| Oh my, I'm almost proud to be the first person to comment on this thread. With those sales, this news is extremely surprising albeit pleasing. Someone must have pushed hard for this. Or the CGI is just that cheap. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Honestly didn't expect Ajin to get a 2nd season, but it's all good I guess. Another thing to add to my PTW. |
| Yes! Been loving the last few months of the manga so I'm really excited for this. |
 |
| Was expecting this sooner or later since the TV is basically the same with the trilogy movies with some additional scenes and maybe different angles since it's made in CG. The first season probably only covered up to the middle of second movie based on the key visual for the movie. They'll just ended up re-using the same scenes as the movies and most probably end at the same point as the third movie so the sales for the first season won't really affect it at all. It's basically a win-win situation for them. Still glad for the news though. |
| Yes! Didn't expect a second season from this anime, I mean, the sales sucked big time. |
| I can already see someone not being happy about this. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Didn't expect to be so soon. I'm really happy about this news, Fall is getting better ! |
 |
| Huh, wasn't expecting it. Looking forward to it, though. The first season ended when it was finally getting good. |
✧ |
| Looking forward to this. Obviously, the first season didn't have a definite ending so the sequel should pick up from where it started. |

|
| YAAY! prayers answered! This will be well hyped by non discriminating CGI animation fans! |
 |
| YES! YES! YES! all I now need is official announcement for osomatsu-san S2 . |

| Yes! I really enjoyed the first season, so I can't wait for this!!! |
| Cool news. The first season was pretty good. Can't wait. |
  |
| Very excited for this! I knew it had to have a second cour, especially after that cliffhanger. A few people said that the cliffhanger was meant to continue into the third movie, but it didn't seem that way to me. With the pacing they went at, they had enough material to continue to a second cour. More Kanno Yugo's intense music is great too. |
| Yay Netflix, I hope they fund more anime possibly based on old mangas. |

| Omg this really made my day. I was almost certain that I would have to watch the movies to get a proper ending. But now that this has been announced I can't wait! Wow fall looks amazing already with sequels to haikