Both are good anime with BNA being heavily focused on action, and superpowers, in comparison to not so a lot of action in Boy and Beast. Beastmen. Well in BNA they live in the same world unlike the boy and the beast and the beasts don't have a 'human' form.
They explore the world of BNA and showcase the extremity of the anima society. There’s child slavery, mobsters everywhere, and death baseball. It’s crazy over the top and I just love it. Plus the anime has some great comedy too. I mean it has frickin Winnie THE Pooh getting his face smashed in by a baseball among other things. It’s hilarious.
But where BNA lacks in battle tactics and strategies, it makes up for in various animal transformations that make each battle incomparable to the last. And with the story integrating offbeat aspects — like an MMA styled baseball game — you are constantly bewildered as to what is going to happen next.
BNA's closest relative inside Trigger would be Little Witch Academia, because both are a solid success in what they set out to be: a garland of light adventures, strung together loosely but comfortably. If you want a story with stronger use of animal elements as a lens for differences of power, gender, and class, look to Beastars.
There's nothing that's new or refreshing brought to the table in BNA, a story in which they could have done so much more with. I really did enjoy BNA. While the plot was obvious, I enjoyed watching the characters navigate the city and explore the world that was laid out.
BNA delivers amazing anime action episode after episode with its fantastic animation and art-style. The human character designs are seemingly harmless for the most part, but once they transform into animals, things can quickly flip.

With the recent premiere of Studio Trigger's BNA: Brand New Animal, a new era for furry anime is officially upon us.
Parents need to know that BNA: Brand New Animal is an anime series about humanoid-like animals who try to peacefully coexist with humans. Expect violence (punching, dragging, weapons like arrows and batons, explosions) and some drinking (celebratory champagne, etc.).
They anticipate the second season to debut soon, as this season has been extremely popular, so BNA creators are motivated to create Season 2. On contrary there are fans who aren't confident about the second season's launch because Studio Trigger doesn't produce second seasons.

'Beastars' Review: Devour This Fantastic Furry Series Immediately, Now on Netflix.
BNA: Brand New Animal is a wonderful, dramatic, fast, and powerful story all rolled into phenomenal animation. July 5, 2020 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review… Tonally lighthearted and visually color-explodey enough to offset the show's high-volume elements.
Parents need to know that Beastars is a Japanese anime series based on the manga of the same name. The original is Japanese-language, but the show is also dubbed into English. The overall tone of the show is dark and mature, with sexual and violent content that's not suitable for young viewers.
You gotta love anime for the wacky, out-there concepts: BNA (short for Brand New Animal) is about a raccoon girl who used to be a human girl, which means she's torn between the worlds of the “beastkins” and humans.

There is an unwillingness among many humans to live peacefully with beastkins. Not all beastkins are good or have the moral high ground. Violence. Beastkins are hunted with arrows and other weapons, and are beaten with batons (although the most violent parts of these acts are not shown).
This entertaining series combines elements of horror, mystery, and superhero stories while addressing issues like racism and bigotry. While humans are presented as the more intolerant species, the beastkins have personalities that match their animal traits. While the divide between humans and beastkins is clear, the beastkin community reveals itself to be complicated and imperfect in its own right, and an interesting world to explore. It is because of this that BNA: Brand New Animal offers a number of interesting storylines that anime fans will find worth checking out.
You gotta love anime for the wacky, out-there concepts: BNA (short for Brand New Animal) is about a raccoon girl who used to be a human girl, which means she’s torn between the worlds of the “beastkins” and humans. This series debuted in Japan earlier in 2020, and now streams on Netflix for international audiences to be delighted and/or baffled.
The Gist: People and beastkins do not live in harmony. Roving packs of human jerkwads vandalize posters like the one described above, and hunt beastkins mercilessly. Our protagonist Michiru Kagemori (voice of Sumire Morohoshi) is a tanuki — Japanese raccoon dog — beastkin trying to make her way to Anima City, where beastkins live peacefully in what appears to be a slightly testy agreement with humans. Cornered by the jerkwads, Michiru is saved by warthog, wolverine (I think) and mink beastkins, who safely ferry her to Anima City.
Fleeing persecution as a beastman, Michiru journeys to Anima-City, where she meets wolf Shirou amidst the celebrations for the city's 10th anniversary.
Michiru can't prove she was human without her stolen student ID, so she heads to Rabbit Town to retrieve it. Shirou meets with the mayor.
The mayor asks Shirou to investigate a series of bombings. Michiru talks her way into joining him, with the goal of protecting a medical center.
Using an illegal SIM card, Michiru befriends influencer Nina, who's fascinated by humans. The two of them sneak out to a party in the human world.
Though she prefers basketball, Michiru reluctantly joins a hard-luck baseball team whose hangdog coach is on the sports betting take.
The Church of the Silver Wolf arrives in Anima-City. Michiru is shocked to learn that their leader is her friend Nazuna, who was once human like her.
Michiru meets albatross beastman Pingua when he crash lands in her house. Shirou has an encounter with Alan Sylvasta in the mayor's office.
Its main drawback is the special and overpowered protagonists, this makes it hard to feel that the characters are on any real danger when they face most challenges.
BNA: Brand New Animal is a wonderful, dramatic, fast, and powerful story all rolled into phenomenal animation.
Taking all the lessons learned on the television adaption of Little Witch Academia, Yoshinari skims off the excess that isn't needed from the plot, and really showcases some raw talent in storytelling and animation. The story is simple and a bit cliché, and the middle is a bit slow. But with these minor flaws, the crescendo of a finale builds into something that is just raw, popcorn munching goodness.
BNA: Brand New Animal season 1 is a good opening story that will hopefully be fleshed out for further seasons.
BL anime is a niche that is rife with a lot if imperfect material, but here are 10 yaoi animes that are unproblematic faves for genre beginners. By Sonal Published Mar 16, 2020. Share.
Sonal is a full time freelance writer from India, who's been writing and editing for over a decade now. If there's a genre out there (that doesn't require her to be a rocket scientist), then she's written on it! And CBR happens to be one of her favorite projects, as she's paid to write about two things she loves - manga and anime.
In certain scenarios they’re young school boys, while in an alternate reality one is a knight in shining armor down on his luck, who can only get in the good graces of his king if he defeats the Devil (who happens to be his love interest). The show has several mini-arcs, all of which are explored intermittently between other arcs, and they constantly keep their fans on their toes.
These days, the manga is credited as a forefather to solid BL representation. It took three decades for Banana Fish to receive an anime adaptation, and the final product, devastating though it is, is a masterpiece.
