 We're taught, we watch some anime, uh, we're B-stars way back when the manga was first coming out in Japan and wasn't even officially released anywhere, like in the U.S. There were people in our forum who were posting screenshots of it, like screencaps of it from the digital bootleg fan sub, or fan translations they were reading because it was that good and they were like that obsessed with it. Yeah, this is definitely a title manga anime-wise that I heard about and saw about coming way in advance. Like it was like, uh, it was hot and on fire when it was a manga, right? People were all over it, uh, and then Netflix grabbed it, right? So they call it a Netflix original, but like, is it really original? You didn't write it, like, you know, for the Dracula thing, it's like, you know, Netflix paid for it to be created from nothing, right? I guess they didn't create Castlevania itself, but it's original Castlevania story. It's not an adaptation. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's superficially Castlevania 3, but, right, like this is not an adaptation. This is literally, I mean, this is an adaptation. It's literally- I was about to say, where are you going with this? The manga, the manga, I don't, yeah, the manga is turned into an anime straight. I don't know what changes there were because I haven't read the manga, but I can't imagine that they were major changes. It definitely feels like manga writing to me. But basically there was a long slow burn where like everywhere I look and our forum on Twitter, there was this handful of people that was slowly growing that were obsessed with this manga that wasn't out in the U.S. yet. And there's so much media out these days that even if I see something like that, I tend to just wait for an official release. Well, also, I guess kept seeing, really, I just kept seeing the imagery, right? I kept seeing the imagery of this, you know, wolf dude and this bunny girl, right? And the all-in-deer guy. Those are the three people I see. And I could tell that, okay, whatever this is from is clearly dark, right? And sexual in some way, whatever it is. I would describe the vibe I got as psychosexual thriller with anthropomorphic characters, right? And maybe it has some sort of horror element that I didn't know, right? Yeah, that's just the vibe I got from all this artwork and images I saw around. You know, and it was a Netflix, I guess, original, right? And that Netflix paid an OAN instead of an OAV. I guess, you know, Netflix said, OK, we'll license that manga and we will pay for a production of an anime based on that manga. And the first season, 12 episodes is out and I watched a few. And then because they had nothing else to do, I watched all 12. Yep, we won't spoil anything at first, but we'll spoil a few things toward the end of the episode, because I want to talk about a few series that I thought were particularly good. But we'll spoil this stuff because I want to review it because not everyone's seen it yet first. Right, it wasn't it wasn't one of those things where it was so good, like I was gripped and had to watch every episode, right? If I was for me, it was that. OK, I was like, I could not wait to watch the next episode. If I wasn't stuck at home, I don't know if I would have watched every episode. It had been a little borderline, right? But it was definitely good enough for me to not stop watching it. It's not like I went, it's not like I went, oh, I'm going to watch something else. This is me. I guess the way I'd pitch it, like what the deal with it is that one, it's very high production value, like the animation is phenomenal. It's 3D, but it looks great. Right. So animation wise, it's obvious they're using, you know, fully CG animated characters, right? But, you know, there's some anime or animations that are, you know, toy story. Like, yeah, this is 3D and you know, it's 3D. Yeah, it's like. Or the new Ghost in the Shell, which we will not be reviewing on Geek Nights, probably. Yeah, probably not. But it goes in the shells relevant to the Beastars in a small way. The it's also not one of those ones where, OK, it's a 2D anime, but we're using the computer to help us out, right? Like, you know, every 2D anime these days, right? Pretty much every single 2D anime, 2D anime these days is animated on a computer digitally. It's just they're using 2D animation techniques and not 3D ones. Or maybe they are using some 3D ones, like maybe like Aizou Ken has, you know, you can see there's some 3D going on, right? But what you get here in Beastars is clearly 3D, right? Like Toy Story, it's fucking 3D CG animated anime series. But I don't know, you know, the shading or whatever they're doing. Like the movement too, like the animation. Rarely, it rarely looks like it, right? Well, even it's more that it's the characters are like hyper expressive and have very subtle movements and very like everything's very subtle and well done. Yeah, I mean, you it's like usually when you're watching one of those 3D animated series or if you see a still image from one, it's like, you know, it's right. You get still a lot of stills from Beastars, like random ones. And some of them you'd be able to tell and a lot of them you wouldn't. Yeah, and usually usually the times I can tell the most are when like people are walking and their feet are in the scene. And sometimes like the way the clothing will move, right? And those sorts of things will sort of give it away or distract your eye a little bit. You know, I saw some like pixelation types of things going around. You're like, you know, the bottom of someone's pants and those sorts. You know, action scenes you can sort of tell a little bit. But, you know, for the most part, it's like, you know, it's it's a it's mostly a talking heads kind of show. Yeah, like what's it really about? Like if you follow the show, it almost goes through a progression of like it's about a lot of different things and it evokes a lot of like memories of other shows, but in very like, well, we'll get into it. So first, it's kind of just a school drama, literally about a bunch of kids in the drama club in a private school, like it's ostensibly about that. And that's where the story starts. And that's where a lot of just the action happens. Like there's just a bunch of people and they're in this drama club and one of their classmates got murdered and there's a story around that. