The Heroic Legend of Arslan
| Hello! So, there is material for a season2, conquering Ecbatana, more Arslan x Étoile, (i still ship Arslan x Daryun QQ) and we still didnt see Narsus' paintings :/ And if the pattern follows, arslan s2 will be announced at the end of nanatsu no taizai s2?:D Opinions? Mod Edit: Modified title for clarity and/or easier searching. |

| Apparently the novels has a lot of material that can be adapted for a second season. |
 |
| The Topic title is misleading. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it. >_< Anyways. The Novels have tons of material left. I do hope they continue this series for another season. |
| Surely hope so. The ending heavily implied that there's still more to the story, obviously. I think the problem lies with the budget though. I don't know if you noticed, but most of the episodes had bad art and animation so it goes to show that they indeed have a tight budget. |

| The anime was a big hit in Japan so we will probably get an announcement for a second season next year or maybe even sooner (i hope) |

Ahh, im sorry, gonna change it now QQ :( Corwen said: Surely hope so. The ending heavily implied that there's still more to the story, obviously. I think the problem lies with the budget though. I don't know if you noticed, but most of the episodes had bad art and animation so it goes to show that they indeed have a tight budget. Yep, the CGI was pretty bad, and sometimes not detailed... But lets hope they announce it latest at the last ep of nanatsu s2 :D |
| I am hoping for a second season as well... fingers crossed for an announcement "soon" |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| i hope so |
| How long until season 3 of Spice and Wolf? The World May Never Know. |
| I hope so. They didn't conclude the history and the nolvels has a lot of material to adapt. |
 |
| Maybe after the manga puts out more volumes, since that is their profit and not the novels. They'll just be losing money if they did season 2 right away. |
 |
| It doesn't need to be right away but it definitely needs a second season within a year or two or else I'll be very disappointed. |

| Does anyone know how it did in Japan? Like the first blu-ray vols and such? And what about the manga? How much did they adapt? Somebody pls ._. |

| They made an ending for one, seeing S1 ending was a little open. I believe the novel has enough material for another season. Hopefully the studio will announce one ^.^ |
| All depends on sales.. ..at least in a logical world. Many series that sold phenomenally never got their S2, while many series that sold terribly got a S2, sometimes even S3 and S4. |
| plz plz plz. the tv rankings are very good so lets hope. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
black1blade said: plz plz plz. the tv rankings are very good so lets hope. Yeah. To be honest, I don't quite get why the overall rating is lower than 8 here. I don't mean by my standards, but in comparison to many other series here that are arguably overrated. The visuals aren't amazing, but they're prety acceptable and never get in the way. The story is pretty well written and it never felt rushed. I wonder if people can't get into it just because Arslan is soft or something. I've had so much fun watching it, it's kind of hard to understand what people think this series lacks. |

It is a historical drama focused on war and politics that is mostly talking with no fanservice or zany antics. It was also not animated by Bones or Madhouse and doesn't have a AAA budget. It does not surprise me in the least that it is not very well received here, shows like this bore children to death. |

It does not surprise me in the least that it is not very well received here, shows like this bore children to death. People who feel the need to be condescending to people that do not share their opinion and have to call them stupid or kids are just pathetic. There are different reasons for not giving this show an 8 or higher rating. First of all that the main characters do not even so much as struggle. Everything works out perfectly fine. Narsus has practitcally clairvoyance and foresees every possible and impossible enemy move. Daryun is a one man army that kills enemiese by the hundreds without so much as breathing heavier and Falangies cannot be hurt because of her Djinns. Secondly, Arslan is a whimp without any character trait that would make someone wanting him to be King. It sounds all lovely when seen from the eyes of someone in the 21 century. But in real history naive people like Arslan where just tools for the lords or other powerful people and where used to fulfill personal ambitions. Noone would have put theirs and their soldiers life on the line for someone like him just because they were compassionate. Especially, not since he clearly stated that he has no claim to the throne what so ever. Thirdly, the bad guys are all pure evil caricatures who are only portraited as being evil or being focused on revenge. Also, they are probably mentally handicapped, because the majority of plans from Arslans group only works if the enemy is totally stupid for the sake of plot. Fourthly, the Shindura arc was a complete waste of everyones time and does not contribute to the further story at all. So overall, for me, the Anime is a solid 6,5 (hence my rating of 7). I would still watch a possible second season, but it has too many flaws to deserve a higher rating so the current 7.86 is aready too much in my opinion. |

| The current rating shouldn't be considered bad per se. The problem is when you see other shows with an inflated score of 8+ on MAL that don't deserve it. This leads me to believe that quite a few of those who watched Arslan Senki either (A) disliked the main character (or perhaps the serious plot, lack of fan service, etc) as I mentioned before or (B) have already watched quite a few shows to have an idea what each rating should mean and are reasonable in their ratings. So basically, group A brings the score down and group B honestly thinks the show should be an 8 for the most part. |
FlamepriesT said: (B) have already watched quite a few shows to have an idea what each rating should mean and are reasonable in their ratings. It's funny. I would consider 7-8 a good rating for Arslan too, so in theory the current rating is just perfect. But my ratings are not MAL ratings, because MAL is very generous when it comes to scoring in most situations. So I may say that 7.85 is too low, even though it is just right. Whatever I end up giving something, it should usually be +1 more than that according to the MAL userbase. So in cases like this, it is likely because the show is too serious and too boring for younger viewers (that is overly simplifying it, but it is basically the truth). |
nogitsunechaos said: Except they have struggled quite a bit even with Narsus' perfect reasoning skills. Could you please tell me where they struggeled? I mean, they foresaw literally every move the enemy made. Even reactions of people they had never met and therefor could not realistically predict. In addition to that they had several asspulls like the secret passage to the castle, that Marzban showing up in an enemy castle to help them and many more. |

| The Sindhura arc was adapted from the novels so...I dunno, you probably would have to read all the novels to get the full view of the story. I really want them to adapt til the time-skip which happens in the novel. I don't think sales are the problem, but rather the pace of the update of the manga. Arakawa-sensei updates via montly 20 page chapters... and the manga is even slower than the anime. Wait til next year when the manga actually catch up to the anime. I can imagine Arslan after a time skip because promotional material for the manga show older Arslan (back view) and 10 years old Arslan. |

robis798 said: I doubt that the score is low because of these things, because if majority of viewers cared about show's flaws and noticed them, then something like Charlotte would be at ~6.00 Yeah, the majority of users don't do some critical analysis when scoring shows. It's however they "feel" at the end. If a show is too slow, too much talking, whatever, the score is bound to be lower. This has everything to do with age, and to deny that would be silly. |
| I hope so, I need to see more, especially now that Arslan and Etoile are traveling together! :D |
 |
| Hopefully, also screw your yaoi shipping OP. It will never happen get over it. |
 |
| love it very much need s2 |
| I would image that they make a season two probably next year, they probably announced a season two at the end of this year |
