    apparently dorohedoro, whenever it gets out of netflix jail, has just about as many EDs as it has episodes. Which I just find hilarious.

    That’s a pretty big bounce.

    ~100 chapters is usually when a Jump series gets an anime.

    Finished up Beastars. Fantastic performances, writing, animation, and direction.

    Sure would be a weird one to recommend to normies though

    "What if Zootopia but better and horny" seems like a straight-forward enough pitch.

    Beastars is Zootopia if Disney fully committed to the concept.

    Zootopia is a very direct racial allegory in an attempt to be a "prejudice is bad" story for kids. In ways that can be actually kind of gross under scrutiny

    I would say Beastars actually wants to live in its fantasy world more, where the carnivore/herbivore dynamic has actual weight and isn't so directly mapped to real human racial divisions. The characters and experiences can understood and empathized with in the context of their world, but it's not "the carnivores are black people".

    Not just carnivore/herbivore either, but also animals of differing sizes as well. Again, it's the same concept, but Beastars commits to it fully, with the ramifications of doing so.

    And again: super horny. Sex and violence horny, in a way that only a teenage drama could be.

    I really wanted to like Beastars, but a very specific thing happens in episode 9 which I extremely did not care for.

    Also while it does seem intent to avoid the direct racial analogies that made Zootopia somewhat awkward, Legosi's arc very often links sexual urges with a carnivore's desire to attack and consume a living thing. And...I'm still not sure if that's intentional, but coupled with where the story goes in the last third, made me kinda disgusted with the show and completely drop it.

    I like that for all Char's posturing about the greater good, he's just another terrorist short-cutter like the Zabis he hated so much.
    Amuro went out like a champ.

    Char's Counter Attack has the same problem as a lot of UC Gundam in that it invents trash characters and pulls focus from the ones people give a crap about. The finale of Char and Amuro's private war should not have focused so much on Bright's horrible son and all the trash Newtypes the writers could invent in a half hour.

    I like Zootopia and I have absolutely no qualms saying that Beastars is better written, and the show is more visually interesting. (which is saying a lot, Zootopia's visuals are one of its strengths.)

    Gunnei I think was invented to replace Kamille, which is probably for the best because holy shit Kamille would never help Char do that shit

    Also I am amazed that Beastars is a 3D anime that actually is elevated by being 3D and not like, fuckin stick stickly amateur hour like Berserk was

    Wasn't it done by the same people who did the Land of the Lustrous anime? That was also really good 3D.
