Disappointing Expectations

2 stars

When my entire feed and social circles were abuzz about this series (who could blame them; I'm very active in the furry community), I knew I had to give it a try.

This might have been tainted by the fandom's portrayal of the characters and story but... the series is very... heterosexual.

I did enjoy the world's logistics and form of discrimination towards prey species, while also creating sympathetic predator species characters, however I found the main plot following Legoshi dull.

TL,DR: Needs more queer furries.
