Many residents of Anima City seem to have a varying degree of faith in the beastman deity Ginrou. Beastmen like Melissa have shrines in their homes for worshiping the Silver Wolf, and children still tell tales about the mythical beast as well. Most residents can agree that Ginrou is a symbol of hope for beastmen during times of need. However, there are people who refuse to believe in Ginrou, especially residents in the poorer areas of Anima City like in the Slums. Apart from the religious aspect, Ginrou is still strongly ingrained in beastmen society. The 10-year anniversary festival had a Ginrou float and attendees wore Ginrou-shaped masks.

Koichi Ishizaki Quotes "Since the passing of the Special Beastman Ward Autonomy Act, Anima City has been developed as a place where beastmen can live truly to themselves."[1]

"10 years have passed since the founding of Anima City, yet the rift between humans and beastmen remain as wide as ever. Even so, this city continues to be a place of respite for beastmen. For the past 10 years, and for the 10 ahead. No, for the future that lies even further ahead. Let us celebrate the anniversary for all of us!" Shirou Ogami (大神 士郎 Ōgami Shirō) is the deuteragonist of the BNA: Brand New Animal series by Studio Trigger. He is a Wolf Beastman and works as a social worker in addition of being the first and original Ginrou. He despises humans and fights for the rights of Beast men. During the course of the series, he acts as the primary caretaker for Michiru Kagemori. Appearance In his human form, he has pale skin and white hair that is slightly disheveled with bangs covering parts of his forehead. He has grey-blue eyes that are droopy and stern. He wears a light tan trench coat with the collar up, a black sweater, black cropped gloves, a pair of slim dark gray chinos, and dark brown chelsea ankle boots. Shirou wears a dark brown dog collar with a silver buckle around his neck and a matching belt around his waist. In "Anima City" he no longer wears his collar, showing the scar on his neck. During "A Beastly Feast" to "Anima City", Shirou wears a black leather jacket. In his wolf form, he has white fur accented by teal fur covering his back and the top of his head. He has gray fur on the bridge of his black nose, and a white diamond-shaped pattern on his forehead. He has a small, disheveled mane of fur around his neck that spills out all over. His eyes are still ice blue, and he still wears the same clothes.

Personality Quiet and stoic, Shirou is very proud to have been born as a beastman and passionate about his brethren; he enjoys living with them and is even moved to see them celebrating the tenth anniversary of Anima City. On the contrary, he despises humans and will go to any lengths to eliminate or disable any humans who disrupt the daily life of Anima City. According to him, any beastman who works for humans, betraying their own race, must be treated as a traitor. He demonstrated this when he breaks Yaba's rhino horn during their confrontation, taking away his beastman's pride. His perspective of humanity eventually changed to better after a fateful encounter with Michiru Kagemori, a young human girl who unexpectedly transformed into a powerful tanuki beastman, albeit from a mutual point of view of an isolated incident in Michiru's case.

After living for a thousand years helping his brethren thus sparing them from the grisly fate his fellow Nirvasyl citizens suffered in the past, Shirou proclaims himself to be the protector of the beastmen, demonstrating a strong sense of responsibility in carrying such duty. As helping beastmen in need is what truly mattered for him to the end, his selflessness saw him caring little if his altruistic deeds inspired other beastmen to worship him as their protector deity. Shirou does, however, aware with the prospect of someone exploiting the legend and belief he indirectly created for their own gain, as shown when he visibly disturbed by the appearance of Silver Wolf Order, a cult seemingly dedicated for his transcendent alter-ego and even had its guru, Nazuna Hiwatashi/Ginrou II, using her beastmen powers to impersonate him unaware that her predecessor is not only exist all along, but also alive and well. Shirou's greatest fear is being rendered helpless while watching his fellow beastment perished either at the hands of other beings or themselves via. Nirvasyl Syndrome and succumbed to the destructive malady because of it once. He eventually got over it thanks to Michiru's unexpected (or rather unintentional) help where her mutated blood revealed to provide the cure for Nirvasyl Syndrome that plagued every beastmen in millenia. Although he can be fierce and once killed his enemies with vengeance, he has since understood that vengeance only brings him emptiness and will show mercy, only killing when the situation becomes uncontrollable. Plot

The series is set in a world where humans co-exist with a branch of humanity called Beastmen, who face persecution due to their ability to turn into humanoid animals through a trait in DNA called "Beast Factor." The series centers on Michiru Kagemori, a young teenage girl who suddenly turned into a tanuki beastman after her best friend Nazuna Hiwatashi was abducted following a blood transfusion. Michiru runs away to seek refuge in Anima City, a haven made for the Beastmen, and meets the mysterious wolf beastman Shirou Ogami who works for the city's mayor Barballet Rosé. The two work to investigate the circumstances of Michiru's transformation while keeping the peace in Anima City, only to stumble into a conspiracy involving Sylvasta Pharmaceuticals-a prestige medical research center in Anima City-whose unsavory employees were responsible for accidentally providing the blood used in Michiru's transformation along with Nazuna's, who the company placed in a cult to claim herself as the Beastmens' guardian deity known as the Silver Wolf. But Michiru learns the real Silver Wolf is Shirou, who was forced to reveal his true power when dealing with the Sylvasta researcher Yata, who mutated into a crazed monster following his arrest.

Michiru learns Shirou is an immortal who gained his powers as the sole survivor of Nirvasyl, a city of Beastmen destroyed a millennia ago by humans, and has since dedicated himself to protecting his kind. Alan Sylvasta, the owner of Sylvasta Pharmaceuticals, reveals the Beastmen of Nirvasyl were actually victims of a stress-induced phenomenon called Nirvasyl Syndrome that caused them to kill each other before being finished off by the humans. Alan also explains that he is resolving the issue with Nazuna pretending to be the Silver Wolf to reduce stress while developing a drug to render Beastmen human shoulAnima City (アニマシティ Animashiti) is an independent city-state and home to a species of anthropomorphic animals called Beastman.
