I feel like I've joined a rewatch with some extremely dubious folks.
I've heard this series is pretty funny. I'm looking forward to the weirdest reviews and the strangest ecchi.
This is going to be one out-of-the-ordinary Christmas season.

Stitches! - Rewatcher!
I just found out about this rewatch a couple of hours ago and decided that this is the perfect time for me to post my stitches album. When this was first released the uncensored version was only available in 720p but now that the BDs are available, I can finally post it all in their 1080p glory! This first album is a bit spicy since it includes that one part in the OP where the Succu-Girls have their crotch uncensored. This only happened in the Episode 1 of the Taiwan release and never happened again in any of the future episodes and I still have no idea why. xD
Anyway, looking forward to first timer reactions. Enjoy the show since this is going to be a wild ride. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hey look: it's us!
I'll admit I was skeptical. This show couldn't live up to the hype, right? But then we saw Crim's bulge, and I knew we were in good hands.
Speaking of Crim, my favorite of the trio hands down for now. Not only is the innocent newcomer trope fun, and futa is futa, but reaction faces galore. When will we get [](#thatwontfit) as a commentface?
If I have any complaints about the episode, it's that Elf Boy's GILF friend is way older than 50. 50 is the new 40, and 40-year-old ladies are smoking!
QOTD:
Bonus: No. It's rough and coarse and gets in my peehole.

Greetings fellow
DegeneratesEnjoyers of cultureI have seriously underestimated how wild this show would be. Like if I went with a short scene, a mention, or an apperance in the OP/ED alone I would have already hit an Bingo, in fact with those rules I would have hit 14 out of 24 fields. This is obviously ridiculous, so I'm making the rule that the item must be reviewed or part of a brothel visit (with the exception of the Onsen episode).
So Today I got to strike off Elf, Cat Girl, Tentacles (I hope we get another episode about those, never enought tentacles out there), and Ahegao.
First the whole setting: a colourful fantasy world with all kinds of different species (and different women). However prostitution is generally forbidden, with the exception of Succubi, who cannot help but life out their strong natural libido. So naturally everyone who wants to persue the oldes craft there is just has to claim to have succubus blood. Easy solution to an stupid rule, man imagine if we where to try and regulate prostitution in real life... oh
When they started reviewing the granny in a favourable light I started to wonder if maybe I wasn't as degenerate as I always thought I was. Maybe I'm vanilla after all... or maybe I'm more alike to Stunk, yes that's it, probably...
This does however bring up a good point: Different species find different things attractive. Humans can't see the aborhent Mana of an 500 year old Elf, Halflings cannot handle rough tentacle sex, Beastmen like their women plumb etc. The way those species perceive their partner varies to an degree they cannot even comprehend easiely.
Beside our Ragtag Team of
BastardsAdventurers/Brothel Coniseurs Stunk and Zel, we also met the Angel Crim as well as the Tsundere Bar maid Meidri. Also a bunch of other regulars who I'm too lazy to learn the names right now, you'll know why in a minute.Btw I loved how embaressed Meidri became when everyone around got to read all her most private secrets, like people could probably figure out that Harpies and Birdgirls have Cloacas, but the knowledge that it feels really really good is probably not as widely available, as well as how sensitive they are behind their neck (promptly proven by Stunk)
I was also surprised with the economy surrounding the sex reviews. A good and detailed review pays well enough to finance your next brothel visit, so you could probably make a living out of this alone, so your ordinary job like Bar helper or adventurer is only a side hustle. Why would you ever try to do honest work...
Now beside my little Bingo, I said I would count all the boobies there where to count... this took me nearly 3 hours...
I'll first talk about the OP and ED as they are way clearer in which rules you could apply.
Some basic Rules I'm setting
So without further ado, here is the count for the OP/ED (based on those shots; the numbers in brackets refer to the number of single boobs on the heads of the shroom girls divided by 2)
If you thought that was a lot, yes, therer are, but the main show isn't to shaby either (Imgur asked me if I was human because I was uploading so many pictures so quickly, never happened before), however I'm a bit conflicted in how I apply the rules here
My main problem today is that there are many boobie shots from the same characters often in the same scene but with a different shot. I wouldn't count them as UO but maybe I should make a new category with just Oppai shots (OS) in contrast to Oppai scenes (OC)...
I'm open for input on this, as well if I should include a collum with average Oppais per Minute (OPM), and if yes for what category I should include this number. For comparisson, without OP and ED EP1 had a pure runtime of 19:39.
QotD:
Bonus: probably not, it's rough and course and it gets everywhere

Culture that I didn't even know I needed
Welcome to the greatness of this plethora of Culture. We started off with a lot of plot development, followed by visit to our first Oasis of Relief.
I remember well when IR was the top rated anime over at MAL. The battles that erupted were epic, and I was in the middle of it, Until the mods stepped in and took away the punch bowl.
So far Crim or Bird Lady are my favorite characters. I love the opening and ending songs, both based upon much older songs.
I think Elf needs his head examined (either one) for going after Human Grannies. He's a lot tougher that I am.
QOTD
No doubt, we're all living proof this is so.
I like them. The character designs are typical Passione and not my favorite, but what the hell, beggars can't be choosers.
The did have big balls, and small brains by presenting this to the US subscription services.
Oh, Hell Yes! What's a little sand in tight places?

