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.

An anime that really surprised me at the time by some factors.
1. The author is the daughter of the creator of the Baki series.
2. It has a surprisingly good plot.
3. It has somewhat funny characters that feel somewhat alive.

Bad points that drove me away were principally how it handled the suspense situation, it's resolved in a half baked mean and feels like it's running against a time clock at the final in a sense of time left to round up the story.

Nevertheless it is a great watch if you're curious but surely you aren't missing a lot by not watching it.

Mixed Feelings
The English dub really brings the presentation of the entire anime down, and it got me second guessing if the show was actually that enjoyable to begin with. Luckily the scenes themselves clearly had a lot of work put into them from the animation and directing team, but I highly recommend you watch this in Japanese. Look out for fansubs as well, they make getting immersed in the world of BEASTARS very seamless. The biggest flaw of the anime is its pacing; It's really inconsistent. As well as changing the focus of the subject very often, it can get easy to get lost and even ...

This anime was good in the first four episodes, then it stagnates and loses everything it had going for it.

The main character is essentially a cuck who chases a slutty rabbit who's only character trait is having slept and still sleeping with hundreds of men. I was hoping something would change but throughout the 12 episodes nothing changed, Legoshi remains a normal student with a thing for cuckhold and the rabbit remains a very unlikable character.

The setting for the show was already questionable, with high speed metro lines and cars but no self defence tools, but the later episodes completely broke it when they showed ...
