I do not own the anime. No copyright infringement intended. Animation Studio: Orange ( Licensed by Netflix ) Thanx for watching! xoxo INSTAGRAM: ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ www.instagram.... TWITTER: ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ / lalafluffbunny THANK YOU!!
I've seen a lot of reaction vids where people jump to the wrong conclusions about Louis's fate. I think Orange forgot (or chose to leave out) one important tiny little detail that would've made Louis's intentions very clear. In the manga, he very clearly drops the gun when the lions show up which made it obvious to the manga reader that he meant exactly what he said. I didn't see it or even hear it thud on the floor in the anime.
@@MrShugynator Actually Orange has left out some important scenes of Louis. I guess it's to save time for Legosi and Haru. That makes Louis not that attractive as he is in the manga. Just a little bit disappointed.
That last scene is Haru’s instincts’ and society’s pressures’ on Haru telling her that she’s Legosi’s prey, that this relationship was probably a terrible mistake and that this *The scene itself* is what will happen in the end. It’s basically just her body trying to end it instinctively believing it’s in inescapable danger, which some animals’ do actually do such as rabbits’. Edit: (Wow ok thanks for the likes’).
@@alextomanov1842 Going out with a bang literally has four possible meanings: Death by explosion Death by gun Death by snu snu Dating an explosion None of these is applicable to being eaten by lions. That would be going out with a nom.
Louis went to help Legosi with all intentions of dying. He said that he "lost his honor" because he was ashamed of himself for not originally going to save Haru with Legosi. This was basically in his eyes him redeeming himself. He honestly didn't care what the lions did to him, he knows Haru is safe now.
This episoooooode!! Man the studio has stepped up on the animation in this episode! As for the surprise scene with Haru; in the wild, most prey animals when caught will give up in a hurry, trying to get the pain over with, so her body was so confused and went into that mode. If that felt like an interruption, that's intentional. The writer is so good at giving all these actions impact, so it feels way more real. And yeah I LOVED the visual of the first episode on the mirror, so good! Excited for the next video!!
Goats do something similar If a herd is being chased by a predator, one of them might freeze up, sacrificing themselves in order to make time for the rest to escape.
Wow I didn't know that. It wasn't explained well in the manga, even Haru was confused as to what she was doing. I interpreted that moment as Harus feelings for Legosi crossed with her own view of herself as prey, waking up her dormant vore fetish but that makes so much more sense.
The final scene just means her body is telling her: "remember rabbits usually are eaten by wolves". This Anime shock me every time, one of the best i've ever seen!
@@Zenoc_gamer Haru is a "Netherland Dwarf Rabbit", one of the smallest Domestic rabbits. I'm not a Vet, but i've never heard about rabbits flying in to in the predator's mouth. Anyway it's something we will understand in the next episodes for sure. When she say: "falling in love with a Wolf was a terrible mistake", she's reffering to the future i suppose.
I feel like they could've worded it differently. Something like 'my body is rebelling against me. Against this whole situation. It's trying to tell me that falling in love with this wolf was a terrible mistake' or something. Saying she's trying to get eaten instinctually seems very obtuse to me.
@@fabiopalmieri4596 Rabbits have genes like that. When rabbits feel that they are gonna eaten, their bodies jump into the mouth of predator or into the head or something. They sacrifice themselves for suffering less or safety their children. I think I explained this very understandably :)
I'm just gonna copy-paste what I mentioned to others reacting to this end part: The big problem is just that Haru hasn't gone through all the massive battle with herself that Legosi has. Legosi's spent like at least a month dwelling on these things, and even though it hasn't been too long since he's come to grips with being in love with her, he's been thinking and fighting with himself for at least that long. Haru's fought her instincts to run while simply being around him, but they kind of play that off as like 'This is the stuff small herbivores have to do all the time around carnivores'... but now she has to deal with her own, deeper feelings towards Legosi... and her body's literally like 'Quickest way to end this is just get eaten, instead of suffering in the hands of your natural predator', and that's a thing she thought she could handle with her intimate experiences to this point, but just like Legosi, it ain't that easy. I think they're playing up the idea of herbivores, who typically have larger families, might sacrifice limbs/themselves in the hopes of offspring surviving to an extreme. You also hit on it at the end there, it's definitely a thing that could be overcome if they just grew comfortable with each other, they just don't have that yet.
