Synopsis

Professional wrestler Genzou Shibata sports the body of a mountain, but beneath his hulking appearance is a man with an extreme affection for animals. Facing off his opponents in the ring as the legendary "Animal Mask," Genzou wins the hearts of crowds everywhere with his iconic tiger persona. During the bout for the title of World Champion against his greatest rival, the Macadamian Ogre, Genzou is suddenly summoned to a fantasy world by a princess. With her kingdom being threatened by a monster infestation, she pleads the wrestler for assistance—to which he answers by knocking her out with a German suplex! Escaping the castle and finding himself stranded in a mysterious land, Genzou decides to begin his career as a beast hunter to capture and befriend creatures far and wide. Joined by the wolf-girl Shigure, the dragon-girl Hanako, and the vampire Carmilla Vanstein, the professional wrestler pursues all kinds of dangerous requests for the sake of fulfilling his dream as a pet shop owner.

Quick Takes

I was really hyped up for the final match filled with tension and emotion. The rivalry between Genzou and MAO feels complex, despite competing with each other, there is still respect and friendship. Such a satisfying ending story and character growth very well.

Carmilla’s character development is surprisingly good, even though she is often reckless and completely clueless at times, her motivation for her mistress' sake deserves appreciation. This episode also balances the action with humor, especially through Hanako’s personality and unexpected wise attitude.

This episode shows wholesome moments, Maria’s attitude reflects her kindness and genuine affection. At the same time, Genzou once again shows how responsible he is. The conflict was resolved in a surprisingly heartwarming way from both sides.
