Succubus, Dullahan and Vampire. They are known as Ajin, or "demi"s and are slightly different than the
average human. They have lived alongside humans for ages under persecution. However, in recent years,
they have become accepted as members of society. This story follows a high school biology teacher who
has a great interest in demis and his interaction with the various demis in his school, each with
their own cute problems.
img220(http://jetblack.thebebop.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/106271.jpg) This was a sleeper hit for me, as _Demi-chan wa Kataritai_ was a word-of-mouth recommendation from a friend who had already seen the first episode. Somehow, in my preparation for the winter anime season, I missed this one, instead casting my attention more toward the more prominent series such as [_Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 2_](https://anilist.co/anime/21699/KonoSubarashiiSekainiShukufukuwo2), [_Masamune-kun no Revenge_](https://anilist.co/anime/21857/MasamunekunnoRevenge), and (the [previously-reviewed](https://anilist.co/review/anime/2235)) [_Kobayashi-san Chi no Meidoragon_](https://anilist.co/anime/21776/KobayashisanChinoMaidragon). I can't lie and say that I didn't begin watching this series without some set of expectations. I will fully admit to having watched a fair portion of [_Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou_](https://anilist.co/anime/21093/MonsterMusumenoIruNichijou), and concurrent to this series, _Meidoragon_. My experience with Monster Musume was limited to the notion of monster girls being used as the basis for a super-ecchi comedy and that was the extent of my informed prejudgment of how _Demi-chan_ might progress. I was horribly mistaken. _Demi-chan_ turned out to be a warm-hearted and easy-going story, spending a lot more time on the development of the insecurities of the demihumans trying their best to make a life for themselves in a rather insular society such as Japan's. All throughout their lives, they faced varying degrees of prejudicial treatment, and when they arrive at Shibasaki High, Tetsuo-sensei's reaction is quite different. It's pretty obvious that Tetsuo is standing in for the "everyman" premise, being kind-hearted, thoughtful, considerate, and respectfully curious about who they are. In expanding his own personal understanding of the nature of being a demihuman, he begins to try to help them feel more comfortable at school in order to provide them with the best avenue of success; an ideal we'd wish for any teacher entrusted with that level of responsibility. The knuckleball pitch in the dirt is when one of the other teachers, Satou-sensei, is introduced as a demihuman herself. She's a succubus who goes out of her way to reduce contact with anyone who might find her attractive. Satou-sensei borrows Yankumi's tracksuit from [_Gokusen_](https://anilist.co/anime/242/Gokusen) in order to dress down her appearance and remain as low-key as possible. Tetsuo notices this and does his best to appear unaffected by her nature, but as it so happens in anime, incidental contact carries meaning. A brief touch of the hands, or even bumping into her in the hallways made for some very subtle and understated comedy between the two. Satou believes that she may have found the only man who's completely unaffected by her pheromones, except as soon as she's out of sight, he shows that he is utterly affected. The manner in which this was played out in the episodes really elevated the level of storytelling being employed here. My favorite characters out of the group were Kyoko (Dullahan) and Satou-sensei. Both exhibited a deeper dynamic to their characters, where as the others were more caricature than character. Kyoko's depth came in her maturity over the others, and to a certain extent that appeared to be Satou's strengths as well. I found that my favorite episodes of the series resulted in a better understanding of those characters specifically, although I didn't hate the other two and enjoyed knowing more, it's just that I clearly favored Kyoko and Satou's stories more. Especially when we find out about Satou's past and her involvement with the police detectives assigned to her case to ensure her integration into society. Tetsuo's curiosity about Satou leads her to believe that his interest is not purely academic, and given his (apparent) propensity involving her nature, she sees him as a viable candidate as a future romantic partner. As stated earlier, there's comedy to be had there, but I felt that Tetsuo's obliviousness contributed to