Kemono no Souja Erin follows Erin, who is still a young girl at the start of the series. Like her mother, she wants to become a beast tamer and take good care of the various animals in this world. However, in most cases, the animals are trained as war beasts, as the kingdom where Erin lives is once again on the brink of war.
And the leading politicians with their intrigues, prevalent racism, and many moral dilemmas in dealing with humans and animals make Erin’s life difficult – so she must find her own place in an extremely complex world.
Erin is one of those animes where you see the cover art and think that you can comfortably skip the series. But once you’ve watched two or three episodes, you get sucked into a complex world with interesting characters, various intrigues, and plenty of tension that tells a story over several years and doesn’t let go until the last episode is finished.
A small tip: Don’t look at the titles of the individual episodes, as they often spoil significant events in advance.
