Reviews & Thoughts
What I can describe Beastars is it's like Zootropolis meets 13 Reasons Why. It's an Anime with your typical highschool drama, but with talking animals! Quite messed up and the animation a little weird, but the storyline was interesting as well as great characters. Worth checking out on Netflix.
The first anime that genuinely interested me and has become one of my favorite series. It truly deserves the praise it receives, so don't listen to those who claim it's just "furry bait"; it is a masterpiece. It’s like an adult version of Zootopia that starts as a romance and evolves into a thriller.
