Murenase! Seton Gakuen

Seton Academy is a place attended by a plethora of interesting and diverse animal species. Jin Mazama is one of the few humans there, who also happens to vehemently hate animals from the bottom of his heart! One day, he stumbles upon the rowdy and assertive girl Ranka Ookami, a small "lone wolf" without a pack, who has not a single friend.

The desperate Ranka tries to invite Jin into joining her pack; Jin, who hates animals, naturally refuses. Amid this situation, Jin meets Hitomi Hino, a fellow human, and promptly becomes infatuated with her. After getting to know each other, the two decide to create a cooking club, and after a few bad-blooded misunderstandings, Ranka soon joins the club as well.

Thus begins the howl-some and howl-arious story of two normal humans; an adorable wolf; a cheerful koala; a sluggish, blonde sloth; and a feline with cattitude in their newfound club—in a story that teaches that friendship can be forged by creatures of different kinds.

Murenase! Seton Gakuen (aka My Gym Partner Is A Wolf) is a story about Mazama Jin who used to go to a human school where everyone was the same. Now he goes to an animal school because Lyon’s his last name.

The story takes place at Seton Academy where a wide variety of (anthropomorphic) animals attend.
Jin is one of the only two humans, the other being a girl Hitomi.

Jin encounters a lone wolf named Ranka and she asks Jin to form a pack with her. Problem is Jin hates animals.
Jin, Hitomi, and Ranka create a cooking club. And eventually more animals join. Female animals because ... this is a harem.
A sloth, a koala, a cat, a hyena, and a panda. Each with their own characteristics.

Jin really wants to spend time with his fellow human Hitomi. But the wolf Ranka is very clingy as she has imprinted on him.
Ranka sees herself as the pack leader, and Jin as essentially her husband.

The anime is pretty funny. And even educational. You can learn a few interesting facts about animals.

The female animals look like typical anime girls but with animal ears and tails. Thats how the anime takes advantage of the sex appeal. The males are just animals who stand up right like humans.

But the ecchi stuff isnt too extreme (unfortunately).
There is a naked mole-rat who feels embarrassed when wearing clothes so she strips to her underwear when people are not around. But thats pretty much the most of it.

Overall I was entertained.

Mixed Feelings

Entertaining anime but nothing to note is a shojo where the protagonist is in love with the only other human in the school. But he is surrounded by animals (furros) and he hates all animals. Even so, it ends up forming a harem around the protagonist, it is entertaining but I cannot recommend it, the truth is that nothing will be worn on you if another season comes out, insects will appear. That subtracts a lot for me.

En español:
Anime entretenido pero nada que destacar es un shojo donde el protagonista esta enamorado de la única otra humana de la escuela. Pero esta rodeados de animales ... (furros) y el odia a todos los animales. Aun así se termina formando un harem alrededor del protagonista es entretenido pero no lo puedo re comendar la verdad no te a porta nada encima si sale u¿otra temporada van a aparecer insectos. Eso para mi resta bastante.

Not Recommended

Seton Academy somehow manages to be one of the most bland shows with a great concept in existence.

The concept of two humans going to a school full of animals could have worked in theory but what they do with that is so mind numbing. The story of the show really revolves around a cooking class of diffrent species which again sounds interesting but it always gets sidelined by a diffrent and more boring plot.

Most of the core cast only really have one joke to tell the gets repeated over and over again like the Sloth (dies/lazy) or the Panda (Rich). The main character ... is really annoying and serves as an unlikable protagonist. The main love interest is so boring and one note that not only can I not remember her name, but I can't remember really anything about her.

The character designs are bad as all the males look like one to one copies of the animals while the females look like humans wearing animal ears and tails, while this might not seem bad, it can make seems really weird to watch like when the lion wants to date the gazelle which on paper sounds like a good concept but again just amounts to nothing and looks like an adult trying to date a teenager.

The comedy is also bad, with most of the comedy boiling down to character gimmicks and violence While a joke or to can land (like the sloth at the carnival or the mammoths strength) it really feels like they are just throwing stuff onto a wall until it sticks.

Overall, a bad show that could have been good if it wasn't wasted on bad characters. 3/10
