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. The setup: 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.

Along the way, she runs away and takes refuge in a special metropolis area called "Anima City" 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 sets off to learn about the worries, lifestyle, and joys of the animal-humans.

With action at the core, 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. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with TRIGGER, which means the visual identity of BNA follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. At 7.2/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Voice casting, including Sumire Morohoshi as Michiru Kagemori, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu.
