Icarus27k Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Me at the start: Hey look, it's the anime version of that manga I saw everyday while working at a comic shop. I always loved having the books and art around. Me during the first season: I'm loving the fun and kitsch of it all. Sure, some may be weirded out by the sex and violence, but I still think it's fun. It's even relatable and real. Me halfway through the second season: uhhhh, okay. This is now Goodfellas with animals. What the hell, is our protagonist Daredevil now just out of the blue? This is my simplified reaction. Overall, I am loving it. Edited May 22, 2023 by Icarus27k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus27k Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 I also found myself repeating out loud to no one whenever season 2 would do heavy social commentary. "'Segregation is good'? Is THAT what she just said?" "Did that guy just say, 'meat addict'? And you're going to catch them and rehabilitate them?" I would do this with delight.

Icarus27k Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Such a weird, complex scene that I could endlessly think about in the context of social commentary. Without the satire, it makes no sense. I looked this up in the manga, and it's weird there too. Edited May 22, 2023 by Icarus27k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus27k Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) The anime is surprisingly jazzy and moody, and you don't really appreciate that on your first viewing or when reading the manga. Here's its score. "Genuine friendship," "Coexistence," "TEM is my friend"? What emotive song titles. I love it.

Icarus27k Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 Apparently, herbivores have irises and carnivores do not. The more you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 A lot of the aesthetic choices in Beastars make more sense when you find out the author is the daughter of Baki’s author. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
