The MC is an absolute idiot. During the fall she could've done any number of things: stretch her arms to grab a ledge, puff her tail so the fall wasn't bad, but instead she chose to do nothing.

Her personality and opinions switch on a dime, she goes from loving Animacity to hating it in no time flat, she's completely insufferable.

I want to like her but she's so incredibly unlikeable.

By 3rd episode i am hooked, despite all this show's flaws. Mostly because of the 2 leads characters and some mystery that's brewing around. Im intrigued, wanna more.

Oogami's sense of smell is definitely not something to take lightly, such impressive range but if I understood correctly, he was also able to see Michiru's past before and when she turned into a Beastmen..

Seems Michiru's friend was less lucky after she turned into a beastmen, but I won't be surprised to see her again at some point!

Not gonna lie, I thought that when Michiru was eavesdropping on that gang, that her ears turned into Bunny ears! Something is going on with her and those medical centre guys that got arrested know a lot more! Curious to see where this will go!

Shirou's the coolest guy in this season so far. Also more mystery surrounding Michiru, I really wanna know how she turned into a beastwoman. Thou it's a shame that she's so self centered and I dun like her at all even after three episodes.

Hmmm, not sure how I'm feeling about Michiru, but I will look forward to character development. It would have been cool to see her do something when falling off the building, and being trapped by the gang members...but have to remind myself she's probably still a young teen, who can still get scared. But ahhh, poor Shirou >.< It looked painful. (Anyway, so far I like him the most).

Shirou sure is a badass and all that but seriously, stop breaking other beast-men's horns xD

Decent episode. It seems Michiru can be able to transform parts of her body into parts from other animals. Was expecting her to grew wings as in the ED while she was falling but guess it wasn't the time yet.

I'm still ok with Michiru for now, but she really needs to stop barging in and then getting held hostage. I hate when characters are reduced to this trope.

I'm intrigued by the conspiracy that's slowly unraveling. I hope it reaches a satisfying conclusion that makes sense, and I hope my hopes aren't too high :|

Jesus wouldn't be surprised if wolfman could smell his way into another dimension. Dudes bones are apparently made of steel as well. Anyway it's apparently that Michru's transformation was caused by some kind of drug. Apparently a similar thing happened to her friend.

In this episode, it seemed a bit hasty to get to find out some background about the issue of Michiru's strange transformation, the rest was interesting enough and intrigues a lot what has not yet been discovered, but it is a pity to have seen so little action in this episode, I wanted to see the character of Oogami fight for a little more time, oh well! My impression, but the quality of the drawings was not as high as in the previous episodes, who knows!

Perhaps both Michiru and her pink/red-haired friend were both victims of experimentation which is why they transformed into beastmen. I wonder if she'll meet her friend in Animacity.

I know Shirou is probably much older than her but this show is kind of hinting romance between them and I don't know how to feel about that.

My poor boy Kuro was smacked away by that lizard :( Kuro best boy.

Shirou is pretty badass but I think Michiru is selfish.

She calls her condition a "beastman disease." it's like if she wasn't in that position, she'd care less about beastmen (well... her friend turned into one so I'm sure she would care but probably wouldn't do anything about it).

And she got Shirou hurt! The dude told her not to come, but refused and told him to protect her.

Well, the episode was entertaining. Many things left me thinking, why the mayoress would allow a recently arrived beastmen to participate in a police investigation, even without Michiru’s state of past human, there’s no logic in letting someone participate, Michiru is just getting everything she wants, and she’s not the center of the world, it looks like the city has bigger problems. Shirou is just OP, I like his character, but he knows everything just by sniffing (even when that’s an amplified wolf ability), is superstrong, superfast, resistant. There’s almost nothing you can do that Shirou cannot discover, exploding something to erase information, to be discovered by a wolf 2 seconds later, they look so dumb from our point of view. The only thing that left me intrigued is this boss’ intentions, it looks like a human that invested in Anima City for a reason.

Shirou, for me, is the best character of this show so far. He might walk his way into trouble too often, but his skills and determination sees him through to the end. He had a slight hiccup against the rhinoceros doctor, but he got the better of him with ease and also broke his horn as an added bonus. Talk about brutal. xD

Thanks to his sense of smell he was able to delve into Michru's past and he now knows that she was telling the truth that she was a human. Not only that, but her best friend also had the same as her in being turned into a beastman suddenly, but was unlucky enough to be hauled off by the police.

