  • Shounen Maid Season 2: Renewal, Release Date & Other Updates

    After four long years, it’s finally time to ask some serious questions. Will Shounen Maid Season 2 ever release? Despite heavy-demands, Studio Eight Bit is yet to wave the green flag. However, that does not confirm the anime’s cancelation either. Fans from around the globe are ready to support the second season. What’s in the future of the show? Here’s everything you need to know.

    Shounen Maid originated as a comedy manga series written and illustrated by Ototachibana. It began serialization in 2008 and survived for nearly a decade until April 2017. Due to its popularity, the manga was soon picked up for an anime adaptation by Studio Eight Bit. The 12-episode television show aired in Japan between April and July 2016. Since then, fans have been waiting for another season.

    Shounen Maid Season 2: Renewal Updates

    Many of the Shounen Maid viewers believe that the comedy anime is underrated and deserves more attention. Both critics and audiences have given positive reviews to the first season. In fact, the first few episodes of the installment gained much popularity when they aired in Japan. However, later on, the viewership of the show decreased. This might be one of the reasons why Eight Bit has not renewed a sequel.

    Shounen Maid Season 2

    On the other hand, given that its source material has already ended, producing Shounen Maid Season 2 will be a bigger risk for its studio. Well, anime adaptations often act as an advertisement for their source material. Hence, they only have a future until they have content. Thus, as soon as the source material ends, the chances for sequels fall. Unfortunately, this might become the case with Shounen Maid too.

    The original manga series had already ended back in April 2017. Hence, Shounen Maid Season 2 has low chances for return. However, as long as the anime is not officially canceled, there will always be hope for more content. In the past few years, social media and online petitions have made it easier for fans to reach out the creators of any show. Thus, they hold much power over any series’ future. If there’s enough demand for the second season, Eight Bit or any other studio might take the risk of producing it. We will update this article with any further information.

    Is There Enough Source Material For The New Season?

    Well, unlike other shows, anime adaptations are dependant on their source material for the plot. Animation studios rarely create original stories for adaptations if they have less source material left. The Shounen Maid manga ran for a total of ten volumes. Whereas, the television anime consumed the plot of almost seven of them. Hence, the second season barely has any content to adapt. Sadly, this further decreases the chances for its return.

    When Will Shounen Maid Season 2 Release?

    Since the anime is yet to get a renewal, it’s currently hard to predict a release date. However, even if Eight Bit greenlights Shounen Maid Season 2 right away, they might take a while to write an original plot for it. Hence, no new episodes might premiere before mid to late-2022. Keep an eye on this corner for all future updates.

With a few petitions and many social media requests, fans are all set to save it from cancelation. Is there any hope for another installment? What’s in the future of the anime? Here are all the answers to your burning questions.

    Black Blood Brothers, also known as Burakku Buraddo Burazāzu, was originally a light novel series written by Kōhei Azano and illustrated by Yuuya Kusaka.

In 2006, the story was picked up for an anime adaptation co-produced by Studio Live and Group TAC. The television anime aired for a total of twelve episodes between September and November 2006.

    Black Blood Brothers Season 2: Renewal Updates

    The debut season of BBB did not complete the anime’s story. Viewers were left with many unresolved plotlines and mysteries. Hence, for years, fans of the anime have been waiting for a second installment. Unfortunately, neither Studio Live nor Group TAC have renewed Black Blood Brothers Season 2. In fact, it seems like the makers have entirely forgotten about the project.

    However, the vampire-themed anime still has a major following waiting for another installment. A lot of fans have signed some petitions in support of the sequel, while many of them have made several social media requests too. In today’s world, fans hold quite a lot of power in the survival of a series. Hence, if there are enough people demanding Black Blood Brothers Season 2, Studio Live, Group TAC, or any other studio might show interest in the project. Until then, fans will have to wait for an official announcement. We will update this section with relevant information.

    Reboot Or Movie Adaptation?

    Well, fourteen years is a very long time for an anime to make a comeback. While it’s not impossible, it sure is very rare. However, the easiest way for an old series to return is as a reboot series. In fact, some well-known names such as Berserk and Sailor Moon Crystal have previously returned as reboot series after more than 20 years. On the other hand, movie adaptations are very common too. The studios can complete the unresolved plotlines and solve the remaining mysteries in a movie.

