In short: Legosi is a good boy who is trying his best.
JSkunk22 this is very true. We all know Legosi is the best boi
@@WolfPackAlpha-sn2sw And he is a bad ass.
JSkunk22 WHO’S A GOOD BOY? HE’S A GOOD BOY (ironic how he’s a canine)
Jack Bartholomaus yeah he bit the shit out of that lion right in the neck I would like to see some more of that
@@WolfPackAlpha-sn2sw Yes, he is the bestest of bois of all bois out there
One of the aspects of Legoshi's personality that makes him really lovable is, as stated in the video, how reflective and introspective he is. It allows the viewer passage through his thought process and allows us to completely comprehend the reasons for his decisions while developing Legoshi as character simultaneously in a seamless manner. It ensures that the viewer understands his fears and self-hatred.
On another note, I adore how he comes across as shy and introverted without seeming like a pushover.
I think at first, he was kind of a push over, just kinda accepting his life, but as he evolved he changed his he acted and began to stand taller. I think the series symbolizes this with his height, remember how he grew taller as the series went on?
Pretty sure thats because he stopped slouching
He was a pushover at the start, due to how unwilling he was to let ANY anger out... just look at the scene where Louis jammed his own hand within his jaws.
As for him physically growing up, there is two part to this: one is simply something undesirable to him that pulls him further apart from those he seeks to protect and makes others fear him, in a way being his own body pulling away from who he wants to be at that time... and the other is related to him accepting himself as a carnivore
Like Paarthunax said: "What is better? To be born good, or to overcome one's evil through great trial?"
Depends entirely on what you mean by "better"... I would say however that I would personally trust more someone who has proven to be able to consistently and reliably overcome their worst instincts than someone who has always ever been good because they never even had an evil instinct to begin with, and the reason is that I don't know how trustworthy would the latter be when they eventually are faced with a choice that brings out their worst instincts, while the former has already proven themselves at doing exactly that.
@@brodericksiz625 but if they were born good how with their instinct be evil?
The trick is believing anyone is born an absolute. Time is nonlinear as is our minds. We too are reduced to infancy even when elderly.
Better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.
@Fanjanhong * I like to think about it this way: would the Sonic Movie have been so well-known if it wasn’t for the fact that they *actually* listened to the criticism and worked to right their wrongs? I don’t think so.
Did I just... like Legosi more than I already do?
FURRY!
Nah I like legoshi alot too.
I didn't think it was possible, yet here we are.
I though I like Kimetsu Yaiba so much but this one just stole my heart
It's what Alec does.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Beastars looking back is how Louis is a perfect foil to Legoshi. Legoshi tries to act like a prey when he is a predator while Louis tries to act like a predator when he is a prey. There differences and development especially are highlighted when Haru gets kidnapped, Louis realizes that he'll be powerless to change anything (at least in his mind) no matter what he tries, giving up is a more preferable idea but Legoshi even if his desires are selfish decides to take the initiative to save Haru could actually make a change in his society and because he is humble he has no idea how big the implications of a wolf getting together with a rabbit would be. Louis can only think of the big picture, how much flare and fame it would be to have the Beastars title but in the end he ends up being the equivalent to a king, all show and no go. In this way you could argue Legoshi is the equivalent of a knight who might not have the wealth of a king but has an incredible might that cannot be stopped.
Aye, key aspect of Legosi and Louis is that they both hate aspects of themselfs that cannot be altered, Haru also shares in this
As a manga reader I can't say but their are a few more amaizing foils at play as well
I love the way you explain this dynamic. It's perfect.
Actually he knows the repercutions of be with Haru, because he's not a purebreed wolf.
Nico Krasnow lol I looked in the replies of this comment looking to see if anybody had said it
Ironically enough, this whole series felt like a love letter to what it means to be human. In a show filled with animals, I have never seen more characters act so humanistic. I feel like I could relate to Legoshi especially. I'm a quiet introverted guy born into a good place in society, and yet so much horror happens on a daily basis in this world we live in. Legoshi wants a world where everyone can live in peace and so do I. We have to use our power to make the world a better place, one step at a time. I can't express how fantastic this show is narratively. How deep it's willing to go in all sorts of subject matter. A true masterpiece, through and through.
