Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 07/30/2021
4/5
What worked best about the first season and continues to here is the fusion of elements - murder-mystery and high-school drama, traditional and computerized animation, anthropomorphic characters who can't help but succumb to their animal side. Go to Full Review

Season two struggles to match the sensational blend of psychoanalysis and social commentary that put Beastars on the map. Go to Full Review

9.5/10
Beatsars Season 2 blends slice-of-life, action, fantasy, and mystery into a near-perfect story that doesn't rely on the novelty of anthropomorphic animals. Go to Full Review

9/10
The character development and storyline in season 2 is remarkable, and while we're delivered something atypical for most Shonen in regards to the final fight, season 2 of Beastars is a magnificent entry into a standout anime series. Go to Full Review

ice T @ice77 Nov 22 Season 2 Is still great i love it See more Phil H @RT20674666 Apr 13 I did not like how the characters developed and how the story ended in the final episode. See more Ash P @AshParth 03/02/2025 So I understand that this season was one of the weakest of the series. I will admit, there were a few too many subplots that were shown in this. The most interesting parts of the plot involving Legoshi and Louis. The sections between Legoshi and Haru were while Haru was absent most of the season. We continue the murder of Tem but the reveal of it felt a little off for me. Also, there is Pina, the new character introduced this season, who's just there to keep the plot going while being a little pointless, in my opinion. The animation is still great, the voice acting continues to improve, but the story does feel a little here and there with the subplots that I'd mentioned earlier. Even to say some of the dialogue and some scenes felt a bit hokey, if you ask me. The ending itself felt a bit underwhelming along with how it ends. It does continue to be dark with a touch of acceptance throughout the season and can say that it was fine. Just not as great as the first season has been. I give this six body shaved Legoshi's out of ten. 6/10. See more LABEL 2 @RT75584273 12/09/2024 细腻的情感变化本该逐步展开,却被粗暴地堆积到片尾以强行制造“爆发”,最终弄成这么个不伦不类的样子。叙事水准大幅退步,影像表现又完全不见任何提升,毫无美感又蠢笨的左右两格式分镜永远也不想再见了。 See more Mr A @RT84223277 12/05/2024 When I watched season 2, I felt a sense of incompleteness, as if something was missing. It was only after reading the manga that I understood: they simply pulled a "Tokyo Ghoul." In other words, many important parts of the story were rushed or entirely left out: the backstory of Legoshi's family, the development of the relationship between Legoshi and Haru, and the internal narration of the character. All of this was sacrificed to make more room for "fight scenes," which is unfortunate. This is likely to cause issues in season 3. Essential characters, such as Legoshi's grandfather or his connection to the Beastar, have yet to be introduced, even though they play a crucial role at this point in the story. See more Daniel H @RT65353522 09/23/2024 it's a good second season. my only real issue is with haru and legoshi's relationship, which feels like a huge missed opportunity this time around to give them some much needed development and prove that they can work as a couple. ending was also pretty mid. those two factors bring it down a lot for me. (the show is still a modern masterpiece tho lolol) See more Read all reviews
