SOS Bros React - Beastars Season 1 Episode 11 - The Fateful Night! 

Everything has come to a head in this show and my mind is blown at the incredible direction these characters have taken the story since episode 1!! Legoshi, Haru and Louis are so precious to me now! If you want to see the next episode's reaction right now, check out our Patreon: www.patreon.com/semblanceofsanity

Jacob: *screeching Louis hype* Caleb: "Louis could be dead..." Jacob: *excited voice cracking in confliction* "BUT I HOPE NOT"

Every reactor ever: Episode 1 :This deer is an asshole. Episode 11: Nooo he can't be dead!

I haven't seen anyone say this here, but in the wild, prey when they are truly cornered will jump towards the predator in order to have a more painless death. That's what Haru was doing, by trying to place herself inside his mouth and putting her head in reach of his fangs first.

Louis planned on becoming a Beastar... _But he ended up becoming a gangstar instead_

Let’s talk about foreshadowing this season: Early on, during a school play, Legosi violently confronted a tiger who was using rabbit’s blood to dope for a performance. He fought the tiger but was not able to vanquish him. It fell to Louis, the Grim Reaper, to end the tiger. And now here we are, many episodes later... the events of the Adler play foreshadowed these events.

I knew their reaction (especially Jacob's) to Louis' GOAT moment would be the best thing ever hahaha I'm so happy

My personal favorite part of the series is the juxtaposition between Legosi saying "I can never understand what it is like to be inches from death" while literally in the jaws of a lion. It's this neat call out that the series does to itself that makes you take a step back and consider what is going on a little more complicated than what is being shown on the surface and lets the viewer know that the characters are unreliable narrators.

1st episode, Louis introduction : I don't like this guy Now : I HOPE IS NOT DEAD !!!!

How it started: "My heart goes out to all these characters (not you, Louis)" How it's going: "Louis?!? YESSSSSS!!!!"

We need a compilation of Jacob having unintelligible happy freakouts over this show once the season is over

11:40 I just realized that this is the visualization of the phrase "That escalated quickly" XD

There could be a whole video of every time the bros geek out about beastars. Those screams for Louis are amazing, especially considering how much they despised him at the beginning.

I also love the back and forth between Haru and Legoshi. Haru gives him control when they get into the room but when he tries to kiss her she shrinks back and focuses on his shirt instead. Then Legoshi takes control to share his truth with her. Although, while taking control he also gives it back to Haru by letting her decide what she wants to do with that info. Then Haru gives it back to Legoshi by the end and let’s him choose. Both are aware that both feel vulnerable in different ways and both are fighting their own vulnerabilities. So they essentially dance around each other and I just think it’s great because it shows just how far both have come. Haru could’ve had control but gives it to Legoshi. Legoshi could have folded but he decides to go with it in the end. It’s great!

and that's how you switch from hating Louis to screaming so freaking loud cheering for him hahahaha that was so greaaattt

So, remember the first episode where you kinda despised Louis? I remember.

I would like to point out that sleeping with him would, for her at least, be the easy option. She's acknowledging that, even if it did happen, it wouldn't be her way out of things with regards to their relationship. She couldn't sleep with Legosi and be done with him like she could every other male but Louis.

It was hard to spot, but while Legoshi and Haru walk out the front door, there's a note pinned to the wall with a bamboo bolt, so it confirms that Panda is at least alive

Louis lived his entire life trying to be the predator, the alpha of the society, and yet when it comes down to it, he was exposed as weak and powerless, he lost his girlfriend, lost his pride, and basically lost everything he has, until nothing left other than the empty shell of a prey disguised as predate. That is why he went full suicidal, saving Haru and gets his final victory on the ultimate predator, then asking the lions to eat him like the prey he is

That one shot, when shows Haru fitting entirely inside Legoshi’s open mouth and sharp fangs, that specific frame, won the whole season for me

