Murenase! Seton Gakuen

Seton Academy is a place attended by a plethora of interesting and diverse animal species. Jin Mazama is one of the few humans there, who also happens to vehemently hate animals from the bottom of his heart! One day, he stumbles upon the rowdy and assertive girl Ranka Ookami, a small "lone wolf" without a pack, who has not a single friend.

The desperate Ranka tries to invite Jin into joining her pack; Jin, who hates animals, naturally refuses. Amid this situation, Jin meets Hitomi Hino, a fellow human, and promptly becomes infatuated with her. After getting to know each other, the two decide to create a cooking club, and after a few bad-blooded misunderstandings, Ranka soon joins the club as well.

Thus begins the howl-some and howl-arious story of two normal humans; an adorable wolf; a cheerful koala; a sluggish, blonde sloth; and a feline with cattitude in their newfound club—in a story that teaches that friendship can be forged by creatures of different kinds.

"Here, deep within the unusual and dynamic ecosystem of Seton Gakuen, we encounter a world that defies both expectation and reason. The creatures that inhabit this realm, though seemingly human, retain the most exquisite traits of their animal counterparts. It is a place where biology and charm intertwine, creating a harmony so unique, it leaves one breathless in awe. Let us explore this fascinating environment, where biology and endearing absurdity meet in a captivating dance of evolution."

The first thing one must notice is the remarkable creatures we observe, particularly the young female members of this environment, who, though exhibiting a remarkable semblance to humans, carry ... the unmistakable characteristics of their animalistic ancestors. One cannot help but be enchanted by their grace and beauty, akin to the most delicate of creatures in the wild.

Take, for instance, the 'Wolf Girl'—a fascinating hybrid of the fearsome wolf and human traits. With her sharp, alert eyes and impressive agility, one might expect her to be a solitary predator, preferring the company of her own kind. Yet, contrary to what one might anticipate from such an apex predator, she shows remarkable social adaptability. Her interactions with the other species—ranging from the brash to the bashful—are nothing short of delightful. Her loyalty, fierce as it may be, is often punctuated by moments of unexpected tenderness. She is a prime example of what we might call a "social apex predator," one who thrives not through domination, but through building alliances and understanding the intricacies of interspecies diplomacy.

Then, we encounter the 'Lion Girl.' One cannot help but be in awe of her majestic presence. With the golden mane and commanding posture of the lion, she exudes an air of regal dignity. Yet, despite her overwhelming natural beauty and pride, she reveals a softer side when interacting with her peers. There is an unspoken vulnerability beneath her royal exterior, something that calls to mind the gentler aspects of lion behavior. Her interactions are both endearing and enlightening, as she navigates the complexities of friendship and territory with a grace that would make the savannah’s true lions seem mere amateurs. If anything, her role in this ecosystem is one of unification, proving that even the most independent creatures can find solace in the company of others.

Of course, no study of this magnificent ecosystem would be complete without observing the 'Chick Girl'—a species so adorable and gentle that one can scarcely believe it is the same creature from which the powerful hawk or eagle might have descended. Small, delicate, and entirely endearing, the Chick Girl demonstrates a remarkable ability to adapt and thrive in a human environment. Though she is often seen as the "youngest" and most vulnerable, her interactions with the other species reveal a unique trait—an ability to charm and disarm even the most standoffish of creatures. Her soft voice, her innate cuteness, and her nurturing nature make her a central figure in the dynamics of this peculiar ecosystem.

What is most fascinating, however, is the behavior of the human male protagonist. Initially, this individual exhibits an almost unnatural resistance to the creatures of Seton Gakuen. He seems uncomfortable in their presence, perhaps due to an instinctive distrust of the animalistic traits that each girl exhibits. But, as the seasons progress, one cannot help but notice a shift—a subtle, almost imperceptible change in his demeanor. Much like the most elusive of predators, he begins to open up to the charms of these remarkable creatures, learning to see beyond their animalistic exteriors and recognizing the beauty of their companionship. His reluctance slowly transforms into a profound appreciation, as he comes to understand the complexity and wonder of the world around him.

In fact, one could argue that this is a study in the biological concept of "coexistence," wherein two very different species—humans and animals—are able to interact in a manner that benefits both parties. Through his own evolution, the protagonist begins to form bonds, perhaps not with the ferocity of a predator, but with the warmth of a truly empathetic creature. There is an undeniable sense of growth here, not only within the female species but within the very human male himself.

This remarkable series, it must be noted, is entirely biologically sound. Each interaction, each relationship, each species’ peculiarities are so intricately woven into the narrative that one could almost mistake this for a documentary on evolutionary development. While there are, of course, moments of hyperbole, the underlying message remains steadfast: the diversity of life, in all its myriad forms, is a testament to the wonders of adaptation and the sheer unpredictability of evolution.

Indeed, in the grand tapestry of the animal kingdom, few environments can boast such a harmonious blend of charming beauty, biological wonder, and a touch of humor. The girls, with their unique animal traits, create an atmosphere where even the most unlikely species—such as our initially reluctant human male—can find common ground and, dare I say, belong.

In conclusion, Murenase! Seton Gakuen is not merely a show; it is an exploration into the depths of biological interaction, showcasing the extraordinary potential for connection across all species. Through its humor, its heart, and its undeniable cuteness, this ecosystem proves that even the most disparate of creatures can thrive together, in what can only be described as the most adorable, biologically sound, and thoroughly hilarious of environments.

Mixed Feelings

Entertaining anime but nothing to note is a shojo where the protagonist is in love with the only other human in the school. But he is surrounded by animals (furros) and he hates all animals. Even so, it ends up forming a harem around the protagonist, it is entertaining but I cannot recommend it, the truth is that nothing will be worn on you if another season comes out, insects will appear. That subtracts a lot for me.

En español:
Anime entretenido pero nada que destacar es un shojo donde el protagonista esta enamorado de la única otra humana de la escuela. Pero esta rodeados de animales ... (furros) y el odia a todos los animales. Aun así se termina formando un harem alrededor del protagonista es entretenido pero no lo puedo re comendar la verdad no te a porta nada encima si sale u¿otra temporada van a aparecer insectos. Eso para mi resta bastante.

Seton Academy somehow manages to be one of the most bland shows with a great concept in existence.

The concept of two humans going to a school full of animals could have worked in theory but what they do with that is so mind numbing. The story of the show really revolves around a cooking class of diffrent species which again sounds interesting but it always gets sidelined by a diffrent and more boring plot.

Most of the core cast only really have one joke to tell the gets repeated over and over again like the Sloth (dies/lazy) or the Panda (Rich). The main character ... is really annoying and serves as an unlikable protagonist. The main love interest is so boring and one note that not only can I not remember her name, but I can't remember really anything about her.

The character designs are bad as all the males look like one to one copies of the animals while the females look like humans wearing animal ears and tails, while this might not seem bad, it can make seems really weird to watch like when the lion wants to date the gazelle which on paper sounds like a good concept but again just amounts to nothing and looks like an adult trying to date a teenager.

The comedy is also bad, with most of the comedy boiling down to character gimmicks and violence While a joke or to can land (like the sloth at the carnival or the mammoths strength) it really feels like they are just throwing stuff onto a wall until it sticks.

Overall, a bad show that could have been good if it wasn't wasted on bad characters. 3/10
