BEASTARS

BEASTARS is a TV anime produced by Orange, directed by Michiya Kato, and based on the manga by Paru Itagaki. Set in a world where carnivores and herbivores coexist under fragile social order, the series blends drama, psychological tension, mystery, and romance into a compelling narrative. Follow Legoshi, a soft-spoken grey wolf, as his unexpected bond with the herbivore Haru forces him to confront his instincts and identity. With series composition by Nanami Higuchi, BEASTARS explores themes of prejudice, desire, and belonging with striking full-CG animation from studio Orange—making it a must-watch for fans of mature, thought-provoking storytelling.

Set in a world where anthropomorphic animals of all kinds live side by side, the delicate coexistence between herbivores and carnivores shapes the very fabric of daily life. At Cherryton Academy, students navigate the bittersweet experiences of adolescence — friendships, fleeting romances, and an undercurrent of anxiety that never quite fades. At the center of this story is Legoshi, a large grey wolf and a quiet member of the school's drama club. His towering frame and sharp features tend to unsettle those around him, yet beneath that intimidating exterior lies a remarkably gentle and introspective soul. Having long since grown used to being feared and avoided, Legoshi keeps mostly to himself. But as he gradually becomes entangled in the lives of classmates who each carry their own hidden struggles, something in his ordinary school routine begins to shift. This is a story about identity, instinct, and the unexpected connections that form between unlikely souls.
