For a long time, monster girls were only really popular in doujinshi, with the occasional official manga or anime featuring a few lamia or harpy character designs, but nothing too significant. Thankfully, in the 2010s, the success of a few doujinshi, such as Monster Musume, saw a rise in popularity and interest in monster girls. While it never quite reached the heights of the isekai genre, monster girls are looking to be a mainstay of the medium for the foreseeable future.
Updated January 12, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Monster girls anime are not especially common, but the theme does occasionally get some attention. Although the isekai genre is known to introduce a few cat girls, these characters tend to be minor figures in the story. Consequently, if someone is looking for a story that is specifically about monster girls, these anime are prime picks.
Interspecies Reviewers has not been included for, well, obvious reasons. Still, if someone is craving an adult spin on the monster girls theme, this show is a prime candidate.

Seton Academy: Join the Pack!
Japanese Title Murenase! Seton Gakuen Release Date January 7, 2020 Studio Studio Gokumi Genres Comedy Number of Episodes 12 Based On Web Manga Creator Bungo Yamashita Streaming Service(s) Crunchyroll
If there was one word to describe Seton Academy Join the Pack, it would have to be “absurdist.” The show’s premise is an animal trivia-based comedy that applies real animal traits to monster girl versions of the animal in a world where very little makes sense, but at the same time, it does make sense. If that sounds confusing, that may be the point, as the main characters, Hino Hitomi and Mazama Jin, also struggle with this as one of the few humans at Seton Academy trying to navigate this chaotic world.
Fans of well-made comedy anime are likely going to enjoy Seton Academy Join the Pack. Much of the comedy is based on real-world facts about animals, and if a viewer understands them, it is likely to be funnier. Even if a viewer doesn’t understand the joke, the show very often explains the reasoning behind it, which can remove some of the humor at times. Fortunately, outside the comedy, the show does offer very appealing character designs and a unique world that is sure to capture the interest of fans looking for a unique “absurdist” comedy.

A Centaur’s Life
Japanese Title Centaur no Nayami Release Date July 9, 2017 Studio Haoliners Animation League Genres Fantasy , Slice of Life Number of Episodes 12 Based On Manga Creator Kei Murayama Streaming Service(s) Crunchyroll
If anime fans were looking for a “cute girls doing cute things” show but with a monster girl twist — look no further than A Centaur’s Life. As the second monster girl anime to air in 2017, many fans had high hopes for the show, given the praise the manga had been receiving at the time and the fact that it was also a slice-of-life show.

The story follows Himeno, a centaur girl, and her daily life in a world where supernatural creatures of all kinds are commonplace. There isn’t much of a plot to speak of here, which may be disappointing to some as the adaption has omitted important plot threads from the manga, such as a focus on racism and the history of the world. However, what the anime does adapt is a good watch and well worth anyone’s time looking to get their fill on slice-of-life and/or monster girl anime.
5 Monster Girl Doctor
MyAnimeList: 6.53
Monster Girl Doctor
Japanese Title Monster Musume no Oishasan Release Date July 12, 2020 Studio Arvo Animation Genres Comedy , Fantasy , Romance Number of Episodes 12 Based On Light Novel Creator Yoshino Origuchi Streaming Service(s) Crunchyroll
While slice-of-life has been the predominant genre to mix with monster girls up until 2020, Monster Girl Doctor looked to add a bit more to the formula. The result was still a fairly casual viewing experience however the story this time around had a bit more substance, more in-depth backstories for the characters, and a greater sense of presentation and scope for the world the characters inhabit. Said story follows a human doctor specializing in monster biology named Glenn Litbeit and his lamia assistant Saphentite Neikes as they run a small clinic aiding monster girls regardless of any affliction or injury.
The show does a great job of illustrating how unique the world is and how the characters have adjusted to the changes it has experienced. While most of this is told in the form of flashbacks, it is the driving force for the plot and gives each character a purpose for their role in the story. The character designs in the show are also some of the best any monster girl anime has to offer and will be a highlight to anyone who already has or will watch this show.
4 Dropkick On My Devil!
MyAnimeList: 7.04 (Season 1)
Dropkick on my Devil!
Japanese Title Jashin-chan Dropkick Release Date July 10, 2018 Studio Nomad Genres Comedy Number of Episodes 36 Based On Manga Creator Yukiwo Streaming Service(s) Amazon Prime Video , Crunchyroll
A slapstick-heavy comedy, Dropkick on My Devil! is an acquired taste since so much of the humor revolves around one character going full Tom & Jerry on somebody else. The quintessential goth girl, Yurine summons Jashin-chan, an arrogant demon who very much has no intention of remaining on Earth. As the only way to head back to Hell is to kill Yurine, Jashin-chan sets out to eliminate the human; unfortunately, she is completely outmatched and regularly finds herself on the receiving end of a beating. Sure, the demon is essentially immortal, but nobody enjoys having their tail chopped into little pieces.
Dropkick on My Devil! largely consists of skits revolving around Jashin’s disastrous attempts to get the jump on Yurine, and while these segments can get repetitive, they are entertaining in a ghoulish type of way. The sequel seasons are more well-rounded as they shine more of a spotlight on the supporting characters, which include a plethora of demon monster girls.

