Man I loved that game, almost as much as Primal Rage.
Killing Bites definitely revels in the trashy and i'm liking it so far, just the kind of popcorn show i was looking for. Was pretty surprised that Amazon stream uncensored versions of the episodes though.

I'm enjoying this a lot more than I was expecting to going in. The action is surprisingly good, the music is killer and the character designs are good overall, with some above-average animation and comedic timing in general. Looking forward to more.

It's nice to have the occasional show in which you can just turn off your brain and enjoy some trashy entertainment. Reminds me a bit of Tenjho Tenge in that respect. Will keep watching this, and disappointed about the lack of honey badger jokes in the review heh, although I'm sure there will be plenty of memes.

I don't have a problem with him "taking part" in the rape because he didn't. He didn't know they were going to do that and he did refuse to keep driving even though he had no chance of actually stopping 3 guys who were obviously stronger then him.

I personally would rate it A because it one of the most enjoyably anime in this season. I had so much fun watching this anime
It is opposite of that overrated crap called Yuru Camp. That show is so boring that make you want to sleep.

I always find myself enjoying these types of extremely weird and mindless shows especially when it feels like a vast majority of shows this season are Watching Paint Dry: The Animation levels of interesting for me.

Pretty much, with some Dead or Alive what with the amount of boobage going on.
Anyway, it's fine, even if the animal trivia gets a bit repetitive and disruptive to the flow. Hitomi is one of the feistiest female leads in awhile, like if Revy had a little sister furry.

One thing I do find quite refreshing is that this is one of the few series where the female lead isn't actually interested in the male lead, but is dere dere about someone completely different.

I think there's definitely a place for shows like this. Not a masterpiece by any means, but it revels unabashedly in what it is. There are plenty of people it won't appeal to of course, but for those that are interested in what its offering, it has so far been a rather enjoyable viewing experience.

I was a bit surprised about that, too, but I'm guessing that Amazon's exclusive deal with Animeism came with Amazon getting immediate access to uncensored versions. That deal came about while Anime Strike was still around, and not having to wait for a disc release, assuming one happens, in order to see the uncut version would have been at least one selling point to get people to shell out extra money to subscribe to Strike.

Yet another fun episode. Ui is a very likable character, and the rest of the cast remains interesting as well. Also, I have to give the show props for making Hitomi actually enjoy the cosplay, as far too often that trope ends up making the discomfort and humiliation of the girls part of the titillation, which comes across as skeevy, so I'm glad of the direction they took it instead.
Once again I am also impressed by the oddness of the animals chosen, and how they fight; I never would have anticipated that the basis for this episode's antagonists would be lizards that shoot blood from their eye to fend off predators. And as mentioned in the review, I appreciate the continuity of protag-kun's leg still being injured, as well. It's the little things that help, and demonstrate yet again that execution is what really matters.

I have a weakness for bunnies and I like the underdog status of this build team. I am really curious to see how this big battle is going to work because it slightly rings of avatar-based board games as a staple genre in anime lore. I think certain characters are in for a good fight, even brutal failure, to add more dimensions and motivations beyond winning.
I am also not against any of the fanservice thus far. It is not my favorite show to watch each week and not a chore to get through each episode. I still don't like the character transformation designs, but I want to see how far this premise can go with more villianous groups coming out of the woodwork.

I wish they had more unusual animal types like the lizard twins. I have heard of that defense mechanism before but it was pretty cool to see it used as a weapon here. I wonder if there is a skunk fighter, pretty sure they would win by default as no one would want to fight them heh, skunks don't have any natural predators I believe.
