| What's up with that? Why does Asterisk war have season 2 ( not to rip on it it's good ) and Chivalry of a failed knight not. Failed knight did a better job in my opinion. |
| because one is by Silver Link and the other is by A-1 Pictures |
 |
| Asterisk did a better job IMO... The conflicts are clearer and since I'm not a big fan of ecchi, failed knight got a minus point from me... But lol, it's not like my opinion change anything XD Deknijff said: I agree with this. I think this is likely the reason why..because one is by Silver Link and the other is by A-1 Pictures |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| It was a split cour so they had initially planned 24 episodes and just had a separate season in between. There are probably a variety of reasons why some shows do that but I haven't actually looked into most of them. I can assume it would be things along the lines of cheaper, easier to lock in airing slots, allows last minute corrections by giving them a full 3 month break, potentially allows a full rerun of the first season if they want to attract new fans after airing, amongst other things. Also in Rakudai's case, I'm kind of guessing here, but I don't think when it aired there was enough source material for a second season and there could be any number of reasons why it didn't get a sequel now. |

But lol, it's not like my opinion change anything XD This ;D Rakudai actually made an effort with the vast majority of it's ecchi, there was always a bit of regular ol' fanservice, but a lot of bigger scenes with any form of "fanservice" was actually rather plot-relevant. I also don't understand why Rakudai misse dout on a season 2 while Asterisk got one, AND STILL CLIFFHANGERED, (aside from the obvious difference in studios working on them) but man. Rakudai was gud. |
| I wish not to have a signature, as I find them incredibly obtrusive. As such, imagine something flashy. |
| Asterisk did do a better job. The only reason people shit on it over Rakudai is because the coupling in it actually got somewhere early while Asterisk just dragged on the never ending harem format. |
| Is this 2015? I remember there were so many threads like this back then. About Rakudai fans being jealous of Asterisk fans. I'm not a fan of both, but I wanna see Asterisk receives season 3 just to see more salts. |

| Haven't seen Asterisk yet but that other show is absolute fucking trash. I am so glad it didn't get a 2nd season. There's a reason why in these harem type shows, you leave the protagonists relationship status open instead of picking one girl. It just pisses off everyone who doesn't like her and makes them not want to watch the show. You especially don't do it that fucking early. Obviously Shizuku (the sister) was the correct choice so this show can suck my dick. The fact that it's not getting a second season is a nice consolation but I hope it flopped on sales too. I'd take generic open ended harem shit over this any day. Or just have 1 girl from the start so I don't bother watching at all if I don't like her. |

| Ass war was actually supposed to be 24 episodes, but got split into to separate seasons. nonetheless Ass war was a pretty shit show |

| Asterisk War overall was a better anime than Cavalry. |
 |
| Sequel or Split cour = AKA Trash Not even a sequel nor split cour could saved the whole crappy show, pulling all the budget they taken down to adapted from a generic LN looks hella _GARBOOOOO_ |

| I actually thought that Asterisk's second season was somewhat decent, whilst Radukai was pretty horrible all around. This is especially due to the trope where the main character is supposedly weak but isn't really therefore the ranking system is bullshit, bullshit. |

| why are you even comparing both shows? theres like.. a bunch of other battle harems lol |
   |
| they are already funded to be 24 episode, and decided to go with split cour... rakudai is 12 episode to begin with... i like asterisk more TBH... also sales wise, rakudai is higher than asterisk, not by wide margin anyways. and still low... |

| Rakudai was a 6/10 for me. Asterisk wasn't a "second season", but a split-cour, it was planned since the start, in spite of Rakudai, which only planned one season. TBH, i watched Digibro's videos about the series and i think most of the big problems of Asterisk would annoy me A LOT (I probably wouldn't care much about the nitpicks, tho), but i feel i would have had more fun watching Asterisk than i had watching Rakudai. I mean, yeah, Rakudai was okay, and took off many annoying tropes in the genre, but it didn't have much stuff going on and i felt it was pretty limited. |

| In a manner of speaking, Asterisk War got a 24 episode season rather than 2 seasons, since it was a split-cour as everyone above me has mentioned. Now a follow on question is why did Rakudai get less episodes than Asterisk? Your guess is as good as mine; success in Japan? Budget? etc. I honestly can't give you a reason unless we're being hypothetical, or you want me to give you a sarcastic reason. I've watched both and none of them were real standouts in the slighest, especially Asterisk War which has become a pet hate of mine. I won't go on too much more on the matter... |

| Asterisk got 24 episodes, Gekkan Shoujo noazaki-kun only 12. :) Anyway, I think 24 were already planned, but they split it into 2 seasons. Also, the show probably got a lot of good sales since Japan has shit taste. |

| It's better this way, Rakudai gets a lot shittier after Ikki won the tournament. |

| Because Asterisk War was planned to be a split cour Anime since the beginning |

| Asterisk War got me into anime, so I like the anime, and expected a 3rd season. |
Deknijff said: sorry. I forgot to tell that asterisk also have a lot of ecchi scene, but it's at a lower level than rakudai (IMO). I can still stand a lower level ecchi but rakudai level was too high for me, to the point I keep it on-hold until the next season arrive...Meira_Eve said: Im just scratching my head in so much confusionAsterisk did a better job IMO...

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Well to make it clear, Ass war was a split cour show. Shivalry was not. |
| both are generic harems with disgusting tsundere main love interest burn them in hell |
 |
| What breaks my heart all the more is that AstWars has a decent English dub unlike Chivalry. Fuck you, Chris Ayres. |
| Honestly, Asterisk War was entertaining and it was actually funny to laugh at. Also Sasamiya Saya has a charm to her. Rakudai was better, but it wasn't great. Also for a romance, the main heroine wasn't a standout character in ANY way. |

| Asterisk War was a really fun watch compared to Chivlary of a Failed Knight tbh |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Asterisk got a season 2 because it was made as a split cour and it was planned to have 2 seasons before the first season aired Instead of airing 24 episodes consecutively they had a break in between airing them, either to keep working on it or because Aniplex sunk a lot of money into promoting it thinking it'd be the next big LN hit, which they most certainly did, so it was in the hope of keeping interest over a longer period of time maybe. Either way, it didn't get a season 2 because of its success or overwhelming demand, it was going to be like that from the start. Which is why there wasn't much time difference between S1 and S2 compared to many season ones and season twos. |
 |
| because Rakudai Kishi was bad and Asterisk War was at least decent |
| Rakudai was a cringefest, asterisk war not as much |
| I'm OK with how Chivalry ended, in the words of Digibrony, "Chivalry of a Failed Knight Doesn't Suck!" (well I can agree that it's better than Ass Wars lol) |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Because A-1 Pictures has more money than Silver Link |
 |
| quality has nothing to do with the fact on the anime getting a second season or not the decision making process as anything in a company is mostly interested in the several ways a new season can bring back profit so it was simple, a second season of the asterisk war was found to be a greater asset and considered safer to investiments, so they decided to go with it |
| Both of them were suitably entertaining to me. Hell I'm totally fine with how the first season of Chivalry of a Failed Knight ended actually, it was satisfying and fairly conclusive. Now Asterisk War that needs more seasons to wrap up the loose ends it left untied. |

| Asterisk war was decent for me but very forgettable. Rakudai was superb. I am confused too |
