bagi drinking from a pond

This movie kinda stuck with me regarding about the ethics of Animal testing and such. ( For context i watched this movie on YouTube back when I was like 11 or something)

it’s a bit of a complicated subject and I won’t get into it too much because I know it’s upsetting for a few people including myself but yeah. All I gotta say here is that this movie has an environmental message

bagi the monster of might nature self insert sona i made in 2021 🐶 she is bagis wife

New post, bagi fanart, from the looks of it, I don’t wanna mess with her. Might rip me apart!

Okay, I did it and is it 1:20 now? Lmao I made fanarts based on fanfictions and .. one cartoon is called "Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature". But about fanfiction, I'm too lazy to indicate the work because I want to sleep, I'll do it tomorrow, ok?

Feel free to dismiss this but youve mentioned wanting to talk about your ocs and i was wondering who bagi is? I couldnt find anything on the tag other than recent posts and im curious as to what their deal is. You're so creative with your character designs that i cannot possibly guess what they might look like, and if youre willing to share any info i am dying to know (no pressure though if you dont wish to respond!)

OH ERM. bagi isnt my oc but kinda is in my story <3 thank you for the ask tho, more reason to infodump!!! more under the cut, a lotta text

bagi is the main character of the obscure movie bagi the monster of mighty nature. she is a lab made human animal hybrid. all the animals escaped the lab including her mountain lion mother and they all get killed except her. she is taken in by a human family thinking she was a normal kitten but soon they learn she is unusual as she stands up on her hind legs and mimicks human behavior... years later the main boy character and her meet again and shenanigans happen, i wont spoil it for you, but be warned its weird (i really mostly like it for her <3 otherwise its a bit shit) its osamu tezukas work and is a commentary on how animal testing is against nature and bad (the message kinda falls flat though lol). for me i adore the movie but sort of within my own interpretation of it.. cuz again its not the best piece of media lol i view the main guy character as insufferable (should die tbh) and their relationship as sibling like (since his parents did take her in) and my story starts after the events of the movie! without spoilers, years later bagis mountain lion dna was overtaking her making her act feral/losing her human sanity. and everything i wrote in the infodump happens! BUT i do have my own design for her ive yet to draw for my story. for now have screenshots

I hope I have energy when I get home. I wanna draw some more lol

The Story

The story is about a young bike gangster who discovers that the little at he had lost many years prior has now become an anthropomorphic cat-human hybrid.

With that description, you would most likely think this is just a furry-themed Hentai. While it does have a little bit of fanservice, it is overall very tame and it isn't distracting (unless you are deliberately looking for it).

The story is about genetic experimentation, and the film goes to great lengths to explain how it all works. The only problem I have with this is that we only see one side of the argument. All we hear mostly is 'Playing God is bad', but we don't see anyone who has been saved by these experiments and the film goes so far to say that it is only used by corrupt governments who use it to kill off the other parties.

The story is also quite emotional, with a satisfying ending which won't annoy you in any way. But the time skips back and forth throughout the film's three main timelines may confuse some audiences.

Overall, the story is well told, but the message it tells us is really flawed.

The Characters

The two main characters in this film get a decent amount of character development, the mother seems pretty much Bi-Polar between each scene we see her, and the side characters are pretty much forgettable propaganda in which the other side of the argument doesn't care about anything except money.

The Animation/Special Effects

The animation is actually quite well done. It has Tezuka's classic style that does shine through the animation, but the animation is also recycled in most of the bike scenes and the 'evil' side characters look like fat pigs that just annoyingly screams "EVIL!!!"

Final Thoughts

Overall... I'm kinda on the fence with this film. The story with the two main leads and the character development they go through really shine, but the one-sided argument ruins this film.

Before you ask, yes, I do know that Tezuka made this film in retaliation to the Japanese government approving Genetic experimentation. But you have to show BOTH sides of the argument equally so that the audience can make there own decisions about the subject.

But this film made Tezuka sound like a whinny little kid who didn't get his candy today.

Even though it has a lot of flaws, I still recommend you check this film out. It definitely isn't an underrated masterpiece, but it is still underrated nonetheless.