Well... - Lous come to make suicide. Because his mental just broke. All the fighting for, all the social power hr build was pointless when he even can't save one girl he loves. And all his traumas broke him. He has no childhood and was rise by a man who thinks that traumatize children make them stronger... It does not make them stronger, this make them weak and crazy. And Louis stop plays his proud guy role, and just broke into madness... - Haru, in the end, was not want to be eaten, she just was overconfident. She thinks she knows everything about sex and needs male... But this is a large carnivore, and her instincts to block/run away/fight for her life was just too strong. Because in the end not only Legosi must overcome his instincts, but she too. - These are my interpretations. - Also, this episode was great.
For explaining the louis scene He said he was going to fade into darkness. And in the ed. He pats legosi on the shoulder and fades away. Louis is genuinely offering himself up as penance. But. Fate has an odd way of changing the meaning behind proclomations like "im going to fade into darkness"
I feel that Orange try to focus more on Legosi. Some important scenes of Louis was left out. I understand that as they want to save time for Legosi and Haru. But only after you have read the mange can you feel the true charisma of Louis.
To me, that last scene with Louis came across as him finally coming to a realization: he wanted to be the Beastar to show everyone, including himself, that's he's no longer "No. 4"--the poor, defenseless livestock. But if being Beastar meant he still had to go through the motions and play along with the adult world that once upon a time tried to eat him--then, really, even if he becomes the Beastar, has he really changed? If he just plays along and goes with the flow, then maybe he really is just livestock. So, in a way, his decision to go "Fuck this" and give up his ambition to save Haru and help Legosi finally gave Louis what he was looking for: true empowerment and genuine pride. In this one act? He finally got all the proof he needed: he, Louis, _is not a coward._ He, Louis, is the type of man who'd stand his ground against a gang of lions and dare them to do their worst.
Gosh... I just understand the true meaning of opening... It tells us the whole story... And in the end, is blood and not Haru skull, but Adlers mask... And blood... Louis is between them all the time, and in the end, he is gone.
Gonna paste this here to answer your question about Haru's reaction: When a pray animal is caught by a predator they tend to just give up and accept their fate. If you've ever seen a cat catch a bird you'll notice the bird doesn't even try to fly even if you get the cat off of it. Maybe it was kinda like that?
The scene where Haru stuck her arm in Legoshi’s mouth was a ‘suicide attempt reflex’. When in a vulnerable situation with no solution, rabbits put their body in a predator’s mouth to either get it done with or there is no hope left for the rabbit.
Thats something i didnt like in the adaptation, because in the manga they show Louis droping his gun and kinda bracing for impact, they did it in a way that nobody is understanding what hapened to Louis and that this was his suicide. to bad, i wanted to see peoples reaction to it.
Yeah, rabbits will sometimes when in panic while caught by a predator spasm so abruptly as to break their own neck to end it early (because cats and the like play with their prey, which is quite a torturous ordeal). In the show it's more along the lines of societal pressures mixed with some of that. In the story the point of the scene is to establish that it isn't just Legosi who has to overcome his instincts for the relationship to work. It's also not nearly the wildest thing Haru does xD
Just about to watch your reaction girl, but just let me say, this episode was SO good!, im jumping straight to the manga after next weeks episode, cant wait for a year to see how it all goes. Edit: im sorry, i had to pause when you threw your kitty aside like a freaking ragdoll HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA omg that was hilarious. Ive had cats all my life, the kitty landed safely and still loves you im sure, but man that was funny, poor kitty🤣.
@@poetryletter almost started reading it after Haru got kidnapped actually!, but ive been loving this animation so much that decided to go blind for the rest of the season. Thank goodness for the holidays though, im gonna be reading non stop next week *-*, how do you like it so far??
