Description

Beastars”, the anime of the manga of the same name by Paru Itagaki, takes us into a world dominated by anthropomorphised animals. Carnivores and herbivores live together in peace thanks to the strictest laws, but such “coexistence” naturally comes with its own set of problems. Again and again, innocent herbivores fall victim to violent crimes and the illegal “livestock trafficking” flourishes in the shadows of the big cities. In this world, the respected Cherryton Academy set out to be a role model for coexistence, but here, too, the façade slowly begins to crumble …

For the students of the Cherryton Academy, school life is full of dreams, hope and romance – as well as distrust and discomfort … In a school where students are literally divided into “predators” and “prey,” peace is maintained only through the personal relationships between students. But when one day, a member of the drama club is murdered and eaten, the very foundations of the school are shaken. A suspect is found quickly: the wolf Legoshi. Although he insists on his innocence and asserts that he wouldn’t possibly hurt a fly, he finds himself hardly able to hold back his instincts whenever he is near the dwarf rabbit girl Haru. Is the big, bad wolf in love, or does he think of Haru as being “delectable” in a whole different way …?
»Beastars«, der Anime zum gleichnamigen Manga von Paru Itagaki, entführt uns in eine Welt, die von anthropomorphisierten Tieren beherrscht wird. So leben Fleischfresser und Pflanzenfresser dank strengster Gesetze in Frieden miteinander, doch ein solches »Zusammenleben« kommt natürlich nicht ohne seine ganz eigenen Probleme. Immer wieder werden unschuldige Pflanzenfresser Opfer von Gewaltverbrechen und in den Schatten der Großstädte floriert der illegale »Viehhandel«. In dieser Welt hat die angesehene Cherryton-Akademie es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, als Vorbild für das Zusammenleben zu agieren, doch auch hier beginnt die Fassade so langsam zu bröckeln …

Für die Schüler der Cherryton-Akademie ist das Schulleben voll mit Träumen, Hoffnung und Romantik – sowie Misstrauen und Unbehagen … In einer Schule, in der die Schüler wortwörtlich in »Räuber« und »Beute« eingeteilt werden, wird der Frieden nur durch die Beziehungen der Schüler untereinander aufrechterhalten. Als jedoch eines Tages ein Mitglied des Theaterclubs ermordet und gefressen wird, wird die Ordnung an der Schule in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert. Ein Verdächtiger ist schnell gefunden: der Wolf Legoshi. Dieser beharrt zwar auf seine Unschuld und beteuert, keiner Fliege etwas zu Leide tun zu können, doch wenn er in der Nähe der Zwergkaninchendame Haru ist, kann er seine Instinkte kaum zurückhalten. Ist der große, böse Wolf verliebt oder findet er Haru wortwörtlich zum »Anbeißen« …?
«Beastars» es la adaptación al anime del manga con el mismo nombre escrito por Paru Itagaki y nos lleva a un mundo gobernado por animales antropomorfizados. Aquí, los carnívoros y los herbívoros viven juntos pacíficamente gracias a leyes estrictas, pero dicha «coexistencia» obviamente no se mantiene libre de problemas. Frecuentemente hay herbívoros inocentes que caen víctimas de crímenes violentos y en las sombras de las ciudades grandes florece el «comercio de ganado». En este mundo, la prestigiosa Academia Cherryton se ha propuesto ser un ejemplo a seguir en cuanto a la convivencia, pero aquí también comienza a desmoronarse lentamente la fachada …

Las vidas estudiantiles de los alumnos de la Academia Cherryton están llenas de sueños, esperanza y romance, asimismo como desconfianza e inquietud … En un colegio en el que los alumnos son divididos literalmente en las categorías de «depredadores» y «presas», la paz solo se mantiene a través de las relaciones entre los mismos estudiantes. Sin embargo, cuando un día un miembro del club de teatro es asesinado y devorado, el orden en el colegio comienza a temblar hasta sus cimientos. Pronto aparece un sospechoso: el lobo Legoshi. Este insiste en su inocencia y afirma ser incapaz de hacerle daño a una mosca, pero cuando se encuentra cerca de la chica-conejo, Haru, muy apenas puede controlar sus instintos. ¿Acaso se ha enamorado el lobo feroz o se le hace que Haru está literalmente «para comerse» …?
Beastars, l’anime basé sur le manga éponyme de Paru Itagaki, nous entraîne dans un monde régi par des animaux anthropomorphisés. Ainsi, carnivores et herbivores vivent en paix les uns avec les autres grâce aux lois les plus strictes, mais cette « coexistence » n’est bien sûr pas sans poser de problèmes. À maintes reprises, d’innocents herbivores sont victimes de crimes violents et, dans l’ombre des grandes villes, le « commerce illégal de bétail » prospère. Dans ce monde, la prestigieuse Cherryton Academy s’est donné pour mission de servir de modèle de coexistence, mais même ici, la façade commence lentement à s’effriter…

