* The anime adaptation of ''Nightmare Campus'' is [[InNameOnly less of an adaptation]] of the manga it's based off of, and more of an adaptation of ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'', with elements of ''Manga/{{Susanoo}}'' thrown in.

* ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' can be seen as the anime equivalent to the many Creator/HannaBarbera based Creator/AdultSwim originals such as ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'' or ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'', being edgier, parodic, adult oriented reboots of 60s kids shows.

Beastars is not an adaptation of the Zootopia storyline. Although they both involve a Funny Animal city where predators and prey live together and a relationship develops between a bunny and canid (fox/wolf), they are miles apart in most everything else. Zootopia establishes that the predators and prey are able to co-exist in a city designed for that fact and allows that predators can have meat protein in the form of insects and fish. Beastars throws predators and prey together in the same city but establishes that predators are constantly having to fight their carnivorous instincts and not devour their fellow prey citizens. The predators are forced into a "eggs and milk diet" to keep the prey "safe" but there's also the "open secret" of the market where prey sell parts of themselves to hungry predators. Zootopia follows Judy in her quest to become a police officer and uses it to explore how bias permeates society. I'm still not sure what Beastars is exploring beyond the complicated social lives and relationships of Legoshi, Haru, and Louis and the crap sack city of repressed carnivore desires they live in.


* ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'' is the best Japanese anime adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' complete with the WorldOfFunnyAnimals setting and main protagonists being a cute bunny rabbit and a seemingly threatening canine just like the film. Both the manga and anime however use the same premise of that film and takes it in a DarkerAndEdgier direction.

* ''Anime/GundamBuildDiversReRise'' is, for some [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom veteran furry fans outside Japan]], the closest thing to an animated adaptation, let alone [[{{Anime}} a Japanese-made one]], from ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'' (with some elements from ''ComicBook/{{Katmandu}}'' thrown into it, culture-wise), at least in its basic premise: [[spoiler:An AI created by humans controlling a world populated with anthropomorphic animals involved in a planet-wide war. The main difference here is the fact in ''Albedo'', the whole war is much bigger, as involve many solar systems, and its respective AI, the Net, is much benevolent than the one from this show]]. This especially funny because the creator of ''Albedo'', Creator/SteveGallacci, took some inspiration from many Japanese media for the comic, ''Gundam'' included, and he also expressed his interest to adapt ''Albedo'' into animation, especially to an {{Anime}} format, rather than WesternAnimation.
