Beastars: The Final Season

the manga was dogshit long before 191. the 'ending' was just putting an arc with no ongoing plot beyond "villain bad" out of its misery.

If Orange adds in the stands I'm dropping the anime and I will be laughing at Houseki fans for wanting a Season 2 from Orange. So glad Paru dropped the stand shit, it never would have worked properly anyways.

are they really making another season? This doesn't bode well for Studio Orange, imo.

Melon was mostly fine - he did jump more than a few sharks and forgot that he wasn't the final villain of a shounen manga a few times -

But the issue is that Paru introduced a bunch of characters, plot lines, and abstractions (Fucking Stands were introduced) then dropped them because she wrote herself into a corner, or lost an assistant, or was simply tired of working on the series.
Paru's dad writes Baki and it was a common meme that she started asking her dad to write chapters for her.

Legoshi lost a lot of his autistic charm and as the series became about combat he adapted to fit it instead of rejecting the mold.

I don't think people really cared about a father-son reunion, it was more that Melon was a retarded concept. "I'm a hybrid of carnivore and herbivore, which means I can't taste any food and I have an elevated sadistic streak for no fucking reason." Also Haru yet again is like "I guess I'll kill myself for no reason" which just felt like a shitty excuse to give Legoshi a reason to be personally invested in taking Melon down.

I still stand by that despite Melon upping the ante with all his "Look how crazy I am" bullshit that if Paru had stuck mostly to the drama, characters, and dialog while violence sometimes being a vehicle to these things instead of turning the series into
"Hey kids, didn't get enough Fishman Karate and Furry fighters in this Week's One Piece? Check this out! We even have the Joker(tm)!"

Only despair, animes second season was super rushed, and the manga was all over the place and then the ending was super rushed.

ok

I just think it was a mistake to introduce hybrids into the series at all. The whole point of the series was to juxtapose realistic biology with anthropomorphized animals, so it betrays itself by making a plotline out of something that doesn't actually exist.
Legoshi also shouldn't have been a quarter Komodo Dragon, that was dumb as fuck. I was all on board for a Komodo Dragon having raised him for some reason, which would have fleshed out his openness to inter-species bonding, but to actually be a blood relative? Retarded.

Why? Beastars was popular during its run despite how people thought about the final arc. Also Beastars is a Netflix joint so its probably the best thing they could be doing monetarily.

I felt like Legoshi still had his autistic charm in the finale. Especially with the whole "the tails are in my pants" and "we wolves will protect you" (that was kinda wtf lol) conclusions. I mean, Beastars is for the most part a coming of age story, so Legoshi growing up, realizing that not all adults are nice and will play by the rules (like Melon after both shooting him at the party and the beach scene), and learning social skills (like he did in the third arc) is going to affect the story. Dunno if that helps explain it. He's still autistic at the start of Melon though.

I think Hybrids and the Komodo Dragon thing was fine - until it started being used for power ups and combat abilities/transformations.

Like, was Melon in the story to show Legoshi the reality and difficulty of raising a hybrid child?
To give insight to the social, psychological, physiological tribulations such a child might have?

Or just to unlock the hidden potential of his Bishounen-Alpha-Wolf-King-Komodo-Dragon bloodline by subjecting the MC to non-stop climatic action movie scenes so that he can karate chop his future super villain offspring?
