Killing Bites

After unknowingly participating in a kidnapping, college student Yuuya Nomoto finds his friends brutally murdered by Hitomi Uzaki, the high school girl they attempted to abduct. Forced to drive her to an undisclosed location, he finds himself being wagered as the prize for a death match between two Therianthropes, superpowered human-animal hybrids created through advanced gene therapy. As one of these hybrids, Hitomi uses the speed and fearlessness she gained from her ratel genes to viciously dispatch her foe and save Yuuya from certain death.

Waking up hours later hoping the whole event was only a nightmare, Yuuya realizes that he has become embroiled in a secret proxy war between four large Japanese business conglomerates, with the winner taking control of the economy. As her sole albeit unwilling investor, his life is now directly linked to Hitomi's ability to participate in underground bloodsport matches known only as Killing Bites.

The story is basically battle royale but with animals. These people are infused with specific animal DNA resulting in them being able to turn into their animal forms. Okay not the best story wise but the fighting is what really drew me into this anime. Okay I would be lying if it was 100% the fighting, a large portion of it revolved around the amount of HEAVY fan-service in this anime. Which can always boot the enjoyment of an anime as well.

The art and animation was really well done. LIDENFILMS has yet to disappoint me when it comes to high quality art and animation.

The opening ... and ending were so good. The ending was a good head banger/ running song and the op was really entertaining. The music during the show fit it perfectly as well A lot of heavy metal is a great thing when it came down to it.

The characters were fantastic. Really i felt only one character did match their animals when it came to personality, each basically fit their characters perfectly.

When it came to enjoyment I really loved it. The fights were better then most fights I have seen in DBZ, Naruto, Bleach etc. They were unpredictable and very well animated.

Overall this was actually a decent anime to watch. I can see why the score would be swayed either high or low because of peoples tastes, but overall I think this show deserves a little more praise.

Mixed Feelings

Whoever has the sharpest claws wins.. not in this case.

Story 5: its another battle royale! Not really special, but I do like the whole animal side of it. Having their animal features and their abilities was pretty cool.

Art 5: Noting special here, a couple of good ecchi scenes though.

Sound 5: Voices were good, tracks were okay and the tracks reminded me of the 90s rock music (the middle cut scene)

Character 4: I didn't like alot of them, you have the typical shy guy that has a hot girl as a partner. If I had to pick a favorite character it would be kido ... takeshi, I love for what he stands for and his story about his mother was good too.

Enjoyment 4: I did like it (since I finished it lol), best part of the anime was when Hitomi and Eruza were in that confused state.
The ending was good too, it was a good twist.

Overall 4.8: It was good, not much more to say tbh.

Would I recommend?
I mean why not its not pathetic, its okay. I would say don't waste your time watch something better, but you watch what you want :D

Thanks for reading!
If you have any question or talk anime feel free to msg me :D

This is the biggest piece of dog-ass I have ever watched

My dad was on amazon prime and found this trash, so I was forced to watch 12 episodes of horny degeneracy

All the fetishes, incest, panty-stealing, yuri, furry, and even r*pe are all accounted for

Plot:
a fucking battle royale with no stakes, cause you know that the only damage the women will take is there clothes being ripped off, but for the men, fuck em, tear them limb from limb, we need gore somehow

Animation:
... Same old slock, but at least it has some of the worst CG I've ever seen so that's just great

Characters:
I hate them all, especially the main badger girl, with her stupid fucking catchphrase that is supposed to be cool, but is always painfully fucking forced

This was the worst anime experience of my life, just imagine watching this with your parents, cause that's what happened to me, do yourself a favor and pretend like this doesn't exist, and let it be forgotten by the sands of time
