Beast Tamer

Beast Tamer

Introduction

Among all the beasts that roam the world, there are unique types of "ultimate species" that harbor immense strength and magical prowess considered to be at the top of the power scale. As such, many humans covet their abilities, leading some of these species to the brink of extinction. As a beast tamer, Rein Shroud can employ the assistance of various animals for many tasks, such as reconnaissance and logistics. By virtue of his ability, he joins a party led by the vile and manipulative hero Arios Orlando, only to be banished after six months due to his uselessness as a non-combative class. However, unbeknownst to the team that cast him away, Rein is an exception among beast tamers. His potential becomes apparent when he meets Kanade—a cat spirit who is also one of the ultimate species—and is able to form a contract with her. With Kanade by his side, Rein sets out on his journey as an adventurer, steadily rising up the ranks and meeting more ultimate species along the way. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Beast Tamer is a surprisingly enjoyable fantasy anime that focuses on teamwork, kindness, and growth rather than pure power or domination. The story follows Rein, a Beast Tamer who is expelled from the hero’s party because he is considered “useless.” However, as the story progresses, it becomes clear that Rein is far more capable than anyone initially believed. What makes this anime stand out is how it portrays Rein’s character. He is calm, humble, and genuinely kind, especially toward the beasts and companions he meets. Instead of treating them as tools, he respects and cares for them, which naturally builds strong bonds. This approach feels refreshing compared to many other fantasy anime where power is gained through force alone. The relationships between characters are another strong po…

Totally adequate 3rd-screen content. 6/10 TL:DR; The theme of this light-hearted beast-girl-harem power-fantasy is "you shouldn't be able to do that." A sentence that would actually describe a few different shows. This one, though, has some good character design, fun adventures, and passes the "good enough" mark in nearly every aspect. The Full Review: Have you ever felt inadequate in a group of friends? Like you didn't measure up to their expectations? Did they actively bully you out of the group and demean you? Have you ever wanted to prove to them you were actually a super valuable member of the crew? Like so valuable that if you left, everyone's lives would grind to a halt and the leader would obsessively fixate on putting you in your place to the point of self-destruction? Have you…

the plot is basically non existant, it may as well be another boring harem slop anime, and it basically is, with the difference being that its executed in a way that's really satisfying, especially based on the track record of harem anime. now, if you want good plot, and you want to actually consume any brain power watching this, give up, do NOT watch this. but if you're bored and just want a nice happy ending type thing, this is for you. i really enjoyed this anime personally because i watched right after some slop isekai, and this really was a breath of fresh air

FIRSTLY- I swear I've seen that fox girl before so I had to look into it and sure enough twas in a recent gentai episode. I thought I was crazy but indeed she's even got the slave vibes and exact clothing as well. Looking past the dark side of my sins, beast tamer is easily described as a justice hype show for around middle school age viewer. There's nothing inherently terrible about it but there really isn't anything captivating. It's a feel good, low effort animation with lazy voice acting and a cocktail napkin script. No matter how hard I tried to like the characters I failed. They're such blobs of pixels, lacking any emotion or depth. The girls sure are cute and well drawn yet there's an obvious hollowness which ends up being so off-putting it'll make you question your 2D girl fetish.…

Knowing the anime scene all too well, I absolutely expected Beast Tamer to be an average, modern anime that's full of fan service and depthless characters. While the art style and name indicate that, there's an old saying "don't judge a book by its cover". While full of lovely girls, there was little fan service, a lovable MC, and a unique plot. The world itself is similar to that of your average isekai. But hallelujah! It's not another isekai! A hero and his party are brought together to fight and defeat the demon king; in this case, we are not following either, but rather a man that was let go from a hero's party. His abilities are unique and well thought out along with the world building surrounding the power system. My only real problem with Beast Tamer is the show got pretty cheesy…

Look guys, none is judging you by what anime you watch, ok? If you like wholesome anime with simple but likeable plot and story which doesn't need to be complicated than it's a good pick for you. People can say bad stuff about this anime but once you start watching you'll like it's story. Warning: This anime is predictable and story isn't that peak and characters may feel like they are forced. This also harem so don't watch if you dislike harem. It's a story where you can turn your brain off and enjoy a simple story of mc and his companions. Wanna say it again that this is just a simple plot story and people who likes very deep stories and searches meaning for every move should avoid this anime. This anime will feel very simple but quite intriguing and guy's anime is fantasy. So why strug…

