Anima City

Summary
Anima City is an independent city-state and home to a species of human animal hybrids called Beastman. The city is the main setting where the plot of Brand New Animal unfolds. The mayor and founder of the city is Barbara Rose. The city is contained in the Beastman Special Zone and is protected under the Beastman Territory Law. Silvasta Pharmaceuticals was heavily involved in the development of the city.

Geography
The city is an island that is separated by water, but still within a boat's ride back to the mainland of human society. The city resides in the Beastman Special Zone.

History
"'Ever since we established the Beastman Territory Law, we have managed to develop Anima City, a city where Beastmen can truly live themselves.' -Rose"Due to civil unrest between Beastmen and humans, Chairman Rose and Prime Minister Shiramizu reached an agreement to create an independent territory for Beastmen to reside in. The policy came to be known as the Beastman Territory Law which enforces the Beastman Special Zone. In order to fund the creation of Anima City, Rose partnered with Silvasta Pharmaceuticals in the Beastman Special Zone Development Project.

The city is isolated from human society and provides Beastmen a home that they can live and flourish freely without the danger and discrimination that is faced from Human society.

Society
While initial appearance to those outside of Anima City make it seem "flawless", there exists a dark hidden society that reflects that of normal human society and counteracts the tranquility and sanctuary that Anima City is perceived as to the public.
