In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He also sought after a wide variety of animals to populate the planet. However, he felt that it was too tiresome to think of new ideas within his criteria. To address this problem, God appointed an organization—the Heaven's Design Team—to do the work instead!
Shimoda is a newly-hired angel who serves as the mediator between God and the design team. As he steps into his role, he witnesses his coworkers conceive interesting ideas for many unique life forms according to God's desires. From giraffes and snakes to birds, anteaters, and everything in between, the possibilities for different animal species are endless!

Who cares if the average rating is not great? Who cares if someone says this anime isn't that good? Who cares if someone says there is no plot, just animals? If you want a fun slice of life to watch, this is a good choice. Tenchi Souzou Design-bu or Heaven's Design Team is an anime where God (yes, literally God) has gotten tired from making animals himself that he branched it off to his angels or "employees" and they sit down to make animals. The angels are named after planets of the solar system and every one of them has some kind of specialty. For example,one of the employees made the masterpiece called "horse" so he specializes in his "orders/requests" from clients around horses. This may sound like a dumb plot at once but trust me, whether this may sound dumb or fun, it is truly fun to watch.
The story goes on at a fun pace, making 2 or 3 animals per episode and sometimes leaving off with a cliffhanger. Likable characters aid in making this anime even more enjoyable. Someone can even gain intelligence of animals from this anime, they describe every aspect of the animal that they make and I do pay attention to learn stuff I had never learned. Did you know that koalas eat their own feces or that Giraffe is directly related to deer or there are immortal animals? Crazy, right? This is one of the reasons I love this anime because facts are actually interesting and new to me and who doesn't love to learn new facts. Not to mention the comedic speech used is actually gonna give someone a nasal laugh. Personally, I may have laughed one or two times per episode but I did laugh nasally. This anime truly adapts the real world and its concepts and uses it to explain legit facts. Straight up, you can't deny facts spoken in this anime is facts, no one can.
There are several interesting characters who work with each other and help each other making animals which are really fun to watch. I am really a fan of their simplistic art style; just look at the MC, does he look like a traditional anime MC? maybe? but hey, he is the main character.
One of the best things about this anime is the OP. So catchy and upbeat, one of the main reasons I kept watching every episode as soon as it came out is solely for the catchy OP. This is one of my favorites for the 2021 season of Winter. From nice visuals to beat-matching movements and a nice way to caption credits, Asahi Production is really starting to become an underrated studio for me.
I would like to finish off by saying that this is indeed an anime that could be classified as "underrated" or "underloved". Ultimately, Heaven's Design Team is a Comedic Slice of Life of God's angels/employees making animals while respecting other species and their surroundings while aiding each other to make wonderful animals and listing several facts one did not know about. Who doesn't love crazy facts? Tell me. The fact that I am here spending time on writing this review shows how much I appreciate this anime for existing and it is one of the animes that you could have fun watching more than 1 time.
P.S - If you have made it until this part of the review and you liked my review, make sure you watched this anime since it is really fun to watch as I keep insisting. Have a wonderful day!

