In the 21st century, the existence of animal-humans came to light after being hidden in the darkness of history. Michiru lived life as a normal human, until one day she suddenly turns into a tanuki-human. She runs away and takes refuge in a special city area called "Anima City" that was set up 10 years ago for animal-humans to be able to live as themselves. There Michiru meets Shirou, a wolf-human who hates humans. Through Shirou, Michiru starts to learn about the worries, lifestyle, and joys of the animal-humans. As Michiru and Shirou try to learn why Michiru suddenly turned into an animal-human, they unexpectedly get wrapped up in a large incident.

As expected of the team at [Studio Trigger](https://anilist.co/studio/803/Trigger) the character designs are distinctive, and the animation dynamic. I couldn't think of a single issue with the visuals. The background work is gorgeous, and the various color pallets the show uses are always pleasant t…
Read full review on AniList →You ever watch a series that feels like it tries to juggle too many plot points at once? When attempting to have a full story in the short time span of 12 episodes, you generally want to focus on only a few elements at a time, but this series tried to have its cake and eat it too, with concepts such…
Read full review on AniList →The newest anime produced by Studio TRIGGER, BNA – Brand New Animal is probably one of the most popular 2020 animes as of now. With a unique character design for its protagonist, a different aesthetic compared to recent shows and the potential of being “TRIGGER’s triumphant return”, it’s obvious tha…
Read full review on AniList →BNA was a show that I had minimal expectations of going into. This was my first Trigger show, and although I had heard mixed reviews about many of its shows, I had never actually seen one. The first thing that stood out to me was the art and tone of the show. Although set in a modern day-near futu…
Read full review on AniList →Alright alright. When I first took a glance at BNA, I felt that it was going to be something pretty cool and awesome. Well, was I wrong, or was I right? I’d say neither. BNA is a show that shows the darker side of the world if beastmen really existed. Firstly, I was pretty shocked to find out that…

That being said, I’m definitely looking forward to…
Read full review on AniList →I absolutely loved BNA. Started the show out of boredom and was completely into it after the first episode. The story itself was pretty serious and about some topics we have to deal with in our everyday lives. Things like racism, corruption, religion, politics, life with social media, parenting, f…
Read full review on AniList →# ~~~BNA is a good idea but...~~~ Let's start with something, the single idea of this show sounds pretty good, the concept of beastmen living in a society in which those individuals are not very appreciated could be something that could be used for a good world building and exploration, but everyth…

I'll start from the top, while this may be an erratic kind of review, I would still like to say something about this show. __Face Value__ The face value of BNA (character designs, voice actors, OST, etc.) is very well done. The colors in the show even give off the futur…

Read full review on AniList →I've always liked Triggers work, their artstyle and animation is very appealing to me, so I was going into this series expecting to like it, the commodity of having it complete on netflix and dubbed to give my complete attention to the visuals instead of the subs helped too, I was excited for this s…

Read full review on AniList →**SPOILERS IN REVIEW, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED* * BNA (apparently meaning Brand New Animal, go figure) on a surface level appeals to my viewer sensibilities. Eye-catching animation, a soundtrack by the legend mabanua, and a story that delves into the thematic depths of racial conflict, a bold discussio…
Read full review on AniList →“Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.” BNA: Brand New Animal is ambitious. It attempts to craft a fully-realized setting to explore nuanced political themes such as racism, fascism, eugenics, and activism. Simultaneously, it tells the story of estranged friends, super-powered crime fighters, a gover…
