Beastars Final Season

Shingeki no Beastars (lol), the name of the season is ridiculous, it reminds me a lot of Shingeki no Kyojin with its 84 "final seasons". Anyway, the season itself is very good, Beastars in general is a very cool work to follow because for me it is a work that makes me have many reflections about the society in which we live, many aspects of the world of Beastars can be incorporated into our world and this is much more visible in this season than in the others in my opinion. This season rekindled my desire to watch anime so I really liked it, intelligent plot, reflections of society, ideological wars, prejudice and many more themes are addressed in this work. Spectacular season, I recommend everyone to give the work a chance, despite having some moments that are really embarrassing, this work manages to be wonderful in what it proposes, long live the anime of furrys lol. =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== Shingeki no Beastars (kkk), o nome da temporada é ridículo, lembra muito Shingeki no Kyojin com suas 84 "final season". Enfim, a temporada em si é muito boa, Beastars no geral é uma obra muito daora de se acompanhar pois pra mim é uma obra que me faz ter muitas reflexões sobre a sociedade em que vivemos, muitos pontos do mundo de Beastars podemos incorporar no nosso mundo e isso é muito mais visível nessa temporada do que nas outras ao meu ver. Essa temporada reacendeu minha vontade de ver anime então eu gostei muito dela, trama inteligente, reflexões da sociedade, guerras ideologias, preconceito e muito mais temas são abordados nessa obra. Temporada espetacular, recomendo a todos que deem uma chance a obra, apesar de ter uns momentos que são sim muito vergonha alheia, essa obra consegue ser maravilhosa naquilo que se propõe, viva o anime dos furrys kkk.

The first season of Beastars was an intensely dramatic romance between Legoshi and Haru - the forbidden love affair between a wolf and a rabbit, whose natures are supposed to drive them towards an existential predator vs prey dynamic. It was fascinating, navigating this conflict with the characters together and wondering whether they would be able to work this conflict out, in the end. Now, two seasons later, the original hook - the romance - feels like it has been completely forgotten by the writers. Haru is barely even in the show anymore. She shows up for one episode and then disappears again except for brief cameos here and there. Much of the runtime is spent with the lion mafia, whose presence seems insignificant at best and like filler content at worst. And while the season's new villain would be fascinating and enjoyable in any other show, I must admit I cannot bring myself to care about him or his conflict with Legoshi while he takes away attention from what I feel like used to be the main focus of the show. I don't want to be one who dislikes the show based on what I wanted it to be, rather than what the author was trying to say with the content. However, I don't think I'm being unreasonable for pointing out that the priorities and the character dynamics have shifted since the first season in a way that interests me less. If you were hooked on the political intrigue of the Beastars world from the second season, this season will continue to please. But if you were looking forward to seeing Legoshi and Haru's relationship develop further, episode 7 is the only one that's going to fill that desire. Also, as many have pointed out, this is only Part 1 of the 2 Part Season Finale. I don't understand why they didn't just call this season 3 and then call Part 2 the "finale." Nothing is wrapped up at the end, it ends with a literal cliffhanger, and I was almost ready to quit Beastars forever.

Beastars Final Season Part 1 Review After years of anticipation, Netflix has finally dropped the new season of Beastars, and fans who were eager to find out what happened after that intense showdown—and Legoshi’s surprising decision to drop out of school at the end of Season 2—can now finally dive back into the story. Right from the start, this season makes it clear that Legoshi’s world has expanded. The narrative moves beyond the familiar school setting of the first two seasons, shifting into the complexities of adulthood and society at large. New characters and fresh environments are introduced, establishing that Legoshi’s challenges are no longer just personal or academic—they now resonate on a societal level. His past struggles have shaped him into a more mature, stronger, and kinder individual, something that’s made clear as early as Episode 2. His growth feels natural and satisfying, making him even more likable and relatable as a protagonist. What stands out in this season is how the stakes have shifted. The conflicts are no longer limited to schoolyard rivalries; they now delve into the deeper, more serious issues of interspecies relations, societal expectations, and personal identity. Legoshi is faced with enemies and allies from all walks of life, and each new character feels purposeful. Many of them bring backstories that are not just filler but deeply connected to the current events, adding emotional depth and giving more weight to the narrative. The way these stories are woven into the main plot feels seamless and deliberate. On the technical side, Studio Orange deserves praise for their work on the animation. The quality has noticeably improved, with smoother action sequences, more expressive character animations, and an overall polished aesthetic. It’s clear they took their time, and the result is worth the wait. For those invested in Legoshi and Haru’s relationship, this season offers moments of quiet progression. While their relationship isn’t the central focus, it’s treated with care. You can see their bond evolving as they attempt to overcome the very real challenges of being an interspecies couple. Their moments together, though not abundant, are heartwarming and meaningful—especially for viewers like me who appreciate their wholesome connection. Even when not at the forefront, their relationship complements the main themes beautifully. What really elevates this season, though, is its shift in narrative focus. It’s no longer just a coming-of-age story; it’s now a broader commentary on societal structures, interspecies coexistence, prejudice, discrimination, public perception, and the struggle to break free from imposed limitations. Despite being set in a fictional animal society, the issues addressed feel grounded in reality, making the story resonate on a much deeper level. The writing is sharp and thoughtful, turning what could have been a simple story into something genuinely meaningful. Overall, Beastars Final Season Part 1 feels like the start of something much bigger. It’s a natural yet bold evolution of the story, and it handles its themes with maturity and nuance. While it’s still underrated in many circles, I personally consider this anime a modern masterpiece. Rating: 9/10 – A brilliant continuation that not enough people are watching.

