Moyashimon: Tales of agriculture

First off i had no idea that the manga had gotten an anime series, and it happened quite some time ago too. I followed the manga and found it pretty intersting so imagine my surprise (and delight) when i found out there WAS an anime.


I found the microbes really cute when i first saw them and i think it may be one of the few reasons i actually read the manga or watched the anime. I would put this series down as one of those underrated animes which are quirky yet interesting. 

I liked the story alot, and really who wouldn't? Tadayasu Sawaki is a university freshman at a Tokyo agriculture university who has a rather unqiue ability; to see microscopic organisms with the naked eye that only can be seen through state-of-the-art microscopes.

Although the story may seem rather bland, i can say that it was interesting and quirky enough to keep me watching. It had only 11 episodes which was a complete walk in the park for me, and happily enough there is a second season called Moyashimon returns. 

Plot: Some episodes were albeit boring but the rest were good. 7.5/10

Characters: They were different in their own way, and they were individually developed. 8/10

Graphics: The microbe's design was just extremely cute and it was portrayed in a fun way. 7.5/10

Recommendation: Although it was interesting, some may find it rather boring but hopefully you will try it out before brushing it off. 2/5
