Look! It's a Pandaman from One Piece!  |

| I ain't no furry... but DAMN JUNO CUTE MAN. City life seemed pretty nice for a moment, until Legosi had to run through the Perfume Department and collapsed, things got real dark again. It was great. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| The world between herbivores and carnivores only get worse...in school too, where external worldly cases profound the bullying between both sides. Man, Juno the gray wolf sure is cute...but in the face of Legosi, he's having the same thoughts as when he's with Haru. Touching on the outside world, that's where Beastars bare its TRUE fangs in a psychological way, and it shows with Legosi and the carnivore drama club gang wandering into the Black Market without full conscience. The atmosphere sure is heavy...with Legosi always ready to avert and escape but with blood seeping into his senses. Getting kidnapped as means of escape from the Black Market boss-cum-psychotherapist isn't good...but he's lenient enough to understand Legosi's repulsive reaction and all, coming from the same mindset as him: ABANDONING THE BEAST WITHIN. But I've gotta say, the Legosi IN school and the Legosi OUTSIDE school may be the same, but of different intellects. The world can turn easily upside down and activate instinct within the blink of an eye. In a nutshell, failure to keep yourself in check will 99% lead to acting on instinct and reaping the consequences, certainly Legosi is learning more about being one-sided and the uncertainty of his actions. |

| Really great world developpement, it's getting better after each episode |
 |
| "We couldn't look much more different." lmao. Juno seems cute. When that guy offered his finger, I wasn't expecting that. Gouhin is an interesting character. Good at least Aoba supports Legoshi. Nice bromance moment they got. "I just want to stand firm." That quote resonated. |
| i almost passed on this one cause i thought ''fucking furries'', glad i didn't! |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| So I have read most of the manga now which is something I never do, I'm a anime weeb through and through. No spoilers except I will say anyone who thinks this is a generic high school story with animals is very wrong, just wait. |

Well, good news. Just checked some spoilers and seems that the next arc is going to be about this murder investigation. Also it's a relief that culprit is not from the actual staff but new to be introduced Nowhere close to murder investigation, next arc is not about it at all ... |
| I hate everyone equally |

Next after the next, I guess? The following arc after the current is , right? |

| Eww! Bill is way too hard up if he wants to pay money to eat those nasty old fingers. Who the hell knows what they've been in or where they've been. Yuck! |

| That last part was hilarious. So now Legossi gotta see if he really loves Haru by using the Rabbit porn book XD. |
 |
| The world building and theme exploration were great in this episode. We also got a potenial new character for the love triangle and some nice gags here and there. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Honestly, I would've love to see Gouhin being a bit more pissed off at Legoshi by the end. (At least, he was in the manga) Honestly, the back alley market is such an iconic scene in the manga that I think it's impossible to get the same feeling I had the first time I saw the old Jiji half-eaten fingers taunting Legoshi to take a bite. I loved that smoke effect though, a nice way to "censor" some elements, which also represents the temptation (odours) getting into his sensors. Must be tough feeling that way, makes me even more glad that I'm simply human ! |
| This episode is a proof that this anime is really special and serious about its plot. No naiveness, no "furry perverted scenes", just interesting concept and mature plot. Bravo! I liked how this panda doctor was somehow a referrence to volunteers trying to help drug addicts in real life. With that difference that he helped carnivores with their lust for meat. |
| Doctor Panda is funny lol. I prefer Juno as love interest rather than the slut rabbit. |

| Wow this show is dark in a very unique way, I like it a lot! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Lmao @ the rabbit porn dvd, this anime keeps surprising me with this type of content haha. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Too bad they toned down the finger gore. |
 |
| Ouch 😞 maybe he's just want to eat Haru or not? We can't tell. Legosi should test himself and clarify his feelings. Panda doctor is so cute ❤️ |

| Is adult society better mannered between carnivores and herbivores because of the Black Market, or simply because high school kids are assholes? |

| I haven't enjoyed this anime as much as others have, but I loved this episode. The settling change made it way more interesting. Hopefully there's more episodes outside of school. |