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. But the way that story is told and the way it's framed because it's kind of an isolated private school, there's definitely a you're you're in the school or you're outside of the school. And these are very different worlds, very utena situation. It's utena, both in the way it's portrayed, like their parents aren't really present. The kids are on their own. The student council is capitalized as capitalized C matters. Capital M. There wasn't really a student council. Well, there's almost like the drama club is the student, the student council. Well, yeah, the drama club is basically the student council because Louis is in charge of it and is terrifyingly powerful, dear. Yeah, but that all bleeds into real world politics a little bit. It gets a little complicated. But the way some scenes are shot, too, like it'll do that utena thing where background characters just have blank faces. It'll like it'll really do the kinds of artistry that utena does to make points, to focus your attention, to like drive the allegory of what's happening in a scene. It does. It even has it even has a crazy random tangent, right? About eggs. It does, in fact, have the Nanami tangent with that. Nanami tangent as soon as that happened. I was like, that's the egg. Yeah, there it is. But it also does the thing that it does that Princess Tutu does where there is a play that they are performing in the first part of the show and they perform it twice. But what is happening in the play is definite allegory to what is happening in the show. Oh, yeah. And what happens in the play affects the real world directly. It's a lot of these antenna aspects going on. But then fast forward a little further. Watch more of the show. It's also about this psychosexual tension between predators and prey. It's almost like a world where vampires live alongside regular humans. And people get murdered kind of all the time in society. Just kind of agrees that's just happening. It doesn't really worry about it. What it is, it's like Utena and to where, you know, there's, you know, the surface thing going on. And then it's like, actually, there's all kinds of dark shit going on. People keep it hush hush or it's hidden from you. And it's sort of like a terrible secret of space, but it's not. But it gets into like all these ideas of like oppressor versus oppressed and predatory classes versus like predated upon classes. Right. Well, you think it's a class thing. I think when I say classes, the thing is it does not map. And this is the most important thing. It does not map one to one to real world oppressions. It is a complex map of its own devising. Well, I think what more than a class thing, right? Because everything's a class thing. I think what it's really about is, you know, you have a society, right? And in human society that we live in, right? People have are still animals, right? A human being is an animal, right? And we still have this is like, you know, super old Freudian nonsense. Right? You know, you still have these animal instincts that you have because you're a human being who is an animal. Yeah. And oftentimes those animal instincts, those, you know, urges your lizard brain has, right, are contrary to the rules and practices of society that your conscious brain wants to follow. But at the same time, some of those things may or may not be innate or natural. And some of those things may just be created by society and perception. Sure. But the point is, is that by making a show in which everyone is literally a furry animal of some kind, humanoid, you know, anthropomorphic animal, right? And they're all mixed up together, right? All these different animals are forced to live together peacefully, right? And they have to repress, they have to repress their instincts, right? As animals to eat each other or do whatever their animal thing is, right? To live peacefully together, because normally, right? You know, the Cromarty, the rabbit in the lion's den. That's some fucking rabbit that doesn't get eaten in the lion's den. But I guess at the same time that. But look at that from the lion's perspective. That's some fucking lion that doesn't eat a rabbit. But that structure lets it explore these really interesting issues, because in the world of Beastars, some of these instincts are real, physical manifestations like you can. The predator drive is like legit real. It's like you can't. The show will not argue that there is a like social construct around that. But I mean, it's real for a real wolf, too, in the woods. Yeah, but I'm saying the hungry wolf is going to eat you. But in the show, they use this. So you've got a human as character who has, you know, who is sentient, who has these real drives. But simultaneously, some of the things