Kemono Michi: Rise Up, the 12-episode comedy series from Studio ENGI, is now streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The series follows Genzou Shibata, a pro wrestler known as 'Animal Mask,' who is summoned to a fantasy world by a princess. His true passion, however, isn't fighting monsters, but rather his overwhelming love for animals and desire to open a pet shop.
Adapted from the manga of the same name, the show leans heavily into its absurd premise, blending isekai tropes with wrestling and creature-taming humor. Genzou's attempts to live a quiet life surrounded by anthropomorphic animals and fantastical beasts often clash with the expectations of his new world, leading to comedic scenarios.
Studio ENGI, known for their work on Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! and Goblin Slayer II, handles the animation. The series offers a complete, bingeable experience for fans of quirky fantasy comedies.
