Not a fantastic show, but not bad either. I didn't look forward to watching it each week, but the episodes were entertaining enough, even if I did fall behind at one point because I couldn't bring myself to put it on again. The characters didn't have much depth to them and can each be summarized in a few words, but I didn't expect much on that side of things. The music wasn't bad, but I consistently skipped the ending because it got annoying pretty quickly. This show gives you exactly what you might expect from something like this, and no more. There were some funny moments here and there.

The thing I liked the most was how every episode you'd get to know more about whatever animal they just created. It was cool to get all these fun facts and little bits of knowledge. In a way, it reminded me a bit of How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?, in the way that you always know what each character will do or say and you get educated on something as you watch. I much preferred Dumbbells to Design Team, because I found the characters and situation more likeable and entertaining.

It's not a bad anime. If you're looking for a simple show that you don't have to think about all that much, this might be something you could check out. It was kind of fun to try and guess what animal they were creating based on the request and rough drafts. Not something I would recommend to many people, but sometimes all you need is a simple show like this!