that are going on with what these characters feel is either performative or clearly is driven by society. So it starts mixing up gender roles, predator, prey roles and just societal roles together. And because they don't map one to one with the real world, it ends up letting you explore things that we don't have real world analogies for. Right. Well, I mean, it's just by combined, you know, just bringing the animal metaphor on top of humanity, right? Just makes it way more complicated, but also way more sort of obvious and visible, right? And it especially applies when you look at like the messaging around, you know, vegetarian slash veganism, right? You know, the society makes it so no one's allowed to eat any meats, right? Because meat is someone else, even though there were insects that were not sentient. I just want to point that out. Yeah, we'll just let that be. There's no buggy. That's a Pokemon question. There's there's mammals and there's birds and that all other all other animals are not. Oh, was there a lizard person? I don't remember. I don't remember if there's a lizard person, but there's there's definitely mammals and birds. I don't know if there's anything else, regardless. Oh, but there's no monkeys. Maybe there is. Maybe we're ever seen, I don't know. But like, let's look at the main character regardless, to see where I'm getting at this with is not having a one to one mapping. So we've got the main character is this shy, quiet wolf guy who's just full of teen angst, like he's just an angsty teenager. And that's his main thing. He has a real predator drive where he's a big, giant, powerful, scary wolf. And he loses control of himself and almost eats a classmate. Like that happens. Right. He's trying not to, right? It's like he doesn't, you know, his conscious brain doesn't want to. But his animal instinct is, I'm a big, scary wolf. Going to blow your house down, but simultaneously it gets more complicated because there's another wolf in the show who is a female wolf who expresses and feels that instinct very differently and acts very differently, even though she may be feeling very similar. They like the two characters, despite both being wolves, have very different problems to solve, approach them very different ways and perceive themselves in the world around them differently. So already it's not as simple as a wolf's feel this pressure. But the, but also a lot of the other predators have this McKizmo and this bravado and they fight with each other in ways that this angsty wolf does not want to. He's not interested in all this nonsense. He almost doesn't want to be the what he doesn't want to fill the role that society says predators should fill. Right. Well, his body does. His body does. His mind is conscious. His conscious brain does not. His conscious brain wants to be like a nice guy hanging out in society. Everyone gets along peacefully. But his body sometimes doesn't let him because it's a big, scary wolf body. And it almost gets into it's not the feminine mystique, but it's a similar that idea of some of the things he feels are intrinsic and real to his physical form. And some of the things he feels are societal roles that he rejects and are not intrinsic to him. And the show does a really good job of exploring the interplay between these two ideas while everything develops. Right. And it's not a it's, you know, I don't know if dysphoria really applies because it's not like he doesn't want to be a wolf or he feels like he's not a wolf. But he doesn't want to be like the jack wolf who's fighting with everyone for fun like that other. Right. Exactly. He's not he's not like I'm not a wolf. I'm I'm actually something else. Right. He's like a wolf can be like me. Not all wolves have to be like he just doesn't like some of the baggage that comes along with being what he is. Right. And then you've got the dear guy. If you see photos of this guy, Lewis, who's another one of the main characters, he is a prey animal who is both jealous of and fearful of the power that predators have, like the raw physical power. And there is there is a an extreme psychosexual tension between him and Legosi. Everybody. Well, every single one between everybody and everybody. Sure. If I had to describe the show in one sentence, these animals in school have psychosexual tension with every other animal in the school. Right. Oh, what I was saying about the the vegetarian vegan thing. Right. It's like, you know, in the real world, you know, it's a it's a difficult topic to discuss with people. Right. Because it's like, you know, clearly there's that element of, you know, you know, there's some natural aspect. It's like, yeah, lions just eat other animals. It's just what they do. Right. And we don't apply a moral thing to that. Right. But humans, we know better. Right. And it's like, yeah, raising all these cows, right, destroys the environment. Right. It's we're treating some of the animals badly. There's all sorts of other things going on, but also we're smarter than the cow. Yeah. Right. So here, by turning on its head a little bit, it's like, OK, well, animals are actually, you know, it's not like in the in the real world, we debate like how, you know, is it OK to eat the cow? Because it's not so smart. Right. Would you eat another person? No. Right. Yeah. Here it's like, well, the cow is as smart as you and you're a lion. It was also smart. Right. You're a lion person and a cow person. Is it OK for that lion person to eat a cow person? Yeah. Right. Or you want to see how dark the show gets. A question that might be asked even in the show