Cast of "Seton Gakuen" -- Gakuen Soukan Zoo（学園壮観Zoo）

Well, thanks to some YouTube happenstance, I was able to catch the final episode for "Murenase! Seton Gakuen"（群れなせ！シートン学園...Seton Academy: Join The Pack!）, and subtitled, too. For obvious reasons surrounding us right now, I will no longer be able to meet my anime buddy for those Sunday get-togethers for the foreseeable future, although we might be able to finagle a more virtual solution, if he's willing to accept my idea. But in any case, it was a nice heartwarming finale with the high likelihood of a second season considering what I saw at the end. Still, the ending credits scene while everyone in the Cooking Club was talking seemed a bit incomplete due to the insertion of a generic happy instrumental that I'd never heard before which made me wonder if the producing studio had been under some pressure to get something sorted out pretty quickly.

As stated in that article, my big favourite of the opening and ending themes was the latter in the form of the oh-so-adorable "Ohkami Blues"（オオカミブルース）by Hina Kino（木野日菜）. However, in recent weeks, the opening theme has started to grow on me as well, as all of the characters go gallivanting all throughout Seton Academy.

"Gakuen Soukan Zoo" (Academy Spectacle Zoo) has got a good chunk of the main cast including Kino singing a farcical circus march which sets the tone for the zaniness of each of the episodes. It not only has a didgeridoo and tribal drums at the start but everyone: Haruki Ishiya（石谷春貴）as the long-suffering Jin Kazama, Yume Miyamoto（宮本侑芽）as the other human Hitomi, Misaki Kuno（久野美咲）as the poo-loving koala Yukari, Konomi Kohara（小原好美）as the ever-dying sloth Miyubi, and Sora Tokui（徳井青空）as the cat Kurumi really got into their animal noises throughout the song.

As with "Ohkami Blues", "Gakuen Soukan Zoo" was created by Shin Furuya（古屋真）and Yosuke Yamashita（山下洋介）. It might be a little too speedy and uptempo to be the official school anthem at Seton, but heck, it makes for a good descriptor of what Season 1 has been about.