You know, if God really did ask for even half of Earth’s creatures to be made just on the whims of really vague requests, I’d believe it. Because nature is often times really fucking bizarre and the things that’re considered as ‘evolutionary advantages’ really test the limits of how ‘life finds a way’ no matter the situation. Fun, but also really…really weird. Story: Putting it simply, God got too bored or busy to make all of the animals on Earth, so he did as all corporations do and outsourced his work to a group of designers that have God himself be the main client to fulfill anyvague animal requests that he thinks should exist. And so we follow our group of nine designers and administrative staff on their day to day life of designing all of God’s creatures for him. Hoping that not only does their client give them his stamp of approval, but that hopefully he’ll be a little more specific in his requests because vagueness really doesn’t help a creative’s mindset whenever they’re trying to fill out the whims of someone else.
And that’s about it for the synopsis. An episodic series by nature, Heaven’s Design Team is a show that devotes all of its time and effort into the client’s various requests and fulfills a small handful of them each episode. The general storyline starts out with a vague set of parameters from God, to which various members of the design team work to create something that fits within those parameters before the final reveal is shown when God himself gives the animals its stamp of approval to just simply exist. A pretty generic formula for sure, but one that somehow never feels old or unfulfilling to watch. This I believe is because part of the fun in the show is just kind of guessing what animal the team ends up making or what facts the audience ends up learning as a result of being introduced to a new species that they’ve never seen before.
And this educational guessing game is why I think the show succeeds. At no point does the show try to be anything more than an educational anime with quirky characters, and everything always leads back to the various ‘projects’ that the design team is working on. The animals at the end of the day are always, always the stars of the show. This, combined with the various talking points on the logistical and evolutionary factors that animals have developed in order to survive contribute the bulk of the show to a degree that almost seems like a documentary, yet never feels like a lecture because of how the material is presented. Now, do they also introduce some really weird and oddly hilarious facts about some of the more well-known species in the world? Absolutely, and I love the show all the more for diving into the weird and the obscure to balance out the more common species that everyone learns about when they’re a kid.
Characters:
The cast of characters that we have here mostly consist of Shimoda, a new administrative angel, and the design team, each of whom are named after one of the nine planets in the Solar System. (Yes, Pluto is actually the name of a character in this show.) While they certainly aren’t deep characters with much to them, the show gives the designers in particular surprisingly memorable personalities nonetheless. This is mostly because each of the six designers have a specific ‘niche’ of animal that they each specialize in/create. Neptune mostly builds the cute-looking animals like otters and pandas, Saturn made the horse (and he will remind you of that every day), Venus specializes in bird design, and Pluto makes all of the weird or dangerous shit. Each member of the main cast stands on surprisingly even footing with everyone else, and their interactions and varying design philosophies are part of the reason why the animal creation process just ends up being so damn interesting and fun to watch.
There’re a number of side characters like the insect team, Ueda, Shimoda’s senior, and God himself, but they mostly exist on the sidelines and in a sense, just expand the show a little bit more beyond just the main design room and the Galapagos Island testing grounds that’re featured as the series’ main setpieces. I’d mention the animals here again due to how vital they are to the show, but they’re more plot points or relevant story bits rather than important characters that mean much on the cast side of things.
Aesthetics:
Asahi Production being a production studio I haven’t really heard of really surprised me with how pleasing this show looks. Everything is very bright and colorful, being reminiscent of kids anime with the kind of popped out pastel colors that the show has going on. It’s consistent if nothing else and definitely gives a friendly and fun vibe to the show if nothing else. And while the show definitely has only a handful of setpieces, the general comedy and flair that the show manages to muster out of both its characters and the various species that get featured is honestly a lot more fun than it has any right to be. Especially when the series always does a shot of the final design of the animal followed by God’s stamp of approval for the design. Again, enjoyable, with few complaints due to how well it fits the mold at the end of the day.
96neko’s “Give it up?” is probably the only autotuned anime OP that I’d give a full pass for. It’s a really fun song that has a lot of charm to it despite being a really poppy song that has little else to provide aside from the ear-pleasing upbeat tone that it has going for it. Would highly recommend a listen because I think it really sets the mood and the tone that Heaven’s Design Team has throughout its entire run. By contrast, “Designed by Heaven”, sung by the voice actors of the two administrative angels is a song that I would describe as being ok, but is vastly overshadowed by its OP sister. A nice palette cleanser that gives the show a nice ending note to close off the episode, but little else I feel beyond that.
Personal Enjoyment:
Given how absolutely inoffensive the synopsis of the show was when I first saw this, I had a hard time believing that this could be fucked up in any way and threw all of my chips in the middle betting on the fact that this show would end up being just an absolute marvel by the end of the day. And it was just that. And I have absolutely no complaints about it other than the fact that it ended. And I want more.
Heaven’s Design Team taps into that bit of childlike joy I have with just discovering more things about the natural world. The mystery and vagueness of each of God’s requests really give each episode the hooks it needs in order to draw the audience in, and the way that the characters interact with each whether they be collaborating on various assignments or competing against one another give each animal created just the right amount of added flavor in order to keep the runtime interesting. Not to mention the science to explain why every animal is the way it is. Even the unexplainable shit that gets approved by God anyway cause it looks fun to have on Earth.
At the end of the day, while there really isn’t much to talk about due to the show’s simplicity, I’d argue that’s the reason to watch the show in the first place. It doesn’t try to do anything beyond its means, and the thing that it’s good at, it’s REALLY good at. And this show ended up being way more fun than I had ever expected it to be. Personally I would recommend everyone to give this show a whirl and see where it leads you. Because if there’s anything that this show has taught me, it’s that nature really is a lot fucking weirder than it should be. And I am inclined to believe that that is a good thing because, as always, life always finds a way.

