BeastarsReveals Ending Theme Artist and Additional Cast Members
In addition to the new release info and trailer,Beastarshas also revealed additional cast members for the characters of Gosha, Yahya, Melon, Sagwan, and Seven.

Koji Okino, who also voices Tetsutetsu inMy Hero Academiawill be voicing the ever-so-mysterious Melon, while Tessho Genda has taken on the role of Sagwan, a spotted seal. Lastly, Seven, a merino sheep, will be voiced by Fumiko Orikasa who also famously voices Rukia inBleach. Safe to say, the final season has quite a stellar cast with the original main voice cast also set to reprise their respective roles.
Additionally, Yuka, the artist for the ending theme has also provided a comment on being able to perform the ending theme for the series' final season which reads:
I am extremely happy to be in charge of the ending theme for “BEASTARS FINAL SEASON” Part.1. When I was approached and asked to finish the lyrics in English, I thought it was a great honor. For me, English is like a second heart. After much thought, I wanted to send to BEASTARS a cry from the heart, “I just wanna feel like this till I die,” set to a straightforward melody. I hope it will be a cheering song for Legoshi and the others who are pushing forward while burning their lives, and for you.
Beastars' Final Season Has Big Shoes to Fill As the Series' Conclusion
Beastars' final season is expected to pick up the manga from chapter #100 onwards kicking off the Interspecies Relations Arc followed by the Revenge of the Love Failure Arc which will likely be split between parts 1 and 2. Though it is yet to be revealed how many episodesBeastars' final season will have, the series should be able to satisfactorily adapt the remainder of the manga in two whole cours.
Fans can only hope that the anime takes its time with the story asBeastarshas been nothing short of spectacular so far, and it would be a shame if the series' final season were to fall short. Nonetheless, the final season is sure to have plenty of drama in store and, luckily, there isn’t all too long until its premiere this Winter.
