1. SYNOPSIS

"One night at Cherryton Academy, an herbivore student is brutally murdered. Among the members of the Drama Club, the herbivores’ suspicions naturally turn to their carnivore classmates… The prime suspect? Wolf Legoshi. But he wouldn’t hurt a fly. Or would he? Will dwarf rabbit Haru bring out the beast in him? Or are his feelings for her…something else?"

In a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, herbivores and carnivores coexist with each other. For the adolescents of Cherryton Academy, school life is filled with hope, romance, distrust, and uneasiness.

The main character is Legoshi the Gray Wolf, a member of the drama club. Despite his menacing appearance, he has a very gentle heart. Throughout most of his life, he has always been an object of fear and hatred by other animals, and he's been quite accustomed to that lifestyle. But soon, he finds himself becoming more involved with his fellow classmates who have their own share of insecurities and finds his life in school changing slowly.

2. FIRST IMPRESSION

I'm not a big fan of Furry Anime. In usual scenario, I either skip the whole show or rarely, after a single episode, but damn! Beastars left an impression, I'll curse myself for skipping any furry show. Well, with that being aside. About "Beastars", it is staged in a world where all kinds of animals, whether it's Carnivorous or herbivorous, they all live in the same society, together. Obviously, everyone is supposed to live peacefully without promoting any kind of violence against the lower food chain animal; as it'd be considered the utmost crime. 

Legoshi, a very kind and gentle wolf who was always hated for his menacing appearance has now adapted himself to be feared. However, this seems to change in his adolescence at Cherryton Academy, when a friend of his was murdered or rather say, eaten alive in the school premises by a carnivore. Despite how Mystery genre Anime it may sound, Beastars is actually an Anime which explores the Romance, hope, Insecurities of other species succeeding with Trill, Drama and Slice of Life.
