About BNA

Meet BNA (BNA ビー・エヌ・エー), an action, comedy and fantasy anime by TRIGGER (2020). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: In the 21st century, the existence of animal-humans came to light after being hidden in the darkness of history. Michiru lived life as a normal human, until one day she suddenly turns into a tanuki-human.

As things develop, she runs away and takes refuge in a special city area called "Anima Town" that was set up 10 years ago for animal-humans to be able to live as themselves. There Michiru meets Shirou, a wolf-human who hates humans. Through Shirou, Michiru begins to learn about the worries, lifestyle, and joys of the animal-humans.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Michiru Kagemori (Sumire Morohoshi) and Shirou Oogami (Yoshimasa Hosoya) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
