Beastars Finale on Netflix: Is It Worth Your Time?
Beastars has returned with its "final" season on Netflix, and fans are buzzing. This unique anime, adapted from Paru Itadaki's manga, continues to explore the complex world of anthropomorphic animals. The new season dives into the heart of the story, focusing on the intense dynamic between carnivores and herbivores. With its mix of drama and intrigue, the series keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. But don't be fooled by the term "final" — there's more to come. Let's delve into what makes this season a must-watch for fans of the series.
The Story So Far
In this season, we follow Legoshi, a lanky wolf struggling with self-control, who has been expelled from Cherryton Academy. His actions have sparked segregation within the school and society. The series continues to explore the duality between carnivores and herbivores, a central theme of Beastars.
Legoshi's unresolved feelings for Haru, a small rabbit, add another layer of complexity. This season takes a more cerebral approach, reminiscent of the Yakuza saga, offering a unique blend of tones.
Character Dynamics
The series struggles to justify the presence of its secondary characters. The focus shifts from a high school mystery to a noir-style plot involving factions and a dangerous drink affecting carnivores. This shift highlights one of Beastars' weaknesses — a lack of clear direction.
Legoshi receives help from Yahva, a horse, to confront Melon, the final boss. Melon's eccentricity provides a visual treat for viewers, thanks to the animation by studio Orange.
Visuals and Animation
Beastars maintains its distinctive visual style with a mix of 3D and occasional 2D animation. While the style might age soon, it still delivers a cinematic experience, especially in the first episode.
The ending pays tribute to female characters, though their roles seem to serve the protagonist's journey. Haru's fate remains a mystery, reflecting the fluid and unpredictable nature of the series.
Key Moments and Surprises
- The revelation of Legoshi's mother's secret, echoing the hybrid character Melon.
- An entertaining masquerade ball scene, better executed in the manga.
Despite its challenges, Beastars continues to surprise and entertain. Fans can look forward to meeting new characters and witnessing the final showdown in the upcoming episodes.
