Nokemono-tachi no Yoru

Anime shows with Beaty and The Beast trope!

A list for those who like anime with anthropomorphic animal characters.

Part 2 of my list of anime which are considerably low in typical tropes.

Part 1 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/6133

if you like Historical Romance Anime (all about Romance between king, queen, duke, duchess, marquess, marchioness, princess, prince etc) or Historical Shoujo Anime
you can watch this

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

I watched all of these anime during Winter 2023

Top anime (in my opinion)

New in Winter 2023
Top 1. BUDDY DADDIES, the story is about 2 male assassins who babysit girls, the vibe is similar to spy x family but this is an original anime from P.A Works so there are no spoilers because it is not an adaptation of a manga/novel
Top 2. KOORI ZOKUSEI DANSHI TO COOL NA DOURYOU JOSHI is also interesting. The ML is a descendant of Yuki Onna (actually the definition of a cool guy) the girl is cool too, the ML can't help but feel bad when it comes to her FL, likes to throw snow, I like snow dolls which comes out of the ML
Top 3. HIGH CARD is also an interesting story about an organization that collects playing cards which have powers when played gt, players who play the cards can use the power of the cards like they can become immortal, appear guns, plants, attract objects etc.
Waiting for s2

Sequel: BUNGOU STRAY DOGS S4, in this season an armed detective agency is accused of being the perpetrator of murder, waiting for S5 in July
Honestly, the only interesting thing about this sequel is BSD, the rest is just normal
I dropped a lot of winter 2023 anime because they weren't interesting enough so I mostly watched the complete series

Completed Series: RAINBOW: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin
Adapted from the manga with the same title
At first I watched it because I was curious about the high rating, but it turned out it was really good
About the friendship of 7 men who formed in a special facility to accommodate minor law violators (like a GT prison), one of them is called An-chan (brother/brother) by 6 other people, An-chan is like a role model for the others
The setting is post-Japanese American war, it's sad to see their situation and background, it makes you sad This anime has a very dark story with drama full of tragedy, how difficult and hard life was after the war

Movie: SUZUME NO TOJIMARI, a movie made by Makoto Shinkai about a door that has to be closed because it can cause disaster, the animation of this movie is really wow, satisfying to see, from the scene, the atmosphere, the action when the door closes

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating
