      no videos I really enjoyed this show. Between the great dub, amazing characters, and the mindblowing animation, I think this is one of the more underrated anime's. I think this show should definitely make a season 2 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Amethyst Y The show is a cool show with its graphics and storyline. If you guys wonder why its short, Dont ask me. the story is a dark and horrifying thing from 9-12 but its cute and dazzeling from 1-8. RECOMMENDED TO WATCH Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review RigNinja59 I love this show, re-watched the entire 4-ish hours of episodes yesterday, even better than I remember! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/23 Full Review Lukas-Jeremie K In the 21st century, it is revealed to the world that humanoid beasts have been living hidden in the shadows of human civilization for centuries. One day, schoolgirl Michiru suddenly wakes up transformed into an animal. She eventually finds refuge in Anima City, a city full of beasts. There she meets the wolf-man Shirou Ogami, with whom she investigates the background of her transformation. "BNA: Brand New Animal" tells an unexpectedly exciting story. Combined with the beautiful animation, the anime is really impressive. The characters aren't really written in depth, but they don't need to be for this 12-episode journey through the world of BNA. A good anime if you want to see something short but still good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I've got one word for you. Phenomenal. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolute must see. I'd say one of the best shows I've ever watched. Only problem I have is not having a season 2. If you want a deep, threatening show watch BNA. The character design, plot, feelings, and colour theme are f***ing outstanding. Check this show out!

      Mariló Delgado Espinof Crazy camera twists and turns, extreme transformations, some "vintage" anime touches, and a gorgeous pastel color palette gives these series a personality of its own. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse "BNA" is impressive visually and features one of the richest narratives we have seen lately in anime, which is what brings the title very near the top of the category. Dec 20, 2020 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Humans and beasts clash in sometimes-violent anime. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2020 Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community BNA: Brand New Animal is a wonderful, dramatic, fast, and powerful story all rolled into phenomenal animation. Rated: 9/10 Jul 5, 2020 Full Review John Serba Decider Tonally lighthearted and visually color-explodey enough to offset the show's high-volume elements. Jul 1, 2020 Full Review Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut BNA: Brand New Animal season 1 is a good opening story that will hopefully be fleshed out for further seasons.
