Monster Musume is getting an anime, by popular demand! Its projecting airing date is July 2015. The Monster Musume Manga was the New York Times #1 Bestselling book when Issue #1 launched in October in the United States, and has been in the Top 10 almost every time a new issue has come out. Issue #6 came out just this last Tuesday.

Now the world of TV will know that Lamia Waifu is best Waifu.

EDIT: Found this today!

EDIT 2 (June 26th): UPDATED OP WITH NEW VIDEO FROM TOHO FOR MONSTER MUSUME!

EDIT: Sorry, double post.

That looks...boobtastic?

I'm not too lazy to google it, but for others jumping into the topic wondering what this is a brief summary might help.

I'm interested in whether they censor everything or go whole-hog on the nudity: that always leads to interesting discussions about anime and I never get tired of seeing Toy Story Woody's head on naked Queen's Blade action figures (hoping this leads to something similar).

 

[TakerFoxx]

Weird. I remember back when it was just a little 4koma hentai. It sure has come a long way.

 

[Queen Michael]

That looks...boobtastic?

It is, indeed, boobtastic.

Also, I'd like to correct the OP.

Every book in the series has become at least a #2 New York Times bestseller.

The side of my that is still young, innocent, and naive is screaming for joy right now. Best fucking manga ever written[footnote]If you take this seriously, just... just don't quote me. I'll be too busy laughing to respond.[/footnote]is becoming an anime! Best girl Miia will be brought to the masses.

Now the old cynical, side of me is terrified. Cause I'm pretty sure someone along the lines of this going from manga to anime will fuck up the purpose of Monster Musume. Like try and give it a story or moral values. Ruining the three main points of Monster Musume; Monster Girls, over-the-top ecchi, and harem joy. The only thing this side is excited to see if the girls' animations.

Brief summary is as follows:

It turns out that half-human monster species are real and the government has finally admitted it. They have done so through a treaty called the Cultural Exchange Accord.

Enter the agent who sets up the exchange student monster-girls with their hosting families. Only said agent shows up with a lamia named Miia (pictured in the OP) at the protagonist's house and basically dumps her there even though the main character ISN'T a host family. (She just didn't want to follow up with the paperwork) So, the hero of the story ends up hosting a young lamia who quickly decides that she loves him and really REALLY wants to sleep with him. Problem is, he has been informed that any sexual relations between him and the lamia will result in him being arrested and her being deported. Let the slapstick fanservice comedy ensue!

The other monster girls end up entering his life (and house) either through madcap circumstance or because the Cultural agent just decides to dump them in his lap to cut down on her workload.

The manga is filled with slapstick comedy, bad puns (Oh God, the horse puns when the centaur arrives) and massive numbers of boob shots for fanservice.

In all honesty, I find the humor in it hilarious and really do recommend it.

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

I've heard of this, and to be honest it sounds like a lark.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Who knew the world was so into monster girls.

The manga was fun enough, but they started pulling monster girls out from everywhere at a certain point and it just became a bit too crowded. Yes, even a harem anime can just have too many frikking girls.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I read about this and I may give it a shot althought Ecchi anime tend to be a hit or miss for me even with the fanservice.

EDIT- Saw the trailer and yup I will definitely give it a go!

 

[M0rp43vs]

Woo! That's good. Who knew a little 4koma hentai series could take the world by storm on day? And believe me or not, I'm not in it for the fanservice (well, only a little...) this series somehow manages to create really cute likeable characters with very nice chemistry with a backdrop of the problems of Monster/ Human relations. Shame people might see all the T&A and get turned off but I guess that's fair.

Also, if you're thinking this is just another "Lonely guy doesn't have sex with girls throwing themselves at his feet", know that at least in this case:1) he actually does notice and has shown multiple times that he reciprocates and, 2) if he does consummate, he'll be arrested and the girl will be deported because they will be "harming" each other due to terrible politics.

Also OP, while Mia is a good choice, she is mere second place to Horse Waifu!

 

[The Wykydtron]

Pfft, Rachnee is clearly the best girl. Anyone who says otherwise is in massive denial or isn't into hardcore bondage like me

I hope the anime is good, the manga is actually pretty amazing.

Snip

... I'm ashamed to admit this, but I REALLY like the series and I actually know what Monster Musume is.

It's not even the erotic teases or stupid fan service here and there. The character designs and personality of each girl is rather unique and eye catching. Plus the humor and plot is quite entertaining plus I have a 'thing' for monster / animal humanoids. Take what you will of it, but this series is great so hearing that an anime will be taking hold of the series is AMAZING news.

Why even be ashamed? I'm still trying to figure out whether snake or spider girls are better (it's really damn close for me) and I've written essays on Monster Girl Quest which is basically Monster Musume 3.0 and how it's legitimately a better piece of storytelling and character development than the vast majority of other games, indie or not. If you do like these monster designs you should seriously check it out, i'll warn you it's weird as fuck but to me that's only a positive thing. Weird stuff is rarely boring.

It even has proper gameplay too and has genuinely funny comedy, it's the perfect example of came for the monster porn stayed for the plot and holy shit I do not want to lose to 80% of the enemies in Chapter 3 even for research purposes because they go off the fucking deep end...

[sub][sub]Spider Princess, why must you toy with my emotions so much? T_T[/sub][/sub]

 

[Zontar]

Well, I'll certainly be watching this for the plot.

And also the story.

In all seriousness though, I'm looking forward to this. Though how anyone can not see that Centorea is best grill is beyond my comprehension skills.

 

[spartan231490]

"anime" . . . are we sure it's not the other thing?

 

[Risingblade]

I tried reading this, it was pretty stupid even by pervy manga standards.

 

[Arina Love]

Absolutely LOVE Monster Musume manga and if anime done correctly this has a chance to be my AOTY. Very Exited.

BTW Best waifu is obviously Suu.

 

[Foolery]

Nipples. Sexy Monster Nipples. That's the appeal, right? I've never heard of this manga.

 

[freaper]

B-but what? Ehh? Oh well, in a decade where Fifty Shades of Grey can take the (western) world by storm I shouldn't be surprised, plus I don't really mind.

Can we get a Monster Girl Quest anime next?

 

[SweetShark]

Just to confirm the blond one is actually a horse.
Now I will just walk away...

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Please tell me that Centorea is not going to constantly have her nipples bumping through her shirt like that. It's not like that in the manga all the time. It'll be distracting if they choose to keep it that way.

Otherwise, okay, I'm on board. I hope it doesn't suffer the fate of so many other animes where it just kind of goes off and does its own thing and completely loses the original concept, but seeing Papi in anime form is always a win for me.