Salokin This isn’t anything new, as some of the oldest stories use animals as a means of metaphor. That said, Beastars might be one of the better allegories to do this as it really tries to examine what being in a society means when you have so many things to take into account. I think this is why the show is as well-received as it is.
Amen bro 😤✊🏼
@@Adorni the point is, Paru does it great.
Legosi is the best anime protagonist in over a decade. He’s wonderfully developed and written, amazingly voice acted, and generally the most likable MC I’ve seen in forever. The self-loathing parts of his character ring especially true to me, he’s relatable and sympathetic while also being flawed and I genuinely want to see things work out for him and him to be happy. I’m so glad I gave this show a chance because it’s easily my favorite anime probably since Cowboy Bebop first came out.
Not for the decade but still great tho
This is my first anime I watched in my entire life (or if Pokémon is considered an anime) and I absolutely love it
Because Lelouch Lamperouge was from last decade and Meruem and Askeladd are antagonists I do see this as valid, however consider also Killua Zoldyck from Hunter x Hunter, Shigeo Kageyama from Mob Psycho 100, Eren Yeagar from Attack on Titan (if you've read the manga you know i'm not trolling), and Kaori Miyazono from Your Lie in April. Also Thorfinn from Vinland Saga.
@@liammcgrath6814 Emiya Shirou, Kiritsugu (if you considered him protagonist) and Araragi Koyomi (monogatari series) are also great protagonist who overcome their weakness. Emiya Shirou is even more interesting for me because he accepted both sufferings and happiness of world as beauty of life itself. Good and bad, ugliness, hatred and love of human. Everything is beauty of humanity. Accepting them, understanding them, overcome them, find meaning behind them and again going into this cycle of despair & hope is itself the beauty of human life. These conflict create meaning in their life. Without them, humans are empty and blank from inside. That's why conflict is always needed but fighting them and overcome them realistically is also important.
It’s my favourite anime i’ve watched i didn’t watch many only 3 but it’s a really good one!
I can't describe how much I love this show. Metal Gear Panda is my spirit animal.

For anyone wondering, you can't watch this show in the west yet due to it being in Netflix jail. Netflix will release it in March. Until then, you'll have to use.. other avenues.

Yar har, yar har, a pirate's life for me!
You know what that means boys! To the dark market!
Beastars was fantastic. The theme of taming ones inner shadow is really interesting & I love seeing it in stories. Great job!
Thanks mate!
Is there any other good anime with this theme not like a cringe shounen tho cuase I’ve seen some that deal with it but it’s just not a fleshed out or the same as a show like this
It honestly made me think of Berserk. It will be interesting to see where things go from here.
Manga is better.
@@tcrpgfan i think both of them are good just my opinion
i think one of the greatest simplifications i've seen or heard for legosi as a character is that he's the kid in high school who always seems angry when you look from a 3rd person perspective, but when you go to talk to them they're just looking for their own way to live life and trying not to get everyone else dragged into their own ideals
kinda spoilers.
that like, actually happens, in a flashback with Jack, Jack describes the other kids being scared of the weird wolf in the corner, but Jack makes the effort to talk to him despite this and despite having some disagreements leads to them being as good friends as they are now
i actually have read the manga, though i only started keeping up with it a little over a month ago
It was when Loius refused to do anything about Haru's kidnapping and Legosi's resolve to do what right that it clicked... Legosi may not be the hero the world of Beastars wants, but he is the hero it needs. He is the dark knight.
His story mostly involves solving crimes and helping society, you know the job of a Beastar.
