I just finished S1, I'm overwhelmed right now. Old fans, do you have any info regarding S2? Or this series has been abandoned by the studio. Can't describe my feelings right now, it's one of the best thing I've watched in recent time. Need the next season ASAP.

It's A1 Pictures, you can never tell. Kaguya is getting the same treatment rn. They're busy doing new shows these days, so we'd be lucky to get an announcement.

It's only been 2.5 years. It's still possible to get a second season. Maybe it'll get announced next year. At least I expect that on Anime Expo

I don't see why they would start producing a season 2 out of the blue now that the LN comes to it's climax.

Better wish for them to adapt 86 Operation High School

Definitely nothing 2025, but 2026 onwards could be possible depending on how many other shows A-1 does at that point in time.
Sometimes you see the most random and unknown anime getting new seasons so it's not completely dependant on popularity and profit i guess which would be good for 86 since it's not the money maker.

When '86 came out, it made a pretty good profit from the figures, the headphones they sold, and the anime itself. The figures of the anime characters and the headphones made specifically for the series are still on sale.

that's actually great, didn't know that. But I still think it has less priority compared to Solo Leveling, Kaguya, Mashle or even Fate /Strange Fake

Don't wait for season 2 right now. This may be because A-1 Pictures makes different anime and also because 86 is such a little known anime. So more than 2 years have passed but there is still no development about s2. Instead, continue from volume 4 of the light novel. You can even start reading from the first volume as some parts were not adapted in volume 1.

You’d have to look at how much money it made in Japan and how popular it is there because studios aren’t known for being kind to overseas fans.

A1 Pictures are not the ones deciding if the LN gets a anime sequel.

Dengeki Bunko (Kadokawa) are the ones making the decisions.

Dengeki Bunko titles get sequels but very rare. Most their anime are ‘shut up and buy the LNs’~

I never really expect any anime to follow through with a finish and in all instances reading the book would be better then waiting a decade to find out maybe longer lol

according to websites it made good enough money to fund another season and is still becoming increasingly popular

I doubt it will get a second season.

First season (ep 1 - 11) is book 1. season 2 (12-23) are books 2 and 3.

book 4 is a giant battle sequence which would likely be 4-6 episodes. Similar to how they adapted book 3. The 5th book goes heavy into the high concept Sci fi a different setting, tone and vibe and needs its own season.

I'm pretty sure Aniplex is the top producer and the one who actually owns the right to the anime.

A-1 pictures has different team for different projects. A studio is just a banner for the projects. Kagua is not getting a sequel anytime soon. The team that worked on Kaguya is now doing Makeine which is supposed to receive a s2.

You don't want to know the shit going behind the scenes for Strange Fake. It's complete chaos.

You're wrong there too. Kadokawa wasn't the producer for 86 anime. It's a parent company of A-1 and CloverWorks named ANIPLEX

My point is that they're working on acquiring new IP, so several older shows have taken a back seat. I never said the same team is working on 86 and Kaguya.

The problem is A-1. As big as they are they have too many more profitable projects that have been plagued with delays. IE Fate/ Strange Fake and Nier. Plus Solo Leveling has been given priority over other projects occasionally new SAO will get mentioned. I wish Bandai/Sunrise would take it over since they are invested in it with model kits and the production of the anime. Plus with no new Gundam series or AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline to speak of it just makes sense.

Yes, of course, it's not as successful as them, but they got back all the money they spent on the anime and continue to do so (thanks to new figures and re-released headphones).

The only info i do have is that 86's production line (team inside of a-1 pictures) is the same as Nier automata's. Now that Nier automata's release and production has wrapped up (it was supposed to be a split cour from the start) there is a gap for a different project. which could ofcourse be 86 but there are plenty of other things it could be too so don't get your hopes up too much, it's just a possibility now that the staff for it is available

Ditto. I’m a Full Metal Panic/Fumoffu fanboy. Saw the series for the first time in 2004 on a Time Warner Cable “TV On-Demand” channel. The series came out in 2003-2004 and the remake was made in 2018 and came to Crunchy Roll in 2020. So nothing is off the table if they could bring that back.

I will when it's absolutely confirmed that there will be no more season after this. But for now I'm not into LN. I enjoy watching anime.

i dont think it was abandoned
simply the team that worked on it went straight to work on Nier Automata
Nier is now over unless they pick something else similar to it like that goddess of victory mobile game
there is a high chance it happens
https://x.com/Crunchyroll/status/1852470681620922782?t=-lSKJewC7lVWhxNe6PDb9w&s=19
this could be anything but the wording is very interesting like (keep S1 fresh because S2 is coming)
