One character won't make this hasubendo bait show.


Oh, so to be waifu/husbando bait there have to be multiple characters? I thought anime that focus on only one character such as Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san or Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken were waifu bait too.


Hasubendo bait are basically all-male shows that focus on advertising a range of attractive male characters.

I don't even think that the few people crying about zoophilia and paedophilia are the same ones that want more shoujo anime to be honest.



Yes, same, i for one, am actually really looking forward to this one! ^-^



I don't known about others, but i would say that the "Beast" is actually really good husbando material in his human form. :)

Hey, don't lump that one user with the rest of us. There definitely should be more shoujo anime out there—sure, there's always never much of them in the first place, but it's especially feeling like there are literally less and less shoujo anime being produced in recent years—and I do think a lot of the industry's picks and decisions around the demographic have been really odd lately. But I think it's safe to say that a good amount of shoujo fans are actually really excited for this anime to come out because the original manga is actually really good and surprisingly wholesome at times.

There is nothing strange here. Just a pure female audience is not enough to sell a pure shoujo that is not hasubendo bait. Therefore, most shoujo are adapted as doramas due to the target audience.

this place gets a bit heated lol

saying any furry x human relationship is bestiality is the same as saying furries are essentially zoophilia. not only it's wrong, it's also insulting the entire community.

anthropomorphism is essentially still with human traits inside, mind you. in this case it's just taking form of an animal-like body. a bonus in this case that

Loli x Beast is the weirdest shit ever

I DONT SUPPORT PEDOPHILIA ANIME


She's not a loli and he's half-human. Anyways, I'm looking forward to this. Looks cool. And hey... it's Hanazawa Kana. I'd watch it for that alone.
Doesnt matter she is underage and the beast guy is a full grown adult, also did i mention his a "BEAST" ship with an underage little girl??? DISGUSTING!

Does he return to that human form in the end? It seems like he doesnt and just became a beats until the very end so its still beastiality.

Also the age gap in this anime is gross, the girl is rumored to be a teen but she could be younger than that, that beast guy is a full grown adult so this is still weird and disgusting.

This is still a romance between a Full grown adult beast men and a Little girl that is still gross and uncomfortable.


I can't say for sure since i haven't actually read the Manga, but i would assume that he does turn human at the end though.

I guess you're just dead set on hating on these Anime, so i don't think anything more i or anyone else could say would persude you to change your mind about it, so let's just agree to disagree, have a good day/night!

Ok, so your problem is that the girls look like "lolis"? Then why do you also keep going on about bestiality?

Also, did you even watch the PV'S for Niehime to Kemono no Ou and Nokemono-tachi no Yoru??? I guess you didn't because if you did, you would have seen that it does show the human form of both the beasts in each of the respective anime, so in conclusion, these anime are NOT bestiality, period!!!
I watch the PV and the Beast did not turn into a human, that is a blatant lie.

I also research about the age of the beast and he is a grown adult men.

This anime is a romance between a little girl and grown as$ beast men. That is DISGUSTING, YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK!


It's not a lie, it happens at around the 0:33-0:34 mark in the video, here, a screenshot, if you don't believe me:

Here's a link to the video again if you want to check for yourself as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXGMz4KNymc

Also, the cover of the 13th volume, clearly shows his human form, here's a screenshot i took: (It's from MAL's very own Manga store, so it's legit.) Here's the link to it, also: https://myanimelist.net/store/viewer/1/7585/preview

Also, for the other anime, Nokemono, here's three screenshots of his human form from the video as well:

Here's the link to the video also, in case you want to check for yourself as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1zd9YnUUpQ

In Nokemono's case it even shows his human form several times throughout the video (from 0:32 to 0:35 and again at 0:46) , so unless your completely blind, there's no way you would have missed this, but i guess you just chose to deliberately ignore them since it doesn't fit in with your hate agenda.

Why am i bringing up a totally "unrelated" anime, you may ask? Because you commented the same kind of comment on the news announcement of Nokemono-tachi no Yoru: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2036022

Look, if these were indeed bestiality/zoophilia, i wouldn't support them at all, i was skeptical about them myself, exactly because i know how degenerate Anime can get, but luckily that isn't the case, after i saw the PV for Nokemono and the cover of the 13th volume of Niehime, i was relieved to find out that wasn't the case since they have a human form.

As for the loli thing, well, we don't even know how old these girls are, we can't just judge based on appearance, i, myself am a very short, petite and child-like adult, if you saw me, you would think i'm 10, but i assure you i'm a full ass grown adult woman lol.

As long as they aren't being sexualized, used for ecchi/sexual fanservice and there won't be anything sexual with them in the story, i personally don't see what the problem is.

Considering how people like her direction on the Sailor Moon reboot recently, I hope Chiaki Kon does this series justice.

I really need to continue reading this manga hahahaha... don't disappoint us, JC Staff!!

Looks great! Can't wait for this and the other one! (Nokemono-tachi no Yoru) Will definitely watch both of them! (Especially since Katsuyuki Konishi plays the beast in Nokemono!!! <3 ^-^)




Ok, we get it already, you never watched Beauty and the Beast as a child, now, kindly move on and spare us your hatred!!! :)

I seen beauty and the beast, and Belle is certainly not a Loli. This is Loli x Beastiality and that is super gross. I can take the beastiality part but they have to make a romance about a girl that looks like a child and a beast!? That is Disgusting!!! The beauty and the beast excuse doesnt work here, at least The beast return to human form at the end of that movie, i dont know about this sht.

THAT IS A LOLI!!! WITH A BEAST!!. THIS IS PROMOTING PEDOPHILIC BEHAVIOR.


Ok, so your problem is that the girls look like "lolis"? Then why do you also keep going on about bestiality?

I'm so excited for this anime. I'm so glad they stayed true to the original art style, it looks gorgeous. Also Satoshi Hino is perfect for this role, I imagined Leonhart to sound exactly like that. And I'm surprised Kohta Yamato is making the soundtrack, I associated him more with action rather than romance, but I'm looking forward to his music.
