Beastars

This is my opinion. If you agree, that's fine. If you don't, that's still fine too. We all have different opinions.

I first heard of Beastars because of its opening theme. It was a jam to listen to and its visuals were interesting for an anime series. However, I got sidetracked by other movies and shows that I had no time to watch it. Thankfully, after many days have passed, I had four hours to spare and that was where it hit me; this is the perfect opportunity.

Like I said previously, the opening theme was a jam as I sway my hands like I was playing the drums. The opening isn't just where it stops getting good, because as the episodes went on, it just got better and better.

The plot had me interested and from the first episode alone, I realized that this show demanded my full attention. It tackles mature themes that I would expect coming from a Seinen manga, and this is made even better with the interesting use of its characters. Even if they were animals, it got me invested because of the worldbuilding, the depiction of carnivores and herbivores, and the conflicts that the world revolves around in. Also, I find it very interesting that I can empathize with a fictional, anthropomorphic, gray wolf who has anxiety issues. From the first season alone, I can already say that these are well-written characters, especially Legoshi, Haru, and Louie.

The animation was different than what I expected, but in a good way. I would have been fine with the stop-motion animation like in the opening, but the use of 3D animation and CGI were pretty good. A picture is worth a thousand words, and this saying holds true when you pause for a moment and think to yourself: this looks great.

In short, this anime and everything that makes it an anime is great. This is truly worth watching. I might probably read the manga as it got me very curious about what happens next. Hoping the Season 2 continuation will be just as good as its first season.

9.6/10

I don't watch many anime's and I was like okay I'll give this one a shot, even though I thought it was silly and thought it would be too weird. But damn I was surprised by the artwork and a really good story every episode, all of them are interesting because each story introducing a new character arc in that characters POV. I recommend this anime even if you don't watch anime regularly or do but I'll I gotta the only problem is a romance between a slutty rabbit and a socially awkward wolf creating some weird drama. It's great though, weird obviously it's animal romance but it's funny, has really good character arcs/building, and all around a well paced and well told story but you need to watch till the end for the story to finally make sense.

So I saw that ONE scene from Beastars that everyone probably saw. I honestly thought this is something for furries lol. Than I started to watch it with the thought that this show is gonna be the ultimate cringe for me. And true, some scenes might be weird and uncomfortable to watch, but I really like the concept and binged the first season in one day. Great character development. Intriguing conflicts. Nice 3D animation with a 3D look. So if you're open to anime, but had the same cringe prejudice about this show, give it a chance. It's really worth watching it.

Even if you're not into anime, you should give this a chance. It's brilliant.

At first, i wasn't drawn to click on the video, but then i came here to watch the ratings, and gave it a chance. Glad i did it.

This series is quite dark. It contains sex and violence, but also love and empathy. I found it a little bit disturbing at first, when i thought "ok... that's violence against females... what exactly does this show propose?". I think that ultimately the message is: "there is violence inside of you, but also love and empathy. Fight the monsters, don't become one".

I didn't like the second season, however. It felt like it lacked direction, and purpose.
