Let's start with something, the single idea of this show sounds pretty good, the concept of beastmen living in a society in which those individuals are not very appreciated could be something that could be used for a good world building and exploration, but everything goes down at the moment the story begins to progress through all those few 12 episodes.
Before starting with the main aspects of the anime, it's is obvious that this review will contain some spoilers in some parts, you can continue if you want.

I could say that in the beginning the story was pretty interesting, the idea of Michiru a tanuki girl who used to be a human and is going to Anima City to investigate more about how she ended transformed into a beastmen, and the introduction of characters such as Oogami who is an enigmatic Wolf that has a small secret behind and all the plan made by Alan to eleminate the impure beastmen was ok, but there are problem in here.
There where a lot of missed opportunities in this anime, for example in the Episode 2 in which the bunny lady suggested to Michiru that soon she would know how the girl beastmen where treated in Anima City, and well that idea it was just thrown off in all the anime and never recovered.
The storytelling through all this was pretty awkward since they where lots of ideas that were suggested in the story but at the end, most of them where just never picked up again. Also I had a feeling that the last few episodes really tried to make a conclusion to almost all the ideas they had, making the ending feel so abrupt, and lack of something. All thanks to the length of the series being composed of only 12 episodes, so yeah this didn't help in the way how the story was made.

This is one of the strongest point in all the show, since well is Studio Trigger we're talking about, in the moment of creating a good animation sequence or just the simple color combination makes all of the world and characters feel alive. So yeah we can say this is the best.

I could say that almost all the characters felt pretty enjoyable especially Michiru and Oogami, the only character which I personally had a problem in understanding was Nazuna, since she started up with a very particular way of acting especially with Michiru since she didn't even listen to her, but then she began to take her in consideration, so yeah it was a bit off.

So in the end the anime was pretty enjoyable and has some good points, but the amount of missed opportunities throughout all the anime was something that finished affecting a lot of the things that where happening, since they left a lot of ideas and even in the end they tried to connect all of those and finish it with a very abrupt feeling.
I could recommend this anime but I also got some mixed feelings through it, so if you want to see an anime with very good visuals and characters you could try it.
This is one of my first reviews in the whole platform, so it might have some problems in the writing or structure, especially since the English is not my first language. So yeah at least I tried.
