tis a fine end this show is a perfect example of a 7/10 in my eye nothing groundbreaking but very few issues , was expecting it to be far darker despite times it had me thinking "wait are they actually doing what i think they are"


served as a good opener for the main cast wish there was more Kon didn't think she'd be in the park like 90% of the season lol

manga is on a plan to read at some point

Man, that was a great ass season finale. Definitely starting to become a fan of Ajia-Do, their recent works have been really good, I hope we get a season 2, though I am for sure going to start reading the manga. Solid show. 8/10

Kabane and Akira spinning was so adorable lmao.

This is getting more fascinating. Kabane, Kon and Inugami went on a journey to retrieve some kemono stones. Looking forward to the next season!

What a thrilling final fight scene. I'm amazed that Ajia-do can do that great animation

Kabane will see his mom finally. But so sad you need to read the manga to see it

Nice conclusion in a hidden gem and most underrated anime of Winter 2021. 8/10 for this. Hoping for a sequel in a near future :)

“I don't know everything about right and wrong but I think you're a good person, Yui” - Kabane saying such deep thing wearing nothing underneath is just too cute XD

Why did they translate ‘Yokatta’ as ‘terrific’ they could've written I'm glad or it's good, terrific seemed so odd...


Kon is too precious.


That bitch again, my mood went off right after seeing her.

Anyway, It ended pretty nicely, I guess we can hope for a second season.

Overall 7/10

I actually felt my heart sink at the end of this episode - I'm praying with every atom of my being that this gets a season 2 cause Kemono Jihen has just been incredible. It was most definitely the dark horse of the season with it's captivating characters, thrilling and oftentimes fun plot and I want MORE!

I wonder if Yui Iwakiyamayukisatoshironanogojuurokushi really killed everyone from Snowy Village? like maybe after few arcs they would meet someone from villge having normal life, maybe even having with a male kid?

ok how Yui Iwakiyamayukisatoshironanogojuurokushi and Akira Iwakiyamayukisatoshironanogojuurokushi... are a real (last) name? can someone explain??

Nobimaru playing with Kon's feelings of Inari's mission, WELP...acting as a spy, but of course getting found out by Kabane and Inugami.


I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't Inari mission but just Nobimaru shipping those two. xD

Man, this last fight just felt pointless to me. It's unfortunate but it definitely felt like a dip in the latter section of the show, so much so I ended up taking a point away from my final score. If there is a sequel then I hope it's presentation shapes up.

I don't even trust the author to deliver anything worth a damn after thinking Aya was a necessary addition to the cast. This was a really solid show until her introduction. She single-handedly ruined the entire series for me.

I enjoyed this anime very much. It is simple, the plots repeat every 2 or 3 episodes, but it is good to kill time.
I love all characters on the cast (even Aya, unpopular opinion).

The only creepy thing at this episode was Akira's brother saying he killed innocent kids at the village too. Those kids were probably his children.

Kabane is such a cutie. I love how adorable he looks in that black hoodie & how unconsciously hilarious he was from time to time.
However, it is a shame that most cases they handled felt meh to me. And I found myself gradually loosing interest in this show. If there’s a S2, I will still watch it. But for now it’s a 7/10 from my side.

What surprised me is that I was more looking forward to this series than Kai Byoui Ramune, but I ended up loving the latter more.

The flashback of Yui in manga version is more detailed. It breaks my heart </3 I'm glad he's fine now and he's going on vacation with Akira ❤️

I really really really hate that Inari!!!!!!!! Especially on what she did to Kon T______T

This anime don't have superb fight scene but I like the story. Every arc is not too long and always have a good ending. I like it. 7/10

Simple plot with darker arcs directly smoothly. Good setup for possible S2. ya really needs sequel for Kabane & Kon's date trip to find em stones.
Nobimaru & Kabane combo fight vs the bro was cool.
Animation doesn't always hold up but decent development on the main team & quite funny cute chemistry.

