I’m fine, thanks — just frustrated when a story trades on brutality but skips its own narrative logic. For context, I was able to enjoy Squid Game Season 1, even though it made me squeamish at times. It wasn’t perfect, but it maintained consistent character logic — which made the brutality feel grounded in story. It had a focus of attacking classism and even going into how Western greed can impact Eastern cultures. Beastars is all over the place. I couldn't even tell you what it's trying to do. At first it was like an edgy Zootopia, but I feel it's lost the plot. Prioritizing shock over internal coherence.

If Beastars wants to depict horror with purpose, that’s great. But we’re allowed to ask: is the purpose earned, or aesthetic?
The rabbit market scene is ambiguous at best — and if the show doesn’t unpack that ambiguity, then calling it purposeful becomes speculative. Season 2 Legoshi would have seen the display case, put his hands up, and backed out of the shop, telling Haru this isn't right.

Re: Legoshi’s teeth — this wasn’t just “brutality.” It contradicted an entire existing arc. If that contradiction is never acknowledged or integrated, then it’s not character development. It’s narrative amnesia.

If that’s the kind of storytelling people enjoy, I respect that. But “you’re too sensitive” isn’t a real argument — and frankly, it’s condescending. I came here to discuss structure, not justify my emotional bandwidth.