"Everything began, with the creation of the world. The Almighty God created everything: light, waters and the land. Then, He tried to make the creatures living on Earth: animals...or so, that was the plan. God thought He'd create them, but it became tedious, so He outsourced them instead"...to the only group that could: the Heaven's Design Team. This Winter 2021 season is stacked on all fronts, but also in the edutational department as well? Sheesh, what a time to be alive! If there was ever an eulogy for the passing season, it'd go like this: Dr. Stone: Teaches you all about the properties of Science, according toChemistry
Cells at Work: Teaches you all about the properties within your body, according to cells
Yuru Camp: Teaches you all about the properties of camping, according to outdoor camping standards
Heaven's Design Team: Teaches you all about the properties of All (Living) Creatures of Our God and King, according to Biology
And honestly, you can take whatever show for all its worth, but going back to this show, it serves to illustrate biology of real life animals, explaining their characteristics and some issues regarding mythical animals (e.g. unicorns, which can't be Approved). And all of this while showing the concepts of design thinking, such as testing and prototyping, while God takes the wheel by either approving or declining the designs of living creatures as God's clients see fit. SAIYŌU!
If anything, this show is tons of comedic fun and is a blast to watch, much less being a show that's IMO underrated, or at worse, overlooked. Featuring an episodic storyline of how animals and other living creatures came to be, Heaven's Design Team doesn't scramble its way through skipping important functions in the midst of the many creations, but rather potently going through step-by-step to what makes the living creatures special and unique about them in methodological order. And it's this level of detail in edutational shows like these that make or break the experience, and in most instances, largely makes it up for some learning pointers to the many common creature folk and the few that are just uncommon or rare.
Adding to the fun factor, is the large myriad of characters that serve as both the go-to intermediaries between humans and God, and of course, the Design Team itself (though I don't quite understand why the translations to the Design Team's characters are assigned planets for names, that's just off-putting):
Starting with the intermediaries: rookie angel Shimoda and his supervisor, Ueda. Shimoda largely serves to both oversee the Design Team and be the communication point between them and God. The submissions of the Design Team's paper drawings of details and illustrations of their potential animals are given to Shimoda, which is enclosed in a special handy-dandy book, to which then God sends him a direct telepathic message with His decision to judge whether the creature is approved or rejected. Ueda is like Shimoda, only less active in the communication space, and handles other creature departments, such as the Insect department.
Onto the Design Team:
- Tsuchiya/Saturn, chief of the Design Team, and has a weird obsession for his greatest masterpiece: horses. Horses can come in many shades but of the same looks and size, but to put his character in perspective, one that will go far to create iterations of horses that are mythical and not really suited for real-life uses (a.k.a unicorn or pegasus). He has a grandson named Kenta who visits the Design Team on occasion. Like (grand)father like son, he loves horses, but weirdly enough, his childish drawings sometimes becomes approved animals.
- Kimura/Jupiter, the most carefree of the team and rarely gets into an argument. Despite his greatest masterpiece being the cow, he's a foodie by nature, the vast majority of his designs are meant to be eaten, but can sometimes go too far by judging animals if they're worth tasting. He also enjoys acting like a detective when mysteries happen, on occasion that is.
- Mizushima/Mercury, the impersonal and somewhat apathetic member of the Design Team. He does not have a particular quirk in designing his animals, aside from making them as efficient as possible, and is always the one to point out issues with his teammates designs. His greatest masterpiece are snakes, to which the usual conflict with Kanamori is deeply in particular since the latter's bird designs are often preyed upon by his snakes.
- Kanamori/Venus, the flamboyant trans woman with an eye for beauty and style, and with her greatest masterpiece being birds, it's not hard to see the parallels. She has a tendency to be overly dramatic and hates to settle on her designs if they are not absolutely aesthetically beautiful to her liking. She also bears a strong dislike of insects in general.
- Meido/Pluto, the punk-lolita dressed-up fashionista and a deep obsession creating morbid features into her design. Her greatest masterpiece are poisonous frogs, which are an indication of her designed creatures tending to be poisonous, cannibalistic, and parasitic, yet she considers them to be cute, and have the widest range of animal designs from a shark to a koala.
- Unabara/Neptune, the tall and big man, but with the heart of gentleness and sensitivity. His greatest masterpieces are the kangaroo (and later the sea otter), and has an eye for creating cute animals.
- Higuchi/Mars, the Design Team's primary engineer who creates drafts of the animals that the crew creates for testing. Being largely opinionated about the roughly drafted end designs (much less design fixes needed), her passion for creating animals can sometimes be aggressive, but she maintains that happy friendliness towards everyone. She also runs and maintains Galapagos Island, a simulation island meant to test out new animals to be sent out to the wild for testing.
- Mushibu, the side Insect Department dedicated to designing insects, though sometimes wheeled in to help out with the Design Team's creations. There are seven members of the team, but they all share the same appearance aside from different colored shirts, and occasionally talks in unison.
- Last but not least, there's Yokota, Hell's representative. Speaking in a Chunni fashion, in the similar manner to God, he occasionally tasks the Design Team with creating hellish creatures to inhabit the realm, though he's not a part of the crew.
An aesthetic choice to go for a simple but striking animation design as per Asahi Productions's pedigree, because realistically it's just a showcase of cutesy designs and a look that doesn't need lots of polishing, just enough to make it stand out. It's goody-two-shoes alright and nothing much to complain about. But the music, oh man the music, it's light-hearted with the peppy feels. This might be one of the rare times that 96Neko (a.k.a Kuro Neko) has had a song like that, and the OP is definitely very catchy. Same goes to the ED, and this is my personal bias, but I absolutely love songs that are produced by the old techno-electronical classy folks at Technoboys Pulcraft Green-Fund, and this ED is no different (that one episode with the full Engrish ED weirdly slaps though).
When all is said and done, this show is good for sleep-inducing chilling comedic levels of relaxation and rest, albeit in a very good way that if you glossed over it, you're not missing much, just rewind and restart like normal! Throwing in the facts: it's the wet dream of biologists everywhere, and you'd not be wise to watch this one if you have the time. Recommended for animal lovers and the like.

