| So as most of you know, Stars Align was originally supposed to be a split cour 24 Episode series, but at the last second the production team was told they'd only get half of that, thus the story was only half done. The director has stated on his Twitter that he wants to make a continuation in some way. https://twitter.com/Akane2514af/status/1210245903849644032?s=19 Now while it seems bleak right now, there is a way everyone can contribute so we can hopefully see a Season 2 in the future. First, there is currently a cheer campaign going in right now. Basically you can fill out a form and tell the studio what you liked about the show, how it impacted you, and of course that there is demand for a continuation. All of this can be done in the link below https://cgi.tbs.co.jp/ppshw/pc/anime/hoshiai/6391/enquete.do If your not keen on filing that out then you can tweet to the official anime twitter and the show's channel's twitter as well. There in this tweet below https://twitter.com/OrionOfOhu/status/1210761762250752004?s=19 Next up is the big one, and this comes from Akane himself. Buying merchandise and/or Blu rays is the best way to show support. This is true for most anime out there and can be the deciding factor in whether or not an anime will continue. https://twitter.com/OrionOfOhu/status/1210761762250752004?s=19 There are a few places to get merch at. First is directly through studio 8bit's store. For this method however you'll need to use a middle man delivery service, ie From Japan, since these online stores don't ship to the US. There's also stores like Animate and Amazon Japan. There are a few items on Amazon Japan that will ship to the US, but note that shipping from there is expensive. There is also Amiami which has a selection of items that ship to the US directly. I'll post links to all of these sites below https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=%E6%98%9F%E5%90%88%E3%81%AE%E7%A9%BA&i=specialty-aps&srs=4513747051&_encoding=UTF8&imageClass=hi-res&phoneCarrier=wifi&phoneType=Android&rd=1&view=Touch9&ref=nb_sb_noss https://www.amiami.com/eng/search/list/?s_keywords=%E6%98%9F%E5%90%88%E3%81%AE%E7%A9%BA Also tweet on Twitter #星合の空 so the Japanese can see. I've also created #HelpStarsAlign to get the word out in English too. I'm also linking a full Twitter thread below here with more information about the campaign and how you can't help. Don't let this show end here, we have the power to give it the conclusion it so rightfully deserves https://twitter.com/OrionOfOhu/status/1210331248343826432?s=19 https://twitter.com/OrionOfOhu/status/1210761758068989955?s=19 https://x0401x.tumblr.com/post/189886582804/hoshiai-no-sora-official-campaign/amp?__twitter_impression=true |

| Wow, you put in quite the effort. I'll help out in at least one way you've mentioned in your post, though I have yet to decide which of the options I'll go with. After seeing episode 12 I actually went to MAL looking for the announcement of season 2. I thought it just had to be written already (judging from the way episode 12 ended), but that I had overlooked it. I really want to see how the story continues. It can't end the way it did, that doesn't make sense. |
| To complete the information given in this thread, you can also buy merch on CDJapan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/series/5547?s_ssid=e46c1f5e122df943b9 Also, here a post from one of the animators about how to help: https://zzamaamiro.tumblr.com/post/189895027738/alright-so-hes-actually-come-out-and-said-it |
| Also Stars Align was just nominated for best drama in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards! I know it's probably not much but the CR awards have gotten big enough lately that some people in japan actually do pay attention so maybe if we vote enough for it to win it'll do at least something to help convince them that we support the show enough to want a second season ^_^ Vote Here: https://www.crunchyroll.com/animeawards/en/vote/index.html |

| At long last a sports anime I can get behind. An anime where its not the sport that takes center stage, this anime is a treasure. The poster looked bOOOOring, I'm so happy I didn't skip on this series because of it. As I watched it I thought to myself: Similar to "Honzuki no Gekokujou Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen" which is an isekai with a fresh feel to it, and I rated it a stable 6/10. I figured this series will just be a sports anime with a fresh feel as well, but I was not just pleasently surprised, but blown away by how good this was. |