@@0deadx21 "I am the night" -legosi probably
*dark gray
The Beastar is pretty analogous to a state sanctioned Batman
Personally, I've been longing for a show like this for a VERY LONG time. It shows the complexity of people and society and that resonates with me because in our own society we don't want to acknowledge those things. For example with Legosi people take two or three of his characteristics and define him by them, like what people do today. But then you have people like his best friend who understands him on a deeper level. Legosi is a person with layers...like an onion. There is more to his person than just a couple characteristics. There are layers to his personality, his beliefs, and his mental mindset. That's why at least for me this show is more empowering than a typical two-dimensional shounen anime. Like Alexzandxr says, it shows him fighting the internal parts of himself and then finding peace with it (balancing it). It shows him trying to find a place in society, coming to terms with the fact that it's not perfect, and then realizing that if there's no place in society for him he can make one (in my opinion). He does not take the stereotypes everyone else has to heart and instead forms his own opinion through what he sees. Its how you look at life, yourself, and society as a whole that will actually make you a mentally stronger person. I've been through what Legosi has all throughout my childhood because I was always acutely aware of the complexity of my personality, how it affected where I fit in, and how others choose to see me. It's a much more realistic message of heroism (because the show is still tagged as a shounen) than two-dimensional fights with large explosions and op powers. So when I see people just diss this show because it does not fit the template of a regular shounen anime (or looks like a show for furries) it really does remind of the mental age gap and really disappoints me.
Sorry for the long rant lol. I'm just so ecstatic that someone made an in-depth analysis of this character which connects to the storyline as a whole. After all, a good book or show is driven by the characters, not the plot (though it is important). ^^
"Legosi is a person with layers...like an onion". Love this part
This comment is a year late... but your "rant" ain't long. It's perfect. It takes the time it needs to explain your thoughts and helped me to understand BEASTARS a bit more deeply. I just discovered BEASTARS a day ago. I'm reading the manga and processing everything about it that I can. Thanks for the comment, btw.
@@kakshofi2639 Shrek came to mind... LOL!
Beastars really helping me address a lot of the toxic parts of my personality.
I’m a huge fan of the implementation of the quotes in the show, great editing and timing
Thanks! They serve tons of purposes for sure.
Legosi's struggle with his own nature, with fundamentals of his own being, is something I can deeply relate to. Not to go too personal things, I've always had problems controlling my anger and I was always physically stronger than my peers and that is a very dangerous combo. I fought it for a long time, tried rejecting my anger and my strength completely, and it backfired horribly and I nearly crippled someone because of it. From there, over time I finally learned not to reject my anger and not to reject my strength, but to embrace them and control them. To use them for good and to control them, not try to get rid of them. And just like Legosi, I still have a lot to figure out, but at least the path I'm on makes me truly happy and others around me safe, so I think it's the right direction to take.
Something I just now noticed in regards to Louis is that from episode 1 to 4, Louis has been hating Legosi because he suppresses his instinct. Then because of the events of episode 4, where Louis sees Legosi go all out, not holding back, he kinda finds new respect in him. Because after that, he no longer feels this way about him. Until episode 9. Once he himself ends up in the same kind of situation, where he needs to lie about the truth, he fights Legosi by throwing it all back at him like he did in the beginning. This time though, because Haru is involved, Legosi does give in and expresses his true feelings with a mighty FALCON PUNCH.
It all just shows that Louis' hate for Legosi was probably a mask, hiding his hate for himself and what he'd become. Hiding his past, hiding who he truly is. Hiding his own feelings for Haru.
Mucrush it goes deeper into this in the manga
I was able to relate a lot to Legosi. I have problems with controlling my anger, to the point that the even the smallest inconvenience can drive me mad. I got into a lot trouble several times, because of it. I used to be a very pacifistic person, but my anger got the best of me on many occasions. I started hating both my anger, as well as myself. Not helped by the constant bullying I received at school, and the pressure that school put on me. I tried the "Conceal it, don't feel it" approach, but it didn't always work. There were instances were I snapped and almost hurt someone, or broke something. I love my family and friends dearly, but sometimes they annoy me so much that I envision doing things to them that are so horrible that I would instantly go to jail for it. As a result, my biggest fear became that I'd grow up to be a violent and brainless brute, who'd beat up anyone, including children and animals. I developed depression and anxiety, thinking of myself as just a failure or a monster, who doesn't deserve to live. I isolated myself and became very introverted, barely sharing anything with anyone and only talking to them when I needed help with my studies. My anger got so bad that one time, I kicked a hole into my bedroom door. Another one is when I yelled and argued with my Geography teacher, in class. Or when I opened a door and a kid from the other side ran into me, I grabbed him by his shirt and threw him onto the ground.
