BNA

With no doubt the BEST anime of 2020. S Incredible art and design, top notch animation, extraordinary soundtrack, backed by an amazing and so creative story, it is almost overwhelming! I finished it all in one sitting, I sure hope I'll be able to sleep and not think about BNA all night. Can not wait for season two, I have no doubt it'll be just as gold. Netflix, don't disappoint me !

Now this, this is an anime I enjoyed alot. Another great anime from Studio Trigger! This is one that stays on my mind alot and I think about pretty frequently. Our main character, Michiru, is actually a really likeable lead, and the other MC Shriou is just the grumpy grandpa character but he's likeable too! The other characters are great aswell! In addition to that, the animation is absolutely stunning! I loved watching the visual effects of this, especially as it got better as the show went on!

The plot isn't original by many means, and although the ending isn't all that predictable, it's still a pretty popular plot it follows. However, don't let that put you off!

I love this anime. It gives me huge Zootopia vibes. I'm sure this is an anime fans of Beastars can get behind whilst they wait for Season 2! May I also mention that the dub is also really good? Ben did a great job as Shirou in my opinion!

BNA was overall a light but enjoyable watch. The animation was stunning and soundtracks were great, but honestly some scenes were oddly mixed with soundtracks, like it didn't exactly fit the mood or was unneccesary at times. Honestly, I would have liked to have seen this take a darker turn or focus more on the dark side of the experiments of Michuru, but it seemed to have been more of a light and friendly theme to the show. Nothing wrong with that, but I think they missed some oppurtunities on diving deeper on some characters/relationships.

I really enjoyed it. There were definitely some issues for me with the pacing, especially for the first five or so episodes but it was good. I loved the animation and world and characters. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new show to binge watch.

I really wanted to love this Anime. It had likable Characters, the setting was pretty cool, I enjoyed the overall conflict humanoids had with humans and the Art-Style and Animation are straight up beautiful, but it's story is rather disappointing and leaves a lot of questions unanswered or even untouched. For the most part you kinda forget that there even is a Main-Story and that's ironically exactly when the anime has it's strongest moments, dealing with various topics and conflicts a world divided as this could have. Don't get me wrong, there are some really fun twists and backstory revelations but the Events of the last two episodes make them appear less interesting in retrospect and also feel like they have been added last minute as if the writers themselfes forgot they had a main story to work on.

If I tried to be extra picky I would say that most characters are a little bit naive and easy to convince sometimes (definitely not all but If you have seen the show you know who I mean) ...my least favorite character however was the shows villain whose backstory was just a little bit too far fetched and cheesy for my taste (Not gonna reveal who it is though).

Overall I can't say I didn't have a good time with the series. It's fun and gorgeous to look at, I just see a lot of unused potential maybe a second season could catch up on.
