Legit though, I really enjoyed this show

[Lumosnight]

The female rabbit instinctually sleeps around, just like actual rabbits do. The female wolf instinctually jumps on the male she likes because female wolves are the ones who make the first move and pick their mates.

Fun fact: In Japan the white rabbit is a symbol of feminism.

I hear random people in bookstores look at Beastars and say "Oh, that's just some weird furry story." I'm glad more people have been watching it.

The most impressive part is clearly the artists’ ability to draw animal heads from the front

[CrystalDragonBook]

I’m gonna say this now. With the you can be rough, I can handle it scene, the wolf (legoshi) actually turns down the offer, and instead wraps her in a blanket and leaves.

"Bunny boobies!"

"The characters are really well fleshed out--"

Okay. The juxtaposition of these sentences made me laugh.

[themax]

Bambi: my mother got shot
Louis: that’s rough buddy

Seeing a famous manga artists wearing a chicken mask is a sight that brings me true joy

I. LOVED. Haru's sexuality. Beastars is the only show I think I've ever seen where a woman is promiscuous as a means to empowerment or security. You don't end up hating haru for her sexuality, in fact you really understand why she does what she does and she's a really sympathetic character. I think that's actually a huge function of sexuality and why people resort to/utilize sexual promiscuity that people don't explore much on TV because they can't get past the taboo of it.

Fun fact about herbivores, especially ones like deer… they sometimes do eat smaller creatures. Deer eat bones for the calcium and there’s even a video going around of a deer just… munching away on a bunny carcass for the fact it was low on calcium

[ComicalRealm]

Before Beastars: "I'm not furry."

After Beastars : "I'm not furry, but..."

[Fishy]

Herbivores: Oh no, carnivore scary

Carnivores: Oh no, herbivore tasty

Omnivores: *Must suck to be you guys*

[OneSpikeyGuy]

I dont think Beastar really is about racism. Actually, itd be quite odd to see it that way considering carnivores arent unjustifiably feared. They have actual instincts, physical superiority (at least in terms of strength) and needs. Ones they can somewhat control but are still present

Id say its more about deviance. In all its forms. It being sexual, in demeanor (aggressive, domination, submission, carnal desires, ideals)societal influences and image, gender roles, discrimination, biology even.

[skyraider]

Ok, but the English dub is actually incredible. They hired possibly the best actors they could get. Also, I have one serious question about the carnivores vs herbivores balance: where do scavengers, like vultures, fall in that system? Or characters like Jack, who, as a Labrador retriever, doesn't have the same instincts as someone like Legoshi? It really makes you wonder what kind of struggles they're having, doesn't it?

Quoting a friend of mine: "Beastars is like Zootopia for degenerates"

Guess I am a degenerate then.

EDIT. So, just to clarify, she loves both Zootopia and Beastars and made that comment jokingly.

Thanks for the likes, tho.

[erinbuxton]

The thing I really like about Beastars is that the female characters don't look like cute humans with animal ears while the guys look completely animal. Both sexes actually look like animals but you can also tell the difference between the two with small details :)

[fox]

when you get the mindset "oh is all furry stuff!" out and start watching the show and hearing the story, is freaking great

[skybladebloodheart]

one of my favorite things about beastars is it can stand on its own its its own story in its own time, in its own world and even without directly using them to shine a light on real world societal things or focusing on that relation, it connects with the viewer it gives them something unique and interesting another world that has its own problems but is more then interesting enough to hold your attention, something even an edgy escapist can get into <3, cause it can be about real world problems, but it doesn't have to be.