I came to the realization that if I don't find a way to control my anger, my future will be disastrous. I started practicing techniques that could help me with my anger. Such as: writing articles about the things that pissed me off, and started working out. As time went on, I finally learned how to control my anger better. I still get easily frustrated, but I no longer see it as something harmful. Every day, I work out at my house for at least two hours, not just to stay in-shape, but also as a way to vent my anger in a non-harmful way.
I accepted my anger as part of who I am, but also learned to control it better, and that there is a time and place where I can use it, without feeling like I'm some kind of monster.
Legosi as character really spoke to me, because I was also struggling with controlling the "inner beast" that's inside me, especially since I didn't want to hurt anyone. I learned from my experiences and became a more mature person, as a result.
Hello, Legosi's battle with his instincts touched me too. At first, I had no idea why I was relating so much with Legosi or why this show was causing me intense dreams and making me feel depressed. Now I realize that it is because like Legosi, I am in a constant struggle for control. Looking deep within myself, there is a hidden need for control that displays itself in my actions and unconscious. It is hidden so deep within me, that it can only be discovered to exist through symptoms. The symptom that allowed me to identify this need for control was my own battle over instincts. Right before watching this show, I confronted a repetitive and deep-rooted obsession that stems from abuse: a need to be intelligent and viewed as intelligent. Like Legosi, I accepted that this would always be an obsession of mine, that it would always be in the back of my mind, but also recognized that it was toxic -- not because it could not be controlled, but because of its nature (which I am now working on changing).
My intense reaction to Legosi's battle over instincts helped me realize that beyond my struggle for control over this one toxic obsession, there is a primal fear of losing control deep within me, which impacts my entire being.
If you didn't start manga, you better do. There will be a character that'll give you shivers, especially in your situation
Relate 100% with this
There was s time in my youth were I was always angry due to things going on in my family. I had a high school gf at the time so once I hit a wall with my bare fist I stopped being in rage and anger.
I cant even find myself to get into a rage anymore so legoshi kinda reflects me being a dork with edgy issues trying to better himself for the sake of those around him. Legoshi is my favorite character rn.
I almost relate to you 100%. There's so much going on in my life. I put holes in walls and doors. And today was one of my worst days. I broke my headphones and my phone. I've been so out of control lately and the medicine they put me on makes me angry. I can only write down my problems and vent to myself. I'm glad you could find a way to calm down your inner Beast. It's something I need to work on severely. But as the years go on, things get worse. I'm so socially awkward I can't even talk to people. I can't look at people in the eyes when I talk to them either. It's so hard like I just want to go and hide in my room. These four walls protect me but they are also a curse
We truly live in a society.
You good? You're not gonna shoot up right? Nvm, I'll just call the police before you kill someone. 🚔

The fact people make that topic simple and make it stupid is the real proof we live in one
Eass Chung Aye man, you’re the one saying some weird ass shit.
No shit Einstein, (jk ;) )
Legosi is my favourite character in Beastars and whilst I don't always relate to characters I found him very relatable.
Hah, furry! 😂 👍
@@dionysus3774 did anyone ask
baby yoda, Someone needed to ask something in order to make a reply? That logic is fucking retarded. Using your logic, you shouldn’t even have commented considering no one asked any questions.
