The female rabbit instinctually sleeps around, just like actual rabbits do. The female wolf instinctually jumps on the male she likes because female wolves are the ones who make the first move and pick their mates.

@@itsmestan well I think there mostly herbivorous, so my point still stands
@@itsmestan Most herbivores some eat meat if situation allows for an easy snack. Deer eat bird hatchlings fallen from trees for example. Giraffes lick carcasses for salt.
The dynamic that's one who's both prey and predator doesn't appear to be explored as much.
I love how they chose to animate a series that talks about taboos in the most controversial animation style. It's a match made in heaven.
yup.
yup
yup
yup.
yep
Also cool is that they used stage actors to act out all the scenes and then had the animators use recordings of that for reference. Hence why all the characters move more naturally and distinctly compared to most anime. Studio Orange really goes all out in pushing the limits of what CG anime can do.
That’s cool
That’s really cool, I didn’t know they had done that! Reminds me of how Disney’s original Alice in Wonderland had the animators also used video of real actors but in 2D. 😀
@@SB-wj8oj yeah a lot of big budget animated movies use real life reference but it's just not done much for anime. Which is a shame because it really takes animation to the next level. Us humans have so many little quirks that we don't even notice.
Sorta like Disney recording all the dialogue for their animated movies even before there's any footage drawn and compiled?
Yeah, it wasn't just for the motion too, it was to capture the motion in their voice, and to have them build a relationship in the scenes as they interacted. Such as the bedroom scene where in real life they also looked at each other's eyes while performing it and were really nervous. Or the cafeteria scene, where Haru and Legoshi were not told what the other one was going to read, recorded the inner monologue scenes separately, and had a real sense of awkwardness when they sat across each other, trying to do small talk without knowing what the other is thinking.
The actors didn't even know they were going to physically act, or how much. But then when Louis actor physically grabbed Zoe by the neck, they were like, "Okay, I guess we're really doing this..."

I. LOVED. Haru's sexuality. Beastars is the only show I think I've ever seen where a woman is promiscuous as a means to empowerment or security. You don't end up hating haru for her sexuality, in fact you really understand why she does what she does and she's a really sympathetic character. I think that's actually a huge function of sexuality and why people resort to/utilize sexual promiscuity that people don't explore much on TV because they can't get past the taboo of it.
I liked her character. She's the only reason I watched the show, but only because her English voice actor is the same as Misao Kusakabe's from Lucky Star.
It’s so unbelievably sad to me. That someone could only feel like an equal during sex is just awful and makes me angry at the world for making someone _that desperate_ for validation.
@@liannapfister8255 I mean... Kids bully others to the extremes for the barest scraps of validation. Constantly. It's a whole thing. And yet no one goes "wow, that's so sad". Like... it sucks a lot. But people do so much worse for validation.
@@liannapfister8255 Hey, there's a lot more things people have done for validation and happiness. Drugs, alcohol, even at a young age, some children have most likely had desires and pursued desires to smoke and drink simply because they've seen adults do it, and they want to be noticed and treated as more than just a kid. Haru's story is nothing short than a reality for others, unfortunately.
@@virginiafernandez6846 I'd argue that what she does is just as bad. Living in a second-third world country, Haru's story is eerily similar to young women in poverty who are never being treated other than for being poor, inferior and lazy, so they result in sexual activities just to get away from the depressing reality they live in and feel as if they finally accomplished something. Basically, the main similarity is that Haru and these women had low self-esteems, and low self-esteems lead you to do actions ranging from physical, mental, psychological or sexual abuse of your body.
And who the hell's not saying that it isn't sad? Bullying's always been encouraged to report upon as it obviously affects children. Although adults don't always take action, there are certainly people who take it seriously.

The Zootopia carnivores are more like racism in real life, I'd say. That they're often perceived as something they're not. Whereas, in Beastars, there's a very real reason to fear carnivores. The characters in Beastars may look more human, but they act more animal-like.
Yeah that’s something I really like about it. Both carnivores and herbivores have good reasons to dislike each other. Herbivores feel as if their lives are in danger if carnivores can’t keep their urges in check. Carnivores hate that they face constant discrimination for what they are and and are at the bottom of the social ladder and hardly any are in positions of power. It’s bad on both sides.
And that's what I love about BEASTARS on how fucked the society is within its own world. The fact that they have good reasons to dislike each other due to their own biology and instincts.
Just because I could abuse somebody means if a grab a weaker person arm or hand my intention is malicious.