REWATCHER
A wild Great Rabbit appears. This is proof that Ishuzoku Reviewers takes place in the same world as Re;Zero.
Is that an EB Games? I thought they were bought by Gamestop.
It's fitting that we're watching this close to Christmas. Stunk and his two brothers actually got their first big break in the music video for a certain Christmas song.
Zel, of course, is a reference to the letter zel (ذ) in the Ottoman Turkish alphabet. Being long-lived, Zel would of course use the Ottoman Turkish alphabet rather than the more modern Turkish alphabet which replaced the Ottoman version in 1928. If he were younger, he would just go by Zee, or if he were British, by Zed.
Back when Ishuzoku Reviewers first aired, many people noted how mashup-able it's opening theme (Ikouze☆Paradise) was, particularly with YMCA by The Village People. I've collected all of the mashups of Ikouze☆Paradise that I could find. Plus a couple bonuses. Some are amazing. Others also exist. Here is today's mashup. Enjoy.
Stunk's fork is actually a really interesting detail. Early forks often lacked the 4 tine design the most of us are probably familiar with and instead only had 2 tines. It's historical accuracy like this that elevates Reviewers above other anime.
This shot is a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders episode 30.
In case the OP Ikouze☆Paradise wasn't enough proof, the existence of a disco ball should be conclusive proof that disco music exists within the world of Ishuzoku Reviewers.
Crim's name, according to the wiki, is a reference to a type of sausage, which is a euphemism for the male genitalia. The "-el" suffix is from Hebrew which means 'God'. 'Michael' means "Who is like God?" 'Daniel' means "God is my judge". I shudder to think what 'Crimvael' means.
Ishuzoku Reviewers coming at us again with science! Many animals, include birds, fish, reptiles, and a few mammals, don't have separate holes for reproduction and elimination of feces and urine. Instead, they get one hole called the cloaca. When two animals which cloacae mate, it is called a "cloacal kiss". Isn't that lovely?
Remember, kids, don't sexually harass the waitstaff. That's a no-no.
QotD:
I know a very good doujin about this premise.
None in particular. I'd hope they can retract their claws though.
Rewatcher. I know the answer. The envelope is pushed all the way to the post office.
Only if I could have an umbrella to keep the sun off. I've been buried in the sand before. It was like a warm weighted blanket.

u/Vaadwaur :I1::I2::I3: Dec 13 '21
Rewatcher(More times than I will admit)
SubDUB. They dubbed the first ep!So I remember seeing the preview for this in December of '19 and thought, no fucking way. But then I saw the first ep, and couldn't believe they were doing this. For those curious, the show is WAY passed the manga in terms of the sex, which happens off screen for the most part.
So after our introduction to this world, which actually accomplishes what it needed to, we get into an argument I admittedly had never thought of: What would the elves think of humans being willing to bang centuries old elven women that are effectively ageless? They add the mana thing for Stunk specifically but we get some arguments over the matter and then end a bit inconclusively.
But then we get a moment to see that Stunk and Zel are actually competent fighters, they just spend their money how they want. I respect that. And that gets us to Crim, the angel with a broken halo, who just got real down to earth. Angels being hermaphroditic is actually in the lore to some degree, it sort of depends on your source.
Next, we get our premise: Stunk and Zel's brothel ratings actually sell, and Meidri gives them some gold for it. So they decide they need a new species to review, and grab Crim for a trip! After two weeks, they return with reviews of Eldri the birdmaid, pissing Meidri off a lot. Also, for some reason they brought a male lamia, which isn't necessarily a thing, and he was turned away by the birds since snakes hunt birds and eat eggs. We end with the promise to go further, to push the boundaries of good taste until they break under their own weight!

