Kemono Michi: Rise Up

I was really hyped up for the final match filled with tension and emotion. The rivalry between Genzou and MAO feels complex, despite competing with each other, there is still respect and friendship. Such a satisfying ending story and character growth very well.

Carmilla’s character development is surprisingly good, even though she is often reckless and completely clueless at times, her motivation for her mistress' sake deserves appreciation. This episode also balances the action with humor, especially through Hanako’s personality and unexpected wise attitude.

This episode shows wholesome moments, Maria’s attitude reflects her kindness and genuine affection. At the same time, Genzou once again shows how responsible he is. The conflict was resolved in a surprisingly heartwarming way from both sides.

This plot shows Genzou's stubbornness to chase his dream and to insist on doing things his own way. His extreme dedication of making humans accept animals is still the main story, and the interactions between Genzou and the princess keep creating funny moments while I'm excited for what happens next.

Woah, Genzou’s passion for wrestling really stands out, he believes wrestling is full of rivalry, teamwork, and entertainment. This episode creates the perfect match while still keeping the comedy fun and chaotic. It’s also enjoyable to see the friendship between them.

Genzou's character is sometimes difficult to understand, but he also shows responsibility and when teaching someone. The interactions in this episode become funnier because Shigure is often the only logical person in the group.

Tense moments during the battle between the servants to show status and rivalry, making the atmosphere feel intense. Hanako may often act like a funny character, but also reveals how much she cares about protecting her own people. This scene created mixed feelings of loyalty, pride, and ambition.

This absurd comedy has a surprising moment. Money may motivate the group to keep working, but for Genzou, nothing matters than his overwhelming love for animals. This episode also gives a smooth and enjoyable flashback.

Such a hilarious anime, Genzou’s extreme feelings for animals may seem strange to everyone, but that’s exactly why the comedy is so entertaining to watch. At the same time, the story also shows relatable situations when the characters struggle with money.

This episode gets funnier with Genzou’s main goal to create a peaceful world where humans and animals can live together. What makes his character interesting is how he believes that every animal deserves care and respect. It gives a unique plot.

Genzou’s obsession with animals is honestly on a complete another level and that’s what makes the opening episode so funny. The comedy plot lands perfectly, it makes me laugh so hard.

Even though he was called a killer, Genzou’s character with others is still funny and chaotic. His passions with animals reaches an extreme level. But at the same time, there are moments he unexpectedly acts mature towards young people.

The finale is pure chaos and I’m living for it. The Genzo vs. MAO rematch was the closure we needed, even if the animation leaned a bit too hard into those slideshow stills.

Carmilla vs. Rose was high-key intense, even if Carmilla’s literal "head-empty" strategy backfired. The episode does a great job building the hype for the Genzo vs. MAO rematch

Finally, the emotional stakes we needed! Seeing the gang rally together to buy back Hiroyuki was surprisingly wholesome for a show this unhinged. Shigure continues to carry the group as the absolute MVP, and her sacrifice actually hit deep.

Genzo finally taking the "beast killer" title to a literal, hilarious extreme this week. Honestly, the Princess getting suplexed (again) is the gift that keeps on giving. It’s peak absurdity—total trashy fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.

This episode is peak chaotic energy and honestly, I’m obsessed. Watching Genzo prioritize a "cute" gryphon over literally anything else is the brand of absurdity we signed up for.

This episode is pure chaotic energy and I’m totally here for it. Introducing Celes was a stroke of genius—Genzo losing his mind over those lizard scales is peak comedy. The training montage with the rest of the gang felt a bit random

Genzo finally entering the ring as the Masked Monkey is the peak chaotic energy we’ve been waiting for. The "pro-wrestling vs. fantasy world" gimmick is in full swing here, and seeing MAO’s absolute obsession with a rematch adds that perfect layer of petty rivalry.

This episode is a certified fever dream. Seeing MAO absolutely spiraling over Genzo’s disappearance—listening to his entrance theme on loop while crying—is peak comedy.