Edit: Auto correct.
bruh, same, Beastars is like one of the only animes I watch, other than Death Note and stuff, Legosi is very relatable to me
Legoshi is my favourite character in all of Anime.I can't think which Anime Mc can beat my boi
I like how as the story goes on (in the manga) Legosi becomes more and more open/blunt about who he is and what he wants. He kinda just stops thinking about how others might view him and just accepts that’s he’s a deviant in this worlds society. Even with all this, he keeps trying to become kinder and more considerate of the those he cares about
BEASTARS MUSIC IS AMAZING. WHAT AN OST.
damn this is the only anime where i watched the entire thing in one sitting. i usually watch some EP later but not Beastars
Yesss, I haven’t binged an anime this hard in years
4-5 eps in one sitting for me. Love that stop motion opener.
Same. I usually watch one episode of a show I like a week (one week between each episode, keeping up with 7 different shows each week). I decided to give the first episode of Beastars a shot (not knowing if I'd like it or not) and it completely sucked me in. I ended up watching the entire first season (what, 4.5 hours total) in one sitting.
I wonder, how story without humans feels so close to me? Its probably just that good. And i gota give one to Legosi, he has problems to say his mind, but he managed to say "i love you" very early, which seems almost criminal in anime/manga scene. Respekt.
Part of being in a society and that you're ALWAYS gonna be in some sort of conflict. It's never gonna be anyone's safespace, you can count on that, and in no way do I want it any other way.
I'll be honest
An anime hasn't pulled my interest like this since FMAB and Inuyasha. This is the first anime in nearly a decade that has actually got me motivated to read the manga (on chapter ten, started reading immediately this morning 😌) and I literally watched the first season just yesterday. I can't wait to see how these arcs conclude and I want to see Legosi figure out how to be happy with himself and how to overcome the internal struggle he's facing along with the external conflict of being a carnivore in love with an herbivore.
This story is stunning me so far with its nuances of character, especially in the case of Legosi, Haru, and Louis.
Same to me I didn't like Manga so much because its black and white but eversince Beastars appeared,I even watch Manhwa now like Solo Leveling thx to Beastars
"Carl Jung said that everyone carries a shadow within themselves"
"I am thou, thou art I"
Legosi: "i have to tame my inner beast"
Guts: _hold my dragonslayer_
I used to know someone like Legosi. She's truly enviable. I can relate to several of these characters myself, then again I wonder who would not.
This video made me tear up... I already loved Legosi (as a character), but now I appreciate his character and his development even more. This vid is great!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
I feel that Louie had a character arc similar to darth Vader he seemed like antagonist the whole entire time up until the end were Louie was the one to kill the big bad
he went from Dio and turned into Tony Stark sacrificing himself to save the people he cares about snap
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
I watched it in English because it was the default language on Netflix, i think they actually did a good job, Legosi has a sexy wolf voice, so im not gonna change it
The CC deviated from the VA.
*Legosi is deff. my kind of protagonist... Wants to become something outside of what society labels him. & wants to be there for those closest to him. No matter how they are on the outside.*
Legosi really is the first anime protagonist in YEARS i have genuine affection for (...not just because he's pubby, but it helps lol). I just adore how well written and legitimately kind he is. That's rare.
You can't kill your shadow self. Embrace it, care for it, and _guide it._ All it needs is a healthy direction.
In my opinion, it's much more than just taming it, it's also learning to use it properly, and direct it towards where not only it won't do harm, but where it'll do good.
"Legosi is the perfect person to make a breakthrough in this society" is a phrase that keeps becoming more and more true with each arc in the manga.
I really need to watch this show. I already massively relate to Legosi, being born about as equivalent to a "wolf" as one can be. Well over 6 ft tall, broad shouldered, naturally strong, etc. Growing up I was always taught to hold back because others are smaller than me. I had several outbursts as a kid where I nearly seriously hurt others, once even at church. And then as I grew up and the gap between me and others only grew I began to notice more social aspects, people being nervous around me when I dont smile and joke around, strangers in public (particularly women) seeing me as a threat, stuff like that. And for a long time I had serious issues with myself, and my anger management. My constant bottling up of my emotions getting so bad it's actually caused a neurological issue that makes me physically twitch and spasm under emotional stress. So yeah, I can relate to Legosi more than a bit
How was it?
