After the broadcast of the 21st episode of Lerche's Radiant, it was announced that a second season, which will also have a duration of 21 episodes, is planned to air this fall.

Radiant is based on the French comic by Tony Valente. The series has been publishing since 2013, and the 11th volume shipped in France this month. Japanese publisher Asukashinsha will release the tenth volume next month. The first anime season, with direction by Seiji Kishi (Angel Beats!), began airing in Fall 2018 and was simulcast by Crunchyroll.

Not surprise given the publisher, also people rely on sales and whatnot when... no that isn't always the case for an adaptation of something?

I need to catch up to Radiant of course so, we'll have to see.

Wow, I'm pretty excited about this. I'm not a huge fan of shonen/action anime, but the art style and characters in Radiant are wonderful imo. I didn't think that they would be able to wrap up the story in 3 or 4 more episodes, so I was definitely hoping for another season to go more in depth with the story. That's awesome

In a sense, it's surprising that this got a seuel shortly after S1. I mean... scores aside, it is a lackluster series, to say the least.

Though, outta nowhere, the manga already got licensed and is to be released here in Brazil, so it might not be that surprising, after all.

Japan doesn't give a fuck about MAL scores lol, it's a kid friendly show (the manga is more mature) and obviously sells well for season 2, that's all.

Did you watch it or you dropped it at early episodes ?!

It gets way better after episode 15

After episode 10*, we have many fillers in the first 10.

The manga is better, and without the anime fillers ofc. If you like battle shonen give it a try

This garbage actually sells enough to get second season? No wonder we can't have nice things.

With or without fillers, the show is your typical shounen, at least in the anime. I watched the entire first season.

I haven't even watched the first season, but I saw a little bit of the first episode. Nothing new. Skip!

Eehhh. It gets really good at the main arc but the ending of the season is ok. Knowing the plot from the manga, the story is actually a bit unique.

all the gintama fans say "it gets better around ep100" or sth, but idk lol

yeah but those first 100 ep of gintama are probably better then everything of radiant

Did you just exclude the context that peope may force themselves to watch the first 100 episodes of gintama by saying gintama possibly be better? It took me about 8 years to finish the first season of Gintama and it sometimes was so painful it physically hurt me. Radiant was a treat in comparison.

After the initial anime announcement I never expected this show would get more than one cour, but since it turned out that NHK is the main financier of this project, it's not surprising that the anime even gets a continuation.

No one asked for this, why.

Just go read the manga, it's so much better.This adaptation, imo, was a disappointment.
