S-Rank Monster no "Behemoth" dakedo, Neko to Machigawarete Elf Musume no Pet toshite Kurashitemasu

Just so i make it all that much clear, this high score is meant for the material used,not for the studio and the animation. I am this lenient because ecchi anime seem to be an incredible rarity at this point, actually good and uncensored even more so.That being said the fanservice in this anime is light, way lighter then what you are lead to believe at the very least. And it all happens in the bath really, you don't get any "accidents" with the monsters in the dungeon.Already that settles a certain level of seriousness ,and the fact that there is a time for everything. Honestlythe only part of the story that's relatively fresh is the reincarnation as a monster,while that's not good news, the characters presented, at least the main cast as you'd call it, do have their own roles,and aren't complete cardboard cutouts. So all in all, the story is a decent one all facts considered. The naming convention is pretty basic , and so are most abilities i guess... But i honestly can't be certain if it's really the material when it comes to how the abilities look or the animation. Now ,the elephant in the room,and something i'd otherwise given at best a 3 . The animation. Simply put, horrendous. I honestly doubt they didn't have the budget for at least 1 decent fight in the entire show. Unless they had a gum and 5 bucks as their budget,wich i somehow doubt. Or maybe it's the fact it might simply be a promotional series to bring attention to the manga. But im quite certain it's also low effort,regardless of budget. It feels that way really. Same frames used multiple times, even the one in the ending is a frame they used previously. I honestly don't understand why'd you pick up a story no matter how basic and how much slop it throws your way and present it with this half-baked low-effort animation,at that point just don't do it. Im quite certain the scores would rise all around the board for most anime like these if they'd at least have a semi-decent animation. And the CGI... Jesus Christ it's the first time i've seen some that nasty. It's like they settled on the raw generated model and gave it 0 polish. And after this assault on the eyes(because the voice actors in anime honestly have never been subpar,and that really annoys me even more about the animation),who's eager to continue the story.... And since i got beef at this point with the people who animated this ,so i paid good atention to it,i've also noticed that the nipples and the areolas are literally copy-pasted on all the girls.So even the light ecchi they show is low-effort. It's crazy how much they didn't care. And the comparisons to My Life as Inukai-san's Dog while valid, this show isn't really as morbid because of the setting. Since it's a fantasy world,Stella and Vulcan aren't that out of line . There's no excuse for Aria though.She's a deviant through and through. If you are intrested in the premise though, you have a better chance enjoying the manga then this thing.

So, Beheneko is definitely an ecchi show—let’s not pretend it’s not. There’s no shortage of fanservice, and the anime knows exactly what it is. But honestly? There’s a lot more going on here than just boobs and jiggle physics. At its core, this is a fantasy-adventure series with a fun, chaotic energy, and once you get past the wild premise (yes, the elf-girl wants to f*** the S-ranked monster cat), you’ll find a really entertaining story underneath. The fights are solid, the characters have personality, and the pacing keeps things moving. The world-building is a bit vague at times—you’re not getting deep lore dumps or intricatepolitical systems—but there’s just enough detail to keep you intrigued. I kept wanting to know more about the past war and this mysterious 'Grand Mage'. I genuinely don’t get why this show is ranked so low. Sure, it leans into the ecchi angle hard, but it also delivers a good time from start to finish. It’s dumb fun, but it’s good dumb fun. If you’re into fantasy anime with some fun adventures, chaotic fantasy worlds and a generous serving of ecchi, this one’s a blast to watch.