Pour les élèves de la Cherryton Academy, le quotidien scolaire est rempli de rêves, d’espoir et de romance, mais aussi de suspicion et de malaise… Dans une école où les élèves sont littéralement divisés en « voleurs » et « proies », la paix n’est maintenue que grâce aux relations entre les élèves. Mais lorsqu’un jour un membre du club de théâtre est assassiné et mangé, l’ordre de l’école est perturbé jusque dans ses fondements. Un suspect est rapidement trouvé : le loup Legoshi. Bien que le loup insiste sur son innocence et prétende ne pas être capable de faire du mal à une mouche, il peut difficilement réfréner ses instincts lorsqu’il se trouve près de la lapine naine Haru. Le grand méchant loup est-il amoureux ou trouve-t-il littéralement Haru « succulente »… ?

Sempre più erbivori vengono aggrediti brutalmente e nell’ombra delle città fiorisce il commercio illegale di carne d’animale. In questo mondo, la rinomata accademia Cherryton si è posta l’obiettivo di essere d’esempio per la convivenza, ma anche qui comincia a sgretolarsi la facciata …

Per gli studenti della Cherryton Academy la vita scolastica è piena di sogni, speranze e romanticismo – come anche di diffidenza e malessere. In una scuola che letteralmente viene suddivisa in «predatori» è «preda», la pace è salvaguardata solo dalle relazioni d’amicizia degli studenti. Quando però un giorno viene ucciso e mangiato un membro del club di teatro, il controllo della scuola comincia a vacillare. Un sospettato è trovato presto: il lupo Legoshi. Questi insiste la sua innocenza, dichiarando di non essere neanche in grado di far del male ad una mosca. Quando però Legoshi si trova davanti alla signorina coniglietta nana Haru, quasi non riesce a controllare i suoi istinti. Il grande lupo cattivo per caso è innamorato, oppure ritiene Haru nel vero senso della parola un «bocconcino appetitoso» …?

Is it love or future prey? A night changes everything for Legoshi.

Beastars take on anthropomorphic animals is strikingly dark. In its world carnivores and herbivores seemingly live in peace. By law carnivores are forbidden to show fangs to herbivores. A great tension and prejudices remain between them. The wolf Legoshi has to experience exclusion firsthand in everyday life. Not only he is painted as evil, but he really thinks he is. The more time passes, the more he is conflicted. Should he awake the beast deep inside him?

A wolf, the bad guy in fairy tales, is the hero of this show. Legoshi is a well-rounded character. I liked him because of his weak points. Facing all the prejudices, he spends his days in denial playing the weakling. Even if other animals belittle him, he gives his all to avoid fights. But when he meets Haru (rabbit), his true nature shows up. She tickles his inner voice telling him to eat her. That caused some truly nerve-racking scenes between those two. Haru also feels confused by Legoshi. His gaze awakens her flight animal instincts. Usually she would enjoy attention of males at school, but Legoshi is not her cup of tea. Surely, he can be awfully frightening...yet something draws her to him.

All close-ups the anime included were outstanding. Whenever Legoshi smells Haru, he looks frozen in time. Bit by bit his polite façade crumbles and he is put under a spell. I have rarely seen someone's sense of smell animated this detailed. So I think the animations were unique. It was intriguing to see if the friendship works. In Legoshi’s case, he is often about to lose his composure. Thus, focus lies on psychological strains which come along with this bond.

Overall, I'm glad Legoshi was in this show. He worked hard to resist his urge and the hardships he faces as carnivore make one root for him. It was clear he could not sustain his act forever. Reality caught him eventually up. Beastars is not afraid to show his true nature. Without Legoshi, I might not have enjoyed this anime the same way. He was well thought-out. A series about furries may raise prejudices, but I felt the psychological aspect was executed nicely.
