| If it's anything like the first show (art style, fight scenes, story, intensity, etc...) this show is going to be AMAZING! I can't wait! |
| I almost thought it was a parody till I checked the info. Let's hope you're right heh |
| Hell yeah! Me too! |
| If it isn't like the original, then they should just give it a whole different title... |
| @Crossburn It looks like the book publisher hoped to cash on the name by having one of its authors writing a "sequel" to one of its big titles after the novelist passed away. So, you can expect either something too identical (because the successor wasn't able to make the fiction his own) or something with a totally different flavour who will have you wonder why it was made (because the successor wasn't able to enter in another person's story). I wonder why they didn't simply choose to adapt one of the other ninja novels of the same author (I think he had at least one other title in relation with the Kôga's Ninja Scrolls) |
| I'm honestly surprised, I saw Koga Ninja Scrolls some months ago and I loved it. I don't really know what to expect from a sequel, but it'll be interesting to see if the war from the previous anime between the Koga and Iga Clans had any repercussion and if so, to what extent. |
| Loved the first show, cautiously hyped for this. If the material is by the same author of the original books, that makes me more confident this'll be good. I do hope the cast isn't a bunch of pre-teens though (as the poster seems to indicate). |
| Set 10 years after the first one? Why do the characters from the poster look exactly the same as the 2 MCs (as kids) from the original? For matter fact, why do we need a continuation for Basilisk to begin with? Anyhow, I have close to zero expectations for this “sequel” mainly because it wasn’t written by Fuutarou Yamada, not to mention I don’t see the need for it. Instead we got some other author (whose job primary had consisted in being a character designer and animator) writing it. They should have adapted another of Fuutarou Yamada's works instead of making a sequel of this, imo. |

| i hope its not as heartbreaking as the last one lmao. but the story kinda just ended with last season tho? Theres no more relatives |
| Xtina is my mother! |
| That official art is worrying.... for a number of reasons. It's hideously amateur, 1. 2. It features all the characters from the first. 10 years after. They're dead. That was the whole anime.

Those books are from the 50s, and I know there's a sequel to it. None of the same characters, obviously, but it's a continuation of the hierarchy after they pitted the Iga and Kouga against one another. |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| Hopefully not, the first one basically sucked. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Now I want to re-re-re-watch the first series again xD |
joe_g7 said: Hopefully not, the first one basically sucked. Then why are you here? |
| Because I'm hoping the second one will be better. Any other idiotic questions you'd like me to answer? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I'm afraid, Basilisk don't need a new season. It is sufficient in itself... joe_g7 said: Balince said: Because I'm hoping the second one will be better. Any other idiotic questions you'd like me to answer? Then why are you here? You're naive. :/ |
| Totally and utterly unexpected that this would get a sequel. I hope it's as good and entertaining as the original. People that come in and use their time just to bash the original just have shit taste. Just look at their faves LOLOL. |

| I hadn't seen this coming. I hope it'll be good, but I also have some mixed feelings because the story of Basilisk felt finished. With everyone being dead and all... Then again, these *are* new characters, even if the mains look like carbon copies of Oboro and Genosuke. |

| Can't wait for this. I fucking love the first series. Yep all the characters from the first are dead but so what? I don't mind a new story with all new characters as long as it's more of what made the first Basilisk great. When I finished watching Basilisk I was so disappointed to find there wasn't any more of it. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| I'm new at this series, watched the first season a few weeks ago to see if I would liked it or not and I did enjoyed it, but it kinda surprised me that the ending is closed, no strings left for a sequel IMO. So yeah, I'm looking forward to this, even if it has censorship. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| lmao the first one was wack as hell, even though it had all the ingredients to be an amazing series. What could possibly happen in the sequel? Everybody is dead! |
| Hard to live up to perfection. Keeping expectations low. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| huh what even is this? I will definitely check it out, the original basilisk was pretty good. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Maybe they fight again to choose another shogunate successor, with the last survivor from the first season being a mentor [Edited: Ooops my bad. It's been almost a decade since I watched it so couldn't remember the ending well until I checked it again.]. But the original series ended pretty neatly, so meh. |

| I loved the first anime but I will keep my expectations low for this one. Different staff, based on different manga by different author etc. I also don't understand why the MC's look like the previous ones... |
| Its been so long since Ive seen the original. I remember the animation and battles were highly grotesque; but the story was rather lackluster. Being over 10 years removed from the original, with a different studio and staff, I have no clue what to even expect here. This is another one of those reboot/sequels that no one was expecting; the original never really had a fanbase either. And the fact that the new characters are the kids of original couples; but this season is only set "10 years after" the first season... Meaning the new characters are only 9-10 years old?... Basilisk is supposed to be for a rather mature audience, so thats a little worrying. |

| Should I watch first Basilisk: Kouga Ninpouchou before this new adaption? |

This takes place 10 years after the original so yes watch it first as that is what i am in the process of doing myself. Originally i wanted to watch it back in Oct but i got sidetracked by others and forgot but now i am focusing on it cause of the sequel. |

| I don't know if it's worth watching. I loved the original, for the tragic love story between the two leaders of both clans. And everyone was pretty much dead at the end. |
