The anime "Interspecies Reviewers," scheduled to begin airing in winter 2020, is based on a webcomic serialized in "Dora Dora Sharp#" on Nico Nico Seiga. Naturally, the title of the series features many different species, but the story might not be clear from the title alone. So, let me give you a brief synopsis and character introduction.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 1: What kind of world is this?
A world where various races coexist. In addition to humans, various races, including elves, halflings, demons, slimes, salamanders, fairies, and beastmen, live there, transcending racial boundaries. What does the sheer number of different races mean? It means that each race utilizes their unique characteristics and adapts to their society. In other words, there are as many "erotic establishments" (i.e., brothels) as there are races!
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis Part 2: Men Who Make Visiting Erotica Shops Their Life's Purpose
They love those erotic establishments. There are men who make visiting brothels their life's work! Leading the pack are human adventurer Stank and elf adventurer Zel. These two men are like bundles of sexual desire, willing to endure even the harshest adventures, even through fire and water, for the sake of erotic pleasure. They visit brothels of all races to find every kind of pleasure.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 3: Do Races Have Diverse Preferences?
Adventurer Stank's favorite race is the elf, a race whose appearance remains constant even as they age, and whose undeniable beauty is undeniable. However, the elf Zel's favorite was humans in their 50s. From a human perspective, this would be completely impossible, but from an elven perspective, older elves' magical power and vitality would certainly deteriorate, making it completely unthinkable. Humans in their 50s are overflowing with vitality, and to elves, they are the best prostitutes. In this way, preferences vary greatly depending on the race.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis ④: Creating a Gross Review of Interspecies Customs
Not satisfied with Zel's sensibilities, Stank enlists the help of Kanchar the halfling and Blues the beastman, creating a review similar to the popular section of a major gaming magazine, where each person scores out of 10. As a result, the elves are unpopular with the other races, and Stank is dissatisfied. It turns out that sensibilities and cultures differ depending on the race.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis ⑤: The Night's Gross Review is a Huge Hit
Stank and his friends continue posting reviews on the bar's bulletin board, saying, "We've Visited Brothels of Various Races." Their credibility is recognized, and they become popular, receiving a fair amount of reward money. With that reward money in hand, Stank and his friends continue to tour brothels. The term "cross review" is not used in the story. A closer look reveals the term "gross review." This may be unrelated, but cross-reviewing is a registered trademark, so even if it was published by KADOKAWA, it may not have been permitted.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 6: The Pure Angel Crimvael Becomes a Companion
Originally an angel living in heaven, Crimvael damaged his angel halo, the source of his power, and was unable to return to heaven. Furthermore, he was attacked by a vicious monster and in a desperate situation. He was rescued by a pair of perverted adventurers: Stank and Zel. Crimvael is saved just in time, but unable to use her powers, she decides to make a heroine move by asking Stank and Zell to accompany her for a while.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 7: Crimvael is Actually Both Sexes
Stank and Zell, who rescued Crimvael, suspected him to be a woman based on his appearance. In fact, Crimvael was androgynous, both male and female, and both male and female in heart. However, upon learning that Stank and Zell are sex-obsessed sex workers, she feels unsafe and decides to pass herself off as a man in front of them.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 8: A Pure Angel Defiled in a Single Panel
Having decided to pass herself off as a man, Stank and Zell offer to treat Crimvale to a treat. Naturally, it's an erotic restaurant. Blushing, Crimvale tries to refuse, but she gives in and finally takes the first step toward adulthood. In just one frame, the pure angel Crimvael becomes a corrupted angel. What's more, he even ends up frequenting a brothel of his own accord.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 9: Sexual Harassment of Maidry, a Waitress at Shokushu-tei
And so, with the angel Crimvael on board as a reviewer, he visits brothels every day, writes reviews, earns rewards, and continues to frequent brothels. However, he occasionally plays serious adventurer at the bar "Shokushutei," where Stank and his friends base themselves, and he also sexually harasses the winged waitress, Maidly.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 10: Nearly ruining his life by frequenting brothels...
He visits erotic establishments, writes reviews, and uses the rewards to visit more erotic establishments. His reviews are well-received, and he's established a system that allows him to earn money without doing anything, but he gets carried away and loses all his money. With no other choice, Stank and his friends conquer dungeons and defeat numerous monsters, achieving remarkable feats as adventurers, but that's another story.
Interspecies Reviewers Synopsis 11: Their Days of Visiting Brothels Continue
Despite all that, these perverts continue to visit brothels and write reviews. They can't quite find the perfect establishment, but they still spend all their money. It's their life's work. Also, although it's not discussed in great detail, they seem to be doing a decent job as adventurers.
Summary of [Interspecies Reviewers]
Interspecies Reviewers is a story about a group of different species visiting and reviewing erotic establishments in a parallel world. Since it's a webcomic aimed at boys, it cuts out some of the more obscene content. Therefore, a comedy about monster girls seems like a perfect fit. It starts airing this winter, so be sure to check it out!
