The anime has been on my radar since it was first announced, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. The latest PV and visual give me a glimpse into the final story arc, and I'm excited to see how Pig and Jess's relationship develops. I'm also looking forward to hearing the new ending theme song, Hitori Janai Yo, by Myuk.

I think the concept of Butareba is really unique and interesting. I've never seen an anime about a man who turns into a pig before, and I'm curious to see how the story will play out. I'm also a big fan of the character designs and the animation style. The characters look really expressive, and the animation is fluid and well-done. Overall, I'm really excited about Butareba and I can't wait to see more of it.