is, is it allowable for a cow person to sell themselves to be eaten? Is that OK? Right. And you basically get all it's like, well, now it's now it's tough, right? You still have that same thing where it's like, yeah, it's only natural for the lion to eat the to eat the wildebeest or whatever it is. Right. But when they're both have human intelligence, it's like, oh, it's not OK. OK. It's not OK. You decided. But now the lion is what's he going to eat? Yeah. Right. And now the lion's all all messed up inside. Right. The strong animals. Right. The carnivorous animals, you know, they're repressing their these instincts. Right. And they have difficult lives, even though they're powerful in society. And the prey animals. Right. They're sort of like, OK. Right. We can, you know, they're always afraid. Right. Of these carnivorous animals. Even if they don't actually get eaten, although sometimes they do. Yep. Right. So they're sort of repressed in society, you know, societally, even though they're natural instincts on the inside of them, they don't have to repress those in any way. And then it maps gender and sex on top of all of that because the third main character, the rabbit girl, she's a small she's a dwarf rabbit. She's like the weakest of the week physically. But yeah, she's not even like small and the strongest of the strong. Right. Small and weak, even for a little rabbit. It's like smaller than all the other rabbits. And you see all these dynamics of like the larger rabbits bully her. She is definitely shamed for being sexually promiscuous. Right. She's all alone in the gardening club. She's the only member of the gardening. She has complicated relationships with her own reality as a prey animal and her complicated relationships with the nature of predators around her, but also with other prey animals around her. She does not live up to the societal expectations of her her animal nature or her gender. Right. But like everyone else, she still has problems, you know, with the conflict between what her body will do on its own because it's a rabbit body and that's it does what it does versus what her brain wants to do. Right. You'll see her behave drastically differently. Right. It's like when she has, you know, conscious control over the things she says and does, like she's all bad ass and whatever. When she stands up to a certain unnamed character in episode near the end, something right. Yeah. That's a good scene. Exactly. But then sometimes like her body will just do something like run away, which is, you know, like a rabbit and hide where she's sitting with a ghost and cower, which is uncharacteristic. Like her foot keeps moving uncontrollably. Yep. Because her body is scared because it's a big bad wolf right in front of her. Yeah. So her leg keeps trying to run away, even though she has no desire to run away. She's just chilling and eating nice lunch with somebody. So all of that alone can make a pretty compelling like thrillers set in a high school like that's enough, right? And there's so many different things, you know, you can you can say with that setup, you know, about human society. Yeah, you can make you can make a call like a hundred episode series just with that, but that kind of just sets the stage for what the show seems to really be about because even in this first season of the anime by episode nine, the school politics are intersecting with the real world politics. The the Pat, like the dearest path, Lewis's path through being the head of this drama club and getting out of the school is like a political path where he is working with the mayor, who is a lion, who is like legit connected to the mafia. And that matters directly in the show pretty early on. And then that starts getting into this interest. Yeah, it's the it's the yakuza. It's not the mafia. Well, yeah, it's the yakuza cry. It's well, the shishi Gumi in particular, one criminal organization. Yeah. But all of that starts happening and the show starts to get a little broader in scope that it's not just going to be about these angsty teenagers dealing with this society, it's starting to show this class separations of the school is almost literally a fantasy world compared to the real world outside it. Right. Much like a new final. Right. And the final thing is the title of the show, which is Beastars. Right. How many times does an anime say the name of the anime in the show? And it is not terrible. Right. So during the show, several times, it comes up that some animals are, you know, some people, whatever they want to call them, are become somehow become the Beastar or Beastars. Right. You don't know how many there are one at a time. Who's the current Beastar? It's not even a dress not revealed a lot about it. It evokes for me, even in Utena, the like have the ring go into the castle. Well, what does that mean? I don't know. But I don't know what does it mean to be the rose I want to I want to win the rose bride. It's like that's the same idea. It's like this. Some of the people want to become the Beastar or Beastars. There is some unknown process by which you become it. There is some unknown thing you gain by being it. You don't know who is it and it appears that what you don't know when real power like that's a very important point kind of like in Utena. The characters are seeking real power, not the power in this fantasy world, but power over the real world to right some wrong or fight some injustice. All we know is that you can become the Beastar somehow. The path to becoming it involves being popular and or powerful or well liked. And making horrible