Through an anime comment forum, fans gathered to discuss those anime that, at the end of their last episode, promised a sequel, but, unfortunately, that sequel never arrived.
- Fans underestimated these animes but ended up enjoying them
- Ai Hayasaka from the anime Kaguya-sama was brought to life with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The debate has been gaining momentum among fans, who express their frustration and disappointment with these unfulfilled promises. Some argue that these series left unresolved plotlines and characters in uncertain situations, generating a sense of dissatisfaction among audiences.
So, amid the controversy, various opinions have emerged about the possible reasons behind these sequel cancellations. Some speculate that financial problems or internal disputes within the animation studios may have hindered the production of new seasons. Others suggest that lack of interest or poor performance may have led to the decision not to continue the story.
However, despite speculation and theories, uncertainty persists regarding the fate of these promised series. While some fans remain hopeful for a continuation, others resign their expectations and simply lament the fate of these unfinished stories.
“A very good example that comes to mind is Aku no Hana , whose last episode devoted a considerable amount of time showing a bunch of short clips of scenes that would have been in a hypothetical second season, however, the series ended up receiving very mixed reviews and flopped in terms of Blu-ray sales, so it never got a second season.”
Check out the comments:
- “Rokka no Yuusha, although I am aware of the light novel situation.”
- “Obviously, I have to mention Noragami, that open ending was supposed to have a third season.”
- “Hoshiai no Sora, gosh, not having a sequel really still hurts to this day.”
- The fact that Hoshiai no Sora was supposed to be a two-part anime but was cut down to one at the last second, with most of the first episode already released, and that they told the studio to end it where it was, with no time to try to come up with a new ending, is insane. The director said he would make sure it got its ending, and it never did, which I can't blame them for.
- “Deadman Wonderland, what the hell happened to the rest of the story?”
- “Wonder Egg Priority tried to promise a second season, but anyone who has paid attention to the story knows that will never happen.”
- “Maybe Drifters?”
- “Land of the Lustrous ended practically on a cliffhanger, and knowing what happens after reading the manga, I really need that second season.”
- "I don't know if this counts, but the second season of Youjo Senki was confirmed years ago, after the movie was released. Since then, it's disappeared without any new information about its cancellation or otherwise being given."
Other fans continued to remember anime that announced a sequel:
- “ Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun really promised a sequel. It's a shame it never will happen, since a second season would cover the rest of the manga.”
- "Btooom! is a great example of this. Not only did they end the series with a sequel ending and flop in the domestic market, but the manga creator tried to use milestones for a mobile game to entice fans to participate. But the game never reached its lofty goals, which led to the servers being shut down just a few months after the big launch."
- “Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry”.
- “Akatsuki no Yona”.
- “Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, I miss this series every day.”
- “No Game No Life is probably the perfect example of a promised sequel that never materialized.”
- “Zombieland Saga movie, no news for years.”
- “Gangsta, that anime was so good.”
- "Watamote. Even in the OVA, they mention things about a second season that never arrived."
- “Cautious Hero, there was a promise of a second season in the last episode, but it never happened.”
- “Sankarea, I think.”
- “And Yuri!!! on ICE is the perfect example.”
- "Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san. If I'm not mistaken, they teased a second season in the final episode, but it never actually happened."