the proceedings. This factors in greatly in enjoyment of the overall series, especially the recent summer episode broadcast at the end of June. Technically, I have no complaints about the animation style. After reading some of the manga published by Kodansha, the anime did its level best to approximate the art style depicted there. The story itself allowed a non-reader to access the plot and the characters easily, and as they developed in each episode, those identifying with Tetsuo-sensei will begin to feel an emotional attachment to the demihumans and the obstacles they face. Every time I turn around, there's a new TrySail track that I must acquire. [_High School Fleet_](https://anilist.co/anime/21316/HighSchoolFleet) turned me into a fan of TrySail's, so I was enthused to hear them singing the opening theme, "Original." Unfortunately, I wasn't as big of a fan of the ending theme, "Fairytale" by Sangatsu no Phantasia, mostly because I felt that the composition was pretty pedestrian as far as themes go, but ultimately you're not watching an anime for the theme songs, right? On the other hand, Masaru Yokoyama brought his A-game with the background music, however, and if you haven't had a chance to listen to the soundtrack, you can pick it up at Amazon or CD Japan pretty easily. In the end, _Demi-chan_ turned out to be a solid series with emotional depth and a feel-good atmosphere. If you're not a fan of the "monster girls" sub-genre, then I'd recommend you skip it because the premise requires a buy-in that may not be available for full enjoyment. I'll be checking out a second season, if the rumors are true (as of this writing). Hopefully we'll have some good news for Demi-chan fans in October!
Ever since MonMusu, the anime community's obsession with monster girls has been near rampant. The sheer insanity of the now-trope generated quite a significant amount of popularity and cash, and additions to the "genre" were sure to follow. That's where we get Demi-chan from, an adaptation of a manga produced on the wave of post-MonMusu (manga) popularity. Thankfully, Demi-chan is a far more reserved and character-focused show than its contemporary, and it helps round out the selection of CGCS offerings for this season. I'll juts get it out of the way now and say that the audio/visual qualities of the show are very typical for the genre: over-abundant focus on character design, very little character motion outside of reaction faces, cutesy art for figure sales, and generic relaxed/happy music. An aesthetic masterpiece Demi-chan is not, but that's not why you'd ever watch this show. Demi-chan chooses to focus on the high-school life of 3 demihuman girls and their biology teacher Takahashi, who is interested in demihumans as a research subject. A naturally caring person, Takahashi helps these girls with their both simultaneously normal, relatable, yet supernatural problems while also interviewing them for the purposes of his own biological study. Another teacher, a demihuman herself, enters the fold as well, providing a much needed and appropriate romantic interest for Takahashi as well as an adult foil for the 3 demihuman girls to rely on. The "demi" portions of the characters are far more muted than something like MonMusu, with the cast consisting of a vampire, dullahan, snow-woman, and succubus instead of the... more monstrous ones you might have been expecting. The biggest thing that I can nail on this show is that it's incredibly predictable. It uses its more muted themes of "being different" to convey lessons about growing up, fitting in, self-esteem, etc... It's about exactly what you'd expect from the first couple minutes amidst the typical anime high-school tropes like a teacher-crush and a few other hanging-ons. However, what you might not expect is just how genuine these themes come across, and how the show can hit pretty hard with both the feel-goods and the feels when it wants to. This is due in part to just how geniuine the characters come across on-screen, and you'll really come to empathize with them over time even if you might be able to call out the actual "plot" a few minutes in to the episode. Demi-chan is much more about the characters and their feelings than the ride they may take to get there. If you like to sit back and relax with one of these cutesy feel-good shows, Demi-chan should be right up your alley. Despite not being anything really new or aesthetically great, it's employed pretty damn well. Fans of the genre will feel right at home, whereas fans of the "genre" might want to check r/hentai instead.
