THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First six episodes were released on Netflix in Japan on March 21.

right off the bat the show starts with introducing the world where beastmen and humans live together. however, things aren't going that well, as beastmen are being persecuted and discriminated by humans, which leads to beastmen creating their own place called Anima City where the conflict in this episode arises

a little confusing how beastmen came to be, as it seems some have human-like appearance, some of them can shape-shift, and from the end of the episode it seems that some have human origins. kinda early to predict where this is going and how deep into the social-political themes it'll go

the animation looks great, fluid and dynamic, great color palette and aesthetically pleasing art
the wolfman fight was especially great, being the spotlight of the show

That theme song is lit.

Within the first few moments of the show, I was hooked already. Cannot wait to view more.

Makes me more curious on the world's landscape.

Well, as expected of an anime with animals.. it's about racism and diversity. I'm on board with it so far, Trigger never disappoint with their visual flair and I'm feeling some potential here.

Hoping that I like it more than Promare.

Wow, this was amazing from start to finish.

I already love the main character. She’s so quirky.
Also the action scenes were very well done. I wasn’t expecting the wolf to go as far as breaking the deer’s horns, damn.
The soundtrack was impressive as well. It set for the right mood

I’m really looking forward to this. Trigger has yet to disappoint me. Truly the savior of anime

It always seemed funny to me when the message “all people are the same” uses premise with literal biological and psychological inequality. It’s the same as promoting tolerance with the help of a setting where humanity is dying due to falling birth rates.

Really nice start to the show. Art style kind of reminds me of Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou in some way. Really looking forward to seeing the character development.

I liked it, I was also getting Zootopia and Beastars vibes. Also this kinda feels like Promare. Is this really original at all? I wouldn't know.

Nice ost as well.

Krl que música de abertura fantástica.. com certeza vai ficar na minha mente por um bom tempo.

A história ficou meio confusa, mas deu pra entender que vai se tratar de racismo (que já tá ficando um tema bem clichê nesses animes de pessoas-animal)

MAS KRL QUE ANIMAÇÃO E TRILHA SONORA PERFEITA (estúdio Trigger tá de parabéns), mesmo sem tá entendendo muita coisa eu me empolguei d+ com as cenas de ação e o lobo e a garota-cachorro no final me surpreenderam pra caramba.

Uma ótima estreia, tem um grande potencial, me animou bastante pra ver os próximos.

Interesting concept. Loved the cartoonish visuals by Trigger as always. Though I was particularly captivated by the animation for the ending theme song. Music was on point with an awesome opening and Michiru seems like she'll be a fun character. Let's just hope that if and when Trigger pulls some insane and most likely stupid plot twist, it doesn't involve aliens!

First episode, already liked the visuals, art, animation, soundtrack and characters, this series has the trigger sign all over the place. The story looks ok, will see how that goes on. I want to watch the other 5 episodes that were released but I don't know if this going to get the Vinland Saga/Babylon treatment (a bunch of episodes available right away, a couple of weeks of wait for the rest), but if that's the case I'll prefer to wait a little bit more.

Studio Trigger is back with their next project with one of the more cautious director Yoh Yoshinari around, but more than imitating Promare's settings the premiere episode sold me, and I want more.

Combining the eccentricity of Beastars and Zootopia is the world's setting where humans and beastmen live together, but not out of spite. At the heart of it all is "Runaway Raccoon" former-human Michiru Kagemori and her escape to Animacity, the "Beastmen Special Zone" city of harmonious living for beastmen. And it's as fast as I can say that I definitely liked Michiru's happy-go-lucky character already.

Saved by Mary Itami, a mink beast Michiru's adventures is just getting started...and having to tackle a pickpocketer already is some bad luck.

Encountering wolf beastkin Shirou Ogami was a blessing in disguise as anti-beastmen working for the humans attempt to sabotage their 10th anniversary festival. But instead of Michiru's reasoning, Shirou's wolf instincts smell impending trouble without a trial.

OP/ED is great, as expected of mabanua's styles. Too bad they're shorter than the usual 90 seconds, clocking in a minute each.

Outsmarting impressive first episode.

Oh wow what a shocker, it's as if this entire site is based around opinions, just because I liked something doesn't mean it's good. I'm well aware that Fire Force is generic garbage but I still enjoyed watching it for what it was. What I don't do is cry like a little bitch whenever someone dare has a different opinion. People have different opinons, suck it up and move on you children.

Simply calling an anime is garbage isn't an opinion.

"Well, I find this anime garbage" - you just need to rephrase a little, and it's already an actual opinion. Not a respectable one, since you're just calling it garbage without any reasoning, but still one.

Actually yes it is an opinion, the way you word it doesn't change it. I watched the first episode and thought it was shit. My opinion doesn't mean anything, it's a biased judgment based on my personal preferences. Sorry you're apparently too stupid to know what the definition of the word is.

However I look at this calling it simply garbage or shit is not an opinion, never will and never was. That's not how you express your opinion. At least, that's not how one should be taught to. And no-one else will ever consider comments likes this an opinion.

Knowing Trigger's track record, this show is ABSOLUTELY going nowhere with the premise, especially with it being this broad and bland.

What a way to start a brand new Trigger Studio Anime! All the elements are present of what we can expect from a Trigger production!!

Great sound, especially the OST stands out straight away!! The Animation is amazing as always and I can't wait to see what the future episodes has in store for the story!

Tanuki girl is cute, I like her! Wolf guy is bad-ass!! I didn't expect the Tanuki girl to also hold an insane power, that actually knocked the Wolf back!!

I am hooked!

Gorgeus character design, superb animation and overly simplistic backgrounds.

I like it so far.

Tanuki and Ogami is a charmers, ennough to hook alone.

Worldbuilding will probobly tunr out to be an utter garbage as usual with trigger's originals.

You can't just come into a forum and say "this garbage is shit" without any repercussions of people challenging your opinion on to why you think that.

Maybe you could have at the very least came up with a excuse as to why this anime pissed you off such as: not liking a anime that revolves around racism, hating furries, or believe that the world setting is unrealistic as the main character went from being a runaway school girl to a police helper in a span of 24 hours in anime time despite being a total stranger.

Granted people will probably make fun of your opinion but at the very least they will not call you a simple troll.

But nope, you went with "studio trigger bad" and slapped a score of a 1 on it and expected people to believe you at your word with no questions needing to be asked.

Then when people criticize your opinion, you don't do anything to justify your opinion by changing the subject to the likes of: "its just my opinion. stop taking me so seriously" and "stop bitching about my opinion".

Subjectively speaking, a score of a 1 should only be given to animes that are so dreadfully boring and dull that you couldn't even finish the first episode let alone the whole series. A broken mess of a anime that is incomprehensible to watch that you dropped it because the anime is broken on a technical level but in a way that it is not even entertaining to watch. Or if the anime did something that ticks you off on a personal level that you hate watching every second of it which I feel is what you are expressing but are not explaining as to why that is.

That said. Explain why you hate this anime instead of complaining about people who are complaining about your opinion.

I really like the concepts introduced. Not too thrilled with the episode's pacing -- would've liked to know a little more about these two main kiddos before seeing them put in these situations.

Hopefully, next ep will give us more character info. (:
