I'm glad Kimetsu no Yaiba is getting a sequel but I would prefer a second season. For a battle Shounen it's pretty good

AoA sequel film means we won’t even get it at SLA if Bunny Girl is anything to follow or Zoku Owarimonogatari

Felt Seasons 2 & 3 wasn't enough? Naofumi & co. will be joining Kazuma, Ainz, Tanya and Subaru in Isekai Quartet Season 2.

Surely it should be called Isekai Quintet now.

How? They've pretty much removed the main story from the first series.

Well the purpose is to sell the books so if you have to read the book to understand the Committee is happy.

It must be shifting a lot of books to get a S2 after that train-wreck of an adaption... I guess it has been popular as well by virtue of being terrible, so thats probably helped.

Considering how quickly it was announced it may have already been too far into production to cancel it.

It hasn't been given an estimated season to air in yet, so it could easily be like Konosuba where it did so well they rushed to green-lit it.

Well one of the biggest problems with the anime adaptation was that they basically started from scratch after how badly handled the character designs were, so hopefully now that they have a second season greenlit they can amend some of the mistakes that were in the first season. The biggest issue was the overuse of CG which was unpolished and the adaptation rushing or cutting tons of content that should have been kept in.

It's a weird experience because if you went into Arifureta without reading the source material you might find better enjoyment than those like myself who had already read and knows what happens. I still didn't mind the anime in the end, but I just wish that they had put in proper effort in what should have been one of the biggest shows of the Summer season (it was also literally one of the most anticipated adaptations in recent years).

Netflix has announced a new anime project by director Masaaki Yuasa and studio Science SARU called Japan Sinks:2020, based on Sakyo Komatsu's 1973 novel Japan Sinks. It will be available worldwide in 2020.

 

[Azar]

3 new Yuasa projects to look forward to now (4 including Ride Your Wave) Good times.

 

[thedoctor2016]

If only Netflix would release Crybaby on Blu ray outside of Japan. (Yes i know they are subbed so are an option if I can ever afford it)