Interviews with Monster Girls
Japanese Title Demi-chan wa Kataritai Release Date January 8, 2017 Studio A-1 Pictures Genres Comedy , Fantasy Number of Episodes 12 Based On Manga Creator Petos Streaming Service(s) Crunchyroll
2017 started strong for fans of monster girls as the winter season provided Interviews with Monster Girls. While fans noted the “monster girl” designs weren’t as exotic as those found in Monster Musume or Monster Girl Doctor, the appeal was still prevalent enough to have many excited about the show’s premiere.

At first glance, the title may be a bit deceiving because the story isn’t a documentary but instead focuses on biology teacher Tetsuo Takahashi’s daily life in trying to better understand the “Demi’s” that attend Shibasaki High School. Once again, there isn’t a major overarching plot, but instead, a more episodic and character-driven story. Those looking for another slice-of-life anime with a monster girl twist will not be disappointed here, and the beautiful animation makes the show all the more enjoyable.
2 Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls
MyAnimeList: 6.95
Monster Musume: Everyday Life With Monster Girls
Japanese Title Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou Release Date July 8, 2015 Studio Lerche Genres Comedy , Fantasy , Harem Number of Episodes 12 Based On Manga Creator Okayado
Monster Musume follows Kurusu Kimihito, whose life becomes increasingly more chaotic and crazy as a new monster girl enters his life at a seemingly daily rate in hopes of marrying him. The premise itself isn’t all that unique, especially in anime, but what carries this show are the character designs, comedy, and presentation. While some will be put off by the ecchi hijinks, there is a lot more to the show than just that. The show very tastefully tackles subjects about racism, prejudice, and alienation, all while keeping a healthy balance of light-hearted fun and serious moments.
If one had to pinpoint a specific series that was responsible for the surge in popularity the monster girl genre experienced, it would without a doubt be because of Monster Musume. Before Monster Musume aired, there was no real example in anime of a series featuring humanoid creatures/animal designs to this degree and achieving the same amount of success. Despite this success and popularity, it was truly a shame the series never got a second season, but the manga is still ongoing and continues to be quite popular, giving many fans hope that there may eventually be a follow-up one day.

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
Japanese Title Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon Release Date January 12, 2017 Studio Kyoto Animation Genres Comedy , Slice of Life , Supernatural Number of Episodes 25 Based On Manga Creator Coolkyousinnjya Streaming Service(s) Crunchyroll
Before monster girl anime would start featuring a plethora of unique supernatural character designs, most would stick to one or two creature/animal designs and have that be the focus. A good example of this is Miss Kobyashi’s Dragon Maid, which, as the title implies, is focused on humanoid dragons. Airing in arguably the year of the monster girls, 2017, the story follows the stoic Kobayashi whose world is forever changed after an energetic dragon named Tooru suddenly becomes her maid after Kobayashi saves Tooru’s life.

Some highlights include characters such as everyone’s favorite “dead-pan loli” Kanna, the calm and cool Fafnir, and the beautifully animated sequences when viewers are given glimpses into the dragon’s home realm. From top to bottom, the series is great, and anyone who is a fan of monster girls will no doubt want to experience this series and its sequel season.