Beastars, since the first season, evoked a very weird feeling of wanting to explore more and running away from such an abomination. At the same time, it kept implying several sensitive yet harsh realities, be it the symbolic implication of human trafficking, forbidden love, exploration of lust and desires by adolescents, underground world somewhere down there being mangled with the bureaucrats who are supposed to be fighting against them, rehab of SUD (here, meat use disorder, lol) suffering people or the underlying discrimination and prejudice against a certain community of people (there's a lot more, different perspectives would be able to figure that out too). I would really like to appreciate the mangaka for being bold about the writing and exploring topics that can give the icks to some people. But this season's vagueness with the title "Final season" was disappointing. It was expected to finish at episode 12, but it ended with an even more dangerous cliffhanger. Don't know what they intended to accomplish, but the maker's should have mentioned that it is NOT THE FINAL SEASON. Overall, if you are daring and inquisitive enough, you might try watching Beastars, start to end. But be warned beforehand that it might make you feel "disgusted" many a times. But the writing isn't lacklustre at all, it is highly admirable in fact. P.S.: THIS IS NOT THE FINAL SEASON. THIS ENDS IN A CLIFFHANGER.

Overview 👁️‍🗨️ Following the brutal events involving Riz, Legoshi drops out of Cherryton Academy where he now lives in his own working a job as an udon delivery boy. Many other lives have changed, Louis must now accept the role as the head of the Horns Conglomerate, previously belonging to his father. Haru is now traversing through her new university life as well. However, outside the school walls, a sadistic maniac called Melon wreaks havoc on the city using the drink Kines. We follow the journey of Legoshi joining arms with the present Beastar Yahya to reveal and capture him. Story/Plot ⏳ A pro I have with this season is the world feeling bigger than ever. While this does tie into a complaint I have later, the world feels more alive in this season, seeing different parts of the city, deeper looks into the shadier parts were done very well. We get to see way more animal species than the usual ones we would see in Cherryton Academy or from Season Two. I also think Melons presence was very enjoyable throughout this season. His sadistic personality mixed with his charisma made him very entertaining, made even better with his random mood swings. Kines was a great plot device, putting a really good twist on the shift and split revolving the carnivores and herbivores, and the way it really works and affects the carnivores was very interesting. The way Cherryton was changing rapidly was also interesting to see, the way all classes and clubs are being split in two made for some decent dramatic work. With that being said, I did have cons with the story aspects of this season, one being to how much is different compared to the first season, and while watching this season, it made me miss the simplicity of season one in a way. If you preferred the simple plot revolving the relationship with Haru and Legoshi, you don’t get much of it here, if you liked the high, tense drama feel of season two, you may like this season more than you would otherwise. Another major problem I had with this season is how bloated it all feels, there are a lot of things happening in this season, and I believe not everything is given the time to really be fleshed out. To give an idea, mafia politics, drug pollution, family lore, and romantic relationships are all being delved into, but with only 12 episodes to work with, many of these topics can be shortsighted. The pacing was also off, there were some storylines that don’t feel concluded and it’ll jump to the next plot point without the last one finishing in a satisfying way. To give an example, we get to see a look at Legoshi’s apartment life and how he’s been living with his meat withdrawals, but then his major withdrawal wouldn’t come up again and we jump to Yahyas deep investigations or Harus campus life. To give another quick example, there is a certain flashback that feels completely rushed and leaves no room for emotional impact as it wasn’t even really built up on that well. Characters 🎭 As for the character work this season, it isn’t too good of an outlook for it, I was pretty disappointed, and once again, I must say, it really paints season one in a slightly better light than I previously thought, because the character work there felt more intentional. Interestingly enough, I was more intrigued by what was happening with Bill, Els, and the rest of the drama club being split up. I thought how it was sweet when they all came to the collective agreement that they should still be able to do the play together, it was nice, but this was the B plot. So what of the main characters? Ehh. Legoshi and Harus relationship feels so stagnant and feels like they are constantly asking the same questions that was being presented like two seasons ago where they always ask something along the lines of “can a wolf and rabbit truly be together?” I don’t hate this question but it feels like this always goes nowhere and it always ends the same way. This also leads time to my next point, Haru doesn’t have much a character