’s as of late, has become quite popular. So hurting them is really a no no.
As a result, the show ends up becoming kind of aimless without much to propel the story forward aside from the choppy arcs that come and go one after the other. The most intrigue I can give the show is with some of the worldbuilding that comes with the setting of Lindworm, which unfortunately isn’t explored all that much. But even that much didn’t hold my attention for very long, and the story just kind of ends up as being something that’s servicable, but nothing all that outstanding.
Characters:
Glenn Litbeit is our unfortunate doctor and not harem harem protagonist that’s just really good at his profession. His character is extremely competent and level headed, always one to think a situation through for the good of his patients more so than anything else, and is aware of the things that go on around him even though it seems like at first he’s clueless. He’s also very aware at what some of the women of the life think of him, which is a pretty rare trait for a non-pervert character. Unfortunately, despite having a lot of positive traits, he’s not really all that interesting as a character. His existence as a really, really good doctor is such a mainstay of his personality that there’s not a lot else to talk about, made even more explicit when all of his lines basically pertain to his job and he basically does all of his procedures perfectly. None of this is a disservice to his character, but because he’s kind of written to be the perfect answer to all of these girls’ problems, it leaves no room for him to have any kind of flaws or even a hobby outside of his profession. He’s pretty bland and I think he only adds to the ‘inoffensive’ problem because his character leads for no tension to be had in a series that’s already set up to never fail.
His patients (harem) on the other hand pretty much exist as hosts of biological oddities that provide interesting biology lessons about various fantasy species. Sure they have names, like Lulala, Illy, and Tisalia, but the most important contribution they have to the series is being the sample of their species that Glenn treats in order to give the series its intrigue because Glenn is working with something that has fundamentals that work differently to what the human body functions with. They’re interesting for sure, but as individual characters, they’re all pretty one note, though their interactions with one another can be kind of fun to watch since it’s basically a giant catfight with girls capable of even scarier biological feats.
Saphentite is the only outlier, being Glenn’s lamia assistant and childhood friend who vies for his attention in hopes that one day he’ll take her. (What is with all of the similarities, seriously.) While she’s also one note, the difference with her is that she’s basically glued to the doctor and shows up in every episode alongside him, even going so far as to have a backstory with him, which is nice if only for the fact that it fleshes the characters out a little more so there’s more to them than just the nurse thirsting over the doctor at the clinic. Though not a lot would really change without the backstory, if I may be honest.
Side characters are pretty much filler for the world, and only have bearing on the arcs that they’re involved with, so there’s not really much to say here, although they do serve a more important purpose that I’ll get to next.
Aesthetics:
Arvo animation, a studio who’s so small the only show they’ve really done is “We can’t Study”, (oh god, they did “We Can’t Study”…), the art for the series is pretty standard and I can’t really say much good or bad about it. Design-wise, there’s an obvious ‘generic fantasy’ feel that the series has for it. Made only slightly unique because of the cultural coding that various races are given, like the centaur’s draped in armor, the spider women wearing asian robes, and the harpies wearing stereotypical Native American clothing. Which…not sure if the coding was a good idea, but it makes everyone distinct at least.
What interests me though is the show’s filler or side characters, as, while the sexual dimorphism of the various species are definitely biased in making the women look more human, there was a clear effort in the show’s character design at trying to make the other species look different, and have a slurry of different species in one place. Sure a lot of other fantasy series’ do that, but it’s a nice effort regardless that I appreciated. Now if only they didn’t have to put in the useless fanservice. If making him a doctor was an excuse to make some of those scenes come to light, that’s cheap, creators.
Conversely though, the show uses various 3-D models in place of hand drawing things, and aspects of the show like Saphy’s tail in some scenes, as well as the fairies that help in the clinic pop out as being animated or even made differently. Which, cost-wise is effective, but definitely shows how cheap they were being because of how glaring some of these parts of the show end up looking.
“Campanella Hibiku Sora de” by ARCANA project is, in one word, generic. There’s really not a lot that can be said positively about this song because it’s both serviceable but doesn’t have anything that stands out about it. I kind of expected this to be the case when I first read the show’s synopsis, so I’m not that bothered that the show ended up getting a standard J-pop song as its opening song. Likewise, “Yasashisa no Namae” by Aina Suzuki is yet another J-pop song that doesn’t have a lot going for it. It’s a lot less energetic than its OP sister, but that doesn’t save itself from being also not that memorable in long run. In summary, decent tracks, but there’s not a lot about it that makes me feel like it’s all that memorable even for a spare listen to.
Final Thoughts:
The amount of similarities to the cast of girls that Oisha-san has to “Daily life of Monster Girls” is not really something I expected or wanted. The fact that the main lineup of girls is practically the same, save for a Suu comparison (and Lala, I guess), is a weird coincidence if I’ve ever seen one. Tinfoil hats aside, I honestly didn’t really care much for this show, and at times lost interest in the middle of watching episodes.
The show really just doesn’t have a lot going for it. Sure there’re some stakes every now and then that add tension, but the end result of it makes it barely anything of note, and this same set of events happening every couple of episodes creates an inoffensive show that does what it promises to show, but doesn’t wow the audience with anything beyond what the title says it’s about. I find it a bit of a shame too because you easily could have gone into in-depth biology lessons about the various species. But instead we have all of the doctor’s examinations end up becoming intimate touching sessions where it seems like every part of a monster girl’s body is an erogenous zone, and every girl he finishes an initial examination on is on their knees breathing heavily like they just came out of one intense session. It’s a small blemish on the show since it really didn’t need to be there, but hey, I guess anything to keep the audience’s attention.
So the verdict on Monster Girl Doctor ends it up as a show that ends up being season filler instead of something that’s worth the time to watch. I personally had hardly any emotions while watching the show because I found it boring without a lot of varying substance. Sure it has like maybe 3-4 standout moments, but in a twelve episode series, having barely an episode’s worth of surprising or interesting storytelling/characters through all of that isn’t enough to hold my attention. And sometimes, being a forgettable show is worse than being a show that’s actively hated on. Again, it’s a very inoffensive show; it just also doesn’t have a lot to offer.