Michiru's resolve in helping out instead of sitting around and doing nothing is commendable, although I do feel that the major gave her that opportunity so easily. I can't help but feel that they're multiple characters that have ulterior motives that they don't want to show yet that could cause a bit of a surprise later down the line.

Either way, this was another enjoyable and fun episode. The story is getting more interesting and the fights are always fun to watch. Great stuff. =D

Another episode of BNA and it traps me more and more within its universe.

This time it was a little more a chapter of construction (both of the world and the relationship between the main characters)
Little by little they give us clues to the mystery and good action sequences.

I look forward to the next one!

Shirou loves breaking those horns fr. what i like the most about the anime so far is the world building and the art style. tho i cannot fuck with the story overall and the mc is also incredibly annoying. she changes her mind every second without any reason or sensibility, e.g. her opinion about Animacity and the people living there. OST so far is okay and i just hope that the world building can help the story to develope because so far these "adventures" felt more like filler episodes tbh.

More decent world building but the issues are laid bare for me. Yes, Michiru is trying to find a way to turn back human but the show hasn't given us a good enough reason as to why she has to follow Ogami to do this, it seems his goals are completely irrelevant to hers and the story just tries to create scenarios to link their respective objectives and doesn't do a good job of it. Secondly Ogami's scent ability seems a bit too overpowered for me, he can even see events far back into the past, a bit too powerful of a story element and might lead to some ass pulling in the near future.

Seems to be a bioweapon to eliminate humans perhaps?

Michiru looks cuter as a tanuki probably since her weird looking hair in her past human self.

Something fishy might come from Sylvasta company and its link with the history of the Animacity. So know Michiru had another ability to long her ears? Weird, lol. I might think there is a genetic change to Michiru and her friend due their changing appear in teenage. Hope in the meantime, i can get more explanations to the story. So far the art and animations are so good to believe this show produced in the middle of the pandemic. The characterization of this show are all nice too. Glad to see they finished the season while another show just got postponed or rather get a difficult situations in its progression. Well played, Trigger Studio.

So obvious that the "big pharma" company is gonna end up being the main villain group the instant Michiru asked what the big building was. I just hope they dont try to turn it into a "big reveal" when its already this obvious. Mayor is probably a ringleader too. The terrorists are just a foil. Placing my bets now. I dont really care for how Trigger is laying out exposition these first few episodes.

I'm just going through the third episode and it's already one of my favorite anime.
Basically Michiru is a character that many can relate to, and the way they complement Shirou as a father figure is adorable, in a nutshell, perfection.
This episode obviously makes anyone appreciate any character in the series, one of the best moments for me is when Michiru teases Shirou's snout, that was my favorite moment ;)

Called the mid-episode plot twist the moment they announced a supposedly up-and-up benevolent pharmaceutical conglomerate, because those are NEVER actually evil and stretchy in anime!

I'm glad it seems like the show knows how obvious that is and is letting the audience in on it fairly quickly instead of expecting us to be shocked by it as a massive twist 6 episodes down the road. It's way more interesting and less patronizing to see how our heroes figure it out.

Bit of a flashback to Michiru and her friend which makes me think that must be some connection to why Michiru was experimented on by the shady Sylvasta Corp.
So far Michiru joins Shirou as sidekick, still bit of a bother (just writing it off for now as payback to Shirou almost locking her up) but I'm sure once she has her body transformations under control she can become pretty amazing.

Damn that Sylvasta pharmaceutical had a role in Michiru's transformation into a beastman.

Also Michiru's friend...Was she hiding that she was a beastman or did she also transform like her!!????? I wanna know more!!

The plot is really interesting and is keeping me hooked. As expected of a Netflix Series!!

The CEO of that big pharma company seems kinda sus. And if this company knows about Michiru, they might know what's going on with her. Shirou must have pretty tough body to fall that far and not die.

Shirou once again going for the horns. This was a great episode setting up for future plot development. Shirou is slowly opening up to Michiru. From what it seems Sylvasta experimented on Michiru and her friend, but why we still don't know. Honestly I have an idea, it could be because Beastmen have been systematically segregated and perhaps this is a plan to turn humans into Beastmen as a revenge plot? Guess I'll find out

Some Michiru's memories of her human life, apparently she had a friend with the same condition, what happened to her?. Corruption in the medical centre, its chairman, looks like he has something planned. Michiru trying to be useful just put herself on danger and made the mission more difficult by being taken as a hostage and she was able to stretch her arms again, what kind of magic she has?
