'Re:Monster' Second Season in Production

I dropped this after the first episode. Like really, THIS is what gets a second season? I want a second season of Ms Vampire Who Lives In My Neighborhood and Gabriel DropOut.

Slop getting mass produced as usual

@wildhood Yeah the first season of this was kinda mid. I'll probably give the second season a chance though if it's released during a season without much else to watch.

Really cool to see someone else who appreciates Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san! I read a bit of the manga back in 2017 and 2018 before the anime came out but It didn't have a lot of translated chapters at the time. I re-read the whole thing recently and actually finished it earlier this week and I think it's a 10/10 series and maybe even one of my favorite manga ever. It's so rare to find a comedy manga that's genuinely funny, and I also loved the whole concept of it. Top tier characters too, both their design and their personalities and how they interact with each other

I haven't seen the original season, so I can't really comment directly on quality. But this is another subpar (going by MAL ratings) show getting more content. I can only assume the source is successful with 5 volumes (+9 original) and so many sales.

I'll never be mad about any show getting more content, as I love to see shows getting continuations and someone will be happy. Still, the things I'd do for a new season of Nina the Starry Bride, 7th Time Loop, More Than A Married Couple, Mononogatari, Shadows House, and many many more. But alas.

I guess this new season will get the series over halfway through the original source novel.

@RobertBobert - thanks for giving your thoughts about the show. I'll add it as a show to consider watching in the future. To your later point, yeah, I almost considered not commenting but felt like this might spur some conversation lol.



I was thinking about that before my original post. Wondering if I was just complaining because it wasn't a "good show".

It made me question how many shows get announced that fall into each MAL score range. Not that I have time to do that sort of inspection but it'd be interesting to see that data. Scoring is subjective but offhand it feels like a lot of "mid range" shows, say 6.7 - 7.7 get missed.

As I was writing now, curiosity got the best of me, I decided to look through all the scores of shows with new seasons:

Clevatess - ~7.9
Dan Da Dan Season 2 - ~8.5
Farming Life in Another World - ~7.5
From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman - ~7.0
Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2 - ~8.6
I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! - ~6.6
I Parry Everything - ~6.9
Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4 - ~6.2
Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time - ~6.6
There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless... - ~7.7

I went as far back as Blue Miburo (April) so my sample size is pretty small. Out of the 21 shows, here are the breakdowns:

6 - 6.5 | 2
6.5 - 7.0 | 5
7.0 - 7.5 | 3
7.5 - 8.0 | 4
8.0 - 8.5 | 3
8.5+ | 4
-------------

Actually very even split between scores!

Even in my personal "mid range" bucket:

6.75 - 7.75 | 5

Which is a reasonable 4th of the sample size.

Ultimately, there's no correlation between these stats and the sequels chosen. I just thought it was interesting. It convinces myself to just stay quiet on these sorts of topics. Sorry if I offended anyone with my original comment about this show being subpar.

For those that read this far, thank you for reading my ramble. :)
