The major strength of "Beastars" has been it's surprising emotional depth,excellent character work & great writing.Season 2 delivers on all these while taking the ideological battle a bit further.While the first season impressed with continuous analogies with human life,S2 doesn't waste any time at repeating it.Our characters have all had their arcs and we meet them as changed people.However,the new season is far more testosterone fueled than the first one.

As usual herbivores & carnivores continue to be put in precarious situations with each other.The anime treats every aspect of animal life with humanity(or "bestiality"?) "Beastars" manages to give a brilliant overview of the philosophical tidings of every animal.One is an idealist,one keeps running away from himself,one is completely cynical & there is this one character whose idealism stands out in the sacrifice & burden it brings with it.

The dialogue on the anime is absolutely top notch.It gives the characters so much depth & brings out their personalities so well.It is also amazing how everyone manages to be true to themselves while still causing trouble for someone else.While I could watch 10 seasons of all these characters coming to terms with their world,I felt Season 2 ended perfectly.

Highly recommend it.