Relationships are beautiful, especially when it can be with people who are half human, half demi. Interviews with Monster Girls take into account Slice of Life and Deep topics at the same time;and if A-1 can do something right, it’s this. The story mostly happens at school where the events unfold. Our main character, Takahashi sensei, has a slight curiosity to those named demi’s. It’s known to them later on that Demi’s exist in their school, the first one known I believe was Satou sensei, a succubus who tries to avoid crowds for the sake of her, and for the sake of them. Succubus do not live a normal life, even though we usually just see them as some sort of sexual character. I mean, it’s not wrong, but after the way Satou lives, I see Succubus as something else, one of the most difficult things to live as. It’s sad to live as a Succubus, since it may be hard to love someone when you have everyone attracted to you sexually. It then begins to take a difficult turn on your life and it affects you in a way that you become isolated from everyone and avoid people. But that’s why we have our main character. Takahashi has to deal with many demi’s. The Fun Vampire Hikari The Loving Machi The Lonely but not so lonely after a while Yuki The beautiful Satou With Takahashi, developing a relationship with them could prove challenging, but totally worth it in the end. It wasn't hard to befriend Hikari due to her fun and outgoing personality. After that, it connects to Machi and then to Yuki and so on. It becomes a chain. Takahashi wanted to help any problems they may have, so he researched quite often on each Demi one at a time. To see what they like, don't like, and so on. Once the demi’s see this in him, trust begins to be build in such a way where there’s almost an unbreakable trust. You see, I notice that some may view their relationship as odd, and I see where they’re coming from. It can be viewed as weird or uncommon. But when someone truly shows that they care about someone when they aren't usually wanted (because of their characteristics), then of course a strong bond will be created. In this case, Takahashi and his students. He shows genuine love and cares about their well-being and will do anything in his power to make sure they live a happy life where they can live without any worries. With that in mind, I can overlook the relationship that they have. I do seem to enjoy series where humans coexist with those that aren't too fully human. But seeing how the demi’s are enjoying the human life very greatly, we can basically they're living a human life. But of course in Machi’s case, it can be hard XD. But Slice of Life isn't all there, the interactions with the characters can be in a way deep and explores further into the problems and they work together to figure it out. In a way, it can represent modern day discrimination;where certain groups of people are treated unfairly because of who they are. In this case, Yuki. Before she became a bright girl, she seemed to be unsocial and someone who avoids people. The reason for this may be because of the power she wields. But of course, Hikari breaks through that barrier like nobody’s business. She loves Yuki and therefore goes after her. When Takahashi was able to become friends with the demi’s, the world becomes more colourful with a beautiful and stable relationship. Speaking of colours, the schemes used in the anime give it more shine. Seeing how broken some of the characters are, it’s really amazing what Takahashi sensei can do as a teacher, and a father figure. The journey they had together was splendid and the way they care for each other and supports one another, it’s a relationship that we don't see everyday. The OP and ED are amazing with its catchy song and the way the happiness within the demi’s are represented and portrayed to the viewers is awesome. It brings me full joy and I always had a smile each episode and a ton of laughs. Overall the enjoyment was phenomenal. The feelings, the relationships, and the characters. All are good points and it’s definitely one of my favourite of Winter. Although underrated, it’s a solid series in my book.