    Black Blood Brothers Season 2

    When Will Black Blood Brothers Season 2 Release?

    As of now, none of the companies related to the production of the anime have renewed it for another installment. In current circumstances, if fans make enough efforts, the studios might announce the renewal in a few years. At the earliest, the new episodes might premiere by mid or late-2022. Keep an eye on this corner for all future updates.

  • Dance With Devils Season 2: Will There Be A Second Season? All The Latest Details!

    It has been five years since the fans last saw Dance With Devils on screen, and now they are getting impatient to see Dance With Devils Season 2.

    Dance With Devils Season 2

    Dance With Devils Season 2: Canceled Or Renewed?

    Brain’s Base Animation Studio animated the debut season of the anime. The initial installment was successful enough to get its sequel. So everyone thought the makers would release its sequel soon. However, that didn’t happen. Over these years, a lot of rumors also made their rounds regarding the release of Dance With Devils Season 2. The demand for the second season of the anime was at its peak during the year 2017.

    At that time, some officials also claimed that the fans might see an OVA episode in the near future. And that too didn’t happen. Brain’s Base Studio is yet to make an official announcement regarding the future of the show. The studio neither canceled nor renewed it for its following season. Therefore some fans are still in hope that the anime will return sooner or later. 

    Dance With Devils Season 2

    Will The Anime Ever Return?

    The makers stooped the publication of its manga after releasing its only volume. The first volume was released three days after the completion of the anime. And that means Brain’s Base doesn’t have any source material to produce Dance With Devils Season 2. The initial one also ended without any cliffhanger. Therefore the makers have to begin from scratch to make the sequel of this popular anime. So, it is very unlikely that the fans will ever see its second season. For now, it is better to believe that anime will not return. 

  • Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2: Renewal, Release & Everything To Know

    NAOE’s Aoharu x Machinegun manga series has been quite a successful project for its publishers. It serialized for almost seven years and ruled the hearts of its readers. However, despite its popularity, the manga series ended back in August 2019. Well, this might affect the future of its anime adaptation. Studio Brian’s Base is yet to renew Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2. Will it ever come out? Is there any hope for its return? Here’s everything you need to know.

    Aoharu x Machinegun, also known as Aoharu x Kikanjuu, originated as a manga series written and illustrated by NAOE. It began serialization in Gangan Comics’ shounen manga magazine from June 2012 and was later launched as a full-fledged series in 2013. A few years later, the manga inspired an anime adaptation produced by famous animation studio Brian’s Base. The television series aired in Japan between July and September 2015. The episodes reached the international audience through Sentai Filmworks and AnimeLab.

    Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2

    Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2: Renewed Or Canceled

    The first season of this action-comedy anime ended with a major cliffhanger. Since its last air in September 2015, fans have been keen to know what happens next in the story. Hence, with every passing day, the demand for another season is going out of hand. Sadly, Brian’s Base is yet to renew the much-awaited sequel. However, that doesn’t assure its cancelation either.

    Unlike most US television shows, anime series tend to take longer to return. In fact, some of them can have hiatuses as long as four to five years. The list includes some well-known anime such as One-Punch Man, Psycho-Pass, and Attack On Titan. Hence, until an official cancelation comes, there is still hope for Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2 as well.

    However, one of the only reasons threatening the anime’s future is its source material. Well, anime adaptations usually act as an advertisement for their source material. Hence, the adaptations rarely return after one installment and are canceled as soon as their light novel or manga ends. Sadly, in this case, the Aoharu x Kikanjuu manga was officially canceled in August 2019.

    Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2

    Thereby, in lack of content to promote, Brian’s Base might not renew Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2. Yet, if enough fans sign petitions and make social media requests, the studio might take the risk. Keep an eye on this corner for all future updates.

    Is There Enough Content For The Sequel?

    The first season of Aoharu x Kikanjuu anime covers less than five volumes of its source material. Whereas, NAOE’s popular manga has a total of eighteen volumes. Hence, there is still enough content left for Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2. In fact, there are enough manga volumes left for a third and fourth season (only if they get renewed).

