SPOILER FREE!

At first I started watching this show ironically since I thought it was going to be some furry shit but I got hooked up with the series from the first episode.

The "worst" thing I can say about this show is the animation, since it's 3D and that bothered me a bit at the beginning but then you get used to it and eventually you end up liking it. What still annoys me is the lion design which is much prettier in the manga but apart from that, the animations are very enjoyable and nice.

Now the story is amazing. It is like a Zootopia, but at the same time it has nothing to do with it. You also have reptiles and birds, but it's not PC like Disney and you get a good taste of reality. I'd say that this is what makes Beastars such a great series. The main conflict and all the drama are so well executed and you could easily associate them with real life important issues. There are scenes which are uncomfortable, "cringy", even disturbing considering that this is about anthropomorphised animals, but they are there for the purpose of making you feel that way and it is part of the theme, so it's very well done.

As regards sound, all I could think of was the intro which is spectacular. You probably have seen it so there's not much to say about this one.

The characters are also very intriguing, well done and even relatable, you may think that this is the typical cliché series of a wolf chasing a rabbit (which it kinda is), but the humanized part of it is very creative and something I've never seen before, maybe because I've never been interested in furry-like content. Also, I like how some things are explained like what do carnivores eat in this world, how the school is organized, etc.

Overall, I give this anime a 9.5/10, if not a ten out of ten. I really liked the first season and I can't wait to see more of it.
