It has been revealed that Aya Endo, who plays the Inari group boss Ten, Wataru Takagi, who plays the Madara group boss Miso, and Wataru Takagi , who plays the Doku group boss Sabon, will appear in Part 2 of "BEASTARS FINAL SEASON," the final installment of the anime "BEASTARS," based on the manga by Paru Itagaki that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Champion" (Akita Shoten). The final promotional video, which features the opening theme "LA FERALIA" by Satoru Kanzaki, has also been released on YouTube.
Endo commented, "Ten is very graceful and cool, from his posture to his movements! He was a character that made me stand up straight while playing him. The actors I co-starred with were also very passionate, and it was impressive to see them express the work and their characters with their whole bodies! Please look forward to it!"
Takagi said, "Of course, the drama will be about building up to a climax, but I also hope that viewers will enjoy the idea that if Wataru Takagi were an animal, it would be like this..."
Katsu commented, "I am honored to have been able to take part in this wonderful production, which, despite the cute animal designs, is very human and has a poisonous side to it. Each character has their own sense of justice, and my character, Sabon, also has his own sense of justice and fights for it, so I tried to bring out that energy as well. I hope everyone will look forward to it!"
"BEASTARS" is a manga featuring anthropomorphized animals.

The anime is produced by Orange, the studio behind "Land of the Lustrous." Legoshi is voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi and Sayaka Sembongi plays Haru.