This was an amazing episode. Nobimaru and Kabane vs. Yui was amazing. It seems Inari (finally got her name right lol) had known all along that both stones would fuse. On the other hand, Akira discovered the pain of his brother and honestly it's a good thing Yui wiped out the entire village. It seems Kemono Jihen was something that took place thousand years ago or so and it may be possible that Kabane's parents are chiefs of a tribe or so. Inari is now gonna use Kon to get the stone from Kabane by having won over his feelings... yeah, this THOT is despicable. Akira decides to go on a trip with Yui while Shiki stays back for something and Kabane goes with Inugami and Kon to the tanuki's village for finding the next stone. All in all, this wasn't the best anime, but it was enjoyable. Therefore, 8/10 is fine and I hope to see another season of this anime :)

Going through the series, really surprised with how subtle it got to imply things with elements of Shiki and Akira's story arcs as I did notice said story elements did have to get toned down from the manga which was more upfront with what was going on. Typically get uneasy with r*pe being used as a story element for a series since a number of anime and manga titles don't take things seriously with implementing it. But here, Kemono Jihen actually does an effective job of showing how traumatic the experience can be for those that experience (Yui) or witness it (Shiki with his mother).

Didn't really like this last arc since Akira is so annoying every time he opened his mouth, but the fight was nicely done with that teamwork and they revealed a bit of what is going on overall so it wasn't that bad. Really hoping they do a second season, this one felt mostly as an introduction and a setup. Kind of sad they didn't make Kon a permanent member of the crew, her interactions with Kabane were always fun to watch.

This was a pretty solid show. 8/10. As expected, the ending wrapped some things up but didn't feel super conclusive, as it's really just the end of an arc. Hopefully there will be a second season in the future.

First half was kinda okay but this series really became interesting for me in the second half with the background stories. In my opinion, this series really shined in its dark and messed up aspects. Hopefully it'll get a second season once there is more manga content.

Not that it matters really, but is it suggested that Akira was born a woman? Hence not really peeing the bed -- but you can't tell because everything they excrete is water based?

Great 'sleeper' anime series.

Loved the characters and the plots for each of them. The MC is kinda bland, but his actions make up for whatever he lacks. And the SC (Akira's cuteness and Shiki's gruffness) add to what Kabane lacks.

I'd like to know more about Inugami; his past seems like it would be interesting. I can definitely do a season 2. ma

So that's what Kemono Jihen is all about, huh? How very interesting, indeed.

All in all, it was a fun series and this was a pretty nice finale.

Expected something more b/w Inari-sama & Inugami-san but I suppose it's not time for it just yet. Kabane in flames is probably not the most sane idea but it ended up working somehow.

As expected, Yui-oniisan was beaten and somehow brought back to reality. Aya's short little moment got me lol'd so cheers to that.

It's been a while but it's finally time for Kabane's request, now that's a tease of an end. Wouldn't mind a 2nd season, honestly. I really loved some of the dark aspects of the show, in particular. Episode 7 is going to be difficult to forget, for certain.

7/10 from my end.

Ended up vaguely reminiscent of Un-Go. Bit of Kamisama no Memochou in there as well.

The late-season love triangle is weird and I'm not thrilled that most of the cast are middle schoolers (thankfully they don't act much like kids though), but overall it ends up an entertaining enough mix of mystery/horror and battle shounen elements.

Kabane and Nobimaru's battle against Yui was great. Fire Kabane was quite a sight to behold. Nice and crispy too.

Akira and Yui's bond as twins has been rekindled, and Yui has been partly forgiven for his actions. The other half will be him forgiving himself.

Kon showed up with a special mission from Inari, and Kabane and Inugami - with Kon tagging along - set off to find Kabane's parents.

This show was great. I enjoyed it all the way through, despite there being some awkward/cringe moments throughout. Here's hoping that we'll see a continuation of Kabane's journey.

Loved they didn't pull an out-of-nowhere power-up for Akira or Kabane (even though they hint Akira's potential) and simply worked with what they got, it was nice to see how at the end the three main kids got to start evolving from their initial presentation: Shiki learning to rely on others, Akira learning to be more proactive and Kabane learning he actually can feel and be loved. Their interactions as a group also felt very heartwarming, Akira apologizing to Kabane or Shiki trying to keep Akira awake when he was getting sleepy or when they took the picture and Shiki had to hold the plushie head, truly well done dynamics.

I wished Kon has been part of the main cast but she clearly has her own emotional baggage  and they would need to cut the Inari influence first.

I surprisingly liked most of the cast, Aya still needs better clothes but it seems she's not changing them ugh.

I would love a second season if it happens.

Inugami's sunglasses looks like the same kind as Satoru Gojo's in this episode.
He is also taking care of three kids like Gojo,,, so he's somewhat similar to him.
