Note: I stopped at episode 6.
Series in one sentence:
"Ugly", yet charming characters become instantly bland the moment they're pretty.
Series in more sentences:
High school students are randomly transported to a different world and told to be needed in an upcoming battle against a demon lord and his army. Meanwhile, the class outcast is separated from everyone and forced to fend for himself in the unknown wilderness.
After eating a bunch of disgusting foreign fruit out of hungry desperation, Seiichi finds himself changing physically ever so slightly, though also discovers to be remarkably strong. A large gorilla monster falls in love with him over his strength and chooses to stay by his side after having obtained the form of a human.
When Seiichi has become the full package deal; handsome and powerful, his real adventure finally makes its start.
The Fruit of Evolution cared nothing about its most original, interesting plot points and immediately switched over to a bland RPG adventure. The gorilla girl had real potential -in the comedic and emotional sense- but the moment she turned human, she was beyond boring and useless.
I sensed no romantic connection between her and Seiichi, the show didn't give enough time to show it, but when they officially settled on their relationship, it only worsened. They're supposedly in love, but they acted like silly siblings. They didn't kiss, hold hands, or talked about anything that would've helped solidify they're lovers.
When episode 3 hit, my interest had fully disappeared. You're flooded with scenes of absolute degeneracy, and none of it is funny, charming, or makes any sense within the story. I hated it and started dreading the rest of the series. I wondered: was this going to be a worse How Not to Summon a Demon Lord?
As expected, the rest of the story and relationships were rushed as well, and so, none of the characters were fleshed out and you don't care about anything that happens. It's like this series doesn't want to exist, but someone threw some money at it and now it's forced to.
Episode 6 was the last straw for me. I don't believe in the genuineness of polyamorous relationships, I'm sorry to admit. It's not a romantic watch for me and I find the words "I can't choose between them" an insulting confession.
Like, what do you mean? One girl you supposedly knew for months, the other only a few days, is that equal love? There were no signs Seiichi even loved his trainer, he only accepted her because the gorilla girl urged him to. Which is messed up by itself.
