xsilicon9 said: Can they even make another season? The manga is on hiatus. Judging from how far the manga was (Mall and beyond), they could easily squeeze another 11 or 12 episodes out of it in my opinion. But this time they should probably forget the manga at some point and make a ending. |

| So after browsing what I could find (some of this might be old news), Daisuke Sato got heart disease but he's well and returned to normal health. However, while he was still in the hospital recovering, he didn't expect the series to spike in popularity so much. I believe I read somewhere that Sato already did some drafting for where the story will continue and go, to see if the manga was still popular, and finally to let fans know that they haven't forgotten about it. Another thing to note is, the popularity of zombies aren't as demanding in Japan compared to North America and while the manga is supposedly still coming, it seems to be on hiatus still. The next chapters of H.O.T.D. are VERY crucial on deciding if the series will end or continue when they go on sale. Basically, if North American H.O.T.D. fans don't buy digital copies, they'll take it as a sign of losing interest and the series will end prematurely... so don't be upset if that does happen. It'll be the fault of those not supporting the creators. I held off from the series a few years back until finally finishing it now but I personally feel that it has potential for a second round (the last episode made me go: Is that it? More please) but no idea on how soon and depending on how slow or busy Sato has been with his other projects. |
| We are waiting you HOTD season 2...and obviously the manga too |
| My only guess is that if they were to continue the anime they'll have to get a new director and God knows how that would turn out. I highly doubt Araki would be available if he's committed to Shingeki no Kyojin (and let's face it, it's in his best interests to choose SnK over this series). BTW I'd rather have HXH come back from hiatus X'D |
 |
| I can't believe it. 4 years without any progress or development of the series season 2? The season 1 pretty much leave me hanging. By this point, I don't care if they want to do an original animation or anything, I just want to see the characters back. The OVA said until next time, but when is it??? |
 |
| Don't really think it is going to happen anytime soon, though I would really like it, its been quite a long time |
| Traige X, Kohta cameo XD Maybe Xebec will pick up HOTD? |

Aries said: Its never a good sign to go on hiatus Nope, only manga series I can think of where the author did come back in a reasonable amount of time was Deadmans Wonderland, but by that time they already fucked up the anime to a point where a second season wouldn't even be possible. Would have to redo the entire thing |
| So theres really no season 2.... Goddamn it they kept it hanging zzz |

FareWhetherFan said: Highschool DxD is waaay more fanservice than HOTD. But that's actually the example I was hoping HOTD would follow. DxD anime has continued after the manga already stopped. I hope HOTD does similar. The characters and story so far have been developed to the point that they can build off of it quite easily now and have plenty of material to work with. They can break off of the story where the anime currently left off, arriving at the shopping mall, or they can animate the rest of the manga and then go from there. There's enough material to just about make a new complete season from the current manga alone... but who knows, they may not have permission to animate anymore HOTD, whether from the manga or even original material based on their characters. I don't see any other reason why they wouldn't make anything new otherwise To point out a few things that are wrong: • DxD continued after the manga stopped because it's actually a light novel adaptation. • There isn't enough content to make a second season and it wouldn't have a proper place to stop at. • It's not the studio that decides what gets animated in the vast majority of times. It's usually the source material publishing company and the video distributor that lead the project. • There is no benefit whatsoever in continuing the anime because they can't promote a manga that is on hiatus. |

| The first season feel incomplete we needs s:2 |

|
| 5 years going on 6, I'd be shocked if they even make another official announcement regarding S2 lol |
| lol never gonna happne I was reading my full color edition of HOTD today after breakfast many years ago I buy it at some anime event I was starting college when I fell in love with HOTD now I already finished college, 5 years later, and didnt had a season 2 XD |

LeWick said: sure it's not as popular as western, but doesn't mean it not sells at all! HOTD breaking 100K sells for manga. it's the author and artist who decide to not make more. both of them separated afterwards.there probably won't be a season 2, the manga is dead and back then, zombie animes were not popular. |
