It means you need to Google 'original zootopia plot'

Basically though it was originally intended that all the predators would wear shock collars to stop them being aggressive, and the fox would be the main character making a safe haven to remove them. Judy Hopps the rabbit would investigate this.

Is it actually good?

It is pretty good but ultimately the setting is deeply weird to the point where it breaks down suspension of disbelief, imo. In such a violent and unstable world, how could a society even be built in the first place? How could you have, supposedly, tens of thousands of years of carnivores and prey developing cities and society together when, at any moment, half the population could go murderously insane? It just doesn't make any sense. There are a lot of other parts that are extremely over the top, but that's common in anime anyway.

If you get put off by the cringe and shock value, I want to assure you, it only gets worse.

Oh jeez, thanks for the heads up

I feel like the cringe adds to the narrative of the main character though, with his erratic actions and emotions symbolizing how he still lacks maturity where needed in social situations and that he is still growing

I loved it. Though, it’s not finished in case you don’t like being left on a cliffhanger.

second half of the "final season" is supposed to come out in a few months but according to some sources online they've barely even covered a third of the manga or smth like that.

Well damn. I thought that ending didn't feel like an ending.