I like anthro foods . Does that make me like and eatie
Ok, but the English dub is actually incredible. They hired possibly the best actors they could get. Also, I have one serious question about the carnivores vs herbivores balance: where do scavengers, like vultures, fall in that system? Or characters like Jack, who, as a Labrador retriever, doesn't have the same instincts as someone like Legoshi? It really makes you wonder what kind of struggles they're having, doesn't it?
Jack has a huge mental break when he realizes his animal type was bred to be obedient.
I also wonder about the over kinds of diets animals often have (omnivores, insectivores, etc), in a world so divided into two categories how do people that fall in the middle or completely outside the two categories deal with the society?
@@ItzMuffinzz omnivores probably just eat the same thing as carnivores, same with insectivores.
SPOILERS.
.
.
.
.
.
in the beastars manga, after an carnivore and herbivore war ended, they decided to create carnivores who arent drived by their instincts, but instead are more intellegent, which are dogs and cats, so jack doesnt have the same insticts as legoshi and other carnivores, but instead his challenges are the pressure from society expecting him to be great becsuse he's a dog, this really affects him throughout the story.
I was having a sleepover with a friend the other night and we decided to watch beastars as a joke, "haha cringey furry anime" we thought. We ended up staying until 4 am to finish the entire 1st season. We are now addicted and waiting for that 2nd season.
It do be like that
2nd season is going so good so far. having to wait a week for each new episode is gruelling to say the least. aaa
I watched it because I doubted that the age rating of TV-MA was justified. Oh, how wrong I was.
That’s how I’m feeling rn 😂

Fun fact about herbivores, especially ones like deer… they sometimes do eat smaller creatures. Deer eat bones for the calcium and there’s even a video going around of a deer just… munching away on a bunny carcass for the fact it was low on calcium

I dont think Beastar really is about racism. Actually, itd be quite odd to see it that way considering carnivores arent unjustifiably feared. They have actual instincts, physical superiority (at least in terms of strength) and needs. Ones they can somewhat control but are still present
Id say its more about deviance. In all its forms. It being sexual, in demeanor (aggressive, domination, submission, carnal desires, ideals)societal influences and image, gender roles, discrimination, biology even.
Completely agree, same with zootopia. We as humans have the association that carnivores would be a danger towards herbivores, therefore claiming it's an analogy to racism would imply that there would be a reason to be racist.
Were all humans, all the same only with different colors. No one is more savage, stupid or dangerous by default.
@@brook_angel I recommend reading a synopsis on what the original Zootopia story was if you haven't because it handled the idea of racism in a very direct way. Carnivores were heavily discriminated against in order to make herbivores feel safe even though they had no natural instinct to kill/ eat them. with the main issue being caused by a mix of fear mongering, lack of education and misconceptions which is exactly how racism breeds. it was a really cool idea and I wish we could have seen that story animated as well.
@Kaylee Unsworth yeah the way it's handled in the two is very different, i didn't find myself thinking of race very often in Beastars; it's way more the tension between what is acceptable and what is seen as deviant.
Does...does this mean the creator's insert was the chicken that just randomly appears that one episode?
Chicken is best character tho, made me really hungry for egg sandwich
It's not random at all, she made it like some kind of metaphor as far as I know
Yes.
maybe its a metaphor for how hard she's working and the sacrifice she's made
@@byakuyatogami2905 i'm pretty sure she also said something along the lines of that it was to show that eggs and stuff aren't taken or something from other animals and just how that works

It pisses me off that the only thing people see in beastars is “lol bunny tits” when in reality it’s not NEAR even TRYING to be fanservicey
"Beastars" is "Zootopia" for people who don't like being preached to, and shown that the real world is a messy place with no clear answers for many problems.
Both of them are for degenerates but ok

