Demi-chan wa Kataritai was a hidden gem for me. I wanted to see an anime about science or teachers, or the teacher-student relationship and I came across this anime. I'm not going to lie, before watching this anime I saw some scenes to see if this was not ecchi anime or anime of cute girls doing cute things with fanservice yuri. It didn't look like it and I decided to take a look at it. What I found was what I was looking for: a biology professor who interviews his students to do a thesis on demis (because his students are mythological races). And this teacher had a nice relationship with his students and vice versa, something that is appreciated, currently these programs do not have good character writing and have a script full of clichés and fanservice. Besides that the teachers, Takahashi and Satou, are characters that are quite identifiable in real life, I mean, if you were ever lucky enough to have people like that in your life, you will know what I'm talking about.
His comedy is good, his slice of life was pretty, almost like an iyashikei. It is an anime that you can watch to relax when you are stressed. Its characters are charismatic so you will surely have a favorite at the end of this show. The animation is simple, it is a comedy anime, but in its simplicity it is cute. The design and animation of the characters reminds me a bit of the style of cartoons, I don't know if anyone else thinks the same thing but I felt a certain similarity in some scenes.
As for the story, they are episodic chapters but they are enjoyed. Many of these chapters try to explain this world with demis and also the problems that these characters carry. I feel that the plot of bullying and the differences that exist between humans and demis could have gotten along well without having mythological beings involved, they are problems with which we can feel identified because that happens in our reality unfortunately. These chapters are a reference to the inequalities in our world and I think it is good that they show how teachers and the school itself can solve the problems of their students and of society itself and improve them. Yes, I know I don't seem to have enjoyed the anime because I realize all these things, but actually I really enjoyed it, it is an educational anime in a way and it also tells us a lot about the work of a teacher. One thing I didn't like, or maybe could have been different to enhance the experience of watching this show, was that all the demis were female. There are male students and characters though, so I can't complain.
I think it's a good anime to ponder, but if you want to forget all the messages this anime conveys and enjoy its comedy and cute characters you can do it too, and that's great! It is quite simple but surely you will have a good time. I recommend it to you!
