Toho opened an official website for a sequel of the anime series adapting Paru Itagaki's Beastars manga on Wednesday. Studio Orange is returning from the previous seasons to produce the sequel.

The first season premiered in Fall 2019 on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block, followed by a second season in Winter 2021—each running for 12 episodes. Netflix began streaming the seasons worldwide last March and July 15, respectively.

Itagaki began drawing the psychological drama manga in Shounen Champion magazine in September 2016 and ended it last October. Akita Shoten published the 22nd and final volume on January 8.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in November 2018 and began publishing it the following July. The 13th volume shipped on Tuesday.

Synopsis (2nd Season)
Beastar"—a title awarded to beasts who prove their excellence through fighting inequality to unite carnivores and herbivores in an anthropomorphic animal society. Cherryton Academy has gone five years without one such leader. However, following the murder of an alpaca within the school boundaries, the growing tension between the different species poses a greater need for a Beastar to ensure peace and harmony.

When Louis, the prime candidate for this prestigious role, rejects the offer and leaves the academy, the student council declares to honor any student who captures the culprit of the aforementioned murder as Beastar. Meanwhile, Legoshi's sense of duty as a strong wolf who must protect the weak pushes him to investigate the incident. To further complicate his life, he struggles to manage his complex feelings for the white rabbit, Haru. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Damn, dropout arc was my favorite, hope it'll be as good in the anime. Melon arc wasn't really all that great on the other hand, in my opinion. Really glad Studio Orange is continuing the adaptation, though I'd also really hope for another season of Houseki no Kuni someday :^(

Given the absurdity of the last volumes of the manga, I never thought that once it was over, it would be popular enough to get a sequel.

wasn't as keen on the second season as i was on the first, but i still liked it and am interested in seeing where the show goes next. it would also be cool if like what people are saying here, this season would make the anime a complete adapatation, since that's not something we get as much as i'd like.

Well, it's all downhill from here. I don't think Orange can patch up these last arcs and make them look half-decent — the manga certainly couldn't, above all during Melon arc — but we'll see.

the manga has some writing problems towards the end and the final conclusion isnt that good, but at the same time it has way more fun with its own over-the-top madness. Im still giving it a chance.

Yea I'd kinda hope they change that up in the anime as well - they did make some changes to that part in S2 with the strip club in the black market after all, right?

They should make it 24 eps .. instead of 12 .. or divide it into two coups ..S3 p2 And s3p2 .
I think they will.
Also , i miss land of lustrous ..( Houseki no Kuni ) .. i really want s2 .it was amazing .
My mom walking on me watch it ( the strip club ). .. the look on her face was horrifying ...she thought i was watching Animal .. p ......o ... R ... N ..

Do the people crying about HnK really think they will get a second season by complaining about another show getting more seasons? I don’t think they don’t really have a choice in the matter

it all depends on the production committee of HnK get mad at them instead lmao

It's not. I wish it was though but feminists and SJW's once again praise the ugly designs of all female characters (as always), making me have zero respect for the anime.

I think you have some problems dude. This isn't a "SJW feminist anime" at all, first of all, Japan doesn't care about that. Also most of the females in this show mostly only talk about the males everytime they get some lines, Haru the bunny in the 1st season got kidnapped and the wolf MAN Legoshi had to come and save her. Those two things are the most anti-feminism things ever lol.

I think you're too used seeing females always being portrayed with big boobs and loose clothes in 90% of animes which gets tiring and cliché and is a cheap way to get Japanese teens to keep watching the shows, no wonder considering the type of cheap shounen cliché animes you like to watch specially giving a 10 to High School DxD lol, and Beastars is the first anime in a long time were the few "almost" sex scenes actually play an important role in the storyline and aren't just used as cheap fanservice or comedy like in the majority of other animes, which is a nice change of pace and makes people who don't watch anime to actually take this one seriously unlike others.

1. japan didn't care about SJW shit. get the fuck of western bias out of here
2. beastars was originally published in male oriented demographic with lot of editorial approval. it was made by male audience in mind, both by mangaka and editorial
3. author simply draw animal because she feel her style of people drawing didn't sell as much attention
4. author become mangaka because inspired by her father which like peak masculinity author. she even stated that she was actually want to draw martial arts series like his father was, but then realize she isn't made for it.

houseki no kuni/land of lustrous is currently fucking dead. why would they adapt dead series?

I think the concept of anthropomorphism has been around for a very long time I can think of many anime that have "furry" characters in them.

If they are doing the melon arc, I hope they don't really stick with the main source..

I remember the arc after what they covered in the 2 seasons are kinda weak and a bit scattered here and there. The world building outside the school system is a bit messy (though it has potential, I think Itagaki-san didn't really planned it thoroughly and just patched things as she's writing).

I liked her concept that I started reading the manga before I finish the 2nd season. Watching Legoshi grow in a bigger society (and live independently) is nice, but there's so much loose plot that I ended hoping I didn't read the manga after the last arc covered in the anime.

I hope they just covered the dropout arc and write new things around that story, and doesn't really get into the melon arc. Or at least not adapting it blindly from the original source. I hope they end it up better than the manga. The last arc is so messy ...

I would be excited, but since the manga went so downhill I stopped reading it and put it on hold until it was completely published in English by Viz Media, I’m not.

Melon sucks, so this season’s probably gonna suck too.

Pandora Hearts is the best manga ever made and deserves an anime reboot

The furry journey continues with the manga's last legs being somewhat disastrous, hopefully that won't be the case with the eventual aorementioned Fruits Basket adaptation with The Promised Neverland S2 treatment.

I watched the second season recently on the Japanese Netflix (VPN rocks) and was so disappointed. The first season was really cool, had a really relatable stuff happening and yet, the second season was just low. It almost completely forgot Haru and Legoshi as a couple except for few scenes and focused completely on Legoshi's character development which went back and forth and Tem's death which should have been dealth with while in the first season + had all those weird side characters like the Boa who's waaay too big to be real and just everything happened too fast and got more weird with every episode. I missed the role Haru played in the first season and the whole 18+ thing that gave that anime spice :/ The only thing I liked about the second season was the creepy, gore parts. I hope this sequel will be better

I really like Beastars, but HnK is better. Period. Orange have plenty of time to make at least a couple of seasons until Ichikawa finish her manga.

Also, i agree with you regarding there's a lot of fkn stupid people with that western shit here.
