There is a very high possibility for s2 if the studio (Ajia-do) is finished in Ascendance of a Bookworm s3.What do you guys think?

I wish, but this anime doesn't end up getting much attention at all , so it'd be quite unlikely.

I don't think so. There's other titles awaiting and well-know franchises.

This entire season felt like a prologue so we really need a sequel. Who do we @ on social media?

I think this show has potential, eventhough it didn't get much attention worldwide. But in japan this show is kinda popular. I hope there will be ss2 till kabene can meet his parents

After Akira's arc, the succeeding arcs of the manga are even more interesting. It would be really cool to see it animated

I really hope there will be a second season soon.
I mean there are so many good scenes and characters that have to be animated.
My personal favourite arcs, Shikoku and the Nobimaru mission arc are so good, seriously, read the manga. You won’t regret it.

I really REALLY hope we get a season 2 cause this anime ended up being so amazing and I want to see more of these awesome characters (even though Shiki and Akira won't be in the next arc much I assume?).

depends on sales honestly. This is probably one of Aija-do's best series, so hopefully it gets more after Bookworm season 3, just swap between the two, that sounds nice

I hope so. The original premise was finding Kabane's parents and we didn't even do that. So I think it has to happen.

@MagicPolly @Xayahnatix1 @squishymomo

Manga sales did well almost tying with world trigger which got a 3rd season announcement, also do not expect instant anime announcements from manga series that are monthly unless they have lots of unadapted chapters like world trigger, it's safe to say that the anime will get a 2nd season seeing that it will have around 1.5-2mill sales by November.

Oh nice, thank you for the update. I didn't expect the manga sales to go up that much. Hopefully that means a second season is on its way in the next year or two!

I really hope it can get a season 2. It felt like it ended just as it was getting to the good part and so much is left unanswered.

i agree with the opinion of the whole s1 being a prologue. it rly didn't get much into the story of mc and the others' problems were solved pretty quickly, at least in our perspective. don't know if i would watch s2 if they made one

This should be have a sequel maybe two three years later

by looking at Ajia-Do's history with adaptations I don't think it's that kind of studio that drop or incomplete its adaptations, Zorori and Honzuki are good examples of how the studio is really serious about adapting -especially if the anime has a fanbase in japan-

I just watched it….and now I want more! It’s clearly set up for a sequel season or movie. Maybe now that Crunchyroll has it, it will get the attention it needs!

Lol, here's my analysis on whether or not I think we'll get a second season, and if so, when we might possibly get one.

To begin, the studio's other anime series, Ascendance of a Bookworm, first premiered Oct - Dec 2019, its second season premiered April - June 2020, and its third season premiered April 2022. Basically there was a 4-month gap and then a 22-month gap between releases (with the latter gap probably being influenced by the pandemic).

In between the release of this anime's first and second season, 1 movie, 1 OVA, and 2 tv shows aired. In between the release of this anime's second and third season, 1 movie, 1 OVA, and 3 tv shows aired. This may or may not be a pattern and perhaps just a coincidence, but for reference, since Kemono Jihen season 1 has released, 1 movie, 1 OVA, and 3 TV series have aired.

Meanwhile, regarding their other anime series, Motto!, it's third season premiered April 2020 (with help from Bandai Namco Pictures) and its fourth season premiered April - Oct 2021. About a one year gap.

Also, this studio animated the first season of How Not to Summon a Demon Lord (July - Sept 2018), which I believe is more popular than those other anime above, anyway, it got a 2nd season (though animated by a different studio), which aired April - June 2021...so that's a 31-month gap.

However, keep in mind, their only recent anime that did not get an announced sequel so far is Kakushigoto, which debuted April - June 2020. I am unaware if this is due to lack of manga sales or otherwise, but would appreciate if someone could let us know a possible reason!

Moving on, it's important to note that the Kemono Jihen's manga sales seem to be fairly successful based on it remaining in the top 20 sales per month for at least 3 months in early 2021. And for this studio, the Kemono Jihen anime has the 2nd highest MAL members, so relative to their other anime productions, I suspect it's very popular.

Also, we know that the Kemono Jihen anime, which ran from January - March 2021, was based on the first 21 chapters. Currently, there are about 64 chapters available, so there is definitely enough source material.

Therefore, based on the fact that...
(1) The history of most of the studio's recent (and lesser popular) anime adaptations getting sequel seasons
(2) Kemono Jihen seems commercially successful and relatively popular for the studio
(3) There is enough source material for a whole new season
(4) There are no current anime production plans beyond June 2022
(5) The studio's pattern of releasing a sequel season after 1 movie, 1 OVA, and 2-3 TV shows since the initial season
I would conclude that it is likely that we will get a second season of Kemono Jihen, and soon at that.

As for when it will become available...after briefly looking at some of the studio's production's history, anime projects seem to be announced 4 - 12 months before premiering, and assuming the studio follows their recent release pattern, I would like to optimistically think that season 2 will premiere in Oct 2022 or Jan 2023. If it is announced later than those two predictions, perhaps that's because it is more profitable for these companies to wait for a hefty number of volumes to release first, to increase manga purchases? Or perhaps there are production delays due to other reasons...

Nah, the 1st season was utterly garbage.
