So, you’ve taken the Monster Musume Waifu Quiz. You’ve pre-ordered Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls after you fell in love with the English dub trailer:

…but there are STILL things you missed! Take a look at these five details you missed in the anime series because you were otherwise…distracted.

Even the Background and Side Characters Have Assets

Monster Musume Maid Cafe

Take a look at the ordinary people in the background. The folks in the market, the maid café, and even the park all look like they could easily have their own anime going for them.

It’s a Story About Accepting Diversity

Miia gets ridiculed on the street for having the body of a snake. Rachnera deals with discrimination because her host family thought she was scary. The demi-humans are seen as novelties or oddities, but they are real people with real feelings. Seeing Kimihito stand up for the girls was one of the delights of the show.

Okayado-san Made a Cameo

Kimihito is Actually a Very Practical Young Man

Kimihito Kurusu Monster Musume

Sure, we give him a lot of flak for being a typical harem hero with an entourage of too many beautiful girls, but you have to admit: the dude’s got his life together. He can cook, clean, keep a budget, and he’s memorized everyone’s favorite foods.

Monster…. MONSTER… MON MON MON MON…
