Beast Tamer is an isekai anime that premiered as part of the Fall 2022 season. It is considered a harem anime as Rein, the male lead, will be working with, or rather taming, girls from different races as a part of his journey. But how is Beast Tamer different from other harem anime?

Also known as The Beast Tamer Who Was Exiled from His Party Meets a Cat Girl From the Strongest Race, Beast Tamer is originally a light novel series that was published online through Shosetsuka ni Naro in 2018.

Kodansha acquired the light novel and released eight volumes in 2019. It was later adapted into a manga before it was made into an anime by EMT Squared.

How Is Beast Tamer Different From Other Harem Anime?

While the title can intrigue people as cat girls are well-loved among anime fans, there seems to be nothing new about Beast Tamer. In fact, fans immediately noticed its similarity to The Rising of the Shield Hero.

The two male protagonists from the two anime were removed from their respective parties because of their lacking abilities. This urged them to go on a journey on their own, where they eventually met powerful girls.

Rein, from Beast Tamer, and Naofumi, from The Rising of the Shield Hero, even have the same concerns regarding their abilities.

Most harem isekai anime also feature powerful, amazing girls that will push the male lead to be stronger as time passes by, which is to be expected from Beast Tamer as well.

There are also fans who believe that Beast Tamer is a combination of Banished from the Hero’s Party and Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World.

This might be quite disappointing for those who wish to see something special about the series, but those who enjoy this kind of plot will still find Beast Tamer entertaining.

Each viewer has their own preferences. As mentioned, those who love this kind of plot will find Beast Tamer worth watching. For one, the female characters of Beast Tamer are adorable, which can be a good reason to watch the show.

The character designs are also great, as well as the animation and soundtracks.

However, those who wish to see something new might find that the series is not for them. Some might even say that Beast Tamer's plot is too common, and a lot of other series have already done the same concept.
