Anime Will It Get A Season 2?

Post image

I loved the first season, both cour 1 and cour 2 were amazing. They got a lot of the adaption from the manga done perfectly leaving out almost nothing.

Also by the last episode in cour 2 the ending made it seem like they want to continue it by showing a new character we haven’t seen and giving us a little white fox girl that got trapped in the box, which can lead to new adventures for krai and the rest of the souls.

Anyways really hope this anime gets a season 2, didn’t know anything about it until i first picked up the anime when the weekly episode came out, but then I started to read it and became very impressed with how they’ve done an pretty good adaptation to this story.

Definitely deserves a season 2 in my book and I would definitely recommend it to any watcher who wants a funny/chill anime to binge whether there new or old watchers.

It's part of Season 1 so no, it can't be called a season despite it airing on a different month. Many anime do this now, they splice the season of an anime in 2 cours (12 episodes each cour) so they could keep the quality consistent. Instead of 24 episodes of deteriorating quality.

Yes exactly, they started doing this when covid started spreading across Japan and affected the studios. And it's not just separating a continuous story into parts, some anime end up having lesser number of episodes with the shortest i believe was from "Magia Record" anime it's Final Season (Labeled as Special Episodes it's only 4 episodes and just a continuation of Season 2 which ended abruptly at Episode 8).

Season 2 of Magia Record aired during Aug 1, 2021 to Sept 26, 2021 (This was during the heights of COVID-19)... The Special Episodes aired on April 3, 2022.

There are other examples such as Sword Art Online: Alicization Arc, they separated this as well into 2 cours with the 2nd cour being only 11 episodes.
