| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, pandas are pretty badass in this show or at least way tougher than I had thought. Legoshi has major balls for trying to save Haru alone. Major balls. He basically put his own life in danger to save her. The fights got more serious too. |
 |
| Kinda sad Gouhin didnt hit Legosi with the crossbow like he did in the manga. But damn! I love me some gouhin. He so badass! Also, damn. The music going through this epiosde was so good. |

| Honestly since I haven't read the manga I dont know if the changes made are detrimental to some of the characters' development. But so far, the anime has done nothing but amaze me. I'll start checking out the manga right now and see how it goes, but again, I have nothing but praise for now. Amazing episode. |

I think for anime only, its works well since they made some scenes make more scene. But for manga readers, i think it theres a level of dissapointment to find some of these scenes they know and love not make it over. Either way, i think the adaptation is doing a ln amazing job. |

It is very interesting to see the differences of manga and anime - there were not only minor changes this time ... but the plot is overall similar. But manga aside, we really had a lot of action this episode. And together with the music, the fighting scenes were quite impactful. Also contrasts well with the part where Haru mentally prepares to meet her end. Also quite a plot twist to learn that for Haru, "love" is the only time where people don't look down on her because of her petite and fragile looks. Really great episode overall - slowly, the anime producers seem to cut out a bit of explanation for the sake of more action scenes. Beastars is turning into a shounen xD As long as they keep up the amazing story-writing / stick roughly to the manga, it's a nice direction :) |
| They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But in spite of that, why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me. It says 'Search for Paradise!' " *Wolf's Rain, Episode 30; Kiba* |
| wow they really changed a lot in this episode too for one, Legosi met those two guys in the beginning in a different way: I was sooo looking forward to the ear droop... this here revealed Gouhin the Panda's age Gouhin also revealed something else about the Shishigumi that wasn't talked about (or shown) in the anime and as shown here, the building/tower looks vastly different. Legosi and Gouhin also didn't part ways in the alley, but rather teamed up and because they teamed up, that first lion caught them together they got rid of this scene probably cause it's kinda obscene...? haru looked so scared during this scene most of the fight against the shishigumi lackies took place outside, and legosi didn't take out like a dozen of them all by himself (which is super unrealistic) gouhin also has a machine gun with him (hence the ammunition belt draped across his torso) shishigumi's boss didn't start from haru's ears, but rather from her fingers (dunno what's the point of changing this) |

Hasn't felt like one so far to be honest. But now the shounen vibes are getting real, especially when we have a kinda OP protagonist with a buff sidekick. Also, Gouhin looks much like Rambo in the manga xD |

| I don't like Legoshi didn't kill the enemy at all and the panda did all the dirty jobs. It seems the producers would like to make a fairy tale from a certain point of view. |
| That was intense stuff. Wow! Louis is just folding his arms besides a tree as if it's a tea day, the scum in that bastard amazes me. If it wasn't for Legoshi, Haru would definitely be lion digest. She really owes him her life, after all, none of the guys she slept with came for her. Pretty sad stuff. The background music that was playing while Haru was scribbling her will was amazing, and so was the animation in the room when Legoshi was charging in. Loved every bit of it. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Also, for the manga readers here |
| So Haru wasn't just a skank out of instinct; sex was the only way she felt empowered. First a rabbit, then various other animals, now the class president. The next inevitable step would be the predator who was one bite away from eating her. I was as shocked as Legosi when he called her his "prey." The framing and shot-comp were top-notch this episode. This episode had the best self-contained character writing this season. |
 |
| My Suspension of disbelief would have needed to be cranked up to 11 while watching this episode, as my brain was screaming "those are lions right, right?" Gouhin can win a fight against a lion, but Legosi… Poor Legosi though he had to go against lions to show the girl he loves that he is serious. |
| Lots of changes from the manga, albeit cool moments for most of it that made it stand out. Knowing that the Shishigumi has Haru, Legosi's back in the Black Market. Clearly he didn't learn his lesson the last time, and the possibility of him getting targeted only grows stronger. Even with the panda psychiatrist Gouhin, the depictions of both manga and anime are vastly different in scene exploration, though context is largely the same with rearrangements. But wait, with Gouhin saving him in his dread, he faces a choice to fight against the Shishigumi together. To Haru, her backstory on the upbringing of her family, despite their flailing weak self, she doesn't understand much. But through love and sex, she found herself as an equal to other animals for acceptance. Even at death's row, Legosi found himself in her, though he can't express his emotions well, his actions always tell his words. That moment of charging in was so beautiful with the background music. Time to save Haru and get out of the Shishigumi in one piece. |
 |
| Awesome episode! Things really are getting intense That ending was beautiful though |
 |
| I begin to understand how well written is Haru's character, wonderful episode. |
 |
twoego said: I think it's pretty strange how nerfed the lions were, did Legosi actually stand a chance against them? Some interesting stuff about Haru's life were shown, it was nice. To be fair, he didnt actually fight most of them. He mostly dodged and just ran on. |
ttcchen said: wow they really changed a lot in this episode too thanks for posting all these comparisons! as someone who hasnt read the manga (yet) but is really enjoying this series its really interesting to see these changes. makes me wish they had gone with the design of the tower from the manga and included the hanging corpses, that looks really dope. |
 |
| The panda came to help Legosi after all lol. Legosi entered at the perfect time to save Haru, that was a sweet scene. It was nice to see that Haru realized just how much Legosi cherishes her unlike others. |
 |
| That was a masterclass episode. Hooked from start to finish -- go Legosi! |
 |
ttcchen said: or his pocket can be as deep as the entire length of his leg... lol Is that a Machine Gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? |
| Just in the nick of time! It was too reckless of Legoshi if he were to go there alone >>; Haru really hit a nerve at the boss for provoking him to be a bad choice of meat ^^; It was a nice strategy, but she would have had a bad ending if Legoshi haven't go save her. Great episode! Intense! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| I really liked the part (and the OST) where Legosi barges in. Didn't like the part where she was thinking of Louis. Let's hope our bro Legosi isn't getting cucked. |
| Well that was a really random episode...but I loved it OST was absolutely on point, the choreography of Legosi getting passed those guards was great, Haru's monologue was well done as well Liked Haru's story about why she's so willing to sleep with others. Kind of reminds me of Sayu from I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home. in that they both had reasons far from lust for being sluts |

