Studio Trigger is famous for not producing sequels. Even its most popular anime never got a chance to return to the screens. Hence, fans are now scared for the future of Kiznaiver Season 2. The action sci-fi anime series came out back in 2016 and won millions of hearts internationally. Is there any hope for a second season? Can fans save it from cancelation? Here’s everything you need to know about it.
Kiznaiver is a popular 2016 anime series produced by Studio Trigger, Aniplex, and Crunchyroll. The episode director of Trigger’s successful show Kill la Kill, Hiroshi Kobayashi, made his directorial debut with Kiznaiver. The story of the anime is based in a futuristic town created by the Japanese government to test a large-scale experiment. Hence, they select six young kids and bind them together as Kiznaivers, to test the Kizna System enabling them to share their pain and suffering.
Kiznaiver Storyline
Kiznaiver is an anime set in a futuristic metropolis called Sugomori City, which is located in Japan’s interior. Crunchyroll, Studio Trigger, and Aniplex collaborated on the anime. It’s a visual stunner and one of my all-time favorites. Kiznaiver refers to the novel and anime series, which follow Katsuhira Agata and the Kiznaivers.
As a result, it’s called Kiznaiver. The Kiznaivers are a collection of individuals living in the mystical future metropolis of Sugomori. These people are inextricably linked to one another in a supernatural way in which they can communicate with one another about their anguish and suffering. They’re linked to one another as a system, the Kizna system.
The city’s establishment was designed by the town’s supposed architects. The idea that any individual, regardless of their gender or status, can bring about world peace by sharing their own agony and suffering has gained popularity among certain people. To be honest, it’s rather communist of the makers.
Fans adore the anime for its stunning visuals, and we’ve already discussed that it’s a visual masterpiece. The series has received praise from both critics and fans for its production and editing. In the United States, it first aired on Channel Tokyo MX in Japan before being released in other countries. Crunchyroll is the anime’s official licensor in the United States.
In the United Kingdom, Anime Limited has anime rights. The performance has been directed by Hiroshi Kobayashi, and it is full of some of the greatest art directions we have ever seen. To be honest, it’s one of the greatest sci-fi anime of 2016. Despite the fact that the anime met or exceeded all of our expectations, some individuals have questioned whether it is real. Many fans felt that the anime did not live up to Studio Trigger’s prior work.
Criticism for Kiznaiver
While we certainly disagree with it, we do concur that the anime may benefit from some constructive criticism. A varied cast, such as the one in All Hail Megamind, would be an example. That is a strong point against the anime, as we are not seeking a Game of Thrones-like cast when all the anime will only last one season, and the company will leave us hanging without another.
It doesn’t make sense when the workplace is a job hopper, or an anime hopper, in this case. There’s no sense in having such a large ensemble. The cast’s criticism is backed up by the fact that the anime can be too fast at times. The anime, on the other hand, is a clear winner in every area.
Kiznaiver Season 2 Is Renewed Or Canceled?
Like all its popular shows, Trigger has left all Kiznaiver fans hanging with only the first season. Even though they haven’t canceled the anime, the studio currently has no plans to continue the story. For over four years now, the demands for a second installment are only increasing. However, as per the looks chances for the anime’s return are relatively low.
One of the main reasons why we might not get to watch Kiznaiver Season 2 is the performance of its predecessor. The first season was a commercial failure for its producers. Its viewership was lower than what creators expected, whereas the DVD/Blu-Ray sales were also embarrassing. Even though it sold well internationally, the anime couldn’t do much business in Japan. Hence, while popular Trigger shows like Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia are yet to get sequels, the studio might not pick up Kiznaiver again anytime soon.
Kiznaiver Season 2 Release Date
There is a silver lining to every cloud. The silver lining to this disaster is that the program has not yet been officially canceled. That is a modest sum, but it’s something. At least the show’s producers have not given up on it completely. Perhaps this is fantastic news for fans of the program. However, a canceled show does not necessarily indicate that it has been renewed. That is, again, something we want to stress over and over. Studio Trigger’s producers seem to dislike renewing their shows, so it is what it is.
Everything was taken together, even if the program were renewed today, which we would again want to emphasize is not happening, the best scenario remaining open to us is a 2023 debut. Given the 18-month production cycle for most anime these days owing to the pandemic, however, However, this is only the best-case scenario. The company has previously announced several other anime in the works. So we wagered that they would receive the first pick. By any means, Kiznaiver season 2’s best-case scenario is in 2023. The most likely scenario for the series is to remain in Limbo. That’s where the majority of the Anime hoppers’ screenings take place.
The show’s best-case projection is mid-2023. The greatest scenario for the program is in mid-2023. Don’t anticipate anything until then.
