Editor's Review
“Frankenstein Family” is an anime series that offers a unique blend of sci-fi and slice-of-life genres. The series revolves around Tanis, the youngest son of two mad scientists. His family has spent their lives withdrawn from normal society living on an isolated island, where the couple conducts experiments on Tanis’ siblings that result in them gaining abnormal abilities. However, this activity is put to a stop when they are caught and arrested. Tanis is brought by government officials to a more populated island, alongside his four siblings: Snow, a dog-human hybrid; Ashise, a plant-human hybrid; Aisley, a spider-human hybrid; and Suishi, a mind-reader. Being the only one who has not been genetically modified, Tanis takes on the responsibility of adapting his siblings to society, all while trying to conceal their distinctive characteristics.
The series is characterized by its well-realized narrative and world. The art is impressive, with the movement of the characters being presented in a way that makes even the most insignificant moment of the series impressive. Each episode presents a new challenge for Tanis, keeping viewers engaged and entertained. The series is also praised for its well-written script.
However, “Frankenstein Family” is not without its flaws. Some viewers may find the series’ pacing to be uneven. Additionally, the series can be a bit rough around the edges, particularly in its early episodes.
Despite these minor shortcomings, “Frankenstein Family” remains a standout series. Its unique premise, engaging characters, and complex plot make it a must-watch for any anime fan. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the genre or a newcomer, “Frankenstein Family” is sure to provide an enjoyable and memorable viewing experience.