    Aoharu x Machinegun Season 2: Release Date

    For the last five years, fans of the anime are waiting for the second season. However, the sequel is yet to get the green light from its producers. Well, even if they renew it right away, the installment might take a few years to hit the screens. At the earliest, a mid-2022 release date seems the most likely. We will update this article once the official date is announced.

  • Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2: Canceled! But Why? Can Fans Save It?

    For the last seven years, fans have done all they could have to support the renewal of Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2. From petitions to social media posts, they’ve already put enough pressure on the anime’s producers. However, none of the companies related to it have confirmed the sequel. In fact, according to recent rumors, Studio Lerche might cancel the series anytime soon. Is there any hope for its return? Can fans save it? Hence, here are all the things you need to know about the anime.

    Unbreakable Machine Doll is a popular media franchise that originated from a Japanese light novel series written by Reiji Kaitō and illustrated by Ruroo. It began serialization back in November 2009 and has released a total of seventeen volumes until July 2017. The fan-favorite LN series was later picked up for a manga and an anime adaptation. Studio Lerche’s television anime became an instant hit after its October 2013 debut.

    Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2: Renewed Or Canceled?

    Seven years after the first season, some rumors have emerged claiming the anime’s cancelation. Well, fortunately, Studio Lerche or any other company has neither renewed nor canceled the sequel as of today. In lack of any official announcement, it’s hard to say if the series will ever return. However, the chances are relatively low.

    Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2

    One of the main issues standing ahead of Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2 renewal is its source material. Well, unlike original anime, adaptations only survive as long as there’s content to promote. A major section of their revenue comes from the sales of their source material. Unfortunately, now that the Unbreakable Machine Doll light novel and manga series have ended, the anime might not get another chance at the screens.

    However, fans can save the anime from cancelation if through online support. Well, if enough people sign petitions demanding one more season, they might convince the studio. Moreover, social media posts can also pressurize Studio Lerche to renew the anime. We will update this section when the green flag arrives.

    Is There Enough Source Material For A New Season?

    The Unbreakable Machine Doll light novel series has a total of seventeen volumes. Whereas, the first season of the anime adapted the first four LN volumes. Hence, the second installment will probably cover the next four volumes. Even after that, Studio Lerche will have enough source material for a few more seasons.

    Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2

    Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2: Release Date

    Fans are still waiting for the official renewal of Unbreakable Machine Doll Season 2. Well, even if the green flag comes right away, Studio Lerche will take a few years to animate the new episodes. In any circumstances, the sequel might not premiere anytime sooner than late-2022.

  • Classroom Crisis Season 2: Renewed Or Canceled? Everything The Fans Should Know

    The fans have been waiting for Classroom Crisis Season 2 for the past five years. But they still don’t have any information regarding the future of the anime. And now they began to get impatient to see its following installment. Some fans even lost hope that the anime will ever return. While some loyal fans are still waiting for the second season to arrive. So will the anime ever return? Here are all the latest details. 

    Classroom Crisis is a Japanese anime series. Aniplex produced this show, which was animated by Lay-duce. The anime show made its debut on July 3, 2015. It ran for thirteen episodes and finished airing on September 25 of the same year. And that was the last time the fans saw this anime. Ever since then, they are waiting for its return. 

    Classroom Crisis Season 2

    Classroom Crisis Season 2: Canceled Or Renewed? 

    The first season of the anime opened up to a great response from the viewers and the critics. So, everyone assumed that there would be a second season. But it never arrived. So, the fans started demanding for it. They are demanding its sequel for the past five years. However, they haven’t got any response from the makers. They are pretty tight-lipped in talking about the future of the anime series. They are yet to renew or cancel the series officially. So, the fans are still waiting to get the words of officials on Classroom Crisis Season 2. 

    Classroom Crisis Season 2

    Will The Anime Return?

    Most of the anime series usually follow light-novel, manga, or video games for their plot. But Classroom Crisis didn’t follow any of them. It is an original series with an original plot that ended without any loose threads. Therefore, it is very unlikely for Lay-duce Studios to pick the series for Classroom Crisis Season 2 as there is nothing available to adapt as its plot. Plus, the studio is also busy with its future projects and has already released its pipeline for the upcoming year. So, the odds are certainly not in favor of its second season. It is better to believe that the anime ended with its first season and there won’t be any more installments of it. 