This show attracted me with the cute designs and amazing opening, but it's also the most relatable show I've seen to date. As a black male, I understand how characters like hikari and her friends get judged for rumors and stereotypes of their backgrounds. No one wants to be lumped into a category, but people do it all the time. Instead of seeing the girl's quirks as their flaws or parts of their nature, some people teased and bullied them like it was their right to do so. The girls aren't these evil creatures some of their classmates or society say they are, but no one besides a certain sensei tries to understand them. It was a cool way of showing off that no one is so different you can't understand them.You just have to make an effort to see people for who they really are.Normally I feel when most shows attempt to do this, both sides try to beat the other into seeing their views. Luckily, some characters didn't care what others think because they already are comfortable with who they are. I really enjoyed how each episode focused on how every monster has to find a way to blend into society meanwhile trying to overlook what the rumors say about them. The rumors people have about vampires is half accurate, they know stuff about them yet never asked or cared for the reason behind it.I like how the show played with the folklore for each monster and made it an half truth or silly rumor, such as how vampires hate garlic. Hikari loves garlic but she just has a more sensitive sense of smell and taste compared to regular people. Keep in mind, after years of persecution , society was forced to accept "demis". So there's a lot of hostility behind it and you could say there's so little demis living in society contributes to the discrimination. Most humans especially in high school aren't used to dealing with them,so they resort to treating them differently.You can't go from viewing a whole species as an enemy to people just like you because a law tells you to do so. Some characters in the show don't even hide their anmiosty towards the demis, all because a demi in their past set a standard for them. It's a good commentary on how people will use previous interactions to handle future interactions. I love a good slice of life, but the school setting is overdone and annoying. However, this school struck the right balance of slice of life and comedy. You aren't always watching cute girls study or deal with boys hitting on them. You are watching someone's life unfold bit by bit and deal with a situation they never asked to be in, yet have to deal with. I really liked the Dullahan's story, I can't imagine the burden of being a creature most people are afraid because of a folklore. She tries her best to blend it, but life is hard for her because she literally has the weight of her head on her shoulders.
[ENG] Prejudice, social segregation, discrimination ... these terrible words have always been part of our vocabulary since the beginning of humanity, but how to elaborate such a delicate subject? Recently I was watching Demi-chan wa Kataritai, or Interviews with Monster Girls, created by Petosu and produced by A1-Pictures studios, and I ended up coming across a speech so powerful that it took me completely by surprise, which was the following: “It is not how you were born that makes you who you are, but how you decide to live with what you are. However, we also cannot ignore someone's ‘Demi’ nature, because they face obstacles that we never imagined. You cannot look at everything from one side, it has to be both, if you see only the ‘Demi’ nature, you will lose the individuality, and if you only see the human nature, you will not understand the difficulties that they go through all days. Both are precious, the important thing is the balance between the two.” Interviews with Monster Girls, takes place in a universe where there are people with special characteristics that we only hear about in fairy tales, the so-called Demi-Humans, or simply “Demis”, and how slowly their being accepted into society and even if the focus isn't to bring a deep discussion to such a delicate subject, it manages to explore it in a subtle and impressive way, especially when it shows in greater depth how each of the characters sees their ‘Demi’ side: - Sakie Satou, who is a Succubus, so with a simple touch she can cause excitement and desire in the opposite sex, requiring her to dress in countless layers of clothing to avoid