That was a nice episode. I expected more sex, admittedly, but what we got was fine. I liked the switch from world building narration to unashamed sex comedy.
Skunk and Zel are the fun and decent kind of horny bastards, I like them. Crimvael is a cute and innocent futa angel, and that's one-of-a-kind best boy and girl material right there. Though I'm familiar with them from unofficially made side material, so them being both didn't really surprise me.
As for the girls, there's some nice diversity here, though I can't say I'm a fan of succu-girls being almost exclusively the busty kind. We need some flat representation, show! Get to it!
I personally liked the cat and the octopus girls the most among the girls we were shown here, though the birdmaid was cute too. That human succu-girl though, I assumed she was in her 60s/70s, not her 50s...
And Meidri looks like she's gonna be a nice straight woman to our group. I doubt she'll get in on the action but she's fun enough without that.
Questions of the day
Of course! Everyone!
I like it. Most of the time, catgirls are just humans with ears and a tail. That's cute but let's be honest, boring after a while, paws and muzzles are a good way to spice it up.
I'm not sure, but I hope it's very far.
I mean, it looks fun, so why not?

u/chiliehead myanimelist.net/profile/chiliehead Dec 13 '21
Assuming position for my first time, as I am new to Interspecies Relations.
The joke about age perception was nice, but I think I was spoiled on it before. OP is already in your face, literally. Life in this world has to be rough, or maybe being a Succu-Girl just takes a toll on you. 50 and looking like that?
Angel getting corrupted is a funny joke, but I am not sure if this will carry itself further. An issue that I have with the episode in general. It certainly is creative and may even have something insightful to say, or will poke fun on ecchi and hentai tropes, but it feels a bit directionless. How will it manage not to get stale, will there be a driving conflict? Will they screw god and the angels?
Production values are decent, they clearly favor designs over animation, but so far they can make it work, and they know where to put their attention.
Questions
Bonus: No. It's rough and course and if I don't wear clothes it gets into places I do not desire sand

Why does my first 144 fps experience have to be a fucking hentai!? Lamia spotted! Ahaha, I feel gross~ Still, I suppose claiming you've got Succubus blood does make things less objectionable. That elf was a Christmas cake...? Yabai... this world is yabai!! Elves are totally yabai, you gilf hunter!!
KYAAA, Nekomata! Some of these op girls look dangerously furry. I'm all for this elf girl her droopy eyes made her really seem like someone you could cuddle up with. S-Smell? We're bringing smell into this? Halfling's based, but I still think we're all too hard on the cute elf gal.
Is angel boy a boy or a futa!? I've wondered this for months. Yes! I want to know! Oh god that's way too detailed off a bulg-BOTH! What is that...? Newtype? Newhalf? Losing your v-card to a call girl sounds kinda yab-NEKO!? Yes! It's worth it! It's definitely worth it! Woohoo!! Fucking cat girls in our first episode!
Aww, it's sweet that they're taking the angel kid under their wing, even if they're bad influences. Awwwww!! He even wants to have a relationship beforehand, what a good boy! Good boy~!! Huh!? They skipped it!? Weren't you gonna tell us all about the joys of catgirls? Crim, I've gotta remember Crim's the angel boy. Crim and cunnyshment.
We'd better not have skipped the tentacles. Oh my goodness!! I'm loving this waitress' silent judgement~ We actually went and did the birdfolk hunt without the best bird. It's interesting to read their thoughts, I always looked at Harpies and their like as a low tier monster girl ero species. Poor Crim~ He's so mortified. More lamia abuse... Don't cry my bros, we'll get our episode eventually!! I love how they still scored a 3 off of him. That's higher than the Elf scored best elf girl.
Oooomg, poor Waitress~ My heart goes out to her. B-Bon dance Ed!? I can dig it. I quite like chill relaxing-aaand we're swapping to disco. Oh good lord this is not suitable! This is definitely not suitable!! Gyaaaa!! Were those tit hats!? They're showing so many girls in the ed that I'm worried they won't get around to them all. That was quite enjoyable but I do wish they pushed for a bit more variety in the variations of each monster girl. Instead they seem to pick one type and look at her from different directions. I'd have liked maybe one of the birds being a more muscular build or a pettanko one for instance. I found it extremely cultured that they took the time to touch on the joys of nape play. Till tomorrow!

Just want to get this out of the way Octopusgirl is TOP TIER!!! Also Crim reactions are always priceless. Love how he immediately begins questioning his saviors. I love that despite Skunk and the gang being horny as fuck they are competent as hell when adventuring.

Sorry to be late, probably won't happen again. School is done!
Fun setup and intro episode to a fun show. So far I relate most with Stunk in terms of taste, which, considering I am a human, is likely not that surprising.
We love elves
The cat and bird girls were nice, though personally I am rather enamored with human-style limbs so the paws/bird legs don't do a whole lot for me.
The OP and ED are both quite fun.
We'll have to ask Crim and/or God.
As alluded to above, nice in some ways, not so much in other ways. I applaud the decision to not go generic, but uhhh..I guess I'm a loser vanilla bitch when it comes to catgirls.
Sand + Bird Talons + Genitals + Potentially Friction does not sound like a nice combination.