Everyone's terrified of Legoshi, but Bill, a TIGER, exists too. No one even bats an eye at him.
Edit: Y'all making some really good points!
Right I thought tht too
I think it has something to do with character cliches, AKA Stereotypes. Tigers are predators, but they're see as strong and wise. Wolves are "Wild" and "Savage". Its a motif that goes back to when humans were competing with wolves for food and land. It's why almost every culture that interacted with wolves has a story about a man turning into a wolf and going on a killing spree.
@@ryanfink4206 Thank you for putting savage in quotations. Because wolves aren't "savages". They are so much more than that.
I think it’s because of legoshis point of view
Because he's greeeeeaaaaat!
when you get the mindset "oh is all furry stuff!" out and start watching the show and hearing the story, is freaking great

I agree
My view of Beastars: “It’s like Zootopia, but instead of using the divisions of predators and prey to make a political statement, Beastars creates a fictionalized world based on that idea.”
Bestars is a a retarded teen soap opera for retards.
I think Zootropolis had good intentions BUT it coming from Disney, who own 80% of Western worldwide entertainment, doesn't do it any favours. Doesn't help being released when social issues like racism and police brutality are very present, either. Like... we often blame Disney princess stories for corrupting the concept of romantic love in Western society, but I think Zootropolis is way more morally questionable than a movie with an ice princess who was just made to sell toys (capitalism is a diff story and I'm not going to elaborate much for now...).
I am an adult and I think we are a considerably sized group of people who are aware that "Zootropolis is just a fictional story, so we are able to see it as the aesthetically appealing 3D cartoon with animals that it is", but it's also quite privileged coming from us at the same time. Seeing it through the lenses of our current human society doesn't look good on the movie, particularly for another considerably sized group of people. Like the MCU being paid by US military. Shady stuff from a business and propagandistic pov.
I think Zootropolis is more like Aesop's fables (as in "stories with fictional animals that directly mirror human trials and tribulations"), while Beastars is a "fictionalized world based on the idea of predators and prey", as you say?
Radio Ardilla excuse me but what teen drama have you watched has ever had a ridiculously deep dive into the philosophy of why satisfy your primal needs immediately and without any effort put in leads to apathy and the reason why the strong shouldn’t trample on the weak
Dominga Doflaminga Yeah... That. Lol.
I respect Disney for delivering such an important message in a kid’s movie though. Yes it’s silly talking animals, but it’s silly talking animals that are teaching children important, relevant things that make them be better people. That’s my view anyways.
Plus, the movie itself doesn’t get too preachy (like the politics in the new Doctor Who episodes get). It delivers these hard hitting concepts through characters we care about and both are intertwined in a fun narrative that knows when to bring comedic levity. It’s not perfect, I’m not saying that, but I don’t think it’s bad to draw attention to both sides of an argument while the argument is happening. You know?
Dominga Doflaminga thanks for clarifying, I wouldn’t have known you didn’t think zootropolis was real considering the fairy tale you do believe in comrade. Hundreds of millions dead because communists thought their social critiques were more intelligent than actually understanding the mechanisms of economics and human nature.
one of my favorite things about beastars is it can stand on its own its its own story in its own time, in its own world and even without directly using them to shine a light on real world societal things or focusing on that relation, it connects with the viewer it gives them something unique and interesting another world that has its own problems but is more then interesting enough to hold your attention, something even an edgy escapist can get into

Same xD I didn't know much about it when I watched it and it caught me pretty off guard. But I'm okay with it, the show is really good.
One thing I really like with this show is that it’s not only the carnivorous resisting their instincts but the herbivores to. It’s pretty good at portraying that the herbivores instincts to run, hide, or freeze are instincts that also get in the way of their relationships with the carnivores. That sure sometimes instincts help but to be in a society and to have the constant reminder from your own instincts that you can be in danger at any point and you have to resist the urge to run because at night a carnivore came to you to tell/give you something important. I hope more anthro shows like this explore these worlds

