- Description: A kaleidoscope of fur, scales, and anxieties: that's BNA, a 2020 anime that bravely tackles prejudice through the lens of a world where humans and beastmen coexist. Forget tired tropes; BNA's strength lies in its nuanced exploration of identity, societal pressure, and the struggle for self-acceptance. While the animation style initially feels vibrant yet slightly simplistic, it quickly becomes a stylistic choice that complements the show's emotional depth. The characters, each grappling with their own unique struggles, are surprisingly relatable despite their fantastical natures. BNA isn't just a fun watch; it's a thoughtful meditation on tolerance and the complexities of finding one's place in a world that often feels hostile. Its legacy lies in its compelling characters and the urgent questions it raises about prejudice and belonging.
