Sheila notes that evolution has made the herbivores more image-conscious (a very odd and interesting take), but the two start to bond when commiserating over their inherent limitations when it comes to clothing (patterns and spots are as anathema as polyester and wool). I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who flinched when Sheila grabbed Peach’s arm, but the worst that happens here is the awkwardness between the two girls in their mall-hopping.
She decides to invite Peach on what turns out to be a very memorable shopping trip. Sheila puts up the appearances of unity, but despises being a symbol. This seems to have sprung up in defiance of the school’s upcoming segregationist policies, which – despite the tragedies that have occurred there – the drama club is especially opposed to. Peach is a more familiar figure, a seemingly fearless and outgoing sheep who’s currently fully engaged in the trend of herbivore-carnivore selfies posted on “Beastbook”. I don’t know that I would even have been able to tell you who Sheila (or Shiira) was by name before this week, though we’ve seen her around the drama club plenty.

On every level, this series is close to singular.
It’s groaning with big ideas, which often seem to be in conflict with each other even when you think you’ve figured them out. The narrative bobs and weaves like vintage Muhammad Ali, resulting in a lack of flow I believe is very intentional. It doesn’t fit with any template I can apply to it, which I think is the main reason I find it so hard to figure out (and occasionally to connect with). 「光を浴びたらシルエットの違いを笑おう」 ( Hikari o Abitara Shiruetto no Chigai o Waraō)īeastars is just different.
