Beastars Final Season part 2 is incredibly frustrating. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a train wreck of a final act, but there was definitely a derailment at some point that eventually led to a giant clustermolest of an ending. Several characters, Legoshi in particular, start taking stupid pills in order to make mistakes that conveniently send the plot in the direction that’s most beneficial for an epic climax, there are so many concurrently-running plot threads eating into each other’s screen time, with only one or two of them getting any sort of acceptable resolution, and it even resorts to breaking its own worldbuilding rules inorder to construct scenes that seem cool on the surface, but just feel kinda dumb if you think about them for more than ten seconds. There were some bright spots of characterization and thematic intrigue, especially regarding Melon, his upbringing as a mixed-species individual, and how the circumstances of his birth led him to becoming a self-hating psychopath. I also still love a good chunk of the worldbuilding and the extreme attention to detail in creating a unique and believably vibrant world with its own sets of cultures, belief systems, and communities, and the cinematography and animation are just as strong as they have been for this show’s entire run, though this final installment did seem to lack some of the more abstract flourishes of previous seasons. I fully understand the destination that this story was attempting to arrive at, but the final stops on the way there were so egregiously jarring and disappointing that it ultimately sours the entire experience. I still love season 1, and perhaps it might still work as a standalone entry despite having so many mysteries unsolved, but I don’t think I can wholeheartedly recommend the entirety of Beastars knowing that its grand finale is so nonsensical.