Goofy, ridiculous, and delightfully fun. Exceptionally horny show, but also pretty oddly wholesome at times. It's just kind of very sweet and I enjoyed it a lot. It's pretty unique though it does follow some tropes, especially the harem ones. Art style fit the story. Good for the medium. The characters could use some work in some cases, but all the same, it didn't grate on the nerves, nor was it noticeable. High quality popcorn TV, I'd say. Others may not like the series, due to how flat a few characters are, but if one goes in with no to low expectations, it is quitemarvelous, I'd say

As many other reviewers pointed out, "Monster Musume no Oisha-san" isn't in any way related to better-known "Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou" - apart from, well, monster girls starring in both. And the whole female harem trope as well, though this just isn't how Oisha-san was really intended to be. Reading the manga, you see a pulsating city teeming with humans and monsters living together, where Glenn, a young, brilliant and earnest (if a bit clumsy) doctor for monsters is practicing with the help of his beautiful and possessive lamia assistant, Saphentite - a mature yet insecure character torn between her desire to help Glennand the fear he'll grow distant from her. As they help a number of different monster girls, comedy and dramatic moments are mixed with a few, very light (when compared with MonMusu) ecchi scenes. It's a serious story - a good mix of fantasy, monster girls, love comedy, and some weird cryptid anatomy lessons.
The anime takes these elements, grinds them together, and bakes the whole thing into the most cheesy, plain, boring show since Tenchi Muyo. Production must have thought of capitalizing on the success of MonMusu, turning the story into a light comedy meant to appeal to monster girl fans by emphasizing its harem side and ecchi elements. Glenn, Saphentite and all the girls have become so dull and one-dimensional that it's impossible to grow attached to them. As many other reviewers pointed out, the show is just plain boring. It's hard to describe the feeling of outright disappointment I had at the end of the first episode - Monster Musume no Oisha-san deserved so much better! Not only is it horrible character-wise; budget limits are obvious in animation level, which luckily rises from 'abysmal' (check out the battle between Tisalia and the lizardwoman at the end of the first episode!) to just 'poor' as the series goes on.
Not everything is bad, to be completely honest. Art is faithful enough to the manga and, music-wise, there's a captivating, nice middle-east-like theme that goes quite well with the colorful and crowded atmosphere of Lindworm.
Have a look at it if you're a serious monster girl fan and don't mind low quality and dull characters; but if you want to do yourself a favor, just read the manga.