deals with bad people, because that's what adults do outside of the fantasy world of the school. Right. But doing underhanded things possibly to get ahead. It's not entirely clear, but what is clear is that like, yeah, you can see that the main event of the show, which isn't addressed in season one and all other than showing you that it's sort of on the horizon is the battle to see who will become the Beastar and all that entails. But I think it's somewhat transparent that there are some characters who are clearly set up and are actively a like front runners for becoming Beastar and be actively trying. Well, remember that is their goal are in a clearly extremely expensive like private special school, right? But I mean, it's a cliche that, you know, in a lot of stories to have something like this where you see some characters who are trying to become the Beastar or a Beastar and are also just feel like they're close to it. Like, yeah, they're probably in the lead or whatever it is. But you just know that the unexpected character who isn't even trying, who's like the main character will be the one, right? It's the same as like, oh, yeah, the kid in the class who is obviously the main character of the show, but isn't as strong, fast or smart. They're the magical person, right? You know, that's how it's going to be. That's the cliche of cliches. And I would be very surprised if the show did not adhere to that cliche. If it made, if one of the front runners was the one to become the Beastar or be whatever, I would be quite surprised or will it focus more on what I foresee this was very foresee happening. More is it focusing on how much of your principle do you sacrifice to get that real power and become the Beastar and was it worth it? Right. And, you know, some of the characters say, ask some interesting questions that are never answered. Mike is like, why do we have Beastars in this world? Right? It's like, it's like what? It's like, I don't even know what the Beastar is. That doesn't mean anything to me. Or when, you know, the primary arc of the end of the first season where a character gets kidnapped and the yakuza get involved and there's trouble. There's a scene between one character and the mayor where the mayor sort of reveals some dark shit about the world like openly. And like, this is the price of power. Do you not want this power? Like, are you going to? The mayor is a mayor. The mayor is not a Beastar. Yeah. But the mayor has power. But the mayor is not that power. That power is special. And if there are Beastars out there, it's like, where the hell are they? How can they not do anything about it? And also, how real if they even have that power? It's very clear that a big theme in the show is to is also going to be as it goes on, how real is the peaceful facade of this society? Because it's increasingly clear, especially after you get to episode nine, that the coexistence of predator and prey in this universe is not at all peaceful and is not fucking working. And there's also lots of instances of segregation around. Yes. And the segregation is along racial lines, gender lines, class lines and other lines to be determined. It's not it's not like extreme apartheid, right? It's like, yeah, you're living next to each other, right? We see wealthy and powerful animals of all species, right? A lot of species stick together. There does seem to be some amount of prejudice against interspecies relationships. There seems to be these sorts of things. So it's like it's there, right? It's like, oh, yeah, this school is special because it has carnivores and herbivores together. Oh, so other schools don't. Other schools like a carnivore only school. It's one of those things where you watch the show. The advice I give you, I don't think we're going to do like an Utena style, like tear down of the show because I just don't have the energy right now. I got other things to finish. But this show will definitely, as you watch it, think about what questions get raised by the show, but don't get answered by the show and think a lot about what doesn't get talked about. I think that's yeah, it's definitely a show. I think that's actually maybe a flaw in the show is at least so far. Season one is that it's really great at asking questions and showing sort of a both sidesy kind of thing, right, but not having an opinion. Well, I think it doesn't really come out and say what like what it believes. It's just like, oh, look at this. That makes you think, huh? Well, I think it's too soon. But you think about that because right now it's all the all those questions are really just being raised in the course of following these angsty teenagers trying to navigate this possibly fucked up world. So the primary focus of the show so far as what we've seen is really on how do these three characters navigate this world? Can they even change this world? So season two on Netflix is definitely coming. I don't know how many Netflix seasons they'll make. But I wonder if it was crazy popular. Sure. But would it be better to wait for season two or would it be better to abandon Netflix and read the manga because, you know, the manga is way ahead of Netflix. I am so far planning to just watch the show because the thing one thing that struck me about the show from a reviewing standpoint is that almost every episode, just when I thought, OK, I see where this is going. Something would escalate way faster than I expected or something would happen that I did not expect at all. And the show would swerve into a direction that I would I did not anticipate the sanctuary-esque thing