Welcome to the World of BEASTARS
#

BEASTARS takes place in a complex society inhabited by both carnivores and herbivores. It is a world defined by a delicate balance of hope, love, and pervasive anxiety. The story follows Legoshi, a wolf and member of Cherryton Academy’s drama club. Despite his imposing nature as a carnivore, Legoshi is remarkably sensitive, navigating the tensions of his identity and his environment.

Is the Anime Really Finished?
#

For those wondering if they can commit to the series and get a complete story, the answer is nearly there. The anime has entered its “Final Season.” According to recent reports, the second part of this final season is scheduled to debut on Netflix on March 7, 2026.

Because the original manga concluded its run in October 2020, the anime is adapting a completed source material. Once the final part of the final season concludes in 2026, viewers should have a satisfying conclusion to the story without needing to transition to the manga for the ending.