BeheNeko - Even a cat can't escape the "How is this NOT a Hentai" premise in a reincarnation story, Isekai or otherwise. I'm just going to ask a very simple question: Does anyone remember Inu ni Nattara Suki na Hito ni Hirowareta a.k.a My Life as Inukai-san's Dog? That was a show where through a pseudo-reincarnation stage, the MC suddenly finds himself turned into a dog and then is swarmed with the girl that he had a crush on and fell hard for, and the other girls fall even harder for him. That was 2 years ago in Winter 2023, and yet another Winter season hascome, and we get exactly that same premise once again, but this time in a stereotypical sword and sorcery, adventure fantasy comedy from novelist Nozomi Ginyoku, who (I'm going to assume) pioneered this kind of raunchy "it's not Hentai levels of ecchi" kind of story that is the literate definition of "getting into the MC's pants (or fur, rather)". It just is a show made for degenerates, by degenerates, and it SUCKS ASS. As Isekai connoisseurs, we all know that if given the chance for a second re-do at life, the temptation to plunge to become the desired senses of our dreams becomes second to none. And yet, this is the case for a random knight being KIA and coming back to life as a behemoth a.k.a cat beast, said to be one of the greatest monsters. Of course, with reincarnation as the theme itself, said cat doesn't start off strong and has to work his way to gaining even more powers to become the OP version of himself, typical average to decent stuff. And it's when his life as an ordinary cat is in danger that he meets the girl that would save (and thus) change his life for the better: the elf girl of Aria, walking in the footsteps of her idol, Alisha the Sword Saint, wanting to be just like her and become strong so that she can protect the people that she loves. That's where the good part stops, unfortunately, because everything else is just straight-up ass levels of butt-crack and over-the-top cringe. Obviously, having a familiar like Tama is great and all, but when your literate character exists to have the Elemental cat himself fit snugly between your big and voluptuous boobs, to the point where he struggles quite a bit when the proportions are off the charts, that's a problem. For one, take the guild receptionist of the town that Aria resides in: when he's named after one of the most iconic people in the world for inspiration, but made to be a sissy by wearing only suspenders that make him look sexy with a 6-pack body, he's one reason why the show just loves to embody the degenerate side, and it's self-aware enough to be unashamed at it, and it shows (which I'm actually fine about it, though your tolerance level may vary). Even the female creature characters that come after, like the tiger-eared blacksmith of Vulcan, the dragon girl of Stella (whose thirst levels for Tama are out of this world), as well as the dryad Feri and fairy Lily (who, pardon them for being innocent kids in a pool of sexualized adults), the formula just goes from bad to worse. The cardinal sin of having almost 2/3rds of the show showcasing the group having baths every so often just for Tama to resist his manhood showcasing through his fur while getting boob-attacked by (mainly) Aria and Stella so often, I can't imagine how much Tama would've sacrificed his life just to be in a pseudo-Inukai world where the girls all thirst over him and grope each other, only to get disgusted by it which slowly breaks his sanity. All he wants is a life to work for the good, and yet, these pretty ladies give him a run for their money, not just with his legit OP skills, but for being love-struck like a typical harem. And if you think that the story itself holds up, I'm sorry, but you're just wasting time watching a story that is the low-ball of generic Isekai reincarnation-ish stories with nothing new to offer and only serving to gratify the overly sexual innuendos plastered all around the show itself. The production isn't anything noteworthy either. Studio Zero-G may have both this show and Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san. a.k.a Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! to tackle with for this season, but once you get through the 1st 3 episodes or so, it's obscenely clear which show got the better priority and adaptation that it deserves. So much so that the studio has to hand it over to the smaller studio of Saber Works (formerly Digital Network Animation, which worked with Zero-G for Fall 2023's Konyaku Haki sareta Reijou wo Hirotta Ore ga, Ikenai Koto wo Oshiekomu a.k.a I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness) to assist in giving the show the bare-bones treatment that is truly and literally mediocre at best. Yes, the show could've been produced better, but for what it is, the degrading animation unintentionally gives the show a worse outlook on offer, uncensored or otherwise. Music is 110% forgettable, not worth any smudge of listening to. Though I'll give props to Nonoka Obuchi for creating a happy-go-lucky OP song that at least fits the show's narrative, Poka Poka Ion's ED is too lazy, slow, and uninspiring to ever make a dent in helping the show with its memorability. Sorry HIDIVE, you've goofed on licensing both shows for your audience of degenerates that got a "so bad, it's good" reputation. At least Inukai knows its levels of outlandish degeneracy to try and commit outrageous situations in the name of borderline Hentai (which is why the show itself is a love-hate guilty pleasure). But as for S-Rank BeheNeko, I'd suggest that you're better off trying to watch fap material with Inukai instead, as even with its fantasy element (which is its only saving grace), it's just not enough to entice the Average Joe to give this the 3-episode rule. Enough is enough with these boring, borderline sexual stuff. It's either you embrace it wholeheartedly and daringly...or just don't try at all.

As an ecchi anime fan, Beheneko caught my eye when it was announced. The promise of charming girls paired with a medieval epic infused with J.R.R. Tolkien-esque flair had me hooked from the start. I pictured a world of grand battles, deep lore, and playful fan service—everything I crave in a series like this. When 2025 rolled in, Beheneko arrived, and I was ready to dive in. Is it bad? Not quite. Is it good? I wouldn’t say that either. It’s like rooting for a sports team tipped to win the championship, only to see them fizzle out in the playoffs. The potential was there—Aria’s quest,Tama’s mysterious power, a kingdom teetering on ruin—but it never ignited. The narrative stumbled, feeling flat and uninspired. By episode 5, I could’ve walked away without a second thought. The characters intrigued me at first. Aria’s determination and the quirky harem had charm, while the world hinted at a rich history of ancient relics and shadowy foes. Yet, the storytelling failed to capitalize on this foundation. It dragged, lacking the excitement to pull me in, leaving epic battles—like the demon lord clash in the finale—as rare bursts in a sea of mediocrity. The fan service? Average at best. There were moments—Tama’s transformations, a few playful scenes—but nothing memorable or applause-worthy. For an ecchi fan, it barely scratched the itch. It pains me to say Beheneko is an anime that “could have been.” It’s not terrible, but it fades into the attic of forgettable series, lost among countless others that never rose above the crowd. The finale was decent, yet it couldn’t salvage the unfulfilled promise.
