Why are monsters and the like in anime usually adorable girls?


In many anime nowadays, the dragons, monsters, devil, semi-human or orcs are
usually adorable girls maybe with thicc figures. Say, in _Dropkick on My
Devil_ , the devil from the hell is like an innocent little girl. In the _good
old days_ , things were different. The vampires in _Blood: The Last Vampire_
are closer to what people would expect of a monster, but this kind of
appearance of a monster seems quite rare today.
