BNA Season 2: Renewed By Netflix?

Netflix has not made any official announcements regarding the anime’s future. The network has neither confirmed nor canceled BNA. Thus, we are not sure if the series will return for a second season. However, the anime has received some glorious ratings and reviews, which makes it a strong contender for another season. 

Unfortunately, Netflix has put various shows on hold following the disturbance in schedules due to the pandemic. Thus, fans should stay hopeful for the series to return in the near future.

How Did The First Installment Conclude?

Shirou returned to his normal state after biting Michiru. Alan informed Prime Minister Shiramizu that their plan to eliminate the Beastmen had commenced. Moreover, Mayor Rose discovered that Michiru and Nazuna’s blood could be used to neutralize the savage tendencies in Beastmen. They had unique DNA which had the ability to cure the Nirvasyl syndrome. Alan ran into Michiru and revealed that he considered himself a pure-blood Beastmen, unlike Shirou, an impure hybrid.

 Michiru found a recording in her phone of Shirou’s howling calming the savage Beastmen. She worked with Nazuna and Marie to broadcast it across the city. Alan tried to stop Michiru in his beast form, but Shirou defeated him. He managed to calm the Beastmen down with his howling while Michiru and crew widely distributed the serum. 

Alan’s conspiracy was exposed, and Mayor tried to reconcile the relations between the Beastmen and humans. Michiru decided to stay the way she was while the doors of Anima City were opened for humans in BNA Season 1. Thus, we can expect Michiru and Shinou to go on another Beastmen adventure and save the world if the anime returns for BNA Season 2.