  • Barakamon Season 2: Why Anime Is Not Returning? Everything To Know

    It has been six years since the fans last saw Barakamon, and now they are getting desperate for Barakamon Season 2. Some of them even began to lose their hope of seeing the following installment of the anime. While some loyal fans are still waiting for its return. The makers did release a spin-off series, but the fans are waiting for the original one’s sequel. So will the anime ever return? Keep reading to know.

    Barakamon is a Japanese fantasy anime series. It adapts its storyline from the manga series of the same title by Satsuki Yoshino. The anime made its debut on July 6, 2014, and ran for 12 episodes. It aired its last episode on September 27 of the same year. Two years later, the makers released a spin-off series titled Handa-Kun, which is said to be the predecessor of the original anime.

    Barakamon Season 2

    Barakamon Season 2: Renewal Status!

    Kinema Citrus produced the debut season of the anime series. It got a positive response from the viewers as well as the critics. However, the makers showed more interest in the spin-off series than the original anime. As a result, after two years, when they should be releasing Barkamon Season 2, they released Handa-Kun Season 2.

    The fans didn’t complain since, at that time, Kinema Citrus doesn’t have enough source material to produce another season of the anime. But they never released any statement concerning the future of the anime series. They didn’t renew or cancel it officially. It has been six years, and the fans are still waiting to hear from them regarding the fate of their favorite anime. 

    Barakamon Season 2

    Will The Anime Ever Return?

    Both the original anime and its spin-off got a good response and were popular at the time of their release. The studio also planned to release more seasons of it as there are still a lot of stories left to tell. Satsuki Yoshino published the last 18th volume back in 2018, four years after the completion of the anime. And that means Kinema Citrus Studio now has more than enough source material to make Barakamon Season 2. However, the studio is quite busy nowadays and revealed its production pipeline for next year. 

    However, it is unlikely for them to pick the anime series again after six years. Most of its fans already believed that it wouldn’t return. And its popularity also decreased with a great margin. Therefore, now the decision will totally depend on the studio. So, fans can only hope that they will pick Barakamon for its second season. 

  • School Live Season 2: Renewal Soon? Will It Ever Return? Release Date!

    Studio Lerche’s meo-horror anime was a treat for many otakus and became a fan-favorite as soon as right after its release. Even after five years, the popularity of the show is intact. Moreover, fans still expect Gakkou Gurashi to return for a second round. However, has the studio renewed it yet? Will School Live Season 2 ever make it to the screens? Here’s everything you need to know about it.

    School-Live!, also known as Gakkou Gurashi, originated as a slice-of-life horror manga series written by Norimitsu Kaihō and illustrated by Sadoru Chiba. It began serialization back in 2012 and has been running for around eight years now. A total of twelve volumes have been launched so far, including the most recent one (Volumes 12) in January 2020. Impressed with the story, Studio Lerche picked up its anime adaptation. It debuted on Japanese television in July 2015 and aired for twelve episodes until September. A live-action film version of the manga premiered in January 2019.

    School Live Season 2: Renewed Or Canceled?

    The first season of School Live became an instant hit upon release. It received good reviews from critics and viewers both. In fact, the anime adaptation became popular enough to increase the sales of its manga to a large extent. Hence, naturally, fans assumed that a series as famous as Gakkou Gurashi is likely to get a renewal soon. Sadly, almost five years have passed, yet, Studio Lerche has not greenlit its second season.

    School Live Season 2

    Well, anime adaptations tend to act as mere advertisements to their source material. Hence, they are usually concluded after the first season, to compell anime viewers to read its source material if they want more content. This tends to happen a lot lately, and many anime with potential fall prey to this tactic. However, there are instances when studios renew sequels whenever the source material needs more promotion. As of now, the Gakkou Gurashi manga is still in the run. Thus, there’s still hope for School Live Season 2.

    Is There Enough Content For Gakkou Gurashi Season 2?

    Unlike original anime, adaptations are heavily dependant on their source material for content. Fortunately, School Live Season 2 does not have to worry about this matter. Firstly, even though the anime covers many chapters from the manga, it often went off the plot and featured original content as well. On the other hand, the first season only adapts until Volume 5 Chapter 30. Given that the manga already has twelve volumes, more than enough content is left for the sequel.

    School Live Season 2

    When Will School Live Season 2 Release?