I just figured that her body is saying that being killed by a wolf(a natural instinct reaction) is much better and less painful than falling in love with a creature that are meant to be a threat. As if going through with this romance will bring a whole new series of pain, since the dorm women stated that a love between carnivores and herbivores is abnormal.
After last episode I was kinda confused why they would cut off right in the middle of a fight scene but *SPOILERS* having legosi rip the fuck apart someone else with his teeth *in front of haru* and then them tryna get it on later added SO much tension
I liked the intimate moments between legos and haru, and I would want them to be together. I could imagine an AMV of legos and haru moments with the song "Spanish guitar" by Toni Braxton. Plus it sucks that this show has 12 episodes. There is stuff I heard about in the manga, that I like to see happen in the anime. It could get a 2nd season, since I heard the manga is popular and has won awards. P.s. nice earrings! See ya in the next one.
Rabbits have no defensesagainst predators, so they tend to die even before the bite hits. Like a suicide to make it quick. My friend used a twig to play with his pet bunny and didnt realise he was scaring it and it just diedfrom aheart attack. This may be a representation of that. The quick death thing? Idk.
Great reactions and analysis! Louis is throwing away his life of expectations. He has a fiancee so the relationship with Haru is impossible to keep. He wanted Legosi to go because he couldn't. But in the end his guilt made him chose to throw out his Beastar future with the exposure the Mayor threatened, but he went covertly so as to not damage his father's reputation. He sees Legosi as strong and not using his power - until now, while he sees himself as weak but doesn't see his own strength. So he is throwing it all out in an effort to make his life meaningful to himself. Well....now we wait for Season 2.
Louis pulling out a gun is a shock, but suits him surprisingly well. If he can't overcome the difference in strength naturally there are things like guns that equal out the playing field. The shipping wars are definitely still ongoing. Louis definitely made his way up there, too. So does Legosi deserve her love more just because he was faster? And did Louis beg to be eaten because he now completely lost Haru? There is so much unanswered! And without Louis we don't really get any resolution, do we? I personally ship Legosi and Haru. They need each other. Just haven't realised it yet.
The way I see it is this: Louis made a last minute decision to sacrifice his position as a Beastar candidate in order to save Haru. However, as soon as he realized that Legosi already saved her, he also realized that everything that he had worked up to would be inevitably destroyed for absolutely nothing. The mayor, the person who blackmailed him into remaining a bystander, would almost certainly hear of the incident that occurred within the shishigumi hideout. On top of that, he, Legosi, and haru had all broken campus curfew for being out of their dorms for too long. As stated by that administrator, breaking campus curfew was cause for major disciplinary action. One would consider that it wouldn't put a very good public image on a person that was supposedly to become the next Beastar. Essentially, Louis knew he was screwed. As far as he was concerned, his life was pretty much over. Now he'll never be able to reach the perfection that he always desired. Not only did he break his father's promise in doing whatever it took to become the next Beastar, but he also ended up losing the girl that he loved because he couldn't pull himself together when it counted. Once again, he saw the narrative of a carnivore being both mentally and physically stronger than him. At that point, the only way that he could truly vent those frustrations was by striking fear into a carnivore, and then killing him in a brutal way. That was about the only benefit that Louis really got out of jeopardizing everything he had. Aside from that, now he has nothing left to lose.
Her instincts r kicking into defense mode, she’s using her arm to block him from biting her, but because she’s so small she had to get closer, so that’s why her instincts made her go close into his mouth to use her arm to block him from “biting or eating” per say.
Some herbivores will, at times, give up when they realize they are doomed and kinda push itself into death as soon as possible to get it over with. Thats what Haru´s body tried to do. In the height of its confusion with all of her feelings, and in front of Legosi´s giant teeth baring at her, it kinda interpreted it as its final moment and tried to get it over with.
When Haru says "instinctively trying to enter your mouth", as it appears, rabbits kind-of suicide when in a hopeless situation. Rabbits prefer to jump into predators mouth to be swallowed whole, rather than to be mauled or chewed and die slowly in pain... Nature is dark... Haru basically feels suicidal now (instincts)...bizarre relationship :)
This episode is my favorite one so far. Next week, after episode 12, Season One is over! I love this series! Looking forward to more seasons in the future! In the meantime, I'll continue reading the manga, which is also really good, btw!
