BlazBlue[edit]
BlazBlue is a fighting and visual novel game series developed and published in Japan by Arc System Works since 2008.[1] It has received both manga and anime adaptations. It has sold at least 1.7 million copies worldwide since August 2012[2] There are several playable and non-playable anthropomorphic characters, or as they are referred to in the series; "beastkin"(獣人)/(じゅうじん).[citation needed] As such, parts of the series may be attributed to the Kemono genre. Several subcategories exist under the beastkin umbrella term including demi-humans, Kaka, half-beastkin, and lycanthrope, with distinct cultural and biological traits.[3], They also possess varying levels of proficiency in the diverse array of esoteric magical power systems in the series. Topics such as racial discrimination directed towards beastkin and racial, gender and class intersectionality are discussed within the story.