Impressively Bad Writing, inconsistent as all hell, I guess I gotta do this spoiler free although I dislike doing that. It's impressive that a story that's just a copy paste of the same story that's been told a 100 times already, that you still managed to mess it up. It's like not even being able to make the simplest dish without ruining it. The power levels/abilities are inconsistent and they forget they can do things all the time. They never really get back to his "back story/village" it's constantly mentioned in his head but it's never a plot point. Not even in the final episodes which it seemed to build up towards but it just dropped the ball completely on that. The characters aren't even that terrible but it's just literally everything else, it's full of holes. Oh well and of course t…

An anime about a beast tamer that gets kicked out of the hero's party for apparently being useless from the hero's party perspective, and him going off adventuring alone and meeting different "beasts" that he tames... So yea... beasts... if beasts were humans with a few animal features, then oh man, a lot of people are into "beasts" these days, huh? This anime is not an isekai, but if it was, I would consider it a thrash isekai. It is just pure fantasy, but not a really well done one imho. The story presentation is pretty cringe. Only good vibes, which quite a few times feel forced, MC always gets that luck to meet the beasts/people at the right time, wins them over with his basic nice guy friendliness and makes contracts with them, and they happily agree... but there's no feeling of st…

Supposedly only the beginning of the story, there is more left to explore. It is a simple yet wholesome anime of a likeable MC with a genuine heart. There are also plenty of funny interactions that are once again just so wholesome. If you're looking for a relatively straightforward plot with a bit of comedic and wholesome relief, then this is the anime to watch. Nonetheless, there isn't much complexity or deep dive into the characters and the story as a whole. That is one aspect they could definitely explore on more. Yet, hopefully there will be a sequel season soon.

This is an anime that easily could've been a 7/10, but due to it's horribly made antagonists and abysmal pacing, it makes this an obvious 5.5/10 due to it being so immensely bland that it isn't worth your time. Then you may say "why did you mark this as a not recommended, instead of a mixed feelings?", this is simple to answer. The answer is, it's bland and is cookie cutter levels of basic, with no real personality, but doesn't do anything inherently bad or good enough to be positive. As such, it just ends up to be immensely frustrating for how much potential it has but doesn't do anything with it, causing this to be utter trash. - More precise reasons why this isn't good, and some positives down below - Reasons why this absolutely sucks: 1. Way too many characters in the harem, which…

In an age when nature and magic rule the world, there is an extraordinary legend: the story of a warrior who communicates with animals, who fights sorcery and the unnatural. His name is Dar- i mean Rein Shroud, last of his tribe. He is also called Beast Master- i mean Beast Tamer. Its nothing special. The anime starts off with Rein getting scolded and fired by his squad. They label him as weak and useless because all he can do is talk to animals, or so they think. Rein doesnt really "tame beasts" though. A catgirl is about to get mauled by some kind of sabertoothed tiger. You'd think he'd use his "beast taming" skill but tries to fight it with a knife... and loses. Only for the catgirl to save the day. But because this is anime the airheaded catgirl really likes him and lets him tame h…

The anime itself its pretty decent. I didn’t expect that much when i read the title. The show truly delivers what it is supposed to be delivered which are harem and isekai. The conflicts / problems didn't feel quite impactful but it’s decent. Here are the score for each aspects : Story 6/10 : the story feels a little stale and seems the storyline keeps repeating in a loop. The best plot is just in the middle of the entire series. The ending didn’t feel quite impactful too Art 7/10 : Beautiful scenery displayed in this anime. The animation is almost the same like any other isekai anime. Sound 7/10 : Some of the voice acting is spot on but some felt kinda short and it doesn't fit the character. OP was pretty good, but ED feels common. Character 6/10 The main character is like other MC but ju…

This is basically just Pokémon with cute cat girl bitches. “Uhm, ackshually, they’re not all cat girls, but rather various magical demihu-“ SHUT THE FUCK UP, EUGENE! A new budding subgenre of the parent fantasy category seems to be that in which a member of the hero’s party gets kicked out or banished for one reason or another, and then, on his own, grows to be greater and stronger than his old mates and becomes the de facto protagonist of the story. In a sense, you could call Shield Hero the prototype of this style of narrative development. Beast Tamer is not the first of its kind, but it’s the first I’m watching, though I suppose Chillin’ in My 30s technically meets the criteria, if not explicitly. The show is just about as artificial as they come. The warm candy-colored palette, the v…

Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer, Saikyoushu no Nekomimi Shoujo to Deau. A realy enjoyable anime to watch,personally i give it a 8,61 ratings. For the overall story plot, this anime is not much different from other anime. It can be said that the plot offered is still quite mainstream and it is easy to guess where it will go. It feels like this anime will be very far from originality because in terms of plot it still imitates a lot and there are already many other anime that have the same plot. But at least the anime was executed very well which made me as a viewer really enjoy the storyline given. The main character here at least has a strong enough background to drive where this story will go. And for the side actors, it is very unfortunate because there is no background story…

[Casual and cute yet full of action and intriguing world-building; light yet with decent, adequate plot and conflicts. A nice, wholesome fantasy watch. 9/10] After having completed it and coming back to see how there are more 'not recommended' than 'recommended', I definitely feel compelled to recommend it to future watchers! Beast Tamer has a unique and fresh storyline and worldbuilding although its world is not explored, explained, nor elaborated much. Nevertheless, it's definitely up there as one of the best OP MC-kind of fantasy anime cliche. Sure, it still very much follows the template of OP MC animes, but the back story, the struggle, the social trauma, the different backgrounds and personalities of each characters - they're all quite fresh and enjoyable, not boring in the slighte…

This isn’t a show I’m that passionately angry about like Rent-A-Girlfriend but it is a show that I have no choice but to recognize as the objectively worst show I have ever seen. This show has nothing. The main character is the most obvious Mary Sue I have ever seen. It’s somehow worse than Kirito because at least in SAO they attempted to make him edgy. In Beast Tamer this dude (I still don’t know his name) may as well be Jesus with how unbelievably perfect he is (without the charisma of course). He does not have a personality. And the girls are no better. They are all just one-dimensional cliches. You have the peppy happy girl who likes him. The snarky but kind girl who likes him. The nice and blunt twin loli duo who likes him. The tragic shy loli who likes him. And literally in the last…

Absolutely fantastic, top quality show! Binge-Worthy!!! Very well designed characters and the voice acting is supreme! Story is on the humorous end. This show was obviously made with love and heart. Truly adorable characters. Lots of Lolis. In today's perverted, warped, MAP-ped, hentai-stricken world. The dialogue writer is a master of his-her art. If you are depressed, watch this show to be healed by lots of lovely interaction. The hero presents the perfect mythical image as he is absolutely candid, honest supremely positive moral example. Almost as if the show creators were deliberately attracting Lolicon watchers and then they provide them with the correct moral archetype. Therapy By Kindness to heal the warped hearts of hentai lovers. Story and dialogues shine here, supported by the…

It s not realy a generic anime but if you already watched many anime you might be able to predict few event but some time you might be surprised by character's react and i guess it's why you gona watch the next episode. There is not that much else to say about this anime just take a look if like me you start watching top 10 anime with (idk) where anime coming from no where are show...

Recommended, with some caveats and surely not for everyone, but for those that like it, it'll be a nice relaxing anime. An important consideration is that one of the main reasons I liked this anime, if not the main reason, was the PT-BR dub, which was really well made. Overall, and giving a very simplified review, it's a simple, chill and shallow-plotted anime. Battles are lacking, plot is very... eh, shallow and with many holes, really; but wholesome and has great, great PT-BR dub. It rarely ever swings into ecchi, so it's also safe to watch with children in my point of view.

Not sure where the hate is. It's like people were expecting either an erotic isekai beast-harem, or some epic world-spanning adventure tale. This show doesn't advertise itself as any of that, and it's none of them. It is EXACTLY what it advertises itself to be, a fun semi-sweet little romp of someone discovering they have worth while making a family of waifus. It's mostly done in an innocent sweet way. The art is pretty good, the animation standard, decent voice acting and the subs are fine. It's not high art or super-great anime, but it's not bad. I give it an extra half point taking it from 6.5-7 in in my book because it doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. It's not laying claims to high-fantasy, or insane story. It's not trying to be an erotic tease show with way to much fan-servic…
