DESCRIPTION

The story takes place in the town of Most City in a certain country. On the second floor of an old building is a publishing company that puts out a periodical called Delusional Monthly Magazine, a science magazine featuring articles about shocking, bizarre events and inexplicable phenomena that make even scientists throw up their hands in defeat. Its staff consists only of a beautiful editor-in-chief and her one editor, Tarou J. Suzuki, who are joined by grade-school-aged assistant Jirou Tanaka and his dog, Saburou. The editorial department is always empty, and Tarou, Jirou, and Saburou are usually hanging out in Rock, a coffee shop on the first floor. One day, the scientist Gorou Satou visits them for a consultation, and therein lies the beginning of an outlandish new story...

REVIEWS

SenNkA
20/100
Kill me. Kill me now. This is suffering. [Spoilers]
Story:
The worst thing about this show is, that is has a story. There used to be a MO Continent, that sunk/disappeared a long time ago. Not many people know about it, and those who know are only scraping for information. The only real proof are MOParts, pieces of metal from MO Continent. Two teams are after them - White Pegasus and a scientist Gorou who has the most annoying catchphrase I have ever heard.
While Gorou goes for help to a group of men/boys publishing science magazine, White Pegasus is a suspicious company, whose director is shady as heck. They fight to get the MOParts and raise the MO Continent... but aren't ready for the twist that will come.

Now I dare you to tell me this isn't interesting! How could this show fuck up so badly...

Animation:
Animation is too good, I'd say. Those talented people really did say "let's animate furries" and put out some great moments.

Art:
I enjoyed the look of MO Continent, I enjoyed the environment, I enjoyed the character design too! I didn't enjoy the transformation aspect and what came with it. That is my preference though, so I will admit, while I think the faces/characters/Motarians didn't look too good to me, they weren't bad at all!

Characters:
Now. This will contain some heavy spoilers. Please stay safe if you haven't seen it / are interested in watching.
From the first episode, I was wondering what was that thing on Tarou's forehead and if it was connected to the auras he could see. I did not find out until now. And when I realized it was a sign that he was a Motarian that everyone had... I was rolling my eyes so hard. Was that supposed to be a big reveal? And if so, why did that stupid SCIENTIST try to transform, when he knew he didn't have that birth mark. My man, after 20 years, I think you'd notice something like that. It's big enough for everyone to see! But to be honest, I liked Tarou the most. His want to marry a girl to not work was hilarious and I wish him luck, but his transformation was godawful. (Better than Prince's...)

Catherine was the biggest surprise to me. At first in a good way. When they showed us her backstory, I was honestly confused who the hell the girl is and if she is the reason Ed is doing what he's doing. She was! And at the end of the episode, when she put her hair out, I gasped. That was so good. I did not expect it!
Ed was another character I enjoyed. While the dumb-twins got on my nerves and made me cringe when they "merged", I found Ed very endearing. He is hot, he is nice, he is a little bit of a simp for Catherine and I want him so badly. Up until the last minute I believed he was the bad guy!

Music:
Everyone loves when the cast goes full out and does the music themselves. In this case it was more ridiculous than anything, but do give the opening and ending a listen, they are awesome.
Opening - I never ever want to hear this stuff. The music haunts me, the rap is making my ears bleed and the way they pushed "OVERSCIENTIFIC" in the opening too is baffling. "noooooo"/10.
Ending - I kind of love this ending?? It's funny, it sounds good and it almost doesn't fit the quality of the anime. "Good job!"/10
Insert song - wait, what? Oh right! The one from the very end. Right! Well this one is good!

Entertainment value:
This was such a huge miss. If things were different, I can see myself enjoying this, but now I don't think I'll be able to ever think of anything good at the mention of this anime.

Conclusion: not recommended ... run run for your life

No, just no. Save yourself the time. It's not worth it. 1/10....yeah, my rating is shit. The real would be 4/10. I can't go any higher!
