Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory Review

Mother of the Goddess Dormitory isn’t afraid to remind the viewers almost constantly that you’re watching an ecchi series. Oppai launch at your screen almost every few minutes and pantsu are shown in an array of colors. Mother of the Goddess Dormitory is shameless and that is one reason why it’s comedy works. Watching Koushi—a young boy mind you—deal with college girls taking baths, landing their butts in his face and slamming the boy with oversized oppai is stupid but laughably hilarious. We do wonder if we envy Koushi for having such luck or pity him for said luck…

Are you someone who has a hard time choosing the best waifu from a harem/ecchi series? We don’t blame you, even we busy bees at Honey’s Anime struggle and argue about who is best girl. Mother of the Goddess Dormitory makes this challenge even harder by having so many wonderful waifu that it can be almost impossible to choose just one!

If you’re into a waifu who is caring but cute then you’ll probably fall for Atena Saotome. Do you enjoy your waifu almost always naked with a large chest just waiting to fly at your screen? Then your girl is Mineru Wachi. Mother of the Goddess Dormitory has almost every waifu type and that makes watching it a bit more enjoyable.

When it comes to the romance element of Mother of the Goddess Dormitory we have to say we’re quite disappointed. Early on it becomes clear Atena falls for our young Koushi—which is weird—and Mother of the Goddess Dormitory tries to make it romantic but it never comes across as more than a shallow relationship. Yes, she’s afraid of guys and it’s cute to see their dynamic overcome this fear but we’ve seen that same trope used before and feels almost formulaic at this point. Overall, don’t expect any true romance in Mother of the Goddess Dormitory.

One of the biggest offenses of Mother of the Goddess Dormitory isn’t just the meh romance or the cliché plot but the episode count being only 10. If Mother of the Goddess Dormitory pushed to 13 episodes or even 12, we could see a better story playing out and maybe that romance between Atena and Koushi has some substance but with the short length, the story ends as quickly as it began. Maybe that is a blessing in disguise.

Our last major complaint about Mother of the Goddess Dormitory comes in the most obvious—and never forgettable—concept of this comedy ecchi…our main male character is only 12 years old. The girls of the dorm are all older and yet they constantly strip and tease this 12-year-old like it’s normal. That is weird if we’re being completely honest. Maybe the creator wanted Koushi to be a kid to make the ecchi more comedic and less likely to form into anything serious but we really feel Mother of the Goddess Dormitory suffers from this almost twisted ideology due to the main character being so young.
