How could you skip the very last line of the comic? Haru wanting to marry and divorse Legoshi still baffles me

This video made me watch the anime, it was baller

The thing about Kei Nagai is that he does feel emotions and does care for people, he only idealises this emotionless selfish mentality because caring about others brings him strife. He keeps saying how he's selfish and how he should be selfish, words of self confirmation in order to reassure himself of who he is-when the reality is far different. His actions show that he does care about people, so he feels the need to reject that notion and make up selfish reasons that could have brought him to where he is in order to avoid facing the truth. Nagai had plenty of chances to just escape and ignore Satou, but he eventually felt a need to stop him-yet the emotionally constipated kid that he is still wants to put up the persona of being selfish, stating that he can't live a normal life if Satou is alive-which is true but only because Nagai does actually care about people and not because Satou is hell bent on fucking with Nagai as Satou states it himself "Why do YOU keep getting in my way?" Meaning that Satou wasn't really going after Nagai at all. Honestly this manga is fucking beautiful.

This is it. This is the video that convinced me into reading Beastars. Very cool.

Ain't no way the creator of Baki is also the creator of the creator of Beastars... What a coincidence!

I love the fact that you have a trails in the sky reference, 10/10.

Whole Lotta Love is one of my favorite ALI songs

This is an absolutely phenomenal video! A perfect mix of summary and background detail about the author, world, art ect. You hit a balance a lot of creators definitely miss on, thank you so much for making this. I love how this story managed to tackle social issues using predator/prey dynamics without tripping over the same trap so many other stories that attempt it do. Not letting it be black and white one side is good one is bad or they are just misunderstood. The creator didn't map a single race/gender/orientation onto one class of animal because that would have made a really shit metaphor but she went way deeper and actually managed to say something profound with such a well worn trope.

I honestly was expecting the story to get a little more twisted with a more bittersweet ending to it. Like Haru learning about the lives of mixed species children, and more specifically what a wolf/rabbit child could do to her small body, would be pressured into Legoshi and kinda believe that a real future with him can't give her the life that he or she wants. Have that commentary on those couples with differing family views. And it could've been something that was originally implanted by Melon to make him a more personal villain, but ultimately, it is something Haru takes on as her own idea. Yes, that would mean Haru and Legoshi break up, but seeing them deal with that and the reconciliation/resolution afterward would be an interesting conclusion. Also, going through this would also give time to properly work through the complications of Louis turning down Juno, which in itself is fine but needed better execution. Let Louis real mull over it as he and Juno wouldn't have the same biological hangups (theoretically) as Legoshi and Haru coupling, but a stronger effect from both familial and societal/economical sides of things. Which can ultimately lead to the "life isn't always fair" outcome, but we see how hard of that decision was; also, throwing in Louis and Juno's families not being on board with their relationship would be a nice contrast to Haru's family. Ultimately, leave both Legoshi and Louis with the feeling that the world is a messed up place, so they got a lot of work ahead of them and will be counting on the other's continued support as they're sure things will only get harder from there. Haru is still caring about Legoshi and wishes him the best even though they're not together as she looks for new focus in her life. Juno is motivated to make herself into a big shot so she can truly live the life she wants to live without others holding power over her. So it's kinda sad, but each party is motivated to move forward and not just a return norm that feels like backtracking or stagnation. Personally, I'd hope for a small epilogue version of Beast Complex that shows people after that ending. Like Legoshi and Louis end up as a couple raising a child, probably a son, that they rescued on a mission together while also having split custody of Louis' biological daughter he had with his now ex-wife. They split on good terms, and his daughter is excited about running the business one day with the mother being very practical; contrasting his son with Legoshi who is kinda meek and intimidated by his sister though he's larger than her. Lego and Louis are taking the kids to the park for a playdate, and we see Juno arriving with her child. Juno is revealed to be the head of a rival company and has silly competitions with Louis ex-wife as both as trying to be driving forces in the industry; a competition that extends to Louis' daughter and Juno's child as the see who can outdo the other (immediate foreshadowing of the kids will likely be a pair when their older as the childhood friend and enemies to lovers trope). Then you have Haru showing up with her family of quite a few children, a rather rambunctious group. She greets them while her husband says hello, but is mainly tending to the youngest of the bunch. She's gentle with Legoshi and Louis' son who opens up a little to Haru, before 2 of her kids his age come to drag him off to play with them and another younger one is demanding Legoshi picks them up so they can beat the others to the top of the jungle gym. Legoshi does a normal wacky reaction as this happens every time and the other get mad at him for the rest of the evening. And everyone laughs at Legoshi's expense. Then, just a couple panels of people talking and laughing in the park before parting ways as the sun goes down. Nothing extravagant or super exciting, but like a silly return to the slice of life feels and seeing what is the new normal they created. Obviously, all just subjective takes, but an ending I would've liked based on how I interpreted the story. The only other silly thing I could want is somehow Juno ends up having all the Shishigumi working for her. That'd be hilarious as Louis used to be their boss, and Legoshi has scrapped with a few of them, so for them to be working under the girl that had the hots for them is funny in my mind.