I just finished watching season 1, and had started reading the manga. This is one of the best. My friends find me weird loving this show. I can really relate to this show. I love Legossi.
@SoulReaper 85
Will it end this year? I'm on chapter 100 and i don't want to read anymore cause i don't want to read it weekly
Heh. Sounds like your friends are as prone to prejudice as the people in Beastars.
@SoulReaper 85 where did you hear that
@SoulReaper 85 thats sad
And that's why Juno will never be his girlfriend. She's kinda the opposite of him.
Remember the first time she met Haru? She basically tried to humiliate her and that she'll get what she deserve at all costs, including others happiness.
this way of living is also seen in her relationship with my boi Louis.
I love your analysis so much. I was actually feeling a bit confused and disappointed in some of the choices Legosi has taken after the events of the Anime in the Manga and this really helped me look at those action in a different light. Thanks!
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed so much!
I cried because all the things that had been said to this are all true, I can understand how legoshi feel not given in to peer pressure or to our impulses, one of my main reason for having moral codes
Beastars is one of my favorite new anime’s and Legosi is a big part of that. He and the show just constantly subvert expectation and ooze originality, I love it
The anime is good but the manga is better ... Many things was left off
manumaster1990 as with everything. I think I’ll be alright
Fun fact: Legosi was named after inspiration from Bella Lugosi, and Louis is named after the fashion designer brand "Louis Vuitton."
or King Louis
I love the psychology of Beastars so much! For me it’s one of the more overlooked facets of the story. I really like how you talked about Legosi confronting his shadow and his process overcoming and assimilating it. I also find Louis to be equally fascinating in this respect. He has a very strong distaste towards Legosi in the beginning because he is so confused by him! Here’s this imposing grey wolf who chooses to be timid and meek and Louis can’t believe what he’s seeing because well why would anybody not want to use the power that has been gifted to them? The two go hand in hand very nicely
As Oversimplified said:
"Fear, left unchecked often boils over into Anger; and Anger detonates with Violence."
This sentnce almost perfectly describes the tension between herbivores and carnivores in the show.
Someone once told me that Legosi was Edward Cullen but actually thoroughly explored with nuanced writing and now I cant get it out of my head.
This was a great video about legosi and this is why I think that legosi is one of my new favourite anime/manga protagonist he goal to find happiness in his life as a carnivore and control his instincts and use them when what he loves is taken from him and as a manga reader I can’t wait to see his character grow more in season 2
ANime onlies aint ready for S2, Legosi puts on his big boy boots.
The primary thing I love with the way the show demonstrates Legoshis character is through his extremely detailed and adorable body language.
This show is way better than Zootopia. Deeper, more complex, more expansive, better characters, better direction. Fight me.
Zootopia had the restraint that it had to be family friendly. It's pretty obvious to me that a show where you're not afraid to go all out thematically would be much more interesting overall.
Zootopia still did many things right imo. I'm a bit disappointed their initial script idea was scrapped though. Think that would be a million times more interesting.
But I'm the end I do agree. Beastars is a lot better.

no reason to fight, i always loved idea of zistopia and was kinda sad for what we have got. Beastars managed to scratch that itch really good.
in all my years of loving fiction I have never come across a character more completely human or one that I felt like I related to more than Legoshi
I watched the anime last week and can't stop thinking about it, listening to the soundtrack, watching video essays like this one, I've even gone in search of the manga just to get more of this one character
no other story has caught me like this and I'm so glad that it showed up on my netflix recommended
I just want to give Legoshi a hug so had
Finally got around to watching this and binged it in one day. Absolutely brilliant. Loved every episode and the cast was great.
See you soon in season 2, Legosi.
PS : Alec is the GOAT « Great Omnipotent Ani Tubers »
My personal favorite anime protagonist, never in my wildest dreams I could ever believe that there is a fictional character who I relate almost completly, every scene with him in anime and manga got me feeling like i was the one on his place and just cannot wait to see next action he will do and how he will develop.
