Beastars

In a civilized society of anthropomorphic animals, an uneasy tension exists between carnivores and herbivores. At Cherryton Academy, this mutual distrust peaks after a predation incident results in the death of Tem, an alpaca in the school's drama club. Tem's friend Legoshi, a grey wolf in the stage crew, has been an object of fear and suspicion for his whole life. In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, he continues to lay low and hide his menacing traits, much to the disapproval of Louis, a red deer and the domineering star actor of the drama club.

When Louis sneaks into the auditorium to train Tem's replacement for an upcoming play, he assigns Legoshi to lookout duty. That very night, Legoshi has a fateful encounter with Haru, a white dwarf rabbit scorned by her peers. His growing feelings for Haru, complicated by his predatory instincts, force him to confront his own true nature, the circumstances surrounding the death of his friend, and the undercurrent of violence plaguing the world around him.

An anime that really surprised me at the time by some factors.
1. The author is the daughter of the creator of the Baki series.
2. It has a surprisingly good plot.
3. It has somewhat funny characters that feel somewhat alive.

Bad points that drove me away were principally how it handled the suspense situation, it's resolved in a half baked mean and feels like it's running against a time clock at the final in a sense of time left to round up the story.

Nevertheless it is a great watch if you're curious but surely you aren't missing a lot by not watching it.

Mixed Feelings

im not like a furry but beastars made me feel some things tbh.
Overall it's a pretty good show to watch when you're bored and has decent character writing and a good plot.
i do think my opinion is a little damaged cause i didnt like the artstyle.
it was pretty dark and some of the characters borderlined animal racism if thats a thing.
the music throughout the series is really good although some scenes seem to depend entirely on the music to make a statement which isnt bad but that tool could be used less.
the story is definitly like a highshool delinquent romance cliche ... ie. misunderstood bad boy falls for the innocent good girl who has secrets.etcl

I found the approaches interesting. But the anime does the same thing as the movie Zootopia, with the difference that the relationship between the species was portrayed in a much more intense and strange way. Unfortunately, I found it too strange and cringe at times, which is why I couldn't enjoy it.
It also annoyed me that things developed so slowly and there were very absurd plot twists.

The first season was ok, good plot and dialogues. Season 1 was about the nature of human and choices in life. It was inspiring and meaningful!
However, the second season was....painful: total non-sense. All characters’ behavior conflicts ... with their purposes. It became a very boring drama that doesn’t make sense!
