Trigger always never seems to disappoint me with their anime. This was a pretty good watch. My only gripe is with Michiru though. It seems that as the series goes on she discovers she is no ordinary beastman because her form (a tanuki) comes with interesting powers (stretching limbs, growing tail, giant ears, etc.), but she never seems to want to learn how to control these abilities in case she gets into danger. Instead she discovers the ability and then act like it dosesn't afterwards.

Other than that, it is a solid 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.

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.

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 !

This was my first real anime, after Avatar: the last airbender. it's kind of for furries, but it's pretty fun. great visuals, great music, the story isn't great but it doesn't get too much in the way. i'm not a furry.

Probably it's 8 as it is, but not touching my soul enough :). Try it yourself, I really liked this show, much more than Kill la Kill from the same studio. Lore is here, animation is here, OK plot is here.

This is one of the best thing i have ever watched ...The soundtracks are Op opening and ending is also amazing the animation is Very good and smooth it's very aesthetic and satisfying to watch!! i love the transforming animation process aswell!! story can be fun and also deep u can get all sort of mood watching this.. alot of comedy and mystery .. makes me feel Hyped n Happy.!! i enjoyed this alot!! and i wud recommend this to everyone! ps sorry for my bad english😸

Decent but there's loads of rushed world building towards the end. Not enough showing, too much telling.

It has an interesting and engaging plot, its beautifully drawn and I like the colours. The characters are interesting and compelling.

In my opinion it's like a worse version of beastars, I only watched this because I wasn't allowed to watch beastars as i was 13then, now I've watched beastars it really puts things into perspective, please watch beastars it's a lot better.

I really enjoyed this anime. It's probably now in my top 5 favourites, and I've seen a ton of anime. The ost is amazing, the song choices, the voice acting, the art, THE AMAZING BATTLE ANIMATION, it was all incredible. I'm really hoping to see more greatness out of Trigger studio, and maybe even a season 2? Here's hoping anyways. But I can always tell everything about a character whenever it's animated by Trigger, their expressions and movements are always amazing. This anime was really nice too in the sense that it could be for all audiences, theres media for children in there and media for adults, although maybe don't go showing your kids who are like under 11 this ahah.. but anyways this anime was seriously good and I fell in love with all of the characters! It's also nice to see so many female protagonists from this studio, it really allows us girls to connect with the characters better. Keep up the good work!!

Trigger never disappoints! Music, colour palette, animation and character design 10/10 but it lacks on the story, actually it becomes a little boring :( i loved it anyways!

The soundtrack and OP and ending are great. The show is animation is incredible, gives a combination of comedy, mystery, shonen vibe. Seemed to take ques from X-Men as far beast men go on how society is treating them and like a DBZ craziness in the fighting scenes at times. I highly recommend to anyone.

Everyone says beastars is zootopia but anime But bna is beastars but more anime (and furry)

Been a fan of Studio Trigger since discovering Kill la Kill back in 2014. They've definitely had their ups and downs since then. But this is easily the best constructed show of their's since Kill la Kill. Between Promare and BNA, it's clear that Trigger has evolved as a studio. They no longer have to rely on graphic content like fanservice to tell a story. BNA in particular has moments that impressed me where they do things I would never expect from Trigger. There are quiet emotional character moments that have no dialogue or music and work beautifully. It's also a great mix and match of talent at Trigger. Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia) directing, Kazuki Nakashima (Kill la Kill, Promare) writing, and Yusuke Yoshigaki (Space Patrol Luluco) doing the character designs. Their talents blend beautifully together in BNA. Strongly recommend giving this show a try, even if you aren't a fan of Studio Trigger or anime in general.

I suck at grammar but I'll try to explain myself the best I can. I love BNA I just finished binge watching it and I can't get enough of it. I have watched anime like beastar and I thought this was similar. In fact it was totally different and probably better. The story line is super good and it's family friendly. There is no chance of your family walking in your room and saying Tsunade all drunk and red bending over and such. For an anime that was not adapted from a manga, this had a lot of thought and creativity used to do this project. I cannot wait for a season 2 and will be depressed if there is no other. Thx you for listening to my review.

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.

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!

I really like this Studio Trigger anime, the themes, the art, the characters, and even the story were very beautiful. I also like how funky but also serious it is. It's a thrill!

This series is great and the animation is fluid and the color of the background is good. The plot of this is good too, is because the story was like a people are disagree to be friends with the beastmen. And the beastmen try to make everything to make humans except them. And that's the plot for that. Because i don't want to spoil the story.

Animation: 10 Voice acting: 9 Plot: 7 Character Design: 10

Total: 36/40

Result: This anime is a great series but the plot is kinda complicated.