She feels so indebted/thankful to Legosi to the point she actually offers him the option to consume her either sexually or carnivorously. She is still left unresolved herself, tho, so she returns/surrenders to familiar scenarios and "solutions" of the past, Sex (with Louis, for example) and Death (Legosi), clearly jumping the gun and not being able to identify and respect the type of singular relationship she has with Legosi and where/which step they are at the moment. Legosi is NOT the one who's on a "(carnivorous) high" right now, SHE is. She is transferring(!) all her male references and experiences, carnivorous or not, to Legosi - thus not respecting his individuality and his personal brand of love and care for her but mostly his vow NOT TO EAT her. «Our true selves are FROZEN IN TIME in this position» She knew it was Legosi back then but she still hasn't learned how to love others/HIM (other than sexually) since then. She is repeating the patterns of behavior she presented to Legosi the two(!) times she “first” met him (in the park - surrender to Death; and in the Gardening Club - Sex as an offer, as an exchange for one’s life). She is STILL missing all the nuances of Love that can happen between those two options. [Legosi can certainly help her with that part of her Emotional Education.] She did seem to gain some appreciation for her existence when she fought back against the Big Boss but now that she's yet again confronted with another (sexual) carnivore she chooses not to run away physically but EMOTIONALLY and even existentially instead by surrendering herself BOTH to Sex and Death. Legosi must give some of this authority she has bestowed to him over her own life back to her - by (re)turning the “Will you sleep with me or eat me?” proposal to Haru, for example, or by contradicting it altogether and presenting her with a brand new more emotional and personalized relationship proposal, since they are clearly not ready for Sex and the interpersonal respect and self-control it entails.

Remember how much Jacob hated Louis the first 2 or 3 episodes? lol

"Louis could be dead!" *WHY ARE YOU SMILING LOUIS?*

Honestly this is the best kind of reaction content. You guys really analyze what's going on give a perspective and show the viewer (at least me who has seen it already) to think about these characters, situations and the symbolism through a different lense. Love the content guys, excited to see y'all in ep 12

I LOVE LOUIS!!! HE ACTUALLY KILLED THAT LION BADDIE!!!

That reflection on the mirror showing their first meeting was such a visual treat.

One of my favorite details is when the Lion is trying to cock the gun but can’t because his hands are covered in blood, so he tries to use his teeth.

In Manga the Panda had Machine Guns but I guess they cut that for censorship. Well it explains how he took care of the Lions

Caleb's look of utter horror and distress at the thought that Louis might be dead FUELS me.

YES!This episode. It also looks like Louis and Legoshi both saved each others lives, secretly and nobly, from the shadows.

i'm so glad that you guys enjoyed beastars

I don't think they'll miss it, but someone from their Discord tell them to watch the next episode until the very end in order to not miss the post-credit scene.

This is definetly my favorite episode, and it is only because of that scene in the Hotel with mirrors reflecting the first time they met, that was some really powerfull imagery. But also not forgeting how awesome and terrifying Louis intervention was.

10:44 I always got a chuckle at seeing the lovebirds in the shadows They should get a room though. The hotel is right there.

the way you two reacted when Louis showed up at the shishigumi hideout was literally me

Them in episode 1: idk why yall want us to watch some furry CGI bullcrap but here we go.... ten episodes later: *literally anything happens: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Maybe Louis gave his Black Market I.D. number so the Lions could look up it and see who bought him. Which would identify his very influential father and that could save Louis life.

Back in episode 8, there was an important scene with Louis that was briefly shown, but mostly cut due to wanting to keep a reasonable run time. When Bill cut Louis on accident, Bill took him to the back room to help tend to his wound. While alone, Bill kinda said some stuff that Louis took offense to, being called weak for being a herbivore. Bill didn’t really mean for it to sound rude, he was just speaking bluntly, and he also mentioned that he went to the black market (called the Back Ally Market in the manga, and was called the Ghetto in early fan translations.) Bill said something about “finding out Louis’s secret,” which I’m still not entirely sure what he meant. Louis thought he was talking about his passed as live stock, and proceeds to pull out a FUCKING GUN on Bill. Bill was saying he wanted them to see each other as equals, but Louis help Bill to the ground with the gun and firmly told Bill “we aren’t equals”

Honestly I’d love you guys to watch Run with the wind and/or Kanata no Astra (Astra lost in space) they’re both very character driven and have some very emotional moments.

