| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Beastars' OP song is turning out to be among my favorite this season tbh. So catchy and creative. It looks like the lifestyle of the animal world is protrayed rather normal despite different species coexisting in society including at school. Personally, I find it really interesting at Legoshi's psychology and the way he views his food. Violence doesn't seem to be uncommon in this show either with a fight breaking out during middle of lunch. The show seems to continously blend a line between animal and human instincts, with carnivores being the most aggressive for obvious reasons. |

| A part of me was hoping that the characters danced in the OP and they actually did, lol. Fantastic OP! |
 |
| the ears! the ears!!! are adorable! and the op!! beautiful! creative!! i'm definitely buying those figures when they're out! ed is good but feels too magical and fantasy-like while this show is more realistic and dark and for mature audiences. love the part where he smelled flowers and haru thru the door. the way they made the mist turn into flowers then haru's head that is so creative and brilliant. haru is adorable in this episode. wish there were more close-up shots of her cute soft face rather than the faraway shots of them two and the flowers. i mean, the flowers are pretty, but haru is prettier also love the part where louis was limping then when he reached the light he forced himself to walk like normal. he really doesn't want to show his weak side to others huh. i knew they were gonna cut off the episode at that part. cruel bastards. |

| LOVED the Opening, it's so refreshing to see something new like this. Legoshi reminded me of Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox. |
| I almost feel bad for all the other "meh" ops this season Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| I think what i love about the opening is the kiss with the noses ... It's really cute. |
 |
| My favorite opening this season. Nice scene of kisses, owo. But the final Legosi scene has intrigued me. So far my favorite series this season. |

| Not a fan of the OP (the song was great whoever), but I did like that ED alot. I have only read the first chapters of the manga but this adaptation is surpassing it so far, holy shit. This has to be one of the best CGI implementations ever, it comes alive alot with the 2D animation. The potential for this adaptation is immense, I love the mood alot, and the MC is shappening to be pretty interesting, but that ending, wtf... |
 |
| A very creative and unique OP, Love it! |
ShiroiRyu said: I think what I love about the opening is the kiss with the noses ... It's really cute. I wasn't expecting that at all. I'm so incredibly touched by the obvious love and care they put into this OP. It's just beautiful, both visually and conceptually. Best of the year in my opinion... I mean, it's stop motion after all. Can't get fancier than that. |
| I am so happy seeing the world of Beastars come to life! Regoshi definitely needs a pat - he seems to be lost half of the time xD All the time, I was really wondering how the animators where going to adapt the sketched parts of the manga - very great combination of visual design (the "flowers") and some fine details. Makes sense how they animate the progress of Regoshi getting nervous! Opening is really unique and looks incredibly "realistic" even though the creators were in part limited by not being able to use animations on the props directly. Definitely a memorable moment in anime history xD The ED theme is a nice counterpart to the jazzy OP and a rather complex plot that starts to unfold. Well, and the anime really has a thing for "tail wagging", as prominently shown in both the OP and ED, lol. I'm curious as to where the anime can go beyond the manga, as the possibility of animation and sound are clear strong points of anime. Using a blend of 2D/3D makes it even the more interesting :) |
| 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* |
| that fucking ending wtf XD |
| "He is quiet and weird... Alright, I'm gonna fuck him" WTF?!?!?! |
| They got the music first and now they aced the visuals with something completly unique thanks to the same man who did Land of the Lustrous OP. He was the one who asked them to make a stop-motion OP with the help of Dwarf studio. End result is fantastic ! It's following the manga quite nicely, now next episode will truly be a great moment for our main cast (Louis, Haru and Legosi) ! In more ways than one should I say. I'm really hype for the Adler scene with Louis :O Also, gotta be glad that they're not censoring this "most revealing" moment between Legosi and Haru. |
| Thread Cleaned Please refrain from asking where to watch the episode or posting links to anime streaming sites and torrents. |
| I feel as if the animation is EVEN BETTER in this second episode. I like how they combined 2D and 3D together. It looks smoother and cleaner compared to the first episode. I am intrigued by how they did this. I wonder how long Netflix will keep this in jail before audiences outside of Japan can finally watch it. That stop motion OP was everything! The music, the way Haru kissed Legosi while dancing. It was sooo cute! This is the best OP for me so far. I am watching No Guns Life and many other series and this OP surpasses them all for me. I can't wait until I purchase the song and download it. That fight between the two animals in cafeteria, Legosi and Louis breaking it up is one of my favorite scenes. I'm excited for the next episode! That scene between Legosi and Haru is such a cliffhanger. I wonder |
| 臭い- |
| So, Haru is a nympho thanks to her rabbit instincts? That's genious. |
| The usagi is far too calm about having a first time with a carnivore. Certainly wasn't expecting that ending. |
| LMFAO Kai when he was getting complimented for being good at sewing was so fucking cute. Also Legoshi is so shy and pure right now lmfaaooo |
 |
| I've seen the future of anime production. Even better animation than the first episode, and the story and characters develop equally well. And ending on the real usagi drop ... priceless. Just one thing confused me. There are birdish animal students, but they serve scrambled eggs for breakfast?! |
 |
| Legosi's overthinking is very funny and endearing. I have a feeling I'm gonna love him as the protagonist. As for Haru, shes has to be a very broken and emotionally damaged girl to not only assume sexual intentions from every guy she meets, but be willing to go through with it in such a nonchalant manner. Not a surprise she doesnt have the healthiest mindset considering she is bullied every day and had just gone through a traumatic life-or-death experience the day before. |

Hens often lay eggs and sell them to stores, they're unfertilized so it's fine, in the manga there was a chapter dedicated to this. |
| *confused siren noises* Well.. she is a rabbit after all. Breeding is second nature to them lol |
  |
| I'm very surprised with this 2nd episode. The intro was amazing and it caught me off-guard, the animation was smooth, some of the scenes were very creative. So far this CG anime didn't have anything that ruined my immersion, which is a first. great episode with cool scenes, 9/10 intro was 10/10 |
 |
| I'm getting used to the CG, thankfully I'm really enjoying it so far, it might be my favourite anime this season Also, THAT OPENING. By far my favourite OP of the season |
| This was an experience. I don't care for the cg. The opening truly was unique. The song was nice, and the idea of using puppets and stop motion animation was cool. Still the only thing in my mind after the episode was "what the heck was that ending? Why did the bunny wanted to fuck legosi? What the heck happened." |

| CG seemed way better this episode, and man they did a great job at world building this episode, the cafeteria really felt alive watching it through. That ending had me laughing out loud though, awesome so far! |
| Damn, the rabbit sure moves fast:-D :-D :-D |

| the OP is really nice I love that the classist reading of the text is delving further into the personal nature of each character and their individual philosophies and how it coexists or contradicts the other characters and the world around them. That final seen tho lmao |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |

| holy heck, that stop-motion-style OP was amazing!! and, uhh, well that's certainly an ending... |
 |
| So I think we learned why everyone hates Haru. She is such a slut! LOL! |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |

| The fact that eggs and milk are served in this world makes me wonder what kind of treatment cows and chickens go through in this world. But this does seem like the kind of show that would explore that. |
| 100% was not expecting that- at all. Still super excited for the third episode, though. Also, best OP. |
 There's no such thing as a "man of culture", you are a COOMER. Go outside. |

| Unexpected cliffhanger, I'm starting to get why people says this series has great world building. |
| Poor Legosi can't understand whats happening before his eyes. Also mating between carnivore and herbivore lmao. |
