Will there be Eromanga Sensei Season 2?
There are over 11 volumes of the manga for Eromanga Sensei; thus, there is enough source for the anime to have a Season 2, but sadly, it seems unlikely there will be any Season 2. Eromanga Sensei Season 1 had in the spring of 2017 sold over 9353 DVDs, and to top it all off, they sold a cumulative total of 1.6 million copies of the manga and had reprinted all the volumes again.
The anime surely received loads of love and recognition from the Otaku community, which really does point to the direction of a Season 2. Still, then again, we can all hope the producers take the initiative and work on a Season 2 soon.
When will Eromanga Season 2 be released?
According to the information and trending stories circulating in the Otaku community, it seems unlikely that we will be receiving a Season 2 for the anime any time soon.
A-1 pictures have started production for Eromanga sensei Season 2 but it seems to be on hold due to Covid-19. Season 2 was scheduled to be released at the end of 2020, but the global pandemic has further moved the release date, and we are still waiting for the producers to tell when we can expect the anime.
What can we expect in Season 2 of Eromanga Sensei?
The anime did not end in a cliffhanger which is a relief since if it did, we would all be begging the producers to release a new date for the anime. The anime had no real direction and was solely created for fans to break from their stressful lives and enjoy an anime. Aniplex and A-1 pictures did announce a date for its Season 2; back in 2019, the anime was supposed to be released at the end of 2020, but the global pandemic further shifted the anime release date, and we are waiting for the producers to tell the date for its release.
We can expect a different twist in Season 2 as the two siblings got a new competitor in the manga industry whose giving them a run for their money. They both need to work together to beat their new competitor at their own game.
