@zonk is that the one where they cut out the intro about how they had to force everybody to wear shock collars from birth to make multiculturalism work

@zonk its insane to me that the writers came up with that and didn't think through the social and political ramifications/parallels and someone had to step in and make them remove it as a major plot point

@zonk Tragically not a police honeypot to make a furry registry

what makes beastars great is that it literally picks up everything zootopia left on the table. it then goes beyond that with it's intentionally offputting animation and it's playing off furry hornitude as psychosexual horror. it's genius.

@WALFTEAM @sun
>intentionally offputting animation
No, that's just the studio being lazy hacks who can't deform the 3D models. There are a few shots in the anime that look fine compared to the manga, but the animation itself is uncanny in an unprofessional way. The characters all move like they're too heavy and slow, and it makes them look half-asleep.

The censorship of blood and guns due to retarded Japanese laws also hurts.

@Hephaestic @sun It does, but I choose to interpret the jankness of the animation as contributing to the alienating and off-putting nature of the setting. Granted, a less censored hand drawn version of the show would unquestionably be better, but in my opinion it's a miracle it exists at all. Beastars is the first truly furry work (using the definition most normal people would use) to break into the mainstream. It figures that the highest positioned J-furries would be the first to achieve this.

@sun @zonk It's not from birth, they got a whole ceremony when a child gets his own collar. There was supposed to be a scene of one where a child gets his first shock because he got too happy.
