As an underwhelming fantasy story about a seemingly weak man who is attached to animals, Beast Tamers seems to be the most laid-back 2022 fantasy anime.
Kodoani.com – Fantasy anime has been dominated by isekai stories for the longest time, to the point where stories that aren’t really isekai are barely removed from it. Such is the case with the upcoming anime series Beast Tamer, there will be many elements that modern fantasy anime fans will love. Featuring both a ridiculously interpreted Japanese title and a shoddy protagonist who finds strength in a group of girls, the film certainly bears notable similarities to other hit movies. other guests.
Suzu Miyama’s original novel series (full title is “The Beast Tamer Who Was Exiled from His Party Meets a Cat Girl From the Strongest Race”) started just a few years ago, so those who have recently been looking for about it or the manga adaptation would be happy to see it quickly make its way to the small screen. Here’s what fans and newcomers alike can expect from the upcoming Beast Tamer anime, which will air soon.
Beast Tamer’s Storyline
Main character of Beast Tamer is a veteran named Rein who used to act as an animal tamer in a group of adventure heroes. Unfortunately for him, his ability to befriend animals was deemed too weak to be useful. Ironically, upon leaving this guild, Rein’s fortunes began to change. Meeting a catgirl named Kanade, Rein acquired some of her abilities after successfully befriending her.
From there, Rein and Kanade set out on a mission to find other half-human and half-beast girls to train and gain power, including the dragon girl Tania and the fairy Sora. Together they discover their own inner strength, with Rein secretly much more powerful than he initially believed.
The plot is said to be similar to some isekai, with “a group of girls accompanied by a seemingly losing guy” comparable to The Rising of the Shield Hero. That show is a purely isekai anime, although there is another similar anime series, Expelled from the Hero group, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Country, is pure fantasy like Beast Tamer.
Trailer for Beast Tamer
The most recent trailer for Beast Tamer shows Rein’s adventurous early days with the original group. Of course, these “good days” don’t exactly exist, with his supposed weakness leading to the guy’s own departure. Rein’s new allies of various hybrid women are introduced since then, with Kanade and Tania demonstrating their battle for their place alongside their new “master”. The overall tone and vibe from the trailer is pretty chill, and despite the glimpses of battles shown, it ends up looking like a pretty relaxing fantasy series.
