| Great topic. This series has turned out to be amazingly popular. So what's next? As of just this moment, the Amazon Stalker points for Volume 3: (on sale: 2/25) Blu-ray (regular edition) 8697 Blu-ray (special edition). .387 DVD. . .(regular edition). .555 DVD. . .(special edition). .101 I find it absolutely inconceivable that there won't be some kind of follow-on. What naturally comes to mind is a spin-off series along the lines of what happened in the otaku-centered "Genshiken" (2004,2006,2007,2013). Their fictional anime series "Kujibiki Unbalance" was first made into a 3-OVA series in 2004 and then later into a full-cour TV series in 2006. In the case of Shirobako, the potential spin-offs are all too obvious: - Exodus! - Andes Chucky - The Third Aerial Girls Squad - The disastrous Shirobako backstory of "Jiggly-Jiggly Heaven". Even if not full-cour, at minimum 3 OVAs of each. As a side note, Tsutomu Mizushima worked on Genshiken in 2004, 2006 and 2013. So the idea of a Kujibiki-Unbalance-like spinoff will certainly occur to him. I even suspect that he has been planning so as to keep his options open from the very beginning. |

| ^ Sound interesting.... Especially interested with the back-story of Jiggly heaven :) |
 |
| It would be interesting but I prefer if they just continue from this season and eventually all of the girls somehow work together on another anime or better their own anime. |

| I would love to see a second season if the original cast & staff comes back for it. Also, we have to consider that PA Works rarely does do sequels for their series. Maybe they could do a movie like what they did for Hanasaku Iroha. |
| Maybe they could animate a light novel series then a Visual novell type series in Shirobako as a second season. |
vodall said: i hope they didnt scrap anything from the 3rd and 4th cour to fit into the 24 episodes we got, with these sales they can totally find the justification to make a sequel.According to a Vol. 3 interview, Shirobako was originally planned to be 4 cours, with Miyamori going from runner to desk to line producer to producer. Hopefully this means more new material eventually! Source (NSFW Ads) |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

 |
| I hope they will make season 2!! 24 episodes is not enough! |
| I'm skeptical this show will get a second season, I've loved it dearly though the 20 episodes that we have gotten so far but this show might have too small of a niche market to get a second season, especially how hard getting sequels are. |
  |
| A second season would be amazing. It's pretty fun watching this kind of show and how anime it's made. Hard work! |
 |
| They already included Episode 1 of "Exodus!" with Volume 3 of the Blu-ray/DVD which contains Episodes 7, 8 and 9. Volume 3 went on sale on February 25th. The raw is already out, and I'm hoping it will be subbed really soon. I take the fact that it is being called "Exodus! Episode 1" is a hint that there might be additional episodes. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all if "Exodus!" turned out to be a very successful independent spinoff series. I watched the raw and the animation quality is fantastic, as expected. Given the huge sales in Japan, and given the natural open-ended nature of the story, I feel certain that we will be seeing Shirobako Season 2 before long. My initial reaction was also that Shirobako addresses a very specialized topic, uses a lot of technical terminology, has a large ensemble cast, and therefore would appeal only to a niche market. In fact, I suspect that this is actually true. But it seems that a very large percentage of people in Japan want to own it, rather than just see it once on TV and move on to the next series. Shirobako is a loving, detailed, technically-accurate documentation of the anime industry in Japan, which is one of their modern national treasures. |

 |
| This show needs season 2!!!! |
| Mixed feeling on this one. Felt burnt out watching this already. Character and story are likable but it's too normal for my taste. I rather watch a documentary about animation studio than this if you are really interesting in making or learning the process of Anime. |

Helpme said: vodall said: Do you believe that a second season (or additional OVAs) are likely due to the success of Shirobako? It's been selling pretty amazingly, and hell, Girls und Panzer's getting a film, so I don't think it's completely out of the question. The problem is that PA Works just doesn't do sequels. They've never done one for any of their shows. I thought this too. But please let this be the first PA Works show with a sequel. Knowing that they had originally planned for four cours, it makes sense why we haven't had enough focus on Shizuka and Misa yet... |
| Yeah...they kinda hinted at a season season or ova/movie with "I have our next show lined up" and such. I won't get my hopes up too much though |
 |
| I think the director needs to be fired if he's throwing away guaranteed near 10K sales. But hey if the series he's doing bombs like glasslip they have to do season 2 to make up for it XD http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/07/09-1/pa-works-downplays-chances-of-second-shirobako-anime |
 |
| That's some bad news.. |
 |
| It seems less a matter of whether it'll happen, and more a matter of how long unit it CAN happen. |
| nah let it die, the anime ended great already |
| Ending was fine imo. Doesn't really need another season. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
Protaku said: Ending was fine imo. Doesn't really need another season. But admittedly, who doesn't want a second season. Even if its only 1 cour. |
| I really hope it doesen't. It was an amazing series, so why milk it until it goes to shit like they do with most series |
| I wanna see the 5 girl to move again and finish their anime. But the ending in episode 24 is very satisfying too |
| I want a small loan of a million episodes !! |

| https://mobile.twitter.com/pKjd/status/972054916511379456 Could it finally be happening?IIRC I remember Tsutomu Mizushima (the director) stated he wanted to or would like to make a second season but was too busy at the time with a bunch of other projects. |

Well damn, but i think it would be OVA or something, but S2 would be much appreciated. |
