Beastars Final Season

The anthropomorphic animal society stands at a precipice. Following the unmasking of the carnivorous murderer at Cherryton Academy, the school introduces a new segregation policy to protect herbivores, further fueling public disdain for carnivores. Meanwhile, the black market for meat thrives like never before, and the Shishi-gumi, a powerful gang of lions, faces upheaval after losing their leader. A shadowy, violent figure emerges, intending to seize control of the Shishi-gumi with the introduction of an appetizing energy drink for carnivores.

Having left school, Legoshi, a gentle gray wolf at odds with his predatory instincts, attempts to lead an unassuming life; he only uses his innate strength to protect the weak. However, his involvement with the academy's murder investigation draws the attention of the current Beastar—society's leading authority. For the sake of his controversial relationship with white dwarf rabbit Haru, Legoshi clings to his sense of justice, even when he sinks into the chaos caused by rising tensions between carnivores and herbivores.

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.

Mixed Feelings

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.

Preliminary (12/12 eps)

It's only PART ONE of the final season, it ends on a total cliffhanger with no release date for part two! DO NOT GO INTO THIS THINKING YOU'RE GETTING THE FINALE!

Every episode starts with "BEASTARS: FINAL SEASON", nowhere does it say "Part one" so I'm expecting storylines to wrap up by the end of the final episode 12, and NOTHING is resolved! Completely destroyed all expectations in the worst possible way, absolutely ruining what was otherwise an ok season.

It's more like S2 than S1, so if you thought the quality dropped with S2, or if you hate false advertising and cliffhangers, stay ... away!
