"Planet of the Beast King"

Currently Aired: 9 out of 11 episodes

Taken from http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...me.php?id=6177 :

Thor and his twin brother, Rai, are cast off to a forsaken planet by unknown masked men after witnessing the suspicious death of their parents. Given only a beam knife and a smelly satchel, they wander together in search of civilization on the primarily plant based world. They soon discover the plants have the advantage. Only the strong survive; the ones who throw away their humanity and become the beasts humans once were.

A very short series at 11 episodes only, it wastes no time in developing the characters, and their relationships. I'd recommend this show to those who like their anime action-packed, but also thought-provoking, and with a little human drama on the side.