| The episode was amazing, as usual, but what I want to talk about are these episode discussion threads themselves. I've been really enjoying this show, it's anime of the year for me so far, and yet I have barely commented on any of the discussiong threads, which is something I actually like doing. I always open the discussion thread, read through the first comments and give up. Why? Because they're 100% comprised of people talking about the differences between the anime and the manga. Often panel by panel. Not everyone is complaining about the differences, mind you, but they're all just talking about the things which are not on the episode. Barely anyone talking about the great things that are. About the great character moments, beautiful scenes or the amazing voice acting. It's just a big game of "spot the differences" for the people who've read the manga. Most people are at least using spoiler tags, which is good, but when 99% of the comments are just a series of spoiler tags what's even the point in anime watchers reading through the comments?? When 99% of the people are talking about a source material which you haven't read, what's even the point of commenting?? Guys, this is NOT a manga discussion thread. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA HERE. And If you MUST, you REALLY REALLY MUST (they killed a character that shouldn't have died, they skipped an entire chapter, etc) at least keep it to a minimmum. |

| It's not exactly an "anime thread", it's an "anime adaptation thread". I honestly think discussing the manga for comparison is totally fair game, especially if manga readers feel like the changes impact negatively the final product. And they can do that while still aknowledging that anime only fans are enjoying it. But manga comparison that are actual discussions and not just unmotivated "the manga was better" are, always were and always will be part of anime discussion threads imho |

I'm confident that, as soon as this hits Netflix, everyone will be a furry. The show is that good and the CGI looks stunning (I think they went easy on the trailer and first episode to get everyone by surprise). It certainly deserves a bigger audience. |

| the whole raid felt like a rpg game, very well-done. Ah, so that's why Haru is so promiscuous, felt she had underlying issues, makes sense. Really liked how Haru decided to face it rather than running away, Legoshi is a good influence on her. Very nice how Legoshi came for her rescue. Maybe she will fall for him now. Probably the best episode yet. The changes from the manga as seen in a comment above seem to be quite a few, but ye. |

| I loved the scene of Haru's monologue, revealing more about her. And goosh the final scene when that song started playing. This anime is really well-crafted. |
 |
| Little bit too much shounen feel in that raid for me; the lions all felt like unrealistically weak pushovers. Was all a bit like average bots in an RPG mission Other than that, pretty solid episode |

(Finished) - If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished) - Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished) |
| Seems like there was a lot of zero sum changes this episode, but also some really stupid ones. Idk why they didn't have Legosi and Panda team up in the alleyway. The anime made it look like Legosi just happened to stumble into the Lions base immediately after leaving Panda behind. I thought to myself the second I saw that scene that they must have cut something. Of course I was correct. Additionally it's a bit unrealistic how Legosi and Panda man were able to storm into the base with a total of 35 lions and make it all the way to the top unharmed basically. I mean all the character focused stuff was great like usual but still. |
| Week after week the show blows away any kind of expectation I may have. I don't give a single shit about whether or not it's faithful to the manga, the story I'm witnessing is incredible. Legoshi has become my favorite MC of all time, the directing is masterful every single ep and it celebrates animation by adopting different styles. This show does so many great things I can't list all of them. I understand how manga reader may be dissapointed by changes, but as an anime-only, It's becoming one of my favorite piece of fiction ever. |