that happens in episode nine. Like at all. And those and there's a lot of shocking moments that have a lot of impact. The anime portrays them really well. Things like characters will say something that even as the viewer, you almost double take for a second like, wait, what did they just say? What just happened? So I always want to experience that with the rest of the show and not read the manga. So the thing that I think will keep me watching the show, which I alluded to earlier briefly, is the ghost in the shell connection. Is that the best character in the show, the panda. Oh, you love that panda. I do. I enjoy the panda. I saw him to be what he was before they revealed what he was like. I could see where that character was going. The panda that clearly is just Bato from Ghost in the Shell is obviously voice acted right down to like, do I need to go help that kid? It is voice acted by Akira Otsuka, the voice of Bato. When he shows up at a particular moment with his band, the same character. It's the same voice actor. It is the best character in the show. All the other characters in the show have sort of, you know, good points and bad points or not like them. Lewis is the interaction. That's that's just rim the character because he is. He's Toga like he's the Toga character in Toga, less evil Toga. Well, Toga, who might be good, it might be bad and it's questionable. The thing is, I don't know if you will, if Lewis will end up being a better person than Toga or a worse person than Toga because the show leaves that ambiguous at the end of season one. What decisions the deer might have made relative to other things that were happening at the time by being circumspect because you got to go watch the show. Yeah, I mean, that is I think that definitely is one of the better, like, you know, not favorite character like Panda. Yeah, but like better written characters, right? It's because you don't see too often, right? Someone like that is usually going to be like a Toga where it's like, OK, they're the secretly evil student council leader or the stern sort of maybe looks like they're bad, but they're actually good. Lewis is genuinely conflicted and complicated. Right, exactly. Does the changes my but that that conflicted, complicatedness rarely is combined with that personality, right? Personality and that position is usually in anime stories, especially aligned with a particular kind of character. And Toga is at no point conflicted with himself until the very end of the show. Oh, what about that whole part of the millery? He says they're doing nothing. Oh, yeah, where he just lost himself, but he's not conflicted. He's just lost maybe he doesn't have to make a decision. He's just done the thing. Anyway, it's coming. Turns out becoming the Beastar. Is that what's going to happen? Is Lewis just going to be lost for season two and come back in season three? Did you see the preview? Toga style. Oh, there's a preview at the. If you if you watch the credits at the end of the end of the last episode, there's a stinger that is basically the opening scene of season two. And a character who has clearly taken a lot of pain killers shows up and you just see a POV shot of Legosi turning around and saying, oh, hey, welcome back, basically, like, where were you? Oh, there's a and then it ends with see you in season two. Oh, yeah, I did see that, but it wasn't. It does not show you who that character is. I'm just assuming who that character is. I may be wrong. OK. But like I did watch that. But the cool thing is all of the main characters and all of the side characters, like even that chicken, they're way more complex and have way more depth than most shows would ever give characters with that little screen time. Yeah, they definitely if a character shows up on screen even briefly, there's like a and has a face and a name. And they bothered to come up with something about them. That is somewhat interesting. No character is something to chew on. Right. Like the girl shows up. Oh, she's flirting with Legosi. I see what's happening. The next scene, her and Lewis have a moment and you might think that moment is going to be the moment you're expecting. It might be, in fact, the exact opposite of what you were expecting. And you learn a lot about that wolf character and things are not what they look like. Right. But this point is if someone appears like this, there's something to chew on for any character. If there isn't, then they don't bother to draw them and put them on there. Yep. If you see those characters at all, they're literally just like faceless Utena background people walking by. Yep. All right. So I need food. OK, I love the hell out of the show. I highly recommend you watch it. But fair warning, this show is dark. There are you have to deal with themes of. It's not for kids. Cannibalism, rape, sexual violence, violence, violence, death. Characters die, there is blood and go. It is a rough show. You've got to be ready pretty much every every warning you need. This is a tense, psychosexual thriller. Yeah, this is like almost perfect blue level warning here. Yeah. So be ready for that. Like, be ready for the show to be maybe should have said that at the start. I mean, well, if anyone tries to watch it, Netflix will warn them. Oh, that's true. Netflix has a pretty long list of here are the things in the show you got to be ready for. Good job, Netflix. So, yeah, I do recommend this is one of the better anime to come out in recent memory. It is one of my favorite anime in a while. It's a very rim anime. It is a very rim anime. I am deep into this.
