Will there be a 3rd season?

Not gonna lie, i think ending at season 2 might be for the best. As much as id like a season 3 because my favorite character has most of his story beats there, the final arc is sorta a mess. There are a couple of chapters that are excellent, but storywise, it just kinda goes all over the place. If they do make a season 3, there would be a lot of stuff to fix. Unless they go anime original.

What id like to see tho is an OVA for the world building stuff theyre skipping this season. Probably skipping cuz they havent been shown in the anime yet but the anime is still airing so there is still a chance theyd include them, but if not, an OVA for those would be nice.

Yeah not finishing the story because you don't like some chapters, makes sense lmao

Im sure youd understand where i came from if ye finished the manga too. There were a lot of great moments in that arc, but overall, it just gets into too much wtfery. If they do make it tho, i really hope they fix a lot of the issues it has. Because it could be amazing. Especially with my fave character! Id be down for a season 3, but i wont be surprised if there wasnt any.

Also, season 2 ending would be a complete story in and of itself. It would pretty much resolve season 1.

I'd say it depends on the success of season 2. Beastars season 1 was a pretty big success and one year later studio Orange made a second season of Beastars.

If s2 is successful, then there's no reason not to. However, the competition this season is at its peak: Attack on Titan s4, Promised Neverland s2, Doctor Stone s2, ReZero s2 of s2 (lol), so chances of underperforming or even average viewership are likely.

Even if we got confirmation for season 3, it would take a while for the last two arcs to be adapted totalling almost 100 chapters combined compared to the 49 chapters adapted in s1.

I hope so. Alongside Attack on Titan, it's been my favourite anime to watch this season. Doesn't get the praise it deserves really.

If you look at Beastars S2's numbers, its being one of the most successful animes right now.
It has entered the top 10 of Netflix Japan these last 3 weeks: https://twitter.com/cg_orange_inc/status/1360465321878904834
S2 trailer got 3+ million views in just a couple of months, most animes barely gets 1 million in some months or a whole year.
The full version of the opening already got 20+ million views and it has entered the top 5 of most Japanese music charts.

Honestly, the people who thinks that Beastars is "underrated" are only taking into account the anime community's reception. This is one of the few animes of recent years which has managed to be enjoyed even by non-anime watchers, mostly thanks to its animal thematic which reminds Western people of Disney's stuff, and thus this is a more appealing-looking series for them as opposed to most other animes which have the typical Japanese big-eyed anime style which is a turn off for most people (who don't watch anime).
Animes like Re:Zero, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dr Stone, etc might be huge in the anime community, but if you take them out of said community, nobody would watch them (specially in the West). Beastars has a more "mainstream" appeal to people who mostly consumes live-action Western series, which is why its numbers are so huge despite the reception among anime-fans being average.

I really hope a S3 gets announced next month at the end of the final episode, as stated above it has been doing great in official numbers on all streaming platforms, literally the only thing that worries me a bit is the manga being finished but other than that there isn't any other reason why they would stop here.

Yeah, that's what I meant, it isn't getting the appreciation outside of Japan that it deserves. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that the only way people outside of Japan can watch it at the moment is by sailing the high seas.

The artists of the opening(YOASABI) are really popular in Japan. There first single Yoru ni Kakeru was number one for multiple weeks. Check out there rest of there music if you liked the opening. There a duo by the way with one producer and one female singer.