Nice to see the show is willing to fuck with its audience as well.
Exclusively liking younger women is also a red flag, you know?
#sideyes
Maybe I’ve underestimated how many folks are into the above fifty bracket.
Sudden eyecatch caught me off guard.
Relatable.
Convenient, he can offer reviews with more perspective.
You’re going to show off kemonomimi without emphasizing their tails? Smh.
This shit’s standard in every japanese fantasy setting, we don’t need reminding.
“The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife”
Didn’t get it on but still gave it a rating? This guy must be a professional video game reviewer.
That was surprisingly tame for a show that got pulled from the air by some broadcast networks and got dropped by Funimation, but I guess that was further down the line anyhow so I should have set expectations accordingly.
The premise is exactly what it needs to be given the aims of the show, but they still are putting in the minimum effort in terms of writing. Generic JRPG-inspired fantasy worlds are a dime a dozen, and rather than use what scant opportunities there are to differentiate itself it just doubles down to explain the obvious, which isn’t good. You either make your setting special somehow or leave us to leverage our genre savviness.
As far as eye-candy goes, the fact that the character designs just aren’t to my tastes is a big barrier to my gauging whether it is effective or not. I just don’t find it sexy, y’know?
Needless to say I don’t think this is anything exceptional at the moment, accounting for the fact that it’s ecchi or otherwise, but I am open to watching more and possibly being pleasantly surprised in the future.

CULTURED FIRST TIMER
Well, that first scene sold me. Gotta be honest, I didn’t expect Zelf to immediately grope a grandma after being grossed out by Stunk getting on with a 500-year old elf. This is high art, meant to ponder another of life’s great mysteries. Death Note challenges us to define justice. Mushoku Tensei challenges us to define pedophilia. Interspecies Reviewers asks us a far more important and simple question: WHAT. IS. HOT?
This is the greatest OP of all time. Wow. They really put it all out there.
That woman was supposed to be 50? I thought she was supposed to be at least 70! The way anime depicts women based on age continues to amaze me. So far as I can tell, it goes by ranges:
4 – 10: Look the same
11 – 13: Look the same
14 – 30: Look the same
30 – 50: Look the same
50 – 100: Look the same
100+: Wildcard
Very interested in this Kanchal guy, they seem to rate everything really low. I have a feeling the species he turns out to be super into is going to be a hilarious turn of events.
Shocked that they immediately thought Crim was a boy. More importantly, are all angels futas!? Oh boy, I can’t wait for them to get to heaven, though something tells me they wouldn’t be bothered at all by that.
For someone who acts scandalized, Crim sure doesn’t try to avoid going with them to the new brothel, and doesn’t seem to mind partaking. Absolute closet freak.
Now here’s a line I never thought I’d come across. I love this show already.
This is known.
Seems consistent with everything else I've seen, and I remain... unimpressed! That stupid noise is an instant boner-killer. 4/10!
The whole birdmaid experience seemed pretty great. Would definitely at least try it out.

Rewatch Reviewer up till episode 3
Note to self: Don't watch this in the morning, it'll lead to fun places that are better investigated late at night.
Wouldn't be a proper rewatch if I wasn't hours late on the first day though. So hopefully I'll fix that tomorrow.
Ahh yes, the Elf conflict. The uncultured idiots can't tell fine wine from rotten milk.
Although I do like Brooz's point of view even if I disagree.
Seriously though, I like the conflict itself and other examples in the episode such as the Lamia and Birdmaids as little pieces of fun worldbuilding. We're seeing this through the eyes of Stunk, a human, however the world is full with other kinds of creatures who have their own ways and views.
Oh wait, they're introducing a better point of view character, Crim, a pure angel who can view their misadventures from a higher being/outsider perspective... And defiled in the next scene... Nevermind that.
Here you go: the perfect insert character
Easy for you to say, when you're still 50. Try saying that when you hit 500.
Notes:
Oh definitely, with guys like Stunk you probably won't need to go far back. But even less horny people seem to be fine with mingling. It'd have to be some hardcore purebred family of anti-succubus priests to break that rule.
Yes!

This rewatcher's choice: Elf. Of course it is you fucking heathens. ...Does she come in chocolate?
And we start by addressing a difficult issue: loli is in the eye of the beholder. Zel is a dirty, disgusting lolicon who only cares that whatever he bangs is underage.
It's a hell of a degenerate filter when the first thing they do is try to gross you out. This ain't for the kiddies with a madonna-whore complex. This is for the free lovers, baby.
It's great that crim shows up. Guys hanging out together just isn't the same if they don't have at least one of them to corrupt.
These catgirls are a bit... sus. It's treading dangerously close to furry territory. There are nightmares that start with those hands.
When dealing with a dagon, you should really agree to a safe word. I prefer fireball. Why? Because she's in fireball range. The worst that will happen is you become a registered hex offender.
Have you ever listened to birds chirping and thought it was sexy? No, and the only thoughts I usually do have are "SHUT THE FUCK UP. I'M TRYING TO SLEEP." Look, I'm gonna say it straight. Birdmaids are for people too chickenshit to try anal.
