I am not going to claim that I was as interested in this anime series and as satisfied in general at the start of the season as I was at the end of it. Truth be told, I did not think that a lot of ideas which seemed kind of weird and idiotic at first would make a good show, however, later on I found them to be quite good and original. Could you imagine mixing evolutionary principles and science (or why some animals have to be the way they are) with Creationism (because there is still a God behind everything) and setting that in a corporate environment (employees, departments, contracts, meetings...), and it works? For the first few episodes I was just confused by what they were trying to do, it all seemed quite strange to me. However, I gradually started to get more and more into their clever and crazy way of mixing up different ideas. Of course, the educational value of this anime series cannot be overlooked, they introduce animals you may not have heard of and also tell you about the traits and abilities of creatures familiar to you which you may not be aware of. You are very likely going to be finding yourself on Wikipedia checking up on some of that information after the show, and it is likely to stick with you and make you a bit more knowledgeable! Likewise, now you might even know what kind of people to try and find when doing creative work because the show tells you that a diverse team of personalities is really ideal for a successful creative process because everyone brings their own unique perspective and innovations to the table. You can see people you know in the various characters by their opinions and approaches to things. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised at how good the anime series is. The other thing I have to commend is the wide range of creatures the crew here gets to play with. There are real animals, mythical creatures, extinct creatures, and even mascots. Everything is approached scientifically, on the one hand, it is explained why something does or does not work, and on the other hand, there is a mad attitude that not even the craziest idea is completely wrong, and that you can build something upon even the biggest load of crap. This is a cheerful, playful, and original anime series that is also rewarding and cleverly crafted, although it took me a while to get over all the craziness. Accepted! 8/10. (2021.03.25)
