Through an anime comment forum, fans gathered to discuss those animes that, at the end of their last episode, promised a continuation, but, unfortunately, that continuation never arrived.
- Fans underestimated these animes but ended up enjoying them
- Ai Hayasaka from the anime Kaguya-Sama came to life with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The debate has gained strength among fans, who express their frustration and disappointment with these unfulfilled promises. Some argue that these series left plots unresolved and characters in uncertain situations, which created a feeling of dissatisfaction among the public.
Therefore, in the midst of the controversy, different opinions emerged about possible reasons behind these sequel cancellations. Some speculate that financial problems or internal disputes within the animation studios may have hampered 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 about the fate of these promised series. While some fans maintain hope 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 lot of short clips of scenes that would be 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, heavens, not having a sequel really still hurts to this day.”
- “The fact that Hoshiai no Sora was supposed to be a two-part anime that was cut down to just one at the last second, with most of the first episode having already been released, and that the studio was told to end it where it was, without time to try to give a new ending is madness. The director said he would make sure it had 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 be possible.”
- “Maybe Drifters?”
- “Land of the Lustrous practically ended with 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 film was released. Since then, it has disappeared without any new information about its cancellation or not having been given.”
Other fans continued to remember animes that announced continuations:
- “ Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun really promised a sequel. A shame it will never happen, as a second season would cover the rest of the manga.”
- “Btooom! is a great example of that. Not only did they end the series with a sequel ending and failure 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 achieved its lofty goals, which led to the servers shutting 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 didn’t materialize.”
- “Zombieland Saga movie, no news for years.”
- “Gangsta, that anime was too 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 showed things from a second season in the final episode, but it never actually happened.”