About as simple as it gets, without any aspirations to be anything other than a slightly manic workplace comedy. It's also surprisingly educational; I definitely picked up a few extra animal facts here and there. Mostly, it's carried by its characters, who are all very fun and silly and chaotic and charming. It's very fun to watch with friends; me and the people I was watching this with made a very fun game out of trying to guess what animal the team were designing at any given point. Often everyone was wrong. There's probably a good drinking game in there somewhere...

Fuck y'all. This is the kind of food I want. No more of that same shit, I want animal planets. Cells at Work? Nah man, we don't focus on fictional anime females or males. This here is where actual culture lies, the true justice of the ever-loving but still cruel hands of nature: animals. Learning about the body in a digestible way is fun and all, but fuck, I wanna know the useless information. Like the fact a mother bear can get pregnant from multiple other bears at the same time, with every single one of her children being from different fathers while not yet beingborn. Family day must be very interesting for bears.
This one dude, what a man, anyways this dude is single-handedly responsible for creating the saviours of our planet. He has created the sea otters, rabbits, seals, penguins, anything cute in the animal kingdom, he was the true origin. Thank you man, you have saved us all. If he decided to be a leader of his own religion, I will worship him. One other guy, the old man, truly has the best taste though. Horses are to be worshipped, I agree old man.
Reject humanity, become monke. We must become one with the wild.

Heaven's Design Team is a neat episodic-style series that feels like a documentary had a kid with a comedy. I enjoyed my time with it but I had enough of it by the time it was over. The story is lackluster and pretty much a monster-of-the-week format. Each episode several creatures, say five or so, come into the spotlight. You will be dragged along the creature creation concept based on God's vague whimsical requests. The design team has to figure out how to make a viable creature that fulfills the request, and it's exciting to see those odd requested features go from an unrecognizable first draftto an animal you'll likely have heard of before. Seeing the thought process is humorous and fascinating and how they overcome certain obstacles during the design process really makes the series what it is. It's lighthearted without any dark twists, and what you see is what you get. If you like the trailer, you'll like the series.
The characters are pretty much all defined by one or two personality traits. Seeing how short the series is, I didn't really expect more. It's enough to make it all work and give everyone their 'thing' and area of expertise. It works well enough, and the main character seems to be a kind guy. Nothing special here, anyway, but nothing to complain about either.
Music and sound effects were unremarkable. The opening was condensed musical diabetes, but the ending was catchy - it reminded me of Interspecies Reviewers in a way. Artwork and backgrounds are minimal and the lack of art budget is quite noticeable, yet the finished animals actually look really good.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with this series. I watched it together with my partner and we had a great time. On the other hand, by the time we reached the final episode we were kinda done with it and happy that it ended when it did.

