Surprising, weird, and philosophical

Warning: Spoilers
I just watched the first two seasons and so far I'm blown away by the story and characters. The main characters are a male wolf and a female rabbit.

Two types of loners in a weird world of animals. I admit the one thing that threw me off was seeing the rabbit being sexually promiscuous. When I kept watching, I understand her better but it's like the writers wanted the audience mostly to jerk off with her especially selling off on the sexy bunny fetish. If you're into the bunny fetish thing, I'm not judging but just watch this show not just for that reason. Weird part is this show got me thinking what makes the girl bunny being wanted by these guys. Then I just figured it out, have you ever pet a rabbit? It's so soft and smooth. Then I'm thinking 'dude you're thinking of how a rabbit is popular sexually.' I laughed after thinking that. On point the wolf and bunny love story surprised me especially when they first met with one of them attempting to kill the other. On point with the story, I love how the theme in this show is about searching for an identity, knowing your true self and making sense of the reality they live while trying to do what's right to them. I love the first two episodes with how they met and how a first encounter can be an unexpected love at first sight. Yeah I know it's cheesy but I love how honest it makes the characters and how even though they're animals they are human too with flaws and all. Now on the animation it is just amazing to see the details like the animals or how the food looks. Hell I looked at a roll and thought that looks good. I also have to comment on the music bc it makes me want to some of those songs over and over. I'm still surprised on the stop motion intro and I just love it; It's funny and very entertaining. It's like watching Fantastic Mr. Fox in a course of two minutes. I admit one thing I was looking forward to and as strange as it sounds, for the wolf and the rabbit to make love. It got me thinking of an episode of Yu Yu Hakusho where the title character's demon dad fell in love with a human girl and how awkward it was for them making love. But hey on the series itself, I always love an unexpected love story between two completely different people or species and this series made it honest, awkward, and surprisingly addictive. I give this 4 stars and if there's third season on the way im looking forward to it.
