BNA (BNA: Brand New Animal)

Throughout history, humans have been at odds with Beastmen—a species capable of changing shape due to their genetic "Beast Factor." Because of this conflict, Beastmen have been forced into hiding. Anima City serves as a safe haven for these oppressed individuals to live free from human interference.

During a festival celebrating the town's 10th anniversary, Michiru Kagemori, a human who suddenly turned into a tanuki, finds that Anima City is a far cry from paradise. After witnessing an explosion in the square, she is confronted by Shirou Ogami, a seemingly indestructible wolf and sworn protector of all Beastmen. As they pursue the criminals behind the bombing, the two discover that Michiru is anything but an ordinary Beastman, and look to investigate her mysterious past and uncanny abilities. Could she turn out to be the missing link between Humans and Beastmen?

The beautiful visuals and the fantastic character designs are easily the most striking part of BNA. Every character is so incredibly visually appealing and the fast paced animation of Studio Trigger uses them to great effect.

However, I would say the story is also fast paced but to its detriment. They have created an interesting world with potential conflict but we're whipped through it incredibly fast, to the point that I really wish we could have been given more time to luxuriate in the concepts and plots presented. I know this studio doesn't do second seasons very often so the chance we'll get more time with ...

Mixed Feelings

First off, lets get the elephant in the room out of the way. Each episode can be its own season almost, espescially the baseball league episode. For those who are not accustomed to Studio Trigger, their story pacing is probably the worst out of the anime studios, but their art style is one of the best. Their story telling once you get accustomed to it is alright and downright good, but they need to stop trying to fit four to five seasons into 12 episodes. BNA is one of those victims sadly, its best to rewatch it a few times before putting a solid ...

I'm convinced that Trigger has some of the most talented artists in the industry and some of the worst writers. Or pushiest executives. The show is gorgeous, vivid, and genuinely a breath of fresh air compared to some of the art styles of the modern era. The writing, on the other hand, really needs to have some more room to explore what it is its even trying to say. There is such a non committal game being played with the messaging and themes that it makes me believe an original story was had, and was great, but a room full of studio execs pulled it ...
