----SPOILER FREE REVIEW----
A T-rex professor, a homo girafe, an exhibitionist mole-rat, a hermaphrodite hyena, an unbreakable badger, a star panda, an ever-dying sloth and a pero-pero obsessed cute loli wolf. That’s just a little part of the mess that you can find in this hilarious and smooth anime.
Murenase! Seton Gakuen or Seton Academy: Join the pack! has finally finished airing and damn, it was a blast all along.
If you think that’s an uninteresting furry anime, you are missing something big time. Throughout my review I hope you will see this anime in a clearer light which is absolutely well-deserved.

Murenase Shiiton Gakuen (Seton Academy) is amazing, amazing in the fact that within a span of 12 episodes, it managed to make me dislike animals.
On the surface, this show doesn’t raise too many red flags. Besides, we’ve had other anime about the animal society in recent years such as Beastars. The problem about Seton Academy lies in its story execution and character cast. People may see this just another genre cliché milked by school academy tropes. When you combine that with an academy of animals, there’s hardly anything original about the storytelling. And you’d be right. When the audience first meets animal hater, Mazama Jin, ... Jan 27, 2020
How can you not love this show? It's fun from start to finish. Always giving me a number of laughs throughout each episode. You can say for sure. 'I've joined the pack.' You should too!
While it might be weird in some sense, seeing the characters the way they are. With males looking like the animals, and the females looking like humanoid versions of them. But I see that as something different and to stand out. As for the characters themselves. Ranka is just a delight, she's so energetic, and protective wolf. A loveable dumbass. The sloth is just pure laughs really. so is Yukari for ... Mar 23, 2020
It’s an animal trivia-based absurdist comedy. It’s good. If I had to describe it in one word, I’d call it “dumb fun for smart people with refined taste and appreciation for wit.” Here’s what a comedy series should do to be a 10:
- Out of all the animal-factoids-applied-to-a-humanoid-society shows of the last few years this one is easily the most ingenious in the way, well, in the way the animal trivia is applied to the humanoid societal circumstances and situations (taking into account that the end-goal here is making gags). - The comedy is consistently funny, again, because the gags are artfully built on the trivia ...

This season so far has been really damn good for comedies. Interspecies Reviewers, RikeKoi, Eizouken, Oshi ga Budoukan, Bofuri and now Murenase! Seton Gakuen. This anime is by no means an absolute masterpiece, but it is really damn fun.
The story follows Jin who lives in a world full of humanoid animals while himself being a human. Sadly, Jin absolutely despairs animals. It becomes even more complicated when Ranka, the cheerful wolf, wants Jin to join her pack. Jin at first refuses, but after the other human Hitomi creates a cooking club which Ranka calls her pack, Jin reluctantly joins. And with that, a bunch of ... Mar 23, 2020
Murenase! Seton Gakuen is a lighthearted school comedy, but in order to set it apart from the countless others of its genre, it needed a twist. So...the entire academy with the exception of the protagonist and his love interest are animals! Therefore I'm obligated to use awful animal puns. The show is simplistic but actually really howlarious, I'm not lion! It's a solid easygoing show and I ended up wolfing down each episode's classy comedy content.
I had initially thought that this anime would lack depth and that it would slowly trudge on like a sloth, but it's littered with cute episodic stories that highlight each ... Feb 4, 2020
A generic psuedo-harem ecchi show with an arrogant protagonist who despite being a rude ungrateful ass somehow quickly becomes surrounded by friends. Oh but the girls have animal ears and tails this time, that's never been done before right?
There's a reason why this show only has the male anthropomorphic animals with the females basically human girls badly cosplaying animals, it's for the cheap sex appeal to compensate for the uninspired writing. If they actually wanted to focus on just the animal fun facts or the 'comedy' and rely on that for a good experience, then there'd be no reason to have the female animals look ... Mar 23, 2020
You know what the Ancients always say: "Birds of a feather flock together." And in the world of the anthropomorphized animal kingdom such as this, whether there's some form or (valiant) escape or not, this animal academy has it all, nooks and crannies that's enjoyable to the same degree. This is what this show encapsulates them all into one school comedic package that anyone can pick up and enjoy from start to finish. And for once, both the manga original source and anime are on par with each other.
The story of humans being in the animal kingdom is relatively unheard of (unless when it comes ... Feb 8, 2020
Hmm, more semi-furry anime.
