Beastars
Beastars streams on Netflix, and it's a strikingly original coming-of-age drama set in a society of anthropomorphic animals where the line between predator and prey shapes everything. A gentle gray wolf named Legoshi wrestles with his own instincts, and the result is far stranger and more moving than it sounds.
About
At Cherryton Academy, carnivores and herbivores study side by side under an uneasy truce, and a student's death sends a tremor of fear through both. Legoshi, a large and painfully timid gray wolf, finds his carefully suppressed instincts thrown into chaos when he develops feelings for Haru, a tiny, self-possessed rabbit. What unfolds is a moody exploration of desire, identity, prejudice, and self-control, told through expressive stop-motion-inflected animation. It uses its animal cast to say something genuinely thoughtful about the appetites we're taught to hide.
