Oxxidation posted:actually i'll keep going because that post is just so god damned terrible that it warrants being kicked while it's down I was gonna type a big long nerdy reply but I think this post pretty much sums up a lot of my feelings on the matter. I don't really care if Louis ended up with Juno or not because I don't really care about Juno much as a character and I'm not generally invested in OTPs, but Louis's ending of meekly retreating into a terrible loveless arranged marriage with a virtual non-entity(Azuki received precisely zero development beyond "doesn't care about Louis at all") and portraying him as super isolated and lonely at the end instead of celebrating the bonds that he worked so hard to build throughout the series is whack as hell and one of the biggest letdowns possible.

I'm gonna be honest. This series went from one of my favorite manga series I'd ever read... and then became worse than the isekai drek that are a dime a dozen, because at least those dont give you any expectations. Everything post Legosi's little apartment party was down hill. The last dozen chapters were instead down a cliff. I genuinely cannot recommend this series to people because its latter half is so bad.

Personal theory here, but it does feel that this story was badly harmly when it transitioned out of the inevitable high-school environment. Some great moments came after thart, but they were increasingly loose and disconnected. I don't get why a more gradual, natural change to college/early work life would not have served the narrative better. Other than that fact that college is basically No Man's Land in manga world; it's the end of stories, never a part of them. Having the actual Beastar selection take place as they decided on professions, careers and work would have also felt a lot more natural. "This guy killed it at HS beast The Tempest, he should be our supreme leader!" was weird from the off, but I was hoping it would gain context.

I get a feeling the author was just severely burned out by the end there. Would be better if manga went on hiatus, but I assume new authors aren't afforded that kind of freedom to decide their schedule.

somepartsareme posted:you are being pretty aggressive and weird about this. i don't like how this story ended up but calling paru "self-sabotaging and mean-spirited" for it is weird So saying the ending sucks and the story's been not great in the latter half is fine, but talking about the author themselves making said poor decisions with the plot is just going way too far, got it.

I mean yeah, artists can make bad creative decisions without being malicious or deserving of personal attacks. It's kinda just a lovely way to be.

Am I alone in thinking the manga was fine ultimately as it will probably serve as a foundation for more anthology style stories from Paru? The last issue is already setting them up. Would have liked to have gotten a clue about Juno though.

I'm guessing they probably redid the fight with the drug dealers a bit to punch it up.

if you mean the blood-bone dealers then that was after legosi dropped out. he's in his school uniform during that fight in the trailer too, so it's probably not part of his work with gouhin. not sure what the context could be

Generic j-pop in the opening is quite a step down from Wild Side.

Eh, a shakeup can be good (even if Wildside made me absolutely fall in love with Ali's music).

Maybe they are considering Season 3 but know a Melon arc will be terrible.

Honestly? I'd be more interested in fanfiction season 3 than continuing based on the actual manga.

If Studio Orange straight up writes out Melon from the anime that would be the best thing.

Melon should have been two separate characters from the start: the crazy serial killer hybrid and a charismatic mob boss who wants to expand the reach of the back allwy market

Studio Orange has like one or two other series entering their pipeline I believe, including a possible Berserk adaptation. I'm getting this feeling Beastars may not get a season 3, or at least not soon after 2.

saw it theorized elsewhere that covid might have hampered their work on the opening, hence why all the animation is recycled from season 1 hope that's not a sign of things to come with the season proper

Hmmm, depending on how they set things up for remote work, I could see people having to work with far less powerful computers than they are used to. That could seriously hinder production. Also, it makes collaboration harder.