OMG!!! I shouted when the cat flew away!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm crying HAHAHAHAHA.... I noticed the kitty gets more screen time during Beastars than any other reaction videos..
Louis is such a good character tbh, but it seems the anime left some really good parts of him out. Like before we get his past, he actually has a moment with Bill in the manga, where he threatens Bill with the gun he'd later use on the Lion Boss, because Bill tells Louis that he discovered his past while in the Black Market. This is overall a really nice episode tho 💙
In the final scene when Haru was trying to get into Legosi's mouth instinctively, you can explain this action as Vorarephilia, which is a paraphilia characterized by the erotic desire to be consumed or eaten by, or personally consume another creature. In the scene, it shows that as a herbivore, there's some sort of instinctive desire built in their genes, which is the eco-food chain that should not be violate. Their instinct is to understand that being eaten is normal, in order to maintain the eco-cycle.
Oh the "instinct" thing she mentions is kinda BS. In RL, rabbits live in colonies, so they are related to the other rabbits in the colony. So in RL when rabbits get hit by predators, they often give up and scream their butts off really loud. Normally that excites and attracts preds. BUT, it warns other rabbits in the area that there is a pred in area and to get under cover. So in that sense, yes there is a kinda "self sacrifice" reflex that rabbits do when a pred goes to town on them.
the ending scene reminds me of the scene where Haru and Legosi were having lunch and every time Legosi took a bit of his lunch Haru's leg would involuntarily twitch. Her rabbit-survival instincts were telling her to run.
5:38 The lion boss knew he was dealing with just a bunny girl. Then Legosi, did his surprise attack and was busy defending against Legosi. So that Lion boss had no opportunity to find that hidden gun until then. 9:16 To me, it would look like the lions might be too scared to eat that deer with a gun and had expressing a death wish.
I love that yakisoba scene, I believe that the moment she's taking in there is when she truly falls in love with Legosi, and I like that it's that quiet, simple moment rather than the heroic chaos of saving her that really makes it crystallize in her head.
In other translation, the subtitles said that her DNA was trying to punish her for that relationship she´s having with Legosi, so her arm went into his mouth as a punishment. It still sounds weird though.
I watched the episode first and then your reaction. I almost died laughing in this part: 17:18 Because I did exactly the same! It was like WTF and then ... Google please! HAHAHAHA (Oww the cat hahaha ♥)
Louis seems to see himself as prey - unsurprising, considering he was livestock for the first few years of childhood and would have been told that he's prey, and likely believed it. It's like he's trying to get over it, but can't.
When rabbits are captured by a predator. The rabbits natural instinct is to surrender and accept their fate and to be devoured by their captor. It's a way to show that rabbits want a quick death besides struggling.
I been looking for the instinct of the rabbits to get eated like that but the closer think I found is trying to kick the predator but i think the intention of the scene is showing that rabbits will never feel good being that close to a wolf and that’s why haru thinks having something will legoshi it’s a bad idea.
I think that in the scene where Haru instinctively wants to enter Legosi's mouth is a kind of way of saying that she's going back to " her place ", it's the prey and he's the predator. In those moments, the rabbit would be directly devoured by the wolf
Girl IMO, the fight with the Lion Boss more than made up for the infiltration scene from last episode. I think holding back on having Legosi use his teeth and claws really made the boss battle more cathartic. Louis’ scene too, urgh. I think he was suicidal anyway and wanted to stall time for Legosi and Haru so they wouldn’t be chased. Just when we think that Legosi’s got the girl, their instincts are in the way. From what I’ve seen as a young kid addicted to National Geographic, there are prey animals who just freeze up when they know they can’t escape. In herd animals it’s to stall for time for the rest. I think the point they wanted to make in that scene was Haru’s instincts forcing her to see that she’s going to die if she puts herself in constant close quarters with him.