Fun fact:The voice actor for Kira Yoshikage is also the Japanese voice actor for Nick Wilde.
I love the fact that this show doesn't forget the fact that these characters are animals, they fully acknowledge the fact that they are, and don't forget it. My favorite example is when Legosi is in Haru's garden, and she puts his tail under his suspenders so it doesn't knock over anything. I wish more stories played with those simple ideas!!!
Funnily enough, I have the same idea as Paru except in my story, it's hidden society within the human world and the animals are actually humans who can turn into them (except the animals are on all fours) and some of them suppress the animal instincts when trying to live normally on the surface but can't sadly since deep down, they're animals as humans. Also, the main characters is a female deer with a wolf boy.....DAMMIT! XD
A little similar but best minds think alike lmao.
The most reliable (and depressing) part was when he had to check his tail to see if he was happy.
When he mentioned that the lion mayor had surgically removed his teeth, I wondered how he would eat meat. Then I thought, "Oh, well maybe he's a vegetarian!"
And then...
Leo the Lion flashbacks commenced.
Maybe he eats meat soup?
@@cintronproductions9430 True, that could also be an option.
In the manga it explaines that carnivore get most of their protein from eggs and insects. There is a whole episode about a chicken who makes a business of selling her eggs for carnivore consumption. So it shouldn't be to hard for him.
@@foxxbutt Funny enough, insect protein seems to be the explanation in Zootopia, as well as high protein plant sources like nuts and tofu.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio if my memory serves, they were saying fish also served as a protein source in zootopia. Which is fun because in Beastars they are people too. Legosi has a class to learn sea speech and meets water creatures in the manga.
“There’s herbivores and carnivores”
Omnivores: am I a joke to you
The panda guy is the only omnivore we see if i am not mistaking, but he only eats bamboo
Kalki mahé nah, pandas are carnivores that have adjusted to a diet of only bamboo
there are omnivorous animals in beastars, but they're grouped as carnivores and herbivores based on predatory instincts. like how bears are omnivores but in beastars they're seen as carnivores because they have the instinct to hunt.
Omnivores still eat herbivore meat, therefor they count as carnivores.
The real question is, what about insectivores?
@@kalkinzinsunpraiser1548 The chicken is also an omnivore
I originally didn’t know what to expect from Beastars when I first watched it, so my mindset was like, “Well I’ll just check this out and see what it offers”. By the time that I got to the school play, I was absolutely hooked. The show starts getting really intense from that point on!
The thing I really like about Beastars is that the female characters don't look like cute humans with animal ears while the guys look completely animal. Both sexes actually look like animals but you can also tell the difference between the two with small details :)
Don't bash on Seton Academy!!! lol.
Tbh though Seton is a below avg anime. Fun to watch but not much else.
Exactly! I really enjoy how they went with the design
I concur. And the female characters aren't overly cute or sexualized either.
@@kevinsullivan3448
Absolutely true. A lot of film companies do those things where they give anthropomorphic animal girls exaggerated boobs and eyelashes, just to clarify to the audience that the animal is a *girl*, because that is something that needs to be established, apparently.

My mind goes strange to the cordyceps fungus where it controls the ant's brain but of course, that is not a parasite.
Some rabbit do kill them self if you corner them
It's because of fear, they want to die faster when they think they have no chance to survive

Carnivores and herbivores: constantly at odds
Omniverse: *just sit back and enjoy the ride*
"Omniverse"
Omnivores is the spelling
Welcome to the Omniverse! Even plants eat each other!
Most humans are omnivores so fellow humans chill back and relax
@@hussainvirk8598 all humans are omnivores lol
Honestly, Beastars being so odd at times makes sense if you watch Baki. It seems that batshit insanity runs in the family.

All but that. Never that.
Okay, I also thought the same thing.
Disgusting
Hey do I want to know
yes
I wonder about the Omnivores, do they think, “Dang everyone be looking good.”
Lmao
Technically kind of in the manga but they usually choose a vegan diet to be accepted by they're herbivore friends. But some do pretend and still vist the black alley market. Omnivores are usually in between and forgetten often times herbivores forget they can eat meat and get more comfortable Because they have a higher ability to just say no like how humans can go vegan and not go bloodthirsty for meat at eat things alive unlike the carnivores in this story.
@@wonderstuck-gg woah
So would it be worse or better to be an omnivore? You can be frowned on by both sides and not choose a side or be frowned on by one side and stick to a side 🤔
@@wonderstuck-gg I don't think the manga has made any distinction between omnivores and carnivores. And when you think about it, all carnivores in Beastars are omnivorous, because while they can eat animal protein, the majority of their diet is comprised of food-stuffs made from plant matter, like pasta, rice, etc (and supplemented by insect protein). I think the logic of Beastars goes like: "If you can digest meat, you're a carnivore", and that kind of pans out, as bears are considered carnivores, even though most beats are omnivorous.