Hopefully there's more episodes outside of school. Actually, the latest arcs of the manga takes place completely outside of the school, but that probably won't be seen on the anime until a possible Season 3. Only the 1st season is more focused on slice of life/school stuff, 2nd season will be more focused on mystery/psychological stuff but still featuring the school setting, and like I said the 3rd one will drop the school setting completely. All of this taking into account the manga's arcs. I see. I still haven't finished the first season. Hopefully it keeps the quality of this episode. |
| How in the heck can a black market just be in the middle of a city so easily like that >_< |
 |
| It's funny that birds can't fly before they graduate, lol. |
 |
| Really interesting world they live in. And it cannot be easy to be a carnivore when one is limiting one's instincts constantly |

| I kinda want to take a look to that wet bunnies magazine and I ain't even a furry lol |
| W o w this was a beautiful episode. The dialogue was intriguing and well done. The struggle is real. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Red wolf girl? Nice addition to the show! It seems the outside world play some contrast situations describing how the relations between the carnivore and herbivore had some darkness spot, among them. Its a black market, provide some illegal meat to bloodlust carnivore who can't defend their instinct. Legosi, once again, try hard surpressing his true meaningful lust. The young age of animal thought make him confussion felt natural, yet weird in the same place. And a biassed mind from the Panda doctor, stating the herbivore as his pray or truly beloved had a great impact for my initial thought. Legosi's contradiction instinct play such a nice scenery for this episode. Making the confussion among the Legosi's body felt good for the development of his character come so fast. Its make me wonder next, how long can he defend that inner system, while everything gone wrong on his side? Next episode must be some refreshment! |

| I didn't really understand the deal with the panda, but cool episode anyway. The concept of the black market is really cool :0 |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| The more I watch this, the more emotionally heavy it feels. This society is fucked up big time and it's so heartbreaking to see Legoshi's values and morals being challenged at every turn. I almost cried watching this episode; he's at that horrible age where he realises that becoming an adult doesn't fix your problems and that's a really hard lesson to learn. |
 |
| Heyy, Introduction to Best Girl Juno??? We see the world outside the school, and also the Black Market I really like how they show us the inner struggle in Legoshi mind in this episode... I didn't expect Panda Voice has same VA as Thorkell from Vinland Saga, i think his voice is fit well... In the end Aoba was right, it's like eating your friends... |

| This season of Beastars is just so great, and this episode was one of the best when it comes to its psychological and characterization aspects, especially surrounding Legoshi's character and the conflict of being a carnivore with a herbivore's heart outside in the real world where there isn't the same kind of barrier that is present in their school. His conversation with the ripped ass panda doctor was interesting as the panda questions Legoshi and asks him if his feelings and thoughts for Haru are purely love now or are the predatory instincts still there underneath like how he tried to consume Haru, and that he's just using his opportunities to talk to her to strike her down when she's closer to him. It's a good question of his real instincts and what Legoshi truly desires with someone like Haru and also does question how much longer can he continue with the pacifistic nature and not give in to the temptations of fresh blood and meat from herbivores or maybe even other carnivores/his own kind like how some creatures had to do in the past like eat their own flesh to keep themselves satisfied hunger wise. |
| My God, I thought he was going to smash his head against that lamppost. It's almost beautiful yet horrifying how this world can compare to our own. The outside world is really, a bad place. |
Mess with waifu, lose your laifu |
| I loved this episode. Poor Legoshi, trying so hard to control himself. It must be really hard on him. |
 |
| The earlier episode has been upping up the messed up image of the world the story is set up in, but this episode really puts a full meaning behind the statement that's been repeated the mos; “We live in such a messed up world”. |
| As per Legosi's usual antics, he saved Juno via very unorthodox methods. Nice big brother cover up story while being hilarious Damn that black market is fucked up, imagine selling your body parts or a family member for monetary gain oh wait people already sell their kidneys for iPhones in the real world |
| Quite the cruel world Legoshi has discovered that day from the black market, the pictures of carnivore patients and lastly the buff panda doctor sharing his porn stash. I'm glad Aoba was there at the end sharing the sentiment of not eating herbivores. |
 |
| Loved this episode. Things have finally taken a real dark turn with herbivore meat being sold in the Black Market.(Doesn't matter if it comes from funeral homes or hospitals it's still VERY fucked up) Legoshi's internal battle just got even more difficult. Even I'm confused about whether his feelings for Haru are real or if it's just carnivorous desire. Gohin's a cool character. I actually thought that he put the muzzle on Legoshi beacuse his previous patients had attacked him but he had been attacked multiple times even before becoming a psychotherapist. Juno's pretty cute and a clear love interest. |