[7/10] Pros: -im studying biology/medicine and this show did a good job of making those 2 fields interesting thru cute big tiddie snek gf and Dr. Glenn explaining how monster biology works without using big words -nice background world building, there was a war between people and monsters, but now they live together in harmony; show doesn't go too much into it but it was interesting when they did allude to it. -big tiddie goth spider gf -funny haha moments with boobies and physical exams getting too physical -cute snek waifu -wholesome doctor-patient relations ;) -ACTUAL wholesome doctor-patient interactions -Dr. Glenn does things a good professional real life doctor would do, like caring aboutpatients, complying with HIPPA regulations, etc.
-did I mention cute snek waifu???
Cons:
-only 12 episodes, i need moar snek waifu
-Dr. Glenn never smashes (???)
TL;DR: watch the show if u like cute monster waifus and enjoy grey's anatomy, its not a show meant to be taken too seriously, enjoy it for what it is bro

tl;dr: A laidback and amusing series about a monster girl doctor. This anime doesn’t have much of an overarching plot. It’s essentially just about the protagonist Glenn, a doctor dealing with various patients, though the twist is that despite Glenn being a human he’s a doctor that specializes in dealing with monsters. This is relatively fast paced with most of the patients he deals with only having a single episode dedicated to them, though a lot of them continue appearing after their arc as side characters that help Glenn in dealing with other patients. It should also be noted that although it is a medical drama,it’s an incredibly light hearted and chill one, wherein there’s never really much of a feeling of risk or suspense and there’s nothing like things going terribly wrong or encountering a disease that Glenn can’t treat. Glenn himself is also an incredibly laid back guy so the atmosphere itself also seems pretty laid back regardless of what’s happening. Thus, it has a very strong slice of life feel to it, just with the life being focused on being a doctor for monsters.
As one would expect based on the title, the vast majority of the patients he deals with, and all of the ones that get stories focused on them, are monster girls. Each of these monster girls usually get some simplistic and quick character development that’s connected to being treated for whatever ails them. This is never all that deep, but there’s a good variety to the types of monster girls and their personalities, so just fleshing them out somewhat is enough to give them pretty well defined characters. At that point, just showing them all interacting in various situations and the various dynamics between them makes them pretty interesting and results in lots of really amusing situations. As a result I don’t think that there’s any specific character that’s particularly likable, but the cast overall felt pretty likable and one that I’d like to see more of.
A lot of the monster girls also seem to fall in love with him to varying degrees as a result of Glenn treating them. Glenn isn’t the type of protagonist too dense to notice, but his stance is that he’s too busy being a doctor to deal with things like romance, so he just tries to brush things off in his laid back manner of his, though that doesn’t change the fact that various characters are trying to get him to fall for them. This leads to a lot of romantic fluff like situations, but it feels it’s more centered around being comedic and amusing than actually romantic and overall I thought it did quite well in that regard. The only exception to that is with what is clearly the main heroine, Saphentite, who is Glenn’s assistant so she ends up getting the most screen time and is usually at the center of any actually serious relationship development.
The production values to the art animation felt a bit cheap and there was a lot of use of CGI. Still, overall it wasn’t all that jarring and I think worked out okay. The designs overall were pretty good which is a must for series centered around monster girls. The soundtrack was fine but not particularly memorable. The OP and ED were similarly decent enough.

