The Tale of the Outcasts – Anime Review
Introduction
The Tale of the Outcasts is one of those anime that can easily go unnoticed despite having a surprisingly strong story and emotional core. It may not be one of the most spectacular or action-heavy series, but it offers something equally important: characters that are easy to care about, emotional relationships, and a story that gradually becomes more engaging.
At first, I did not expect the series to become as enjoyable as it eventually did. The overall level of excitement is not extremely high, but the story is consistently interesting, and the emotional moments give the anime a strong identity.
For me, The Tale of the Outcasts is a very enjoyable and underrated experience, and I would give it 7.5/10.

If you enjoy Black Butler or fantasy stories with magic and demons, and you're looking for something with a warm, happy journey, this anime is for you.
It's exactly what I've been looking for all these years. Imagine Black Butler mixed with Mahoutsukai no Yome, but with a softer and sweeter feel.
If you're worried about it being romance, don't worry, there's no romance plot. You will see the main characters having a strong bond, more like close friends or family.
Honestly, I want to give it a 10 out of 10. The fight scenes are really cool, and I love the storyline.
I just wish they had given more screen time to show the pain and struggles of each character. I'm the type of person who enjoys emotional moment, crying over their backstories, and end it with last epic attack.

This was decent. It told a good, compelling story with likable characters. However, it was also a rushed adaptation apparently, which makes sense considering the great amount of plot contrivances present. The story wants you to suspend your disbelief when it suddenly jumps to a different plot point when it feels like there was supposed to be something before it to connect the dots. The pacing did not necessarily feel fast; instead it seems like some important content was cut, so the story sometimes struggles to stay coherent. On the positive side, the setting and voice acting were very nice, and the visuals were beautiful. The character interactions were very enjoyable and there were some great dynamics. Even so, the animation was lackluster.
In all, this complete adaptation should have de…

The story delved into unique bonds & personal growths between the characters, each true to their personas. While a wholesome plot overall there were a lot of clue's for bigger events & growths that would have added to the storyline that season 1 either rushed or didn't expand on. Storyline was slow at first yet had a very quick ending during last couple of episodes which may disappoint. Needs a season 2 in order for overall rating to rise higher and answer unfinished questions/leads they were going for.
While "furry" is in other reviews, keep in mind this is a wholesome and authentic bond between characters and there were no forms of inappropriateness/romance between any of the characters/children which is a nice take that allows you to really just enjoy the storyline. It was merely thei…

If you are a fan of Kemono (Furry) characters, I recommend this. The demon's design are very interesting. The plot is simple, the motivation of the villains/antagonist pretty basic, but it's all enjoyable. The animation is good, with the exception of the horses pulling the chariots (they have an uncanny 3D animation that you can't unsee). It's not a profound master piece (there's a lot of plot conviniences) but it's enjoyable, though, I find it character of wisteria bland, immature, uninteresting and annoying for my taste. I hope a little bit of more character development in the future. If there's a season 2, I'm interested on the lore of the thirteen calamities.

I enjoyed the magic in the anime, and hope they expand more with it. It felt like the main girl with the white hair was developing some sort of power towards the end of the series; as well as exponential character growth. I would love to see that character growth be cemented in her character during season 2. A couple complaints: fursonas of course. I do not personally like it when animes use fursonas, as it can get weird really fast. And lolis. Once again, this is just a grab for attention from perverts. But none of the actual anime content is perverted, which is refreshing. This anime is excellent in that regard. They are capable of keeping things clean for the most part. The characters are memorable to me, and they have yet to reveal all the greater demons.

I don't understand how this show just went so overlooked, especially since there were furry elements alright, but it is more than what you will expect.
The obvious case of comparison being that of Mahoutsukai no Yome a.k.a The Ancient Magus Bride, mangaka Makoto Hoshino's lone work that is Nokemono-tachi no Yoru a.k.a The Tale of the Outcasts, is a fantasy story that features furries no doubt, but the storytelling makes light of that comparison to try not to be said series but it's very own element, which I think makes it stand out in its own right. No doubt that this was kinda of a complete but rushed adaptation of the total 8 volumes and 56 chapters that were released from late 2019 to mid 2021, and what the anime did to sully this expectation, I think it came out alright to get its mai…
