Re:Monster


After being stabbed over and over Tomokui Kanata wakes up side by side next to a group of goblin babies. It doesn't take him long to realize he has been reincarnated as a goblin and given the name Gobrou. He learns that goblins grow by evolving. So with the help of of his friend Gobkichi he manages to catch bigger monsters than what would have been possible on his own. He has another secret, and that is his ability to gain the skills of whatever monster he eats from his past life stayed with him. It is only a few days until he is made the leader of the Goblin village. While he has the ability to obtain unlimited strength, will he be able to save everyone?

Re:Monster was very interesting to watch. When I heard that it was about a goblin that gains monsters abilities by eating them I was expecting it to be like Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest. However, it turned out to be more like a mix of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and Redo of Healer. While it never shows anything on the level of Redo of Healer it doesn't hide what Gobrou is doing with the ladies either. In other words you hear the girls moaning, but the scene is blocked as if they are in a private room and all you see is the door. Besides that Gobrou's goal is just to help his friends get stronger. When they successfully do this they make their own Mercenary group called Parabellum. There are some things to be aware of like hot spring scenes in episodes 6 and 11, as well as loose clothing that exposes a lot of skin which isn't uncommon in Isekai anime's. Overall, I thought it was a unique story and worth the watch.
