Books, games, movies, youtube channels, podcasts, whatever you’ve got - I’d love some recommendations for anything tangentially furry-related. There’s plenty of cartoons (and I’d be happy to hear about those, too), but in particular, any more adult-focused media would be very welcomed!
I used to be a huge fan of webcomics. Still kind of am, but I stopped keeping up with a lot of comics for various reasons and the internet has changed such that I rarely come across new ones. Here’s a bunch that I still read or remember enjoying in the past:
Slightly Damned - Rhea has just died, but her karma is too low for Heaven and too high to be deserving of Hell proper. She is instead taken to the Ring of the Slightly Damned, a desolate region on the outskirts of Hell where she is placed in the care of the afterlife’s most incompetent demon. While it’s not technically a furry comic as none of the characters are based on specific animals, a large portion of them do have anthro-like forms. Rhea herself is a “jakkai”, a 3’ tall semi-bipedal furred creature that looks kind of like a Raichu with big ears and a prehensile tail.
Freefall - A sci-fi story about an anthro wolf “biological AI” starship engineer and the alien conman that stole her from cryosleep to fix his ship. Mostly comedic, but takes place in a hard-science setting and tackles complex topics like AI rights and transhumanism.
Out-of-Placers - Kassen, a human war refugee from a faraway land, is struggling to start a new life in a city inhabited by a variety of intelligent species. Among them are the yinglets, silly little ratbird creatures that are derogatorily referred to as “scavs” by the human population. A chance encounter results in Kassen being mysteriously transformed into a female yinglet, and now he must struggle with his new reality while powerful figures move to take advantage of his unique situation.
Housepets! - Imagine a world where all the animals are anthros but dogs and cats are still kept as pets and treated kind of like small furry children. Starts out as a silly slice-of-life comic but eventually tackles some of the problematic aspects of that premise as a much bigger story begins to take shape.
Twokinds - I’m not sure there’s a furry on the internet who hasn’t heard of this one. A fantasy story about an amnesiac human who falls in love with a tiger girl.
Ozy and Millie (Completed) - It’s basically a furry Calvin & Hobbes. The tomboyish red fox Millicent drags her best friend, an introverted zen-practicing arctic fox named Ozymandias, into all sorts of crazy trouble.
Mynarski Forest (Discontinued) - A very old comic about the animals of a Canadian forest, focusing on a troublemaking vixen and the rabbit she adopted for being too pathetic to eat. This was one of the first webcomics I ever read and it holds a special place in my heart. Sadly it went on permanent hiatus many years ago with the final strip being something of a cliffhanger, but I remember having some good laughs along the way.
Ooh, this is great! I’ve read Housepets and Twokinds (as you note, I doubt there’s anyone who hasn’t heard of Twokinds), but I was not familiar with the rest - though I recognize some of the characters from (what I assume to be) fan art. I’ll give these a read - thanks for the recommendations!
Any of the Flashgitz furry videos, but my absolute favorite is First Contact. I just love the crusaders monologue.
These are great - thanks for the recommendation!
ODDTAXI is an underappreciated furry anime mystery, highly recommend watching
I found ODDTAXI’s art style a little offputting at first glance but I’m really glad I stuck with it. What a wild ride that show was.
This looks fun - thanks for the recommendation! I’m not usually too fond of anime, but I’ll almost always make exceptions for furry anime. :)
Angels with Scaly Wings is a visual novel with a surprisingly good story that really punches you in the feels.
It also has a Patreon supported free prequel comic WiP Angels with Broken Hearts as well as a sequel that has been announced.
I’ve played this one! Enjoyed it quite a bit… did not know there was a sequel coming, though - that’s rad!
RenkuMoo is making cute pirate-themed animations “Pirate Tails”. There’s not much yet (3 shorts) but I hope there will be more up ahead. I really recommend it:
These are very cute! Thanks for the links!
I must boost the book I wrote last year: Dragons Deep.
It’s a gay romance with furry elements and has been described as “If Douglas Adams had written a gay romance…”
I enjoyed writing it.
That’s rad - it’s even on Kindle Unlimited! I’ll check it out!
Yup, yup. I hope you enjoy it.
I love queer furry visual novels; I started with Adastra and went from there ^^ I also enjoy novels/media relating to sports/queerness (such as Kyell Gold’s Out of Position series). (After so many years of denial, I can’t get enough furry queer media, apparently ^^)
I also enjoy queer furry visual novels, so… I’ll give these a look! :)
My favorites of the ones I’ve played are Tennis Ace and Glory Hounds…the former is about the titular character trying to get out of the terrible rut his life is in…and discovering something
gayunexpected about himself along the way. The latter is just plain fun and hilarious ^^
@KoboldCoterie You might like this cute little visual novel https://rekiron.itch.io/lucent-depths and these two games might count as well:
- https://ertal-games.itch.io/a-cat-caf-story
- https://alliemackie.itch.io/hauntsfieldAs for books, I have an entire list on my website at https://nosycat.neocities.org/writing/fave-books.html – hope this helps!
These are great suggestions, thanks! These are the sort of things I’d never have found organically - I appreciate the recos!
I’d suggest Lives of the Monster Dogs by Kirsten Bakis. It’s a sci-fi/horror novel. I read it years and years ago, but I guess there was a reissue printed recently! This article covers it nicely: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/05/when-talking-canines-took-over-new-york/525837/
Ooh, this looks great - I love darker novels, and from the description, this sounds like it fits the bill!