Finished watching the series bc beaststars got let out of Netflix jail and I just wanna say that the way you splice the scenes is actually really... nice? It helps me make connections I didnt really see the first time watching
Thank you! That’s one of the big aims when I do that, each little cut being relevant with the dialogue, my point, and the adjacent scenes.
The animation in Beasters was imo beautiful and I love how they tried something new and they talked on real life issues
I didn’t understand the série first but I knew there was something in this série that would help me improve in my life. My first language is not English so I had to see 10x your video to discover this valuable lesson yet. thanks to you , you explain this in a beautiful and simple way !
Happy to help! :)
When I started watching Legosi progress, I knew you were going to make a video comparing his progression to Carl Jung's idea of taming the shadow.
i just finished watching the first season yesterday...i love it when the universe aligns with my geek interests.
I can highly recommend reading Carl Jung if you wish to explore the inner shadow more.
This is a fantastic show, that I can painfully relate to.
Can't wait to binge the manga now
I have always been interested in the concept of the shadow and i think that plays a large part in why i love this show so much!
Can't wait til season 2. Pina, Gosha, Melon, Yakya. Amazing cast.
Don't forget our chunky sea boy Zaguan
@@Utterlyderanged Thiccccc
@@Utterlyderanged Did you forget that Zaguan is part of the Life as a Dropout Arc, not the Tem's Killer Arc? In Season 1, the final boss was the Shishigumi boss during which both Legosi and Louis were present for. Season 2's final boss is Riz, the fight with whom again both Legosi and Louis are present for. I feel like Season 3 needs to be londer and incorporate both the Life as a Dropout Arc and the Melon Arc.
You hit the nail on the head. Again. As usual. Beastars has many great characters, but what makes them so interesting is how dynamic they are. Each scene brings about change for at least one character. And no character is changing and developing as much as Legosi is.
This is more than anime. Its a work of art and it knows it.
Minus the ambition, I am Legosi. That's why I watch the series. With the ambition, he's someone very special to me. One one hand he's my reflection, on the other, he's perfect portrait of the person whole stole my heart. Legosi may be fictional, but his struggle is very real for I [and my Belov'ed] deal with the same damn thing(s).
I don't know why, but i got so emotional whatching this, almost cried, great video
Thank you!
Who else loves the voice of legoshi’s voice in English
Me! I love his english voice! It fits him so well and sounds so good!
Thank you for making this video. I haven't been able to watch beastars as yet, but this is a great reference for when I actually do start the series.
You’re very welcome!
Legosi is an Inspiring character.
Amazing video! Glad to see Legosi get the justice he deserves! Don't have anything to add. You really have a way with words, that i don't think could ever be replicated. Everything was on point!
Thanks very much as always! Very glad you enjoyed it so much.
I'm so glad I finished beastars, he's truly on a journey to find himself and what he believes he "should" be like both as a carnivore and person, but together 🤯🤯🤯😵. I fricken love legoshi, he's gonna get their some day. He's on the right track 😊
.
Edit: OH, congrats on 200k Alec, glad to see your channel growing man 🤜
God, I fucking love Beastars.
I always was interested in young's ideas but beastars really revived this interest
Gonna return to this when ive seen beastars
The only Anime I will ever watch
these video essays are incredible
This show was legitimately phenominal. I finished watching it today. The only issues I had with it were the issues I have with anime in general. I feel the high school setting held it back, given how adult the themes of the show where (though I will say they did handle it far better than most anime), as well as how clunky and overwrought dialogue can be. I may be wrong, but I doubt the phrase "This is what it means to be X in this world" is a particularly common phrase in Japanese society, but anime series sure do love using that faux philosophic dialogue structure a lot.
Which sucks, because the show does actually have a lot to really contemplate and discuss, and I wish it was able to trust in it's audience to not have to spell it out in such a clunky manner. But again, the show handles it far better than most.