Monster Musume no Oishasan (2020) Honestly, what is the obsession with the spider, snake (snakelike) and girls with horse bodies that is so amazing? Like the phoenix girl is adorable and the harpies blush all the time and come on there are catgirls too! and let us be totally honest, it's like Glenn just bang the dragon!? She's hundreds of years old and beyond adorable. This show although advertised about doctoring does spend much more of it doing other things with the occasional doctoring side. You do get build-ups to important moments and ultimately Skadi the only character that truly matters in the show is 100%worth waiting for and watching. If not for her this show would be pretty much run of the mill with nothing particularly exciting to keep you going. This despite some pretty dark backstories. It ultimately has much to be desired.
The art used is a very good standard for such a show and is mostly consistent. It is not what I would consider high quality but does its job. Again we have the unusual style of men look like the animal and girls do not. Skadi explains her appearance perfectly on her segment. You get some odd versions, the rabbit males are hilarious and the seal girls are odd in a way that almost feels cruel.
The sound has an alright fun OP and ED situation. Generally, sounds could be better but they are average. Voices are a very good thing to note with correct pronunciation for animal mannerisms and such where applicable.
Characters development is mainly focused on winning affection. You do get some stories but they fade from memory. That does exclude Skadi since her one is well done and memorable.
As you can tell Skadi is the best girl in case it was missed.
Overall, the show is run of the mill with a plotline with more to be desired. Despite what it does well it is only just above the middle ground.
6/10.

did you say monster girl? where!!! who doesn't like cute monster girl? i for one love monster girls why not it different and interesting it beyond the boundaries of imagination. once more you got a main character surround by cute girls and help them get better with all the power of medical science. Story: the story is much to go on where there no real main villain or much of a plot however it is a slice of life so why not going around helping cute monster girls. thou it may surprise you upon giving some lore about each girl unique biology. at leastit can give you a few chuckle and perhaps flip the switch if you know what i mean :P one thing to mention is that they do tackle a little bit on discrimination and racisms but not to the point that it in your face it more like it subtle about it and that you can easily notice it but i wouldn't\t read to much into it for as it a harem comedy show.
Character: there a lot of characters in this show and each one had there moment in the sunshine which is great because you get to learn more about them and how the interact with each other. best part is that each character cater to different people of preferences if you like cyclops, centaur, lamia, dragons, giants you name it may be here but they are cute and warm you hearts each characters are lovable even that harpy girl for sure :)
Arts: now it is generic art work nothing impressive or mazing however it is easy on the eyes it all i can really say about it.
Sound: I'm not really a big fan of the music that they have use here but still has a good ring to it but i do feel they could of done better and give it a bit more vibes.
Overall: i personally enjoy it in term of harem aspect thou true it not a great harem series but it does have some flair to it i mean it not like the MC is blind to it and know they are after him but he just shrugs it off and act like it no big deal which is great honestly most harem MC could take a page from the MC now i recommend this series to those who like cute monster girls and or like a nice comedy that get you senses going and by senses i mean your hormones going in a frenzy now i\m gonna pause here for a moment and remind you that yes it a harem and yes it somewhat ecchi but no nudity but more a tease if you will. now those who like a nice art work and and comedic style gives this a try if not then maybe a different slice of life would better serve your time. thank you reading and remember keep your monster girls happy and healthy :)