here, unless she is being there as a motivation for Legoshi, her character can be pretty uninteresting. Yahya is another character I was confused about because on one hand he is pretty interesting, especially the parts where we see the more mysterious side of him and we question if he is entirely “the good guy” and I like those moments. However, there are things I believe could have been improved, Yahya has such a distain for carnivores, but ends up trusting Legoshi so quickly, I know this is in part to Legoshi being the grandson of Gosha, but it still felt rushed, and their dynamic had some room for improvement. Louis is a character I really like in Beastars, and I like his storyline in this season but it is also heavily underdeveloped. We see Louis in a theoretical cage and is forced to make many decisions that he does not want to do, a main point is his arranged marriage and his true attraction to Juno. These are points that can work very well, but they aren’t even fleshed out well, in part to how isolated Louis is here, he doesn’t interact with anyone from the old cast. It is also in part because of Louis also going on a whole detective mission to discover the truth of Kines. Lastly, there are some characters that are introduced but feel so bland or severely underused, for example, Legoshi’s neighbor Seven appears like twice. Sagwan was introduced as well, but I didn’t feel much interest in him. To end on a slightly positive note, Legoshi’s grandad opens a very interesting door to Legoshi’s character and how it can build to a very interesting relationship between him and Melon, the question is will it be executed well, I hope it is. Art 🎨 The art for this season is still great, Studio Orange has gotten better with their animal animation, a lot of scenes just look so dynamic. The transitions between bright to moody noir environments was also good and I liked it a lot, they knew how to establish a tone of a scene. The few action moments of this season was also fun and looks like they kept up from Season Two. Music/Sound 🎵 The music was also great in this season. I loved the opening “Into The World”, it was very catchy and the visuals were also very creative and kept me never skipping the opening. The closing song was also good and a non skip for me. The sound design was also good, the voice acting was good, the tracks for characters fit their vibe pretty well, like Goshas rock and roll theme. Verdict 🏁 All in all, this season really didn’t land for me. It had some good ideas and it had some things I liked but it was heavily outweighed by the terrible pacing, weak character work as well as the character dynamics. Writing wise, everything just felt at its weakest here. I would say this season was just ok, and I hope there are improvements for the next and final part. Overall Score: 60% on the moist meter 🐺🦌

Tw// Spoilers LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS OPENING! Out of all the Beastars openings, this is my absolute favorite! The jazz music gave me 70's blaxploitation movie vibes. It's also cute how they used paper this time and I love how in that one scene, they gradually reveal the characters Legoshi meets after each episode. It shows not only his new allies along the way but how they contribute to his growth as a character. As for the story, things start to get very, very real and dark. After Legoshi drops out of school and gets his own apartment, he soon gets out into the real world and the audience encounters more prejudices between carnivores and herbivores, more specifically, mixed-raced relations. We also get introduced hybrid characters, another interesting twist to the story such as Legoshi's mixed raced background. As the story progresses we get to know the racism that mixed-raced characters face such as Legoshi's mother, her story made her cry so hard when she was with Legoshi, and I even sobbed some more when Legoshi for the first time in the series was howling. Gosha, Legoshi's grandpa was so badass and chill. Another personal favorite character is one of Legoshi's neighbors Sagwan, the seal. Sagwan is so calm and wise beyond his years, I loved hearing about the ocean and the sea creatures that live below. To me, the ocean symbolizes accepting natural selection among both herbivore and carnivore sea creatures living in their true unapologetic nature, it's all about survival of the fittest. There's no strict laws or segregation, everyone is themselves and unrestraint. I wish we learned more about the ocean personally. For the other characters Yahya was also interesting to watch, as unlikable his attitude was towards Legoshi, it was nice to see his persistence towards making a "perfect society" and crime fighting. It's nice to see a herbivore like him who's powerful and not afraid of vicious carnivores. To me, Yahya was like a Batman 2.0. Last but not least, Melon the main villain, was someone I was hoping to learn more about. His presence was so terrifying and cunning as a character. Melon, to me is a prime example of what happens if people continue to showcase their racism towards mixed-raced characters because he was mistreated by both sides, Melon has no sense of morality and loyalty towards any side. You can feel his resentment, which is why his main goal is to create more division and chaos. Overall, the season was amazing! Still can't get over the opening teehee!

