Past Seasons

I completed Beastars season 2 over the past week, and it still got me hooked as much as season 1.

However, there were a few points in the show that annoyed me enough to ruin my immersion.

Here are some snippets of my stream of thoughts as I was watching it:

Beastar season 2 episode 4 spoiler

Legosi bit a huge chunk out of his attacker. It should be very obvious who the attacker is because of his injury, or because he skipped school to hide his injury. Why don’t Legosi want to stay in school to find out?? Or at least tell a teacher!! Wtf. I hate it when serious characters lose their brains.

Beastar season 2 episode 5/6? spoiler

The anteater is an insectivore, making him a carnivore, but they are treating him like a herbivore??? Also, looks like some non-insect-eating carnivores would eat bugs occasionally, and they are real casual about it. Last I heard, non-vertebrates are animals too. What’s this discrimination???

Beastar season 2 episode 7/8? spoiler

WhyTF did Legosi and pretty boy not tell a teacher or any other responsible adult after they found out who the culprit was??!!

I know the show did address my complaints after the immediate episodes, but I found the way they did so unsatisfying.

The one that takes the cake was

Beastar season 2 episode 11? spoiler

the divine moth that appeared in Legosi’s dream to justify him taking insects lives. My mind was blown at the hypocrisy. Like no. Just no.

Despite my complaints, I still enjoyed it so, so much.

Plus, the opening song - Monster by Yoasobi - is a banger.

I am so looking forward to the final part / season to drop before starting on the next one.

Unfortunately, because of the annoyances, I will be docking a point from its final score, making it a 9 / 10 - for now; I may change my mind later.

This Season

I dropped I’ve Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level Season 2 after the first episode.

Looks like I have gotten bored of the chill, do-nothing slice-of-life genre.

Miscellaneous

With posts like this and the occasional recommendation thread popping up every now and then, I thought I’d group my favourite anime into broad categories / genres for easy recommendations.

I want each group to be mutually exclusive, so if an anime qualifies for more than one category, I would be the one that felt like it better represented (e.g. a romcom that is more com than rom would end up belonging to comedy)

I ended up noticing a few things about my taste:
