When No Game No Life came around in 2014, there was an instant buzz about how creative the show was and viewers of season 1 were expecting season 2 to come out soon.
Well, it’s been five years now since season 1 and we haven’t really heard anything about the show, barring the movie that came out in 2017. So can we expect season 2 anytime soon? Here’s everything we know so far.
What is No Game No Life About?
Adapted from the light novel of the same name No Game No Life adapted volumes 1-3 for the first season. It revolves around the brother and sister duo, Shiro and Sora, who live off their life playing games and both of them really excel in gaming.
They get an opportunity, wherein return of winning the game, they can live in a world of gamers. In this world, every decision is based on games. The duo goes on an adventure playing games and puts their lives on the line when playing the game. Hence the title of the show ‘No game No Life’.
No Game No Life Movie:
The movie No Game No Life: Zero serves as a prequel to the first season. This movie was released on July 15, 2017, and was adapted from book 6 of the light novel series. The movie collected around 6.5 million dollars from the box office. Another 40,000 Blu-Ray copies were also sold in Japan.
Will there be a second season?
There hasn’t been any news about season 2. We have heard a lot of rumors about the plagiarism issues with the content, the author being unwell and what not. There is enough source material to continue with the anime.
We are hearing that anime studios are busy these days, and that includes studio Madhouse, the studio behind the show. If the second season was confirmed after the success of the movie, it would take at least a few years to finalize everything. With both season 1 and the movie performing well, there’s a pretty high chance that there will be season 2 of the show, but the only question remaining is ‘when’.