    As of now, none of the companies related to the production of this meo-horror anime have confirmed its renewal. Hence, fans might have to wait for a few years to get the green flag. Currently, a mid-2022 release date seems the most likely. We will update this section with the official School Live Season 2 premiere date as soon as it is announced.

  • Terra Formars Season 3: Canceled Or Renewed? Everything The Fans Should Know

    It has been four years since Terra Formars: Revenge has ended. And now the fans are eagerly waiting for Terra Formars Season 3, especially after they got the glimpse of the upcoming arc in the form of OVA episodes. Its fans are getting curious to see the following installment of their favorite anime. So will it ever return? Here are all the latest details.    

    Terra Formars is a Japanese action-fantasy anime series. It is the remake of the manga of the same title by Yu Sasuga. The anime series made its debut with an OVA episode, which aired on August 19, 2014. After few months after its release, the first season began airing on September 26, 2014 and ran for thirteen episodes. The second season of the show premiered in 2016, which also ran for the same number of episodes. 

    Terra Formars Season 3

    Terra Formars Season 3: Renewed? 

    The fans last saw this anime back in 2018, when the makers released two OVA episodes. Ever since then, there is no news on the anime. The makers didn’t even cancel or renew Terra Formars Season 3 officially. So, the fans are still in the hope that it will return. The hiatus began with the health issues of the author of the manga series, Yu Sasuga. Back in 2017, he held the publishing of the manga for an indefinite period because of his health issues.  

    Terra Formars Season 3

    Do The Makers Have Enough Source Material?

    After going on a hiatus, the manga returned in 2018 for its final run. The makers published two more volumes that year to conclude the show. The anime series only adapted eleven volumes of the manga series. And the makers have published a total of 22 volumes. And that means Liden Films, who produced the previous two seasons of the anime, have more than enough source material to create Terra Formars Season 3. They can make two more seasons of the anime easily with that much source material. 

    Terra Formars Season 3v

    Terra Formars Season 3: Will The Anime Ever Return? 

    The debut installment of the anime show got a great response from the viewers. The critics also appreciated the show. However, its second season received quite the opposite response. The fans didn’t like the new tone and its anti-climactic ending.

    Neither the viewers nor the critics responded positively to it. And that’s the main reason the makers decided not to produce Terra Formars Season 3 despite having a lot of source material. All the hopes for its return were gone with the conclusion of its manga series. Since now the anime does not have anything to promote, so it is very unlikely the makers will ever release its third season.  

  • Joker Game Season 2: Renewal Updates, Release Date & All Updates

    The creators of the anime kept giving us hope for more content. However, they’re yet to renew Joker Game Season 2. Now that four years have passed, the demand for another season has increased. Will it ever return? What’s in the future of the spy anime? Here are all the answers to your burning questions.

    Joker Game originated as a light novel series written by Koji Yanagi back in 2008. The LN series received many awards during its run and became a sensation amongst otakus. Due to its immense popularity, the story was adapted into a live-action film, a manga series, and a television anime. Likewise, the anime adaptation was a hit amongst Japanese and international audiences alike. It aired for twelve episodes between April and July 2016. Moreover, the critically acclaimed venture went on to win a few accolades like its source material.

    Joker Game Season 2

    Joker Game Season 2: Renewal Updates

    For years, fans have been requesting Production I.G. to renew another season of the anime. Initially, the creators promised viewers that they’d be providing some new information about Joker Game in the near future. However, even after four years, they haven’t announced anything major about the anime’s return. Well, as of now, the studio hasn’t officially canceled the series either.

    Sadly, despite their promises, the possibilities for the return of the show are pretty low. One of the main reasons behind the same is the lack of source material. The debut season ended up consuming all the content available in the Joker Game light novel. Given that the LN series has only four volumes, the sequel will have no story to say. As a result, Joker Game Season 2 won’t happen unless the studio creates original content for its plot. However, that is very rare to happen.

    Yet, if enough fans are demanding a new Joker Game season, Production I.G. or any other studio might take the risk. In today’s world, from the support of social media, fans hold enough power in the renewal of a show. Studios and production companies tend to notice the audience demand. Hence, in order to save Joker Game Season 2, viewers should sign as many petitions and social media posts as possible.