causing a big commotion; - Hikari Takanashi, who is a vampire, where she can get in contact with the Sun and even eat garlic, but she is much more sensitive to heat and hot days than anyone else; - Kyouko Machi, who is a Dullahan, so her head was born disconnected from the rest of her body, needing to carry with her arms everywhere; - And Yuki Kusakabe, who is a snow woman, where her body temperature is so low that in times of stress she can exhale a lot cooler air and even cry frozen tears; The way that each of the girls reacts with their own peculiarities, especially how the people around them try to live with them, is something very human and real, some try to treat them normally, others want to be polite and don't want to offend them, and even gossip and bullying are present for them to overcome. Perhaps it is indeed a complicated subject, or perhaps it is simpler than we imagine, perhaps this issue will be resolved in the coming years, or perhaps it will continue to live until the end of our existence...there will still be many doubts and questions, however, instead of isolating ourselves and not talking about it, how about we get together and try to find a solution together? Bellow there is a video link, entitled “Equal and Different”, which better analyzes the Anime and its premise as a whole, making this review even more accurate (Please turn on the English Sub for it). [PT-BR] Preconceito, segregação social, discriminação...essas terríveis palavras sempre fizeram parte do nosso vocabulário desde os primórdios da humanidade, mas como elaborar um assunto tão delicado? Recentemente eu estava assistindo Demi-chan wa Kataritai, ou Interviews with Monster Girls, obra de Petosu ペトス e produzida pelos estúdios A1-Pictures, e acabei dando de cara com uma fala tão poderosa que me pegou completamente de surpresa, que foi a seguinte: “Não é como você nasceu que faz quem você é, mas como decide viver com o que você é. Porém, nós também não podemos ignorar a natureza demi de alguém, porque eles enfrentam obstáculos que nós nunca imaginamos. Você não pode olhar tudo por um único lado, tem que ser os dois, se você ver apenas a natureza demi, você vai perder a individualidade, e se você só ver a natureza humana, você não vai entender as dificuldades que eles passam todos os dias. Ambos são preciosos, o importante é o equilíbrio entre os dois.” Interviews with Monster Girls se passa em um universo onde existem pessoas com características especiais que só ouvimos falar em contos de fadas, os chamados Demi-Humanos, ou simplesmente Demis, e como lentamente estão sendo aceitos na sociedade e, mesmo que o foco não é trazer uma discussão profunda para um assunto tão delicado, a obra consegue explorar isso de maneira sutil e impressionante, em especial quando mostra mais a fundo como cada uma das personagens encara o seu lado Demi: - Sakie Satou, que é uma Succubus, onde com um simples toque pode causar excitação e desejo no sexo oposto, sendo necessário que ela se vista com inúmeras camadas de roupas para evitar que cause uma grande comoção; - Hikari Takanashi, que é uma vampira, onde ela consegue entrar em contato com o Sol e até comer alho, porém é bem mais sensível ao calor e dias quentes do que qualquer outra pessoa; - Kyouko Machi, que é uma Dullahan, onde a sua cabeça nasceu desconectada com o resto de seu corpo, precisando carregá-la com seus braços para todos os lugares; - E Yuki Kusakabe, que é uma Snow Woman, onde sua temperatura corporal é tão baixa que em momentos de stress pode exalar um ar bem mais frio e até mesmo chorar lágrimas congeladas; A maneira que cada uma das meninas reage com as suas próprias peculiaridades, principalmente como as pessoas ao redor tentam conviver com elas, é algo bem humano e real, alguns tentam tratá-las normalmente, outros querem ser educados e não querem ofendê-las, e até mesmo as fofocas e bullying estão presentes para elas superarem. Talvez de fato seja um assunto complicado, ou talvez seja mais simples do que nós imaginamos, talvez essa questão se resolva nos próximos anos, ou talvez ela continue vivendo até o fim de nossa existência...ainda vão existir muitas dúvidas e questionamentos, porém, ao invés de nos isolarmos e não falar sobre isso, que tal nos unirmos e tentarmos encontrar uma solução juntos? Segue o link do vídeo, intitulado de “Iguais e Diferentes”, que analisa melhor a obra e sua premissa como um todo, tornando essa review ainda mais precisa.

