BNA: Brand New Animal
Aug. 26th, 2020 09:38 pmWe're not exactly anime connoisseurs, so I don't know how BNA stacks up against other shows. I suspect there are a lot of tropes and plot elements common to other animes and although it was a bit predictable at times, I would have been all over this show if I was a teenager again :-D It's colourful, action-packed and entertaining and really tells a good story.
The viewer travels with schoolgirl Michiru Kagemori as she flees the human world for Anima City after she randomly transforms into an anthropomorphic tanuki or "beastman". Anima City is a purpose built refuge for beastmen who live side by side in a mostly peaceful, but imperfect, existence. She arrives during the city's anniversary celebrations and meets a wolfman, Shirou Ogami, who is a protector of beastmen and the city. The beastmen can appear human or anthropomorphic. The story quickly changes from fish out of water to a funny buddy cop conundrum as Michiru tags along and investigates crimes with Shirou. As she uncovers different parts of Anima City, she also uncovers an twisty, turny conspiracy.