A good anime if you like anything that's bubbly, light and easy to watch. The characters are well written, although they do seem a bit too scared of death for immortals. Do not watch if you want heavy drama, dramatic tension or anything: this is first and foremost a comedy, and an educational one, just like Cells at Work. The character design is on point though, and I really love Unabara-San. Overall a good anime, but one that is very likely to be forgotten in just a few months, as with most seasonal anime. The art and sound design were both really plain though: notbad, really, but nothing too impressive either. It's to be excepted of such anime, so I can't really complain much.

Heaven's Design Team is an anime that... Well, it's not an anime in a default sense. There's no plot. There's no punchline. What Heaven's Design Team IS, is a lightweight easy-to-digest trivia about various animals. It's not bad, but it's not good either. All the micro-episodes follow the same pattern: -god orders the design team to make some seemingly fucked-up animal (think "make an animal whose males go through pregnancy!") -design team makes some noodle-doodle play-doh monster that fulfills that requirement without dying from some critical body failure -they add some final touches to the design -a-HA! it turns out it was Seahorses ALL ALONG!!!! Crazy, ain't it, dear viewer?!?!!And rinse and repeat. Well, I'll admit that the idea is... servicable, but 5 minutes of watching just to know that this animal is fucked up in this way, or that animal is fucked up in that way is way too long. Any shred of comedy evaporates by the time punchline arrives, but then again the amount of educational information isn't dense enough to properly be an educational anime.
Characters are cardboard archetypes too, you'll know exactly what to expect from them at a glance, and they won't become anything more, ever.
IN SUMMARY
This anime's strong point is the fact that it doesn't have glaring weak points, so even though it's a lukewarm, glorified trivia pop-up ad in a form of anime, you will only regret using your time to watch it (contrary to bad anime where you hate losing your time memorizing garbage you'd rather forget).
So, if you want to waste some time and have nothing great to watch, it's a good time-filler with no substance (and no consequences).

I wasn't sure if I was going to like Tenchi Souzou Design-bu but it turned out to be a cute little anime that was both entertaining and interesting to watch. Tenchi Souzou Design-bu isn't a story heavy narrative, or even a character driven story, it's just an anime with funny characters who discuss animal characteristics and why specific animals are built in the way they are. It's very interesting and the final episode is even a little heart warming, but don't expect even the most basic of a storyline. There's not much to say outside if you want an anime that you can just relax to andlearn some animal facts then this is a good one.
7/10. No story or character development or drama or anything of the like but was a cute, enjoyable watch regardless.

STORY: The anime doesn't have a proper story to follow at each episode, but it still manage enough content to make the watcher see in order to catch up some gags or puns. But what makes the anime extraordinary is the fact that is an educative way to tell about animals without being too serious like a school, and going to the thought of "the science must be fun for everyone". This is showed by us a way better that we can find in Hataraku Saibou for example, because it's less complex for kids and adults. (8/10) ART: The art is very polite in a waythat helps to catch the attention of kids and it's easy and pleasant to see even for adults. Colorful, simple traces, perfect for an educational anime. (9/10)
SOUND: In terms of sound design, the anime is simple but it's still good, when it comes to that informative sketches. But when we talk about opening and ending, the anime is truly good, with catchy songs which combines to the atmosphere of the anime. (8/10)
CHARACTER: Definitely the best part of the anime. The characters are charismatic enough to make you understand their personalities and how they apply that personality in the work they are making for God. Fun and informative, the characters are the thing that make the anime good enough to be extremely enjoyable for everyone in every age. (10/10)
ENJOYMENT: Perfect enjoyable, for kids, teenagers and adults. Don't need to say more, go watch. (10/10)
OVERALL: The overall is: great anime, go watch NOW. (9/10)

It's a silly edutainment show about a team of designers to whom God (a fussy client we never see) has outsourced the creation of animals. The show both revels in design-focused humour (clients are the worst) and teaches you about the biology and physiology of various animals (in way more detail than I would have expected); it actually doesn't feel like it's aimed at kids? It's also very much a series of vignettes within and across episodes, where the continuity is mostly about the relationships between characters, who are really diverse and fun. There's some nice gender expression diversity (i.e., a super soft and sweetmuscular man designing cute animals like Otters, a little girl who makes the creepiest and grossest animals like poisonous frogs, a rowdy beer-swilling female engineer), and there's a trans woman character (Venus / Kanamori) - though, she's played by a male actor, which is not ideal.
Would strongly recommend for folks looking for something silly, sweet, and light!

