This Season

The moment Beastars final final season was released, I sped through it like I did previous seasons. The story is too compelling; can’t stop picking up the next episode.

As a whole, Beastars is essentially a crossover of The Dark Knight trilogy and Zootopia. These are two of my favourite movie series, so it stands to reason that I would enjoy Beastars just as much.

Also, it’s not everyday that we see a complete story in anime. I love the closure that comes with the completion of a story.

This final season is not without its flaws (e.g. I felt the last bit was a tad too rushed), but the positives far outweigh the negatives for me. That means that as a whole, it has now earned a permanent spot among my peaks.

Next Season

In stark contrast to this season, the next season is shaping up to be rather light for me. There are only two anime that I would definitely check out:

• Hero’s Rib - The infamous one that everyone is going to check out. Zany bullshit can be very fun to watch. I hope it won’t be a miss.
• Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk - Don’t know anything about it except that it is yuri romcom; I love yuri, and I love romcom.

I am familiar with the manga for Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? and The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch, but

meta spoiler

nothing really happens in these manga. At most, there are some cliche developments that don’t drive the plot forward.

So the anime aren’t worth picking up IMO. I would still continue reading the manga though.

I might pick a few more new anime up, only if they are popular and good enough to get plenty of people singing their praises.
