I don't know, depending on the person I like both of them. Waiting for the final season😊

In my opinion, season 2 was a bit better than season 1

I preferred s1 because for me personally.. s2 came off as very rushed. Not only is the romance sidelined but overall didn't feel cohesive outside of the murder mystery.

Bruh. It's like a difference of 0.03, which means, there is only a little difference.

Besides, when I was watching, both seasons had the same rating of 7.98

i talked about this with a friend.

he said he preferred season 1 more because of the better world building.

i prefer season 2 because I think it has a better overarcing story.

I only recently watched the 2 seasons a month or 2 back, and they're basically the same quality. S1 starts of really strong, but I guess that's because there's no disappointment to be had since it's just the setup. This results in the first 6 or so episodes being the best Beastars has ever been in the anime. S1 2nd half is so stupid and illogical that it became the worst Beastars has been. S2 first half was dull and didn't add much, whilst the latter half was unexpectedly enjoyable. Yet, both seasons are still just weak at its main goal. Though, because s2 focuses more on it, I guess I'll give my vote to the sequel.

honestly I really enjoyed both as it was very well written and more so it was a good 3d anime.

and I'd say it worked better than Zootopia because of its higher age rating

I read some comments below and I don’t get it “Why people like S2?”. First of all the OP is much worst and I don’t understand a plot of S2. Maybe a problem is in translation on Netflix idk. I prefer S1 by the way.

S1 is like an introduction. Mostly focus on the school life.
S2 is outside the school, more emotional and has more character development in my opinion.

S1 is far better in my opinion. I liked the character progression, the interaction between the carnivores and herbivores. The romance between the two main characters was great with lots of tension. Then came S2. very little of what made S1 good. Someone else said it already, seemed like a side story with no connection to the main plot. Haru and Legosi's relationship is totally absent, HUGE disappointment after the big rescue in S1. That being said, the opening song for S2 is the best I have ever heard. Oddly it and the opening animation look like they belong on S1.

S2 could've been better. It definitely tackled a better topic to me. I really don't care about Legoshi's romance with Haru, but I really like the whole society concept this show presents. I guess they did a fine job presenting the conflicts, but the conclusions were poorly delivered in my view.

Still, it's a ok season, but I'm more about wanting to know how it ends to give it a conclusion rather thab expecting 3rd season anxiously.

Without question, season one. Season two was something of a downgrade for me. I didn't appreciate or enjoy as much the sudden change in focus for several episodes on the bear character or bringing up side characters and then not ever really revisiting them again to follow up and elaborate on, such as the snake security guard.

Don't get me wrong - I still by and large enjoyed season two and would definitely watch a season three of Beastars at some point if one is ever made and released. I rated season one an 8/10 and season two a 7/10. So the difference on paper just looking at those two numbers doesn't seem huge, but for me, a 7/10 is my average "good" rating which I hope to end up rating the majority of series I watch. Whereas just that one point difference to reach an 8/10 requires a little more of a spark of something special and extra incorporated into it which I felt season one possessed and season two lacked.

Whether I end up rating the Beastars series an 8/10 or 7/10 as a whole in retrospect then depends on whether there is a season three or any other future seasons beyond that, and whether they're closer in quality level to the first or second season or even above the first or below the second.
