    Beastars.

    Though I am a little annoyed that
    They didn’t spend much of any time on who was actually devouring students

    Good news is
    from what those pesky manga readers tell me, this is going to be a focus of season 2

    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.

    A lot of Legosis stuff is him trying to figure out the difference between hunting instincts and actual feelings. They go into it a lot more in the arcs after the animes stopping point.

    So, slight problem with Beastars and the discussion above.
    So like, Pandadoc at the Black Market gives arguably the perfect solution to this entire plot.

    “Take this bunny porn. Can you jack it? Congrats you’re just a weirdo. If you can’t you have a REAL PROBLEM.”

    And I keep waiting for this to resolve but it doesn’t HAPPEN. I’m not done with the series yet but so far comeon maaan.

    Also Beastars is Zootopia x Twilight don’t @ me.

    I mean it does become established he has a thing for rabbits. It then just becomes weirdness for haru

    i actually missed some of the subtle gags in a lot of these scenes, like their advisor having totally checked out of the meeting and playing what looks like basically a gameboy under the table

    You can't blame him. His beard is so heavy.

    That's good to hear I suppose.

    Even ignoring that stuff, though, I still kinda hate episodes 9-11.
    Like, they straight up use the sexual assault and impending murder of Haru as motivation for both male leads. It's such a fucking cliche and tasteless way to use her, and it made me drop the show right then and there. I'm honestly shocked that so few people seem to be talking about it, since if someone like Kojima put that shit in their story I guarantee you people would be raking them over the coals for it.

    Mostly it just feels like it doesn't earn the jump they make to turn Char into what he is in CCA

    The general consensus has always been that they really don't.

    Then you get into the weeds of "what subtlely different continuity are you using?" where CCA Char is actually a continuation of the more dickheaded Char from the original TV Series rather than of Quattro (who in turn is a continuation of the movie Char).

    The Origin Char would absolutely become CCA Char, though.





    A Char.

    on the one hand i kinda like how in media res-y CCA is and that you don't really get to see char's complete heel turn and are instead left to speculate (maybe it's because my original viewing order was 0079 and then straight into CCA)

    but yeah it is a bit disjointed
    i've seen some people try to justify it by saying that what happened with kamille just kind of left char fully broken (tho kamille also like... gets better eventually)
    examples

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQMz7YHPIiI

    also with regards to quess, tomino revisited his story years later after he got less depressed and wrote a scenario that was a little more redemptive of the character

    Not sure if Hi-Streamer or Beltorchika's Children goes into it but I'm surprised nobody's done some sort of manga interquel a la Deleted Affair that shows why the turn happened.

    beastars update (spoilers for anime only folks)
    called juno and louis being into each other. called it! her crushing on legosi was mostly pretty superficial, but louis and her developed a weird mutual respect because they have pretty similar strengths and flaws in a lot of ways, even their personalities are really different.

    okay this isn't really a spoiler since i'm not even gonna say who says the line, but this is a really good paraphrased line from beastars:
    "I love this world. I can't say that with a smile like I used to, but if I can say it with a scowl and mean it just as much as I used to, that's fine."

    I really like that sentiment.