The last time I watched an educational show while being genuinely invested I was probably in Kindergarten, back then I didn’t have much autonomy on what could and couldn’t watch so Sesame Street and Barney The Dinosaur were the things I had to watch in preparation for Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon. I didn’t mind them that much but I have a certain affinity to them, especially Sesame Street. There was something cool that made mathematics or geography interesting while having nice animations and songs. As an adult, I often step upon pieces of trivia that will engross my knowledge about stuff that probably won’t beuseful ever, but as they say, knowledge is power and it can also save you from boring chit-chat or making you look like an interesting (yet insufferable) person who knows stuff. As I found this kind of chunks of trivia in some video games or anime I was wondering if I was ever going to watch an educational show of my own volition or if that was even possible, then by pure luck, Tenchisozo Design Bu appeared out of nowhere to shut my mouth.
The story of Tenchisozo Design Bu or Heaven’s Design Team as it was localized in the Western world, revolves around a high-end magical design team that is in charge of designing God’s (the Christian one) most ridiculous requests, like making an animal that is cute and ugly at the same time or one that can swim and walk on earth, just to make vague examples. Part of the fun of each episode is trying to discover beforehand what real animal the design member would come up with. Even if it’s a little formulaic, the show has some versatility like some episodes being a stand-off between two members or others being a full-team work.
The cast of characters is pretty good, you have some tropes to it but each one of them works pretty well for the needs of the show and is easy for any person to relate to them. Also, I don’t think it is mandatory to work in a place of similar nature but if you do, it certainly adds a new layer that will make you enjoy it more.
This show was a breath of fresh air as there are many things in the same package, on one hand, it is a wholesome slice-of-life comedy (getting aside the magical aspect of it), and on the other, it teaches you about animals, all kinds of animals and all kinds of trivia. I was surprised by how many things I didn’t know about common animals like penguins or whales and how they interpret their characteristics in a fun relatable way, like whales having laser beams, in a way it’s like having a cool teacher that wants you to know stuff not by forcing it into you but by presenting entertaining activities.
It has a somewhat insinuation of a story that is nice to have but it is pretty noticeable that this isn’t a high stakes show, as sometimes when the plot needs to get more serious in tone it fails to get you that engaged and you will mostly want to get back to the educational stuff.
Tenchisozo Design Bu is a pretty solid anime that will make you have a wholesome time while being educated, but don’t expect a great story to be accompanied with.

Watching this anime is like eating an nugget. Fuss free, brings joy, fulfil some craving but doesn't fill up the stomach. If you're looking for a mind-blowing, perspective-changing anime, this probably isn't the one. But if you had a bad day at work and just want to watch a quick silly (yet educational) anime over lunch, this is perfect for few chuckles that brighten things up just a little :) And of course, their sense of humor can be kind of strange at times, but that's what make this show charming! I wished the animation quality could be slightly better though. The characters are endearingbut their charms are just diminished by the static animation at times :(

in simple terms, I greatly enjoyed this show. It is an excelent blend of educational and genuinely funny. When it comes to shows that incorporate learning into their story, it hits the sweet spot. Too much can also make a show seem boring or tedious. Too little leaves you wanting more. This anime hits the perfect balance. It makes you want to tell the nearest individual what you have learned after watching. The characters are refreshingly diverse. Many anime follow similar outlines for all of their characters with little room for nuance, especially when it comes to gender. Heaven's Design Team's characters throw out genderroles completely. They are true to themselves and are unconcerned with meaningless things like gender stereotypes. I also have to give the show props for showing one of the only trans characters I have ever seen in anime. I hope we can see more characters like her in the future.
The concept of Heaven's Design Team is very intriguing. It feels like something I would think about while spacing out in the shower (if I were religious). I really like that they also included how the anatomies would work in mythical animals. I never thought I would be so interested in why a unicorn could not exist. I imagine it would be difficult to explain the inner workings of made-up creatures. I have much respect for the author's vast wisdom. While the art style was unique, the animation itself was nothing to write home about. I really liked the bright colors that made the world feel all fluffy and upbeat. The character designs were somewhat simple, but the colors made them stand out more. You can really get a sense of their personality just from looking at their clothes.
Overall, This show is absolutely worth watching. Especially if you have any interest in animals or biology. But I think you can get enjoyment out of it either way.
