Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department

[Tweekums · 8/10 · 5 April 2022]

We have all seen shows where heroes battle evil villains but few where the protagonists work behind the scenes... in this case those who make the monsters the heroes are destined to defeat. Of course as they work they constantly hope that they will have finally come up with the monster that will win. Our protagonists work for Agastia, one of these evil corporations, to make something to defeat the hero 'Divine Swordsman Blader'. The heroes are the least of their problems; they come up with great ideas but penny pinching and corporate thinking spoil them. This means many of their creations are more likable than evil.

I thought this series was a lot of fun. Our protagonists may work for an 'evil' corporation but nobody involved appears to be genuinely evil... or even particularly unpleasant. There are plenty of battles but these don't take up too much time and are fun rather than intense. These fights scenes are definitely outnumbered by more humorous character led scenes. These characters are entertaining; most obviously the eponymous Miss Toka Kuroitsu. Other leads include Wolf Bete, a wolf man who due to a change of plans ends up in a cute wolf-girl body; and Cannon Thunderbird, a robotic bird-monster that is overdesigned and underperforming. The animation and characters designs are all pretty good. Overall I'd certainly recommend this series to anime fans wanting some light-hearted fun.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

This show will make you root for the bad guys

The show is a Power Rangers satire from the perspective of the people that maske the monsters. The joke is they treat it like a 9 to 5 day job. They work for the evil originization Agastia. Its disguised as a normal conglomerate and then secret entrence to the evil orginization is underground. They constantly send out Monsters but Devine Swordsman Blader always defeats them. The main characters are Ms. Kuroitsu she is pretty normal, she loves monsters very much, and she always gives 110% in every things she does. There is the Doctor he helps actually make them, and there is Wolf. Wolf was originally supposed to be a boy monster but the Great leader changed him last minute so now he is a man stuck in a woman body. They don't have enough money in the budget to change him back to a boy. He helps out in the lab. Md. Kuroitsu freqents this resturnt after work. They guy who works there is secretly Devin Swords man blader and has a crush on Kuroitsu, and Kuroitsu secretly works for Agastia. This show is insanely funny.
