The writing is not very good. I don’t mean the dialogue sucks, but the writers fall again and again for simple mistakes. For example, in one episode, we learn that grey wolves are being treated better by herbivores. However, in the very next episode, we see the main character, a grey wolf, get harassed by herbivores, contradicting the earlier scene. The biggest flaw of the series though are dangaling threads that never get resolved, like: Haru wanting to get eaten by Legoshi Juno’s unrequited feelings for Legoshi Hyperdrugs Six Eyes as a chracter The whole “The person who finds the killer becomes the next Beastar” Segregation of the students Legoshi’s “secret” Etc. Additionally, the creators introduce interesting elements, but instead of exploring them, drop them immediately. One if the biggest ones is Legoshi’s and Haru’s relationship. We understand that it is weird for a carnivore and herbivore to be in a relationship. However, we never get to see how their relationship impacts their personal lives. Hell, in season two, we never see Haru without Legoshi, so we have no idea how others, like the rabbit girl that bullied her, treat her now. For Legoshi, the impact his relationship has on his social life stops and ends at “Did you have sex with a rabbit?” Another factor of there relationship that doesn’t get explored properly is that Haru’s instincts want her to get eaten by Legoshi. We see Legoshi training himself to not want meat, but we never see Haru training herself to not get eaten. I feel you aren’t doing something right if Gohin, a side character, gets more screen time and development than the main character’s love interest. The last big complaint I have is the main plot of season two. In that season, Legoshi tries to find the one who killed Tem. I could never take this plot seriously, because Legoshi doesn’t. He was told to find a killer by a snake, and then he just did. It’s not about avenging his dead friend or anything that results in personal stakes. The writers just wanted him to do this, and unable to think of a good reason, through in Six Eyes to tell Legoshi to go do this thing now. Legoshi has no agency through the entire season in relation to that plot. I don’t know anything about the manga, I’ve never read it, but “That’s what the manga did” is not a suitable excuse for how poorly written the anime was. The writers of the anime are professionals, they should have known better.

There isn’t anything bad about it, it honors and remembers all Disney properties, even Dinosaur, and that movie sucks. It’s really a whose who of characters and I enjoy seeing all of them interact together like this. If you liked this, I suggest watching House of Mouse. Its like this but longer and with only older and popular characters.

I love this show for many reasons, but the thing I want to gush about is how it preserves continuity. “Bluey” is an episodic tv show, so you can watch any episode in any order without missing anything. However, things like relationships between characters and changes in the world carry over from episode to episode. A good example is S2E15 “Stumpfest” and S3E33 “Tradies”. In “Stumpfest”, Chile talks about adding in a fish pond, which is why the Dads are ripping up stumps. In “Tradies”, we actually see people come too put in the fish pond. I love that the creators do this, mainly because I have never seen any other episodic tv show do this before. Its just another reason to watch the show and continue to do so.
