Synopsis

After unknowingly participating in a kidnapping, college student Yuuya Nomoto finds his friends brutally murdered by Hitomi Uzaki, the high school girl they attempted to abduct. Forced to drive her to an undisclosed location, he finds himself being wagered as the prize for a death match between two Therianthropes, superpowered human-animal hybrids created through advanced gene therapy. As one of these hybrids, Hitomi uses the speed and fearlessness she gained from her ratel genes to viciously dispatch her foe and save Yuuya from certain death.

Waking up hours later hoping the whole event was only a nightmare, Yuuya realizes that he has become embroiled in a secret proxy war between four large Japanese business conglomerates, with the winner taking control of the economy. As her sole albeit unwilling investor, his life is now directly linked to Hitomi's ability to participate in underground bloodsport matches known only as Killing Bites.

The story is basically battle royale but with animals. These people are infused with specific animal DNA resulting in them being able to turn into their animal forms. Okay not the best story wise but the fighting is what really drew me into this anime. Okay I would be lying if it was 100% the fighting, a large portion of it revolved around the amount of HEAVY fan-service in this anime. Which can always boot the enjoyment of an anime as well.

The art and animation was really well done. LIDENFILMS has yet to disappoint me when it comes to high quality art and animation.

Hey guys,

I read the manga, i knew what i had to expect.
And man, i wasn't dissapointed. This could be the best worst anime of 2018.
I seriously was waiting for this anime, even though i knew it won't be something humanity wants to remember in the future.

This show is utter trash and i love it.

If you want to have a good time just watching boobs and people killing each other, then you are in for a hell of a ride.

The Story is unimportant and just a framework for the explosive action and eroticism.

The music rocks. I have to say, the music is really good, the read more

A violent battle among people who morph into animals, with lots of action and fanservice. "That's what Killing Bites is"

The story begins when an average college student, Yuuya Nomoto, agrees to go pick up girls with his newly made acquaintances. Little did he know that by picking up they meant kidnapping and attempting a rape. Things don't go as planned, though, because Hitomi aka Ratel, the girl they try to mess with, turns out to be a real beast. That all leads to Nomoto getting mixed up in the world of therianthropes and their deadly fights.

It's easy to understand what Killing Bites is like. Don't expect deep and thought provoking story from this show. It is still good at what it wants to be, though. The plot does progress throughout the show, some of the events I have found surprising and the anime was overally engaging and pretty exciting to watch.

That is mostly because of fights which are well animated and interesting. The therianthropes' moves correspond to each animal's actual abilities (which are explained during the educational scenes accompanied by some heavy music, a lovely combo). Thanks to that, every character's fighting style is different and the outcomes aren't always predictable. The show is also full of violence and blood, but it fits its nature and is something I've never found unfitting in this case. Things can also get lewd during the battles but it's not the usual, glorified kind of lewd we most frequently see in ecchi shows. It's more brutal and won't be to everyone's liking.

The characters are another good point of Killing Bites and aren't as shallow as one could expect. Each of them has their own past, reasons and ambitions. Some of the relationships might also get pretty complicated as shown in the last episode. I also like how each therianthrope's respective animal corresponds to their personality.

I'm also satified with both visuals and music. The artstyle is nice and the animation is of good quality. I liked the character designs and found them fitting the character's personalities. The heavy tones are great and fresh and go well with what we see. The opening song is no different from most of fripSide's songs (which is not necessarily a con if you like their style) and the ending song is fresh and catchy. I don't have any complaints about the voice acting either and I must admit I kind of fell in love with Youko's voice.

In spite of minor flaws, the only thing that actually bothers me is the open ending. I doubt there is going to be another season, so people that don't follow the manga are left guessing what happens next.

All in all Killing Bites is an entertaining and action packed anime that is far from being anything groundbreaking but can be very enjoyable if you accept it for what it is. It's well made and I find it worth giving a try. If you simply want some cool action accompanied by (pretty brutal) fanservice, go for it and embrace it as the good quality simple fun it is.

Please note this review is intended to be read by those that have finished watching the Killing Bites and while care has been taken to minimise story related spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned!

One nights encounter with a beast girl that changed the life of a mediocre student and introduces him to a hidden world of bloody beast fights.

Based on a popular manga of the same name Killing bites is an action based anime that also feature elements of sci-fi and ecchi Killing Bites gives us the opportunity to see what exactly would happen read more
