Will SK8 have 2 season?

100% not, I contacted Bones

There wasn't much of a cliffhanger, it was a solidly wrapped up ending. However, I think it may due to the amount of hate it may get in the future. I remember seeing multiple videos on how the fact that Langa is canonically gay and has a crush on Reki changes things. If they didn't kiss or get together, it would come across as invalidating towards the LGBTQ+ community like "even though he's gay, he won't get to express that and will just have to settle for a friendship."
I don't really know, I'm definitely disappointed that they didn't get together, but I'm not outraged. I'm kind of used to the lack of LGBTQ+ representation in anime at this point, including representation that falls through and isn't really representation (characters called slurs, LGBTQ+ characters can't be together, die, etc.)

So we probably won't get a second season, but I won't complain if we do.

If most bad animes somehow get a second season, then SK8 will 50/50 get a second season depending on the material season 1 has covered.

What do you mean “material covered”? Sk8 isn’t based on a manga. It’s an original anime series. If it has good Blue Rat sales, then the probability of it having a season 2 rises. Or maybe some other statistic is take in, because I don’t know how to judge if a show is widely popular or not for an original anime series. For an adaption, look at the manga sales.

I’m quite disappointed too, however, I believe that if Reki and Langa were to become a couple, many sk8 fans would drop the anime unfortunately :c There have been a handful of anime that represent LGBTQ+ couples in the past, even subtly such was seen in the popular “Yuri!! On ice” and “No.6” for example but as far as sk8 the infinity goes, I think most viewers watch the anime for skateboarding and therefore, adding a relationship would drop viewers.

Though, in retrospect it may cause more people to watch this anime due to having an element of boy love. Overall, like you, I’m quite dissatisfied with the un-canonical bond between them but I’m fine with them being seen as good friends too. If this anime were to be continued in either a movie or another season, some more scenes with Reki and Langa would be great! I feel like the whole side story of Adam getting a search warrant or something against him was a bit washed over, but aside from that I would really love a second season in the future - canon Renga or not!

Exactly how I felt at the end when he crossed the finish line, I 100% felt a Yuri on Ice moment about to happen

I 100% agree with you :)

thats the stupidest thing i ve heard

denby_alyssa said:


I’m glad! ^^ Also I love your Hifumi profile picture, he’s my second favourite from Hypmic ♡

kxlluaz said:


Ahhhh thank you! Yes Hifumi is great and it's really cool to see another HypMic fan :D I remember hearing the songs and quickly found the manga translated on tumblr. The anime was pretty good too, but I need to catch up on the manga again.

denby_alyssa said:


No problem! I’ve hardly seen any other fans either actually xD All the songs are so great, I’m reading the manga on tumblr too! But I’ve only read the T.D.D volumes so far, I need to read the rest soon ( TwT) I watched the anime whilst I only heard of Hypnosis mic a little through their songs and I fell in love with it, it’s such a great franchise! I’d totally buy the Ramuda figure that came out too, but £200 is a lot xD

Seiya said:


So, what exactly are these "Blue Rat sales?"

I tried googling it, but I can't figure out what it is. :P

Am I the only one that ep.13 coming out?? In a site I watched it says ep.13 14 minutes from now,but here it says it only has 12/12

kxlluaz said:


Same honestly lol
The whole jumping-into-the-others arms thing was cute and looked just like the YoI one. Some people say that they kissed there, but I have to disagree as you could definitely see Langa's head go to the side of Reki's and not directly connect like Yuuri and Victor

a part of me thinks there will be a second season since they're making a manga for it and it's kind of impractical if they're making a manga for a show that's already over, you know? it's still cool to be able to own a physical book copy of sk8 tho :)