Goat's Review of Monster Musume no Oishasan STORY: 8/10 The story is not completely unlike that of an American medical drama where our doctor protagonist must figure out what the medical issue is with the patient of the episode and then treating said illness. The catch being every patient is half animal so that introduces biological issues in which our human doctor must figure out how to deal with. Think a cheery version of House with animal people and that is pretty much the medical half of the show. The second half is that all the patients are girls who are going to fall in love withour protagonist doctor slowly forming a harem because that seems to be the standard for monster girl series. The one noticeable different monster girl series is that it generally avoids more ecchi elements and scenes which is refreshing. Sure there are a few "Oops I accidentally turned you on" moments but they are generally tame and kept to a minimum
ART: 8/10
The art of this show is gorgeous. Each characters are uniquely designed and the way the town in which they live is beautifully designed and drawn that got me thinking "Yeah if there was a city that had harpies and mermaids it would probably have/need something like that" There are a few scenes were if you look closely you might think is something is off, but generally those are kept to the background and you may not notice them.
SOUND: 8/10
The voices were all clear and distinct with no issues matching to character mouth movements. The EP and OP were alright and sound alright they just are not really my cup of tea.
CHARACTERS: 8/10
The characters fit the needed tropes for a monster girl series. You have the generally bland dark haired 17 year old fit for self insert boy as main character, your jealous lamia main love interest, your proud warrior centaur, your spider-girl who looks and act dangerous but is really a good person, etc. etc. What makes the character of this series stand out is their interaction with one another. Most monster girls shows have their girl interact with each other when in the presence of the male lead with the explicit purpose of trying to one up each other to get into said male lead pants. In this show the girls interact with each other and share their thoughts about the male lead and tell more of their personalities and lives outside of our lead, which gives better development and better characters.
ENJOYMENT: 9/10
I'm generally a fan of other world/RPG inspired monster shows. What made me enjoy this one was the unique approaches our doctor protagonist had to take since each patient is different almost making it like a puzzle or riddle to figure out. That with decent world building shown through the design of the town and how it effects its many different inhabitants and some not to lore dumpy expositions, it made me want to see and learn more about this world and watch more of this show
OVERALL: 8/10
With 8s in all but one category this shows gets that 8 overall. A very good show that if you enjoy the monster girl genera I'm sure you'll find enjoyment in.

Monster Musume no Oishasan is nothing unique, but not everything has to be. It's fun, heartwarming, has interesting characters from a variety of races and provides humour and fan service in ample amounts. It's a cool take on the harem category by having a doctor's patients and his assistant, all fall in love with him. I enjoyed the series thoroughly and while it has no real serious plot, the character interactions, chemistry and ridiculousness of the medical exams were great for me. This show is definitely not for someone looking for a serious story or any type of cohesive narrative. It's literally a monsterof the week type thing, and it works well. I really enjoyed the character designs, the diversity of monster girls and medical techniques used. The art is decent enough, animation and OST are nothing to write home about, but they're solid as well.
Overall, I think Monster Musume no Oishasan is the better of the two monster musume shows and actually is one of the more underrated shows of the year. If you're bored and looking for something cute and heartwarming to watch, give it a try. I liked it. Monster Musume no Oishasan gets 7 sneks out of 10.

Monster musume no Oishasan it the right kind of anime for me. It´s not a damn Isekai it does not try to gout of it´s way to be deprressing as all hell it does not kill people left and right just to drive a plot and it´s not about the more angry I become the more stonger I get and it´s not about love and magical friendship will save the world. This is a down to earth anime about a young man being a doctor a monster doctor that for some reason only have female patients but still a fun good down the earthanime that tries to be a bit serius but not so much it becomes depressing.
If you like down to earth anime with fantasy elements and some fun this is a freaking great anime in a sea of Depressing, murdering, Heanti ish, Over powered, Transported to another world sea of anime series.

Monster Girl Doctor is a typical yet tame harem series in most regards. If you enjoy that genre, just give it a watch. As a fan of monster girls, I enjoyed watching this series. That said, it was pretty slow and suffers from typical harem problems. The main character, Glenn, is... well, a pretty bland guy. He's rich and skilled at his profession, I admit, and he's a nice guy in the sense that he actually does genuinely care for the well-being of others without having ulterior motives. But... that's all. He has no cool hobbies or other special skills, no particular convictions that gethim into trouble or any noticeable character flaws.
Putting the MC aside for a moment, the direction of each episode is very to the point. A monster girl gets introduced and.... she has a medical problem. Who would have guessed? The doctor and the girl meet, and he cures her. Tada! Now she's in love with him. Pretty straightforward, but at least you know what to expect from each episode. Unfortunately, each of the girls is just barely more than a cardboard cut-out of a personality type. I'm not a fan of the fan service that happens during medical examinations either. It's comical at best. In any case, I can't say it's particularly exciting or titillating.
The visual design is alright, but nothing special. Same for the sound design. The voice acting was pretty decent, if somewhat over-the-top at times.
In the end I did watch all of the episodes, and I did enjoy myself. But Monster Girl Doctor really isn't that great of a series. Fun, yet forgettable, like most other series.
