If you love dark backstories, shounen anime, found familes, and adorable/wholesome characters, this anime is for you. I absolutely adore this show and I'm furious that not many people know it exists. This season of anime was strong and because of that, Kemono Jihen got overlooked. The story revolves around 13 yr old Kabane and his search for his parents.

This is not a show that you can fetishize or make cute ships or pretend that everything works itself out at the end. This is a story that is gritty and horrific and so, so, so tragic.