Alright lads, this anime is very weird but at the same time quite good. The character designs are interesting. The females have the ears and a tail while the males are just anthropomorphic animals. The comedy is fairly funny, but as we all know that comedy is relative so some may not like this. The Opening and Ending are both great. Opening is catchy with cool visuals. Ending is more sad lyrically, but the music is still good and is sung by Rankas voice actress. Story: So, we follow Jin Mazama who is one of the two humans in a school filled ... Mar 23, 2020
As this anime ends , I'd probably say that this was just one of those harem themed anime where there weren't any competition for the guy's affection, and quite frankly there isn't a lot of them animes like this where it's the girl who has to try hard to wind over the guy's affection, also this probably the only anime where we see a female character taking the lead when it comes to being the "BOSS" of the group, so:
Story: Pros: Ok, so the plot ride on that usual harem genre, but unlike the usual, the plot itself wasn't more like guy like certain girl but ... Mar 23, 2020
Seton Academy: Join the Pack! Review
SPOILER FREE Intro After witnessing a fair amount of drama surrounding this show from the furry community leaking into the anime community, I decided to give this show a shot. Fueled by an urge to support a series that was falsely slandered online, I finished Seton Academy; and overall, it wasn’t that bad! Story The story of Seton Academy is very limited compared to other anime, while not falling to far behind from others of its genre. It follows a human named Jin enrolling at a school called Seton Academy filled with animals, all of which he hates with a passion for mostly unexplained ... Mar 3, 2020
Ok, as I have seen in previous reviews, a lot of people do like this show, so here
am I to tell you my opinion. I do not really like shows where there are actual animals, demi-humans are good enough, you should not cross the border. Of course there is Ranko which is pretty cute, cannot name other characters cuz of spoilers. I never thought I would ever find OP that irritating(its no better with ending). But I gotta admit, i learnt something from this show, so Imma give it 5 stars. If you are into animals, this anime could satisfy your needs. Mar 23, 2020
Kemono Friends: School Life Edition
Welcome to Seton Gakuen, where the teachers are literally dinosaurs and the students are anthropomorphized animal-human hybrids! Jin Mazama voiced by Haruki Ishiya hates animals but accidentally enrolled to Seton academy however he becomes smitten with Hitomi Hino voiced by Yume Miyamoto HOWEVER Ranka Ookami voiced by Hina Kino a wolf wants Jin to be in her "pack" as she wants to have a colorful cast of different species to be in her pack. Hitomi on the other hand creates the cooking club where Jin joins to spend more time with her however Ranka and the latter on, Yukari Komori voiced by ... Mar 23, 2020
Seton Academy is one of those shows you look at and think "Wow, this looks really dumb." but you would be wrong.
~~~May Contain Spoilers~~~ This show has a purpose. That purpose is supposed to teach you that no matter where you come from or what you look like you should make friends with everyone! Overall the show is very light-hearted with very mild "uncomfortable" scenes. Almost every episode tries to put a point across, mostly friendship related. such as getting along with this person, setting aside differences, and just dong judge someone by looking at them. All around I enjoyed this show a lot. If you ... Mar 29, 2020
The show is funny but not sure who are the right people for this kind of show, it lacked the progression between the 2 human main characters. Art and sound are fine with the exception of Ranka's annoying voice. Totally zero character development which is a letdown.
I have to admit that the only reason why I watched this is because of the Dino school staff, I particularly liked Terano sensei and was hoping that they would give the Dino teachers more screen time but they didn't which is quite disappointing I would have preferred if they focused a little more on the character relationship development ... Mar 25, 2020
Murenase! Seton Gakuen is an anime about a couple of humans or rather the human male Jin experiences on an school for animals.
The story isn't anything too special but good enough to enjoy it as every character and their way of acting is explained with their real life counterpart. The art is colorful and someone may think that it's aimed to children but it has quite the amount of fanservice. As for the characters, Jin isn't a bad character but sometimes it's hard to sympathize with him as he tends to be too hard on some of his classmates, yet still redeems himself everytime by helping them ... Feb 10, 2020
Usually, this type of anime where the theme is school with non-humans is one that I really like. But this anime is one of the worst I have ever seen, it has a cliché and superficial humor typical of this type of anime, the characters are extremely annoying and the story doesn't make sense, and for the most part it has random sexual and violent scenes.
Normalmente, esse tipo de anime onde o tema é escola com não-humanos é um que eu realmente gosto. Mas este anime é um dos piores que eu já vi, tem um humor clichê e superficial típico desse tipo de anime, ... Mar 24, 2020
Murenase! Seto Gakuen, was a good show. A fun watch with fun character. I love the animal character they have here. Various cute animal out of nowhere and join the cooking club. Lucky Jin, with how hate Jin to the animal, he always get into the problem to the all cute animal girls. My best scene was in MeiMei episode. How cute their relations. Sadly, it wont long last. Yet, with the focus of the genre do not come to any relationship, i can't do anything to help. Maybe a bit too over reacted at some scene. And i dislike so much about Hyena persona.

This show is just plain lovable adorkable hilarity. You have a human guy Jin who hates animals who ends up going to an animal school where all the guys are full anthro and the girls are human like with animal ears and tails. Then comes the absolutely adorable pink wolf Ranka and ridiculous hilariousness comes afterwords.
The big thing that draws you in with this is just how much nuttiness comes out of this, and how much you can laugh at how everyone works off each other. While the characters are simple, you still feel for them and watching how they bounce off one another and ... Mar 24, 2020
Give this show a shot if you enjoy fun humor and interesting banter. I love this show!
The story is not in-depth or complex like you would expect from something like Death Note. It's light-hearted and fun but you still look forward to what happens next episode! I have no issues with the art. Personally I think it fit perfectly with the style and tone of the show! Characters were loveable. You'll understand what I mean from the first episode. Overall, I really enjoyed this anime. What stood out for me was the humor and concept. Well executed in my opinion. |