Studio Orange is an amazing animation studio, the way they mix 3D modeling with 2D animation is so seamless that it honestly impresses me so much that this is even possible
My friend tried to look for the Animal Crossing anime and found Beastars instead.
Beastars, Animal crossing.
Same difference.
Generic Name
oh
Bet he got Zootopia when he looked up animal crossing anime
*Zootopia is Evolving with the Sexualized Stone!*
*It has evolved to Beastars!*
*I see no difference*
people can complain about dubs all they want, Jonah Scotts as Legoshi is fucking amazing.
Fuck yes! The voice acting is so good in the dubs.
Watched the whole series on Netflix and started with eng sub and dub on and they say 2 completely different stories it seems like lol decided to go with eng dub. reading is hard
dude lara j miller playing haru is whacky but somehow still fits imho
I like both subs and dubs. I like the dub for this though
Legosi and Haru i found were surprisingly good, Harus semi-nerdy sounding tom boy voice pretty much sold me, i thought it was a welcome version compared to the original and even from the mangas perspective, everyone elses voice and expressive vocals grated on me something bad.
For season two.....if they fuck up Pina and a certain carnivore, im gonna be absolutely pissed.
I stayed up till 5am binging Beastars on a school night once…
I regret nothing
I would rather binge watch documenturies instead.
@Cult Mechanicus
I would rather commit several war crimes.
I'd start making a noose
I just did that today

I watched the anime week ago, both seasons by one sitting. Then read the manga in 2 days. And to say the least I'm beyond *OBSESSED* !!!
Welp, she's a bunny, they reproduice a ton. even Zootopia made a joke about that

I gotta admit, that's one killer plot.
ahhh I see what you did there.
darkly making dark puns, I like it
yeah no
Its a very different concept but has alot of similar things such as a japanes crime family abducting love intrest or the wolf being weird and different but it works on the world they tell. I hate anime imo. But this is slightly different and is enagaging in some ways, i feel some side characters isnt as properly used or taken advantage of
@@OhBoy404 I think when I clicked on your profile it sent me to imdb reviews. (jk no harm I just wanted to joke about the paragraph you made)
beastars is actually one of the only highly sexual animes/shows i've found i can actually watch without being super uncomfortable. so that makes me very happy since i love the anime so much
@Clorox Bleach bruh leave the dude alone
that's cool 👍
I guess food wars must make you highly uncomfortable
@@katherinewilson1444 it did for me :/
@julian brito most of the more adult scenes are actually used to explore the character and the themes of the series.
I don't know how much of beastars you have seen so I don't know if I can give you examples without spoilers
"there are ethical questions being proposed. and the answers are-"
*ad.*
This show is a goddamn enigma to me. It has literally has nearly everything I have should have absolutely no interest in whatsoever: anthro characters, anime, and Japanese school tropes. Yet somehow I can’t stop watching it...
wait - *is this how it starts?!?!*
Same. My wife suggested the show to me but I refused multiple times. Needless to say I've watched the series 4 times and read the manga. I have never done that for an anime before.
@@ebomb1133 I’m on my third rewatch of season 1 and I’m considering getting a vpn so I could start season 2.
*Send help*
Yes, believe me I know what you are going through, but I dug my own hole into anime voluntarily
Beastars just hits different
This is where it starts, yes :)
Zootopia: *Tackles society in a cartoony and child like way*
Aggretsuko: *Tackles society in a wholesome yet mature way*
Beastars : *Tackles society in pretty much every way*
1 furry film and 2 TV series that are really dam good.
I think furry entertainment has found its níche
homie did u not SEE season 3 of aggretsuko,,,, she literally got traumatized
actually... zootopia is basically R A C I S M, and the night howlers are C O C A I N AND C R A C K
or W E E D
Thats the holy trinity of how deep you can fall in the furry hole (just replace the no no's with the "deep ness" and its the same)
Comparing Zootopia to Beastars really makes it stand out how poorly Zootopia bungles its subject matter.
In Beastars, carnivores and herbivores try to live together despite their differences. Society tries to provide protection to herbivores, but also to provide a place for carnivores. But this is really hard, so carnivores sometimes get bullied or discriminated against on the basis of collective guilt, and herbivores sometimes get slaughtered for their meat.
In Zootopia... Psyche! It was actually a conspiracy of evil herbivores using mind control drugs! The differences are merely superficial, and living together is the easiest and coolest thing in the world!
I get that there are limits to what Zootopia could do, being a family friendly movie. But if your project is so constrained that _this_ is the best treatment you can give to your subject matter, then you need to pick a different subject matter.
@@OptimalOwl its a kids movie. Why else would it be like that.
Y'all don't understand, the best OTP is Legosi and his virginity
I will only read the manga once he loses his virginity. Which is never.