I have been getting tired of waiting for the anime to adapt the rest, so I’m gonna just jump into the manga now. Funny coincidence that I only recently finished Bojack Horseman and now I’m going right to this. I just seem to gravitate toward series that deal with show business in some way. Checkout Kageki Shoujo if you’re interested in other showbiz type series.

D.gray man

a shame the dub is silly asf.

Love these retrospectives and I love beastars. I definitely have issues with the ending but man it was really special reading it weekly and the Legosi flashback with his mom is one of my favorites in manga

OMG not the Mystikal "Help the BEAR!" clip! 🤣 👏👏👏 My god you just continue to make me so stoked to be subscribed to you with every video, my dude. I just loved this retrospective so friggin much, I know it'll be one I return to for repeated viewings.

Parus Art style is so HARD

I took a history of manga class the reignited my love of manga. I bought Beastars for my midterm paper, then I fell in love with it. I was Legoshi, maybe I still am in some ways. I was on light crew in high school, I was the nerd who had a close group of friends like room 701, shared similar interests yet all so different. I saw a sale for Beastars and bought 11-22 along with Beast Complex 1-3 all for $70.

The Gundam reference you're showing is in fact an Ideon reference

Damn I'm not even in my 20s yet 💀💀

dog how are people complaining about her human designs? did they expect them to be normal when her dad made baki??? girl had no chance to draw a human that looked normal at all

Totally agreed with alot you talked about. Series started off pretty strong, then just kinda went all over the place near the Melon arc. I think Paru just wanted to end it and move back to Beast Complex (her first anthropomorphic manga series which has continued!) There were the good segments and the bad but that's what made alot of people collectively love it but despise the thrown away ending.

37:57 TAKING THE SHISHIGUMI AFTER MOLASTING THEIR BOSS IN THE MOUTH🗣⁉⁉⁉‼‼

Wow, seeing the mangaka like Shadowrun is pretty cool. Not just a fps, its a cool ttrpg too (though the systems are all janky, the setting is awesome).

I love Beastars so much! Yeah it dips in quality by the time Melon arrives. Honestly, I’ll say the last four-five volumes is when the story takes a nosedive, but everything before that is fantastic! Easily one of my favorite stories. 10/10 great video my guy

I’m prepared for season 3 of Beastars and it’s lackluster ending.

DOG REVEAL LETS FUCKING GOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What?? He artworks are great and sho knows human anatomy

Their demi human sadly not sub human like Dante 😭

Furries rise up!

The story was rushed, sorry not sorry. Ending was interesting enough.

one of my favorite manga! the ending was disappointing imo but i had a blast throughout the whole series! cant wait to see wat you cover next! also, im geeking out hearing all the SMT music in the bg. i got mad respect for you just bc of that alone lol. hope youre playing SMT V:V, its going so hard and im probably gonna 100% like how i did wit the og game

Haha totally forgot in an hour n a half I'll be 32💀

OMG baki and she drew a blood sea because she watched Jaws! Okay I'm watching this because I don't want to watch the show......but dam this women is a goat in real life

I was not aware the creators dad made Baki. Now we need a Beastars and Baki crossover.😊

PEAK!!!!

You stay killing these videos,keep it up man

Stopped reading when they left high school, good stuff still

this manga's art is super ugly and the story is extremely corny , the plot twists gets eye rollingly embarrassing midway through. It only got popular online because furries gush over anything with furries on it and it has a lot of fetish stuff.

ALL I WANNA KNOW IS WHY IS JESSE PINKMAN FROM THE HIT HBO SERIES BREAKING BAD DOING IN THIS MANGA!?

Just found your channel. Loved this video & your Gantz video! Looking forward to more content

You should do video on shin angyo oshi

Basically a talented woman's First Manga being a bit messy and not following through with all it's themes is how I describe Beastars. I will never say it was bad, trash or not good, however. It's a good manga, even with a lackluster ending. In this case, the ending actually is lackluster and not just 'unsatisfying' for people who had certain expectations like the AoT ending. Overall, It's an 8/10 manga.

Hoo, boy. I'm pretty much in the same boat when it comes to Beastars. The first few arcs are great, and I personally love all the stuff that happens once Legoshi gets his apartment. Then Melon shows up and slowly starts dragging things down. But even with all that. It's still legit one of the better shonen and series I've read in a while. It's one of my favorites.

13:50 there's a good explanation for this - when it comes to proportions, sometimes the human faces she draws are way waaaayyy off. For example, drawing eyes of different sizes, like one eye wider than the other when the character is facing to the front, and since they're so big it's very noticeable. Also the picture of humanized Haru and Legosi look very crooked, since human faces don't look like she drew them. It's really uncanny valley. It looks like an amateur's mistake. If the style was consistent, people would complain a lot less. But I think she's improving :) I do like how she draws dynamic art, one of my favorite panels from Beastars is Legosi spinning to kick an enemy, don't remember which chapter, but it's so good.

This man knows how to cook!

Lol you've inspired me to reread beastars cause I love the ending and I last read the manga when it originally concluded so I can't elaborate properly. I'll come back when I'm done :) Nice video btw. I don't have the vocabulary to praise it, so I'll just say that the editing is nice and your sections flow together very well.

Algorithm juiced. Nice use of Joe Cappa at the beginning you beautiful man of taste
