Beastars 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.

Season two of Beastars does basically everything the same as the first season.

Story 8/10
We get to see the amazingly intriguing animal society of Beastars again. This time the story is split in two we have Legosi's story of drama and struggles and then we have Luis' rather meaningless story. The drama portion with Legosi is just as fun to watch as in the first season, and luckily takes up most of the season. We also have some not so great action again this season.

Characters 9/10
No noticeable changes in the quality of character writing.

Art 9/10
The 3DCG and camerawork are top-notch, at least in anime standards. 2D ... models of characters look far better this time.

Sound 9/10
The same as last season, just amazing. However, there weren't many new songs, which was a real bummer.

Enjoyment 9/10
Just as bingeable as last season. You just want to keep watching.

Overall 8.5 ≈9/10
Feels like I could've just copied my review of the first season here, with how similar the story plays out.

Mixed Feelings

English.
In this season a plot from the beginning of the first season is taken up, which is the murder of Tem the Alpaca, that fact that left the entire school in great darkness and dividing the species more, but this season I think it does not have the same essence than the first one, you have those philosophical problems and you can also compare the world they do in the anime with the real world, but I think the way they do it is not as good as the first one, as this one focuses on the Legoshi's masculinity and how he wants to protect ... herbivores because that's his responsibility, there are some plots that were left in the air from the previous season and that they don't finish or follow, but it's still very enjoyable.
It is like in the previous one, it has a beautiful animation, which, although there are times when it fails, you let them pass since it is so good that you let them pass, the story also continues with the same quality and although it has some errors (said previously) I think you will enjoy it very much. The soundtrack is as good as the first season, plus some audio tracks from the previous one are reused (something good because this one was good from the previous season).
In conclusion, this season is good, although not as good as the previous one.

Español.
En esta temporada se retoma una trama del principio de la primera temporada que es el asesinato de Tem la Alpaca, ese hecho que dejo a toda la escuela en gran penumbra y dividiendo más a las especies, pero está temporada creo que no tiene la misma esencia que la primera, se tienen esas problemáticas filosóficas y también se puede comparar el mundo que hacen en el anime con el mundo real, pero creo que la forma en que lo hacen no es tan buena como en la primera, como esta se enfoca en la masculinidad de Legoshi y el cómo quiere proteger a los herbívoros porque esa es su responsabilidad, hay algunas tramas que se quedaron en el aire de la temporada anterior y que no las terminan o las siguen, pero aun así es muy disfrutable está.
Está como en la anterior tiene una animación hermosa, que, aunque hay veces que falla, se las dejas pasar ya que es tan buena que se las dejas pasar, la historia también sigue con la misma calidad y aunque tiene algunos errores (dichos anteriormente) creo que la disfrutaras mucho. El soundtrack es tan bueno como la primera temporada además de que se reutilizan algunas pistas de audio de la anterior (algo bueno porque desde la temporada anterior era bueno este).
En conclusión, esta temporada es buena, aunque no tan buena como la anterior.

Not Recommended

I am not even gonna bother writing a long review.

- Nothing makes sense here. Story. Characters. Dialogues. World. Coherence between character relevance and screen time. All of it is absurd.
- The slight possibility that there is actual social criticism (people assume there is in S1 but no one really agrees what is the criticism about), is all in your mind. It doesn't exist.

- Characters are trash. Most of them already were in S1, and they still are. The ones that didn't suck or didn't talk enough to do it, now they do. Zero development or incoherent development for all of them.

- They build up ... hype for an ending that's extremely anticlimactic.

overall a huge pile of s***. Don't waste your time, I gave a 2 because I kinda like the animation, but I wouldn't disagree with someone rating this 1/10
