I absolutely loved BNA. Started the show out of boredom and was completely into it after the first episode.
The story itself was pretty serious and about some topics we have to deal with in our everyday lives.
Things like racism, corruption, religion, politics, life with social media, parenting, friendship and more.
With the deep, absolutely exciting story and some laughs inbetween this anime catched me to the last episode.
The op and ed were absolutely awesome and I'm still listening to them sometimes.
The music overall was exciting and supported the show very well.
Our main protagonist Michiru Kagemori is such a lively person and turns into a cute Tanooki girl...wait, she´s not a raccoon?? Well not exactly! If you wonder what a tanooki looks like, here's a picture:
It's a janpanese subspecies of the raccoon dog. Learned something today, didn't we xD
Later she makes some friends and meets some evil people, but with her powerlevel being over 9000 she manages all the situations pretty well.
I really liked her friends and loved ones too, as they were some pretty interesting characters with their personalitys and nice super powers.Last but not least the art- and animation style. Well, typical for a Netflix Original the art style is clearly not over the top, but surprisingly it suits the anime really well and one is getting used to it after the first few episodes.
The animation however is very nice and fluid. I really enjoyed watching fight scenes in this show.
So what more can I say about the show, I just can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a short powerfull anime with barely everything from a nice story and some fighting to some laughers inbetween. The cool and sweet characters, some nice animations and a fitting artstyle together with the cool music make this anime somehow outstanding and special.
You should definitely at least give it a try and watch the first two episodes.
For me it is a 8.5 out of 10
Why not a 10 if you enjoyed the anime so much?
Well yes, BNA IS a powerfull and nice show, but I felt like this anime could've been much more if they just would've put more effort into it!
Like I mentioned before, the art style is not over the top and could've still been better.
I also would've enjoyed more backstory from all the characters I learned to love, but I can understand that this was simply not possible to manage in such a short amount of time with it's 12 episodes. So maybe with more episodes and more input the show would be a little better.
But thats just my personal opinion and you should definitely make your own on it :)
