Do you think there will be a second season?

It depends on two factors:
1) if they planned from the beginning to do a second season
Or
2) how popular the series is in Japan

@ajw215799 There's also the current state of the source material, studio availability and scheduling, and whether the producers/production committee even want to make another.


I think it really depends on a lot of factors, source material can easily be crossed off because it's got enough for more seasons, Studio Gokumi on the other hand isn't too large of a studio and may or may not have other projects getting scheduled for them to work on already. It won't nessicarily affect whether they decide to make another season but it definitely could delay it. The personal factor though definitely plays a part as I've seen plenty of shows that aren't that popular nor that well received get more seasons. People in control of the funding for a show could make it happen if they really want it regardless. Not only that but there's no way they don't do research to try and calculate how successful another season would be or how well received it would be.


But the most important one is how much money the show makes, even if a sequel isn't desired, if a show is a big hit in the sense that it's very successful financially then it'll get one. Money is always going to make nearly everything else irrelevant if there's enough of it, for major hits like Demon Slayer or JJK there's enough money being made from those shows that making a sequel isn't a decision, it's a requirement. For something like this, even if it's financially sucesssful it depends of how much. It doesn't just need to make more money than they spent making the show, it needs to make a LOT more than that to tip the scales significantly. If it doesn't it depends more on the personal factor and how well they predict making more will go.


There's too many factors that could be at play to know for sure but I think given the MAL reception alongside the choice of staff to work on this plus the "guesstimated" budget this show got for it's first season I'd say it's highly likely.

Edit: whoops, sorry man I meant' to send 2 different messages, and only reply to you with that bit at the top, while sending the bottom part as a different message. MAL interface is slightly confusing sometimes xD.

@MewsicMagic yes I am aware of how the anime studio system works

@ajw215799 Lol sorry I only mean't to reply to you with the very top part the rest was suppose to just be a message in this discussion. The MAL UI on a mobile web browser sucks and there's no way I'm gonna bother with their app.

I HOPE we need more fantasy anime that aren't just a power fantasy where there's nothing to it other than "super strong mc beats everyone and collects women" 😭

It's an interesting series, but the pacing is very very slow.

Monica's development seems to be going in a loop... where it looked as if she's progressing forward, they pull out the "Flashback card" over and over and revert her progression back. (IE: her father being killed for researching something, old friends, etc etc)

Her entire personality and situation haven't changed at all since episode 1... she haven't really done anything different for the entire season 1, lol.

If anything, most times it's just about Monica getting bullied... by jealous students, old friends and even friends she thought was friends...

.

So yea... in a way, this series felt like a slice-of-life 4koma style. Since Monica's adventure seems to jump around from school to outside of school, then back in school...

The way the pacing and storyline is done can make people lose interest. The main thing that's keeping people in is the "cute little girl that I want to protect" Monica.

.

If this series gets a second season, I can pretty much already see it'll most likely be doing the same thing as season 1.

Which means if a good amount of Japan viewers (since they're the only audience that matters if a series gets more season or not, other countries don't matter) finds the series storyline a bit boring, it might not get a second season, at most it might be 3-5 years later like most lesser popular series. (when the actual popular series gets their runs first)

the ending was very open, the pace is quite slow and story is told in a good way. idk if there are skipped things from source but doesn't seem like it is the case to me? i think there is a high chance it gets 2nd season, animation was great as well i dont think you throw good animation team on anime you wont continue. its the best rated anime from this studio i think they would be dumb to drop it. hopefully we hear about it soon.
