Audience Consensus
The audience is largely disappointed with Re:Monster, citing a promising start that quickly devolves into a generic and morally questionable isekai harem. Reviewers criticize the poor animation, weak plot, and unlikeable characters, particularly the overpowered protagonist and the handling of sensitive themes. While some find it entertaining on a superficial level, the majority express strong dissatisfaction and advise against watching it.
Strengths
- Interesting premise in the first few episodes
- Entertaining despite its flaws for some viewers
- Unique concept of reincarnation into a monster with absorption abilities
Weaknesses
- Significant drop in quality after the initial episodes
- Overpowered main character leading to boring and predictable fights
- Poor animation quality and uninspired art style
- Harem elements feel forced, misogynistic, and detract from the plot
- Main character's actions are morally questionable, including instances of rape, which are not properly addressed
- Weak plot development with no clear story or antagonist
- Characters are bland, lack individuality, and undergo frequent changes in appearance and name
- Over-sexualization feels gratuitous and unnecessary