~~~Demi-chan wa Kataritai was a hidden gem for me. I wanted to see an anime about science or teachers, or the teacher-student relationship and I came across this anime. I'm not going to lie, before watching this anime I saw some scenes to see if this was not ecchi anime or anime of cute girls doing cute things with fanservice yuri. It didn't look like it and I decided to take a look at it. What I found was what I was looking for: a biology professor who interviews his students to do a thesis on _demis_ (because his students are mythological races). And this teacher had a nice relationship with his students and vice versa, something that is appreciated, currently these programs do not have good character writing and have a script full of clichés and fanservice. Besides that the teachers, Takahashi and Satou, are characters that are quite identifiable in real life, I mean, if you were ever lucky enough to have people like that in your life, you will know what I'm talking about. His comedy is good, his slice of life was pretty, almost like an iyashikei. It is an anime that you can watch to relax when you are stressed. Its characters are charismatic so you will surely have a favorite at the end of this show. The animation is simple, it is a comedy anime, but in its simplicity it is cute. The design and animation of the characters reminds me a bit of the style of cartoons, I don't know if anyone else thinks the same thing but I felt a certain similarity in some scenes. As for the story, they are episodic chapters but they are enjoyed. Many of these chapters try to explain this world with _demis_ and also the problems that these characters carry. I feel that the plot of bullying and the differences that exist between humans and _demis_ could have gotten along well without having mythological beings involved, they are problems with which we can feel identified because that happens in our reality unfortunately. These chapters are a reference to the inequalities in our world and I think it is good that they show how teachers and the school itself can solve the problems of their students and of society itself and improve them. Yes, I know I don't seem to have enjoyed the anime because I realize all these things, but actually I really enjoyed it, it is an educational anime in a way and it also tells us a lot about the work of a teacher. One thing I didn't like, or maybe could have been different to enhance the experience of watching this show, was that all the _demis_ were female. There are male students and characters though, so I can't complain. img220(https://randomc.net/image/Demi-chan%20wa%20Kataritai/Demi-chan%20wa%20Kataritai%20-%2011%20-%20Large%2009.jpg) I think it's a good anime to ponder, but if you want to forget all the messages this anime conveys and enjoy its comedy and cute characters you can do it too, and that's great! It is quite simple but surely you will have a good time. I recommend it to you! ~~~
~~~img420(https://i.imgur.com/8I5RleN.png)~~~ Demi-chan wa Kataritai ( Interviews with Monster girl ) is an anime released in winter of 2017. An anime released by A-1 pictures With the genres of comedy, slice of life and supernatural. Demi-chan wa Kataritai is the 9th most popular anime in winter 2017 and the 8th most highest rated in winter 2017. To be honest, i used a [random anime generator](https://www.randomanime.org/) and chose a random anime from my anilist planning list and Demi-chan wa Kataritai was the anime it chose. I genuinely looked forward to watching it as it was about monster girls. ~~~img420(https://i.imgur.com/GvSrmLS.png)~~~ ## __[ Story ]__ This story follows 4 female Demi-humans ( Demis ) and one male protagonist Tatsuo Takahashi which I feel that he is the most main character. Takahashi is a biology teacher who comes across 4 demis. As much as he wanted to interview for his research, he later finds out about the problems they face or they may face. So he takes charge of counselling them and to provide them support they need. Because of that the 3 student demis became best friends and the succubus teacher who tries to avoid interaction with Takahashi became friendly with the bunch as well. The demi students who tried to avoid interaction with the norm broke out of their shell and became friends with a lively bunch of humans as well. But I feel some spices were missing such as a good plot twist near the end. All the major plot twists were solved by Takahashi at the beginning and it was a smooth sail from then and it didn’t feel good. ~~~__Story 80/100__~~~ ## __[ Characters ]__ As mentioned before, this anime wraps around 5 main characters. ## Tetsuo Takahashi: He is the main protagonist in my opinion. He's a biology teacher at a school who wished to learn more about Demis. Lucky for him, at the start of new year 4 demi students joined the school as well as a demi teacher. This was a huge jackpot to him. He started hanging out with them and asking questions to each of them purely out of curiosity. However later he finds out about their struggles and he starts to help them personally. To