School of Beasts (Hepburn: Kemono no gakkou, Translation: Beast School) is a 2016 Japanese animated dark fantasy comedy horror film produced by Aniplex and released by Toho. It tells the story of a 10 year old griffon-like hybrid boy named Sosuke, who is an orphan that goes to a school filled with other hybrids. But one day, he suspects a terrifying mystery: there are beasts hidden in there. With his new friend Jay, a wolf boy, he sets out to solve the mystery before the Beast Apocalypse begins.

Plot
The movie begins with two parents (griffons), Mana and Ryuso, tucking their son Sosuke to bed. When they go out on their date night out, they wonder if their son can go to a school for animals. But something horrifying and mysteriously killed them both: dark black smoke. Sosuke is shocked to see this and is now devastated.

Ten years later, Sosuke is now attended to Kokotsuki Academy for Hybrids, where he is bullied by Tadono, a tiger hybrid. At the cafeteria, a food fight has triggered. Once Tadono finishes off with Sosuke, he is killed by an 18-year-old wolf boy named Jay. Both Sosuke and Jay are sent to detention and they become friends.

Jay then invites Sosuke to his home. He tells him about how he was part of the wolf tribe (his family) and how he gets angry and goes to Beast Mode. He cooks ham and egg ramen for him and Sosuke. Sosuke then stargazes with Jay and he listens to the story of how Jay's grandparents died in fires (both in the showcase and Kanna's house).

The next day, some of the students gossip about Sosuke and Jay's relationship. At the gym, Obiki is killed by stepping on a nail and breaking her spine.