Beastars Final Season part 1 has starkly laid out many of my conflicting feelings about this series on the whole. Much like Itagaki’s other work, Sanda, it is a series with endlessly fascinating worldbuilding that lends itself to a thousand different “hey what if this” scenarios with massive philosophical ramifications behind them regarding how we interact with others and “the other” in society at large. It’s also just an incredibly cool world to unpack on its own, from the differences between land- and sea-dwelling creatures to the intricate details of food, infrastructure, and breeding, with the concept of “mixes” in particular being exceptionally fun to run through the implications of. On the other hand, many aspects of the actual plot itself and how certain plot elements are built-up or revealed tend to lack weight compared to when the story was much simpler in its initial season. Many of the “big twists” were barely twists at all despite being presented as such, often to such a degree that I don’t know how the characters in the show couldn’t see the very obvious clues right in front of their faces, and occasionally the narrative presentation comes off as shockingly immature and lacking in rhetorical grace and smoothness, sputtering out necessary back story with as much poise as a decapitated elephant. The longer this series goes on, the more I feel disconnected from many of the central characters. On paper, I understand Legoshi’s struggles during this season, and I do like how his own immaturity and lack of street smarts causes him so much grief, yet I don’t feel nearly as attached to him as I did back in season 1, perhaps due in part to the notable sidelining of Haru in terms of the story’s main focus. At the very least I can say that the visual presentation is just as strong as ever, be it the intense attention to detail in how each anthropomorphic design is constructed or the individual mannerisms found in each character’s movements. I’m still a bit torn on the frequent use of split-screening though, as many times it comes off less as a cinematically meaningful tool and more as a mandatory way to induce variety into how the shots look. At the end of the day, I will say that it’s still an immensely bingeable show, and I am curious as to how this all wraps up, so I’ll still be tuning in to the actual final season to see what becomes of this zoological quagmire.

It's a romance. Where as season 1 felt more like a detective series, and 2 felt more action packed, this one feels like a romance. Forbidden love, friendship, bonds in general. And it's really touching to see the characters interact, how they describe their feelings, their thoughts. It feels very poetic in a way. However if you were invested and liked the previous seasons, you will like this one as well. It's cool to see the characters back from the new seasons and the new characters are pretty interesting as well. You will feel for the characters you know and love once more, and you'll be curious about the new ones and feel for them as well. As for the ending...is this the end? It does say FINAL SEASON. But do not let that title fool you. The story's not yet finished, and I'll be excited for when it arrives. I'll give it an 8 and once BEASTARS Does officially ends, I will probably rewatch it all. Very likeable characters, no matter the season.

A masterclass in turning a churned-out deadlined manga adaptation filled with inconsistencies and ass-pulls into a coherent, actually engaging storyline. Opening rivals that of season one and plotline in general surpasses the first two seasons. From a finally consistent tonal shift to gripping decisions that make a mountain out of the mangaka's molehill, Beastars's Final Season (Part One) excites me in ways few other animes have recently. It fixes errors while keeping its foundationally revolutionary message at heart. I adore the choices made and appreciate the additions to increase clarity (Kyuu the boxer; Yahya now being front and center; completely revamping Melon's introduction, etc...) A few moments I hope they include in the finale: the 701 boys going to B-Strike; Gosha's venom drip through multiple restaurant layers; and ANY scene with Pina please!!! That's all for now darlings, I'll incorporate other snippets I enjoyed as they come.