See, this is the issue when you immediately jump to Tier 15. Legoshi should have listened to Jake’s advice.

I'm so happy that you love Louis now xD We need a season 2 asap.

6:59 oh my god I laughed so hard at their reactions

This show is absolutely one of a kind. Studio Orange worked wonders to make this as good as it is.

The ending and beginning of an era.

You are forgetting something about Louis. He wanted to change the world for the better and was ready to sacrifice the girl he loves for political power. Yes, the mayor took his hand, but Louis was actually considering it. That’s when he gave up his pride and his honor. What kind of being would even consider sacrificing the life of his love? Can this being even be trusted to lead? How many will that being sacrifice to crate a better world? How big is the pile of bones this better world is build on?

FEAR THE DEER

I can’t believe I was trying to convince my brother to watch it with me that would’ve been awkward 🤦‍♀️😂

ooooooh boy, I've been refreshing all day for this.

Guys you have to watch "Wolf's Rain" I'm sure you both will absolutely love it

God I cant wait to see how they handle the next arch in this show, it's so good

YALL EXPLODED WHEN LOUIS SHOWED UP LOL, LOVE UR REACTION

you are right that the next episode has a bigger cliffhanger

Louis looked a bit too comfortable icing that lion. As if it wasnt his first time killing.

FYI, I don’t think the mirror/ love hotel shot was done in the manga, or at least if it was, it was quite different. Masterfully done by studio orange, and that music made the scene so much more.

Also btw, id love a compilation of the grunts and woahs of this reaction. For out of context purposes xD

I hope next Monday's podcast is about Beastars.

Finally we're here,, My Favorite Episode..

My favorite episode *squeals*

If you are too hyped for the boss fight, you are probably missing out on the atmosphere. While on the physical level there is a very violent and bloody fight happening, the sound track "Legoshi's feelings" is slow and his internal voice is very serene and introspective. Legoshi finding inner peace is worth paying at least as much attention to as the fight that is happening. Of course you touched on it but I really like the contrast of how Legoshi is supposed to be a scary violent predator, yet even in a situation like this he beats himself up about having to fight and hurt people tries his hardest to avoid killing. And then we have the supposedly weak prey Louis who does not waver or hesitate to murder bad people, stone cold. General tip: Don't take fan subs so literally. Haru might have though "He won't let that night end so easily", but it could also be "Fate won't let that night end so easily" or in the english dub "I guess I won't get away with all this that easily". You guys definitely make some of the best reaction videos out there. Love how invested in the stories you are and how much you discuss them.

17:21 Discussion

When loui came u were like at a sorcer gol for ur team

So it's an old video, and it's far too early in the morning, but I just felt it had to be clarified, cause it's a confusing as hell scene if you don't stop and think about what we know here. Haru thinks she's compelled to climb into Legoshi's mouth, because she's stuck in a situation where her instincts are still telling her to flee. She's in a fairly high pressure situation, but because it's a sexual situation, she feels she's got it handled. She's experienced when it comes to these things. What she isn't experienced with, is dealing with how to handle her instinctual fight or flight reflex, which is probably something she's going to have no problem overcoming, considering the night she went through. So she thinks, anyway. However, in the scene, she's kinda pinned to the bed, with Legoshi looming over, and that bit of mouth opening is all it took for those instincts to kick in. Now, obviously she can't 'flight' when big wolf boi has her pinned to the bed, so the only real option is to 'fight'. Note that she puts her arm into his mouth sideways, which would in fact *NOT* be a particularly good way for an animal to want to minimize it's suffering and die peacefully (a thing I'd originally bought into as well, but is nothing more than fiction. No evidence of rabbits ever doing such a thing exists, and the fable of that happening spans back centuries, to old world folklore.) Instead, she's shoving her arm into his mouth sideways so that he in fact cannot eat her, as she's now blocking the majority of his mouth, and would in essence be forcing him to chew through her arm to continue the attack, at least as far as her instincts are concerned. It's a desperate attempt to save her life, in a situation that doesn't call for such a response. To her though, having never experienced these things, she just says the first thing that comes to her mind, because within a society where devouring *isn't* the default interaction between these two species, a defensive motion like that wouldn't make sense to her. It wouldn't be the first thought to enter her head. Hence, she thinks of herself as weird, or she says 'Hey maybe this kinda thing just happens?' It isn't a situation that two people engaging in something consensual would run into. It'd of been nice for them to go back over this later on, but maybe we'll see some of that kind of discussion happen in season 3.