Also Juno is best girl, and I say that as someone who rarely has a best girl. On that note, I love how the main women of the cast actually go for what they want, and have real agency in their actions, as opposed to being objects to oggle at. Every time the camera viewed them in a sexualised manner, they wanted to be seen like that, and the one time one of them really did not want to be seen like that, the framing was anything but sexual, even turning into a moment of defiance against it. Excellent show.
Crawver all I can say is, check out the manga :)
I actually enjoyed it a lot more because the setting was high school. All these kids are sheltered in the safety of the school. Most are still quite innocent. The moment they step out of the shelter, they're faced with the grim reality and the stark contrast hit me a lot harder. Seriously that guy who sold his fingers to carnivores was such a haunting image. Not to mention the fact that other students were willing to take the guy's offer. Compare that to the scene in the school cafeteria where the carnivore students are happily chowing down tofu burger or something.
The only bit I found ridiculous was how Legoshi, a teen wolf, was able to fight his way through a mob of fully grown male lions lol Sure he had master panda to help him but still.
You can hate it.
You can embrace it.
but you can also control it.
Alec when season 2 comes out I can definitely see you making a Louis video. After the murder solution arc (and so on) Louis had some of the best character development I've seen in any series.
Strangely I was SURE you would make a video from this anime, considering the psychological and sociological aspect of it. At least to me, who don't like to study those subjects, but like literature and other forms of media on those subjects. It's been some time since UA-cam had put a video of yours on my feed, and I'm glad it was Beastars!
Well I’ve already made one of it, I praise it to the high heavens on Twitter and have it in my favourites so no doubt many thought the same, haha. Looks like UA-cam hasn’t been notifying you of my new videos, so I’d definitely recommend checking what you’ve missed to see if it interests you!
@@Aleczandxr Yeh was doing that, specially because I've pretty much abandoned Twitter/Facebook/Instagram. I think I saw your last Beastars video now that I'm checking your channel again, but it's been some time ago, I may have forgot, specially since UA-cam doesn't save all the video you watched already...
I'm happy you came at this analysis from a Jungian perspective. I had the same opinion watching it, but hadn't seen anybody else address it in that way. I feel like I was able to see a lot of myself in Legosi for that reason.
I cannot overstate how much I love this series
Yes beastars is amazing. The manga is spectacular. The anime is very good.
But the one problem I have:
*THE ANIME OP IS SO CATCHY I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD. ITS BEEN WEEKS.*
*...and that's called JAAAAAAZZZZZZ*
He is perfect, period. I love him so much and I love his journey.
A protagonist who reminds us of us. This anime is golden.
This was beautiful!
Thanks!
In conclusion Legosi is best boy
Beastars has made me feel emotion that other shows haven't made me feel in a fucking WHILE and I love it.
Thank you for this. This video perfectly describes what makes Legosi, and Beastars as a whole, so special. It even made me kinda emotional because I personally identify with him a lot. Sometimes I feel like this show is a godsend for me, I never identified with a character that much, in any show. So, it´s really inspiring to see him grow up and overcome his doubts and flaws, just like I'm trying to do. I'm so glad to have been born just in time to witness this show. And this video.
You’re very welcome! Glad you found it so valuable.
Read the manga it also goes deeper and deeper in to him and his life
I did read the manga, as my MAL will attest to.
So you know what I’m talking about
Just binged the first season in 2 days and already cant wait till the next season
Same
Underrated show and underrated character, I'm a Manga reader and I can firmly tell you that Legosi is the goodest of bois.
This series resonates with me like no other
I relate to Legosi a lot.
Because of the toxic relationship between my parents)( no Diss just that they have a very unhealthy dynamic) I find myself scared to get intimate in my relationships because I am scared I might be just as toxic but it gives me a bit of confidence when I see how Legosi overcamr it
Thanks for this video. I find myself relating to legosi in some ways and tgis analysis just, yeah.
You're very welcome!
This is the first anime that made me buy the manga. I've never read manga before. Simply extraordinary.
The best anime youtuber with the best anime from last season.
Perfection.
