AMAZING, 11/10 if I could.

Story: 9/10
At the beginning of season 1 we see a devouring, and rather than have the story be driven by that they focused on the romance between Haru and Legoshi. In season 2 the story is specifically set around the murder and very little of Haru & Legoshi, so if you liked the first season because of the romance, you will not like season 2 as much. We see a lot more from Louis's Riz's pov in season and learn a bit more about their pasts, intention, and motives. We see less psychological stuff, like Legoshi thoughts and such, but ... I'm ok with that because his mental issues were more or less figured out by the end of season 1. I have never seen a more accurate portrayal of existing than this. I think that to really get the full experience from beastars, think of it as a poem or a representation.

Art: 10/10
The animation is just as good as it was in season 1, the mixed 3d and 2d animation work very well. Something I see a lot of in 3d animation is animation errors and general sloppiness, beastars has none (At least after watching the entire season once I didn't see any). The animation is expectedly consistent throughout the show, all of the characters seem like they have weight and strength. The style itself is quite unique when compared to other 3d anime. The frame rate on the characters is 24fps, not a lot that I can say about this since it really is just a preference for the viewer. I'm glad they did that though because even if doesn't take much effort to change frame rates in 3d it's still really nice to make it seem like you are indeed watching an anime and not an American cartoon.

Sound: 9/10
Nothing outstanding when it comes to environmental sounds meets the standard and that's that. The reason I give a 9/10 here is because of how well done the character's voices are. In both the sub and dub, their voices seem so relevant to how the characters feel and are currently moving, really well done and very lovely.

Character: 10/10
All the character have their own ways of thinking, the way the characters think is so so so real. Every one of the characters seems like somebody that could actually exist, for some of the more important characters we get to 'see' inside of their heads and get to understand their motives and thoughts.
Even the side characters had realistic thinking. The character's designs stay generally the same as in season 1, other than Louis getting a stylish new suit and Legoshi briefly changing color.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I wholeheartedly enjoyed this show and will recommend it to all and everyone. Do not judge this book by its cover, this is not the
"Furry show" that I thought it was when I saw it on Netflix.

Overall: 10/10
A lovely use of time.

So, just watched grimgar. And my thoughts are that SOME of the characters are unique I liked Yume and Ranta. But overall each character had a distinct way of thinking and personality from each other. I've seen the typical isekai show before, so when I started this I expected to see the usual. However, was pleasantly surprised by the fact that this show (at least in the beginning) was a slice-of-life show, about a life that nobody can relate to. Something that bothers me a tad is that nothing was ever explained about the world they're in, like absolutely nothing. I can look past it ... because of other aspects like the music, the music in this show was interesting, at certain points through a couple of episodes they had an original song (like the ones with lyrics), and its kinda like amv halfway through the eps, not especially difficult or extraordinary but its just something I've never seen before. The background art style was very unique and I like it but again it wasn't especially hard or complex to make, I just hadn't seen it before. I liked how the characters' outfits change throughout the story. I think the message of the story is about dealing with loss, at least partially. The class and magic system wasn't anything that I haven't seen before. To my surprise, I did cry while watching it, I won't tell you when though I think that would take away from it.