My fave episode of beastars!!

I was having feels during the last part of the episode and then bam feels gone. But this is the best anime I have watched since Death Note.

Goes in a labrynth maze of stairs that lead to literally any/every 360 degree direction, has a gloomy life Being with haru this episode* Legoshi: Takes a stair and it moves* Wait of all the stairs I take, THIS ONE JUST GOES STRAIGHT UP JUST LIKE THAT?!?!?!

come here again after watching season2 episode9

SOS: *gets to the part of Legoshi and Haru sleeping together* Me saying this in the rhythm of The Box by Roddy Rich: I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE BUT I DON’T LIIIIIKE IT!

Louis when insane oh my gosh

Kind of a newcomer to this channel and watching this halfway into season 2. Needed to comment on this. Spoilers ahead. . . . . . . . . . Damn they nailed the theory about the leadership vacuum in the Leo gang right on the head. It's funny to hear them be so accurate after how much they tend to read too much into most things (from what I've seen so far in this and the Ouran reactions).

A wolf would never actually beat a lion but this is anime lmao

*MANGA SPOILERS* 45:00 (;o_o)

A cool fact about the english dub (which you guys hopefully will check out in your own time) is that Jonah Scott, the voice actor for Legoshi, was able to keep "male mode" as part of the script in that scene. He's also a fan of Beastars himself, so he knew he had to get it in!

[Eggplant] [Sweat Drops]

I just noticed that I never finished this anime 😳 don't now why but the last episode I just didn't watch... i have to watch don't i.... yeah I gonna do it.

I only have one thing to say *Laughs in manga*

I love your Beastars reactions, you should react to Steins:Gate too.

y'all should react to Brand New Animal if you guys like Beastars

It's literally terrifying how close their theories are

Rest in pepperoni Louis

No, it's a fact that Louis doesn't fight any of the lions.

*Haru instinctly tried to crawl into Legosi's mouth when they kiss, so she can be swallowed whole and be eaten the most painless way possible* Audiences: "Wow, that's super dark and deep." Normies: "Goddammit, now the furry anime has vore too? This show is disgusting."

Did you went kermit mode.

Romeo and Juliet don’t have shit on Legosi and Huro.

This episode of Beaststars just makes more sense in the dub, i think that they kinda messed up the wording in this episode especially.

Woooooooooow

Can’t wait till the they meet the Grandad next season

Spoiler If i remember corectly, in the manga Louis throws the gun away before/during his speech so... yeah... he planned to die there I think

New haikyu season 4 part 2 trailer is out!

Ok for those who wants to know a fun fact keep reading for those who don't want something spoiled quit reading now. Legoshi's grandfather is a Kamado Dragon

oh ....Loui is...dead...? (trying to remember this) ....huh

"leave nothing but my antlers" remember a previous scene with Louis where his antlers were the center point his antlers are fake. just food for thought

Can Yall Change SOS Out Yall Videos I Make Music And Yall In The Way Of My Name Atleats give me a shout out

What really bothers about all this stuff is haru, while haru was with legoshi at the hotel, she was still "compromissed" with Louis, yet offering herself even though her feelings are not even close to what Legoshi feels for her and even in the manga, it's clear that she never actually felt really in love with him, the same way she felt for Louis. All the relationship with her and legoshi, always felt very superficial to me.

Remember a whole lot of people didn’t want them to watch this. Furry cringe my ass

Now that this spectacular journey is coming to an end, so how bout picking this underrated gem of a series called Golden Kamuy.
