The long-awaited final season of the anime BEASTARS is set to culminate in two parts, with Part 1 premiering on December 5. Alongside the main trailer, the ending theme song and the voice cast for new characters debuting this season have been announced. Fans can also look forward to the return of familiar characters from Seasons 1 and 2.
Set in a world where carnivores and herbivores coexist, this ensemble drama features young beasts grappling with their instincts. The anime is based on Paru Itagaki's masterful comic, published by Akita Shoten in Shonen Champion Comics, which has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and received many awards. In 2019, the anime adaptation, produced by Japans leading CG animation studio Orange, received international acclaim. This anthropomorphic drama, crafted by fresh talent, explores themes of discrimination, love, vulnerability and hope.
Meet the new characters and voice cast:
Shigeru Chiba voices Gosha, a Komodo dragon who once aspired to become a BEASTAR alongside Yahya but abandoned that path after a particular incident. He's gentle-minded but possesses powerful venom.
Shin-ichiro Miki voices Yahya, a horse and current BEASTAR who's a believer in justice. He wears a blindfold to suppress his wide vision and wariness.
Koji Okino voices Melon, a mysterious beast operating in the underground, whose true identity remains unknown.
Tessho Genda voices Sagwan, a spotted seal of indeterminate age living in Legoshi's apartment building. Having recently moved from the ocean, he's still adapting to life on land and has a calm personality.
Fumiko Orikasa voices Seven, a Merino sheep and Legoshi's neighbor, working at a major sporting goods manufacturer. She's exhausted from working in a male-dominated corporation.
Don't miss BEASTARS Final Season Part 1 on December 5, streaming exclusively on Netflix.
