"Interspecies Reviewers" is an anime adaptation of a unique story about a group of men who spend their lives exploring brothels in a world where all sorts of races coexist. I'd like to introduce Zel, an elf adventurer who is one of the characters in Interspecies Reviewers and the lead author and publisher of Night Cross Review.
Before introducing Zel, let's take a look at what Interspecies Reviewers is all about.
To put it simply, Interspecies Reviewers is a crossover between monster girls, erotic shops, and Fate/stay night cross reviews. This work follows a group of reviewers from various races who love brothels and visit various erotic establishments and write reviews. It's a comedy that evaluates them from the perspective of various races. Since it's a webcomic aimed at boys, there's almost no offensive content, so rest assured.
Loves brothels! The adventurer "Zell" is an elf!
Zell, whose life's purpose is to visit brothels of various races, is a familiar fantasy elf. He has pointy ears, a long lifespan, and an image of being weak. Originally appearing in Germanic and Norse mythology, elves are typically depicted as beautiful, youthful creatures with powerful magical powers, living in forests and nature. It's fair to say that the elves in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" pioneered the modern fantasy elf genre.
Zell, Publisher of the Gross Reviews of Interracial Brothels
Partnered with the human adventurer Stank, she visits various brothels every day and is responsible for publishing the Night Gross Reviews, reviewing the interracial brothels from various perspectives. As an elf, she has a long lifespan and looks youthful, but at 200 years old, she's the oldest of Stank and the other sex industry reviewers, making her the publisher of Gloss Review.
This is... that credible review of a low-rated work...
This review format seems familiar, but it's definitely based on the popular "Cross Review" section of Famitsu, published by Gz Brain, one of Japan's most well-known gaming magazines. However, in the game, it's called "GLOSSREVIEW" instead of "CROSSREVIEW." The name "Cross Review" is a registered trademark, so using it without permission might be inappropriate. Since this work is published by KADOKAWA, I think permission is probably okay.
I'll use the money I earn from reviews to go to the next brothel...
These reviews are extremely helpful and well-received because they are honestly evaluated from the perspectives of various races. I receive a fee for publishing these reviews. However, like Stank, Zel is a useless adult who spends all his money on brothels, so all of the publishing fee will be spent on a new brothel.
The Elf Representative "Zel" is actually a skilled adventurer!?
Though Zell seems like the epitome of a bad adult who loves the sex industry, he does appear to be quite skilled as a professional adventurer. He teams up with Stank and easily defeats powerful monsters. When he's on the verge of ruining his life in the sex industry, he's forced to work hard as a professional adventurer. He conquers and defeats numerous dungeons, achieving many great feats, but these are not particularly depicted in the story because they don't fit the plot.
Elf Reviewer Zell's Recommended Sex Workers #1: Humans
To elves, humans possess a far greater innate vitality than most, so even a woman who may seem like a changeling to a human is the best. For elves, vitality and magical power are apparently more important than appearance, so even a sex worker who seems worthless to a human might be to the liking of an elf from a different culture. Conversely, elves who are older than their mothers are apparently a no-no, no matter how young they look.
Are elves the only ones who appreciate humans?
From a human perspective, a woman in her 50s who looks old is like a fake. But to elves, who value inner vitality over appearance, she's the perfect prostitute. That's why Zel gave her a score of 9 out of 10. While this seems impossible from a human perspective, the reception from other races was mixed, with some giving her high marks and others low marks. Even the human Stank gave her a score of 2 out of 10. It's a different culture.
Elf Reviewer "Zell"'s Recommended Sex Worker #2: "Winged Man"
The winged man, with wings on his back and spurs on his feet, is a highly praised sex worker not only by Stank, the human representative, but also by Zell, the elf representative. Above all, her sensitive skin and erotic voice are the best, and they seem to have struck a chord with both Stank and Zell, who are somewhat sadistic. However, since she is generally a masochist, she is recommended for individuals who enjoy taking the lead. Zell gave her a score of 9 out of 10. Also, snakes are not allowed inside.
Meidli, the poster girl of Shokushutei, is also a winged person.
Meidli, the poster girl of Shokushutei, the bar that serves as Zell's base, is also a winged person. She is sexually harassed by Stank and his friends day and night, and retaliates by using a chair. Despite this, Meidli still cares about Stank and his friends.
Elf Representative Reviewer "Zell"'s Recommended Sex Worker: "Aquarium Harem"
This brothel has a surprising concept: possessing male shrimp and shellfish kept in an aquarium and enjoying mating with the females. While it's a concept that leaves you wondering who benefits, the possessed male's aesthetic sense is surprisingly similar to that of the possessed male, so it's a relief. Zell possesses shrimp that have a short mating time. Because mating is so short, he is quickly satisfied, but he seems to like the high performance of being able to possess another shrimp and continue to have sex with them. I'm giving it a score of 9 out of 10.
[Interspecies Reviewers] Elf Representative Zel Summary
This work combines a tour of interspecies customs in another world with a cross-review. Since it's a serialized webcomic aimed at boys, it skips over all the outrageous tropes and is a fun comedy show featuring different cultures and their diverse tastes and opinions. It's more of a cross-cultural comedy than an erotic piece, so it's easy to enjoy. The Interspecies Reviewers anime will begin airing in winter 2020!
