The full comment from Shinichi Matsumi, who has been the director of "BEASTARS" since the first season, is as follows:
[Shinichi Matsumi (BEASTARS director)]
The confrontation between Legoshi and Melon, Louis' resolve, and Haru's unwavering feelings. Fangs and horns clash, and friendship, love, and pride - everything is put to the test in a furious climax.
What does it mean to transcend species? Is love a strength, or a weakness?
The finale of this work is not only their story, but also a question for the world we live in. Please watch until the end.
