Beastars is the PG-13 Zootopia You Never Knew You Needed

Videos by ComicBook.com

From its world filled with talking animals, to its breakdown of society between carnivores and herbivores, there are a few similarities between the two. But there are just as many differences as Beastars tends to go a bit further in many ways. Hilariously enough, it’s a more “human” world full of sex, violence, and many of the darker undertones you’d expect from a society driven by “devouring” one another.

Much more so than PG-13, it’s kind of Rated R with some sexual content, near nudity, and plenty of blood violence. It’s the kind of world Zootopia hinted at, but couldn’t explore due to various reasons. Beastars also has a central carnivore and herbivore relationship that’s far more complex as the two of them want to follow their animalistic instincts just as much as they want to follow their sexual desires.

It’s lead many to declare Beastars as the better of the two very different franchises with two very different audiences as well. Each one has their fans, and since they are so much different there’s not one that’s inherently better than the other. But what do you think? Do you prefer Beastars or Zootopia?

Do you prefer the darker take on the animal world or the more humorous one? Read on to see what fans are saying about the Beastars and Zootopia, and let us know your thoughts in the comments! You can also talk to me directly about all things anime and other cool things @Valdezology on Twitter!