Legoshi*
@@splimpy-xo5lx Legosi and Legoshi are right
@MrKaczorek oh in the subtitles it says legoshi
I'm primarily a subber (I love hearing things in their native language and I think it usually gives the punch better, not to mention there are some REALLY bad dubs out there 😬), however Beastars is one of those that is perfect in both English and Japanese! Seriously aside from a few of the translations changing in the voice acting I love them both to death.
Before beastars: I'm 100% not a furry
After beastars: *nervous sweating*
Don't worry, we don't get much furry stuff that is that good.
Especially as the animated Robin Hood reboot is going to be more like a musical than an adventure movie and it looks like it's made for Disney+
Not 100%
Surrre.
Imagine a human appearing in that world: "I have no racial problems, i can eat ALL of you."
Behold, the most dangerous predator has entered the stage!
"I can literally create weapons to slaughter every single one of you"
That'd also add a new world for school shooting

Clownbaby then you don't like anything that is not realistic
In a way i would say that they are the same thing. Both like dressing up in costumes/cosplay. Both have a very big part in the art community too. I guess the main difference is that ones like humans and the others like animals.

i made my 70 year old grandpa watch beastars and it was hilarious. he calls haru "the rabbit hussy"

Your grandfather is great
I'm reluctant to show any of this to even a few family members, regardless if they liked Zootopia or not, lol. You're lucky to have a grandpa who actually watched it. ^^
My grandma would freak out if she saw this.
I love the show's art style, and the plot is interesting. But the dialogue feels like it was written by a well educated, but angsty 16 year old. A character could be getting literally strangled to death, and their inner monologue whilst suffocating would be something like: "The heat coming off his hands felt warm...like a summer's breeze around my neck. Oh well, I had a good run. His colongue smells like roses, I've always loved roses. It all started when..." Like WTF are you talking about?! You're literally dying! I'm embelishing a little bit, but not by much.
It's more about the personality type ya know. I know people get annoyed about this type of talk as well but lemme finish. I personally vibe with his style. I was in trouble so many times but I'm always fascinated by how the other people are acting, their gestures facial expressions. Like I'm literally about to get kicked out of the house. Once I deliberately let COVID in (I have a good immune system and I weaken it bc I was curious) and it was the most miserable experience of my life yet somehow also fascinating. I carefully observed my symptoms and the like.

Brand New Animal*
I adore this show.
The animation is top notch, it's so fluid and smooth, and the animators really add personal touches to each of the animal species to help convey emotion and tone: ear twitches and droops and such, visually representing non visual concepts like what bloodlust and scents are like, and it doesn't have a lot of that choppy, super simplified animation animes do to get humor and drama across. It's all very organic, like how a body should actually move and pose and drift.
The Enligh dubbing is awesome. I'm usually extremely picky about dubs, because sometimes the voice acting just isn't good, or match the character.
It really handles complex, heavy and dark topics really really well: Taboos, deviance, biases, pretending to be something you're not to blend in or to survive, sexuality, teenage coming of age topics, violence, addiction and recovery, all sorts of stuff.
All the characters are sympathetic in some way, even if they're the worst sort of creature (save maybe a few, like the OG Shishigumi leader). They all have depth, personal conflicts and traumas, desires, etc.
I also really like their approach to the love triangle, the ML and FL romance, and then the two main MLs developing friendship. Like Legosi and Louis journey to becoming best friends is really endearing, it doesn't feel contrived. They genuinely develop respect and envy and admiration and eventually affection for one another. They wanna become each other's strengths.
I can't wait until it gets more into the discrimination, societal corruption, and hybrid/mixed species themes, because it just adds so much flavor and depth to the plot.
I just finished season 2 last night and I am rabid for season 3. I've read the manga, and the anime is a very well executed adaptation.
I'm also obsessed with Legosi thanks to the English dub. His voice actor does an incredible job. He is truly one of my most favorite anime characters.
