Honey’s Highlights
I had the chance to watch the first episodes, and now I'm such a fan of Shirou Ogami. Yoshimasa Hosoya's voice is the cherry on top of it!
Another show about anthropomorphic animals, with a wolf as the lead character. Is this BEASTARS second season?
Well, although the universe is different, there's a similar conflict. I hope BNA gets as good as BEASTARS or Cop Craft.
All I care about is my badass white wolf! Give me more!!!
Three Episode Impressions
BNA's first episode is not the best opening episode ever, but at least you learn something: Shirou Ogami will be your favorite character this season, and nothing is changing that. The co-protagonist, though, is a tanooki-like girl named Michiru, and soon we discover she used to be a regular human.
The hatred between humans and beast-men is not new to anime, but here we have a mystery involving a powerful medical group that's trying to hide something... oh, and a lot of corruption in what seems to be a paradise for beast-men. Three episodes are enough to show where BNA is going, and what it's trying to achieve. At the same time, now we know how badass Shirou is and how cool everything looks when this show gets brutal. And yeah, it does get brutal! Of course, Trigger is in charge of it, so that's another good sign!