be honest when I made my first impression on this anime I thought it's going to be an anime with a harem of an old teacher and students but it turns out that he is just a normal teacher who turned out to be super cool. Although some demis had crushes on him it did not go beyond that. ~~~img120(https://i.imgur.com/9Quw14J.png)~~~ ## Hikari Takanashi: Hikari turns out to be a vampire, but the impression of a classic vampire and Hikari is totally different. As a vampire one of her weaknesses is the sun, but it's not like she sleeps at day time like a classical vampire. As the summer heat tends to wear her down, Hikari hangs out in Takahashi’s office where its air conditioned. She gets blood to drink from the government. Hakaris character can be described as clingy and very joyful. ~~~img120(https://i.imgur.com/K7O964M.png)~~~ ## Kyouko Machi: Machi is a dullahan. A dullahan is a fairy tale character in which their head is separated from their neck. Most fairy tales describe them as knights in shining armor . Unfortunately there are only 3 dullahans left in the world. Machi had an insecurity with others as her head was separated, but Takahashi helped her to get over it. She also had a crush on Takahashi but it did not extend further than that. Having a crush on a hot teacher in high school is i think pretty normal for some people but i never saw anyone like that. However they did go on a date but for Takahashi it was an experiment. Hikari was the mastermind of the date. ~~~img120(https://i.imgur.com/RDNo3eB.png)~~~ ## Yuki Kusakabe: Yuki is a snowwoman. She had a serious social issue as she was too self conscious of being a snow woman, she had the horror idea of freezing others around her, so she kept her distance. One day he overhears some students gossiping about her in the bathroom. This caused her very much pain but Takahasi solved her problem and she became friends with everyone. ~~~img120(https://i.imgur.com/J4DugGA.png)~~~ ## Sakie Satou: Satou is a succubus. If you don't know what a succubus is, then you're missing out. I feel for you. As a succubus Satou restricts herself from contacting the other gender. When a male touches he has a eromatic feeling for her. To avoid such situations she takes the first train and the last from work to home. She lives in a jungle out of people. One day she accidentally touches Takahashi and her aphrodisiac did not work on him. At Least that’s what she thought. She eventually got a crush on him and went her way out to get him. ~~~__Characters 100/100__~~~ ~~~img220(https://i.imgur.com/S3m5eAu.png)~~~ ## __[ Visuals ]__ The anime had great visual quality in my opinion. There were nice scenes in the anime like the starting is super nice. A-1 pictures achieved to show different emotions in different scenes with the power of visuals. In general i don’t have a bad opinion about the visuals. ~~~__Visuals 100/100__~~~ ~~~img420(https://i.imgur.com/GlVJN0P.gif)~~~ ## __[ Audio ]__ It had a nice op and ending songs. The characters had kawai voices that fit them perfectly. ~~~__Audio 100/100__~~~ ## __[ Enjoyment ]__ Demi-chan wa Kataritai has a bunch of funny moments. As a slice of life, it showed us the life of a High school. The way that comedy was mixed with the daily life situation is super hilarious. There were moments I burst out of laughter. ~~~__Enjoyment 100/100__~~~ ~~~img420(https://i.imgur.com/6XLNDez.gif)~~~ ## __[ Overall ]__ This is a great anime. I really recommend Demi-chan wa Kataritai to new anime watchers. This anime is a good mixture of sad and happy and comedy moments.its well balanced and i think that's the best type to watch when you start out. ~~~img420(https://i.imgur.com/My1oka6.gif)~~~
_A time when demi-humans have slowly begun to be accepted into human society but remain rare, and
most humans have little knowledge about them. High school biology teacher Tetsuo discovers he has
three demi students, along with a new demi coworker, and hopes to learn more about their lives._
This short (12 episodes + an OVA) series was really fun and enjoyable! The idea is that many
mythological beings are actually demi-humans–born to humans (all the demi characters have human
parents, and the vampire actually has a human twin) and generally embodying only _some_ of the aspects
ascribed to their mythology. For example, the snow woman (_yuki-onna,_ a Japanese legend) can chill
the air around her when experiencing negative emotions, cries ice and is very susceptible to heat, but
can’t hurt people or freeze them.
A large part–but not all–of the series is focused on Tetsuo interviewing (formally and informally) the
girls, and thus the viewer gets to see the difference between “real” demis and their legends. Hikari
the vampire–my favorite character–is cheerful and enthusiastic, drinks blood from packets
occasionally, and is sensitive to the heat, but doesn’t need to attack people, isn’t repelled by
garlic, and doesn’t turn into a bat. She does, sometimes, have “itchy teeth” and just needs to nom on
things without breaking the skin–usually her human twin sister, as seen below.
