review

"3 Seconds Later, Beast: The Man in the Corner at the Mixer was a Lewd Carnivore" is a short work, but it is packed with a dense story and charming characters. In particular, the relationship between the protagonists Kaname and Tsumugi is beautifully portrayed, and has the power to draw the viewer in. The contrast between Kaname's cool appearance and his inner self, and Tsumugi's purity and growth add excitement to the story. Additionally, the presence of a herbivorous man named Yuto adds depth to the story in contrast to Kaname.

The animation quality is high, and the character and color designs are beautiful, making it a visual treat. Kaname's dance scene and Tsumugi's facial expressions are particularly impressive. In terms of sound, Hiroki Nishiyama's skill as sound director shines through, with the background music and sound effects adding excitement to the story.

The story unfolds quickly, with new developments in each episode. Episodes #5 "I'll Evaluate the Bad Guy" and #8 "I Want to Hug and Kiss You..." are particularly not to be missed as they are the climaxes of the story.
