Beastars Season 1 ended with its protagonists Legoshi and Haru at a relationship crossroads as the anthropomorphic wolf declared he needed to sharpen his instincts before officially beginning their romance.
Netflix has released the opening credit sequence for the upcoming second season, reuniting the pair as they run through Cherryton Academy. As Legoshi comes to terms with his carnivorous tendencies, Haru is menaced by a voracious foe.

Set to the show's new theme song "Kaibutsu (Monster)" by Yoasobi, the opening sequence is an effervescently colored, surreal odyssey as the couple flee for their lives with the murderous predator in hot pursuit. The development comes with Season 1's primary antagonist Louis still on the loose and eager to fracture the fragile peace between the carnivores and herbivores
