Synopsis

In a civilized society of anthropomorphic animals, an uneasy tension exists between carnivores and herbivores. At Cherryton Academy, this mutual distrust peaks after a predation incident results in the death of Tem, an alpaca in the school's drama club. Tem's friend Legoshi, a grey wolf in the stage crew, has been an object of fear and suspicion for his whole life. In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, he continues to lay low and hide his menacing traits, much to the disapproval of Louis, a red deer and the domineering star actor of the drama club.

When Louis sneaks into the auditorium to train Tem's replacement for an upcoming play, he assigns Legoshi to lookout duty. That very night, Legoshi has a fateful encounter with Haru, a white dwarf rabbit scorned by her peers. His growing feelings for Haru, complicated by his predatory instincts, force him to confront his own true nature, the circumstances surrounding the death of his friend, and the undercurrent of violence plaguing the world around him.

I didn't expect an animal society to be this interesting.

Story 8/10
Great drama with some not so great action on the side. What truly makes the story good is the world building. The dynamic between herbivores and carnivores or even the dynamic between different species' is incredibly well written. The world works in such a way that nothing really feels out of place or illogical, the setting is just perfect. The actual story also starts off amazing and stays so most of the way through, but nearing the end there is some not so well thought out action, leaving a feeling like it doesn't belong.

Characters 9/10

im not like a furry but beastars made me feel some things tbh.
Overall it's a pretty good show to watch when you're bored and has decent character writing and a good plot.
i do think my opinion is a little damaged cause i didnt like the artstyle.
it was pretty dark and some of the characters borderlined animal racism if thats a thing.
the music throughout the series is really good although some scenes seem to depend entirely on the music to make a statement which isnt bad but that tool could be used less.
the story is definitly like a highshool delinquent romance cliche ...

Went into it with high expectations because it's one of the top rated anime of its season. Seeing the image and the synopsis gave me the sense that it'd give some meaningful wisdom/values - the type like from Uncle Iroh, AnKyou, Inuyashiki or Sakurasou. However questions quickly filled my head even throughout the first episode...


- What kind of society, fictional or not, would be possible when a HOMICIDE at a junior/senior high school occurs without the school shutting down, without deep investigation from police/authoritative figures?
- Why are the students accepting it like 「ああそうですかしょうがないね! もっときをつけよう~」?
- How did this societal setting, which must have previously experienced significant ...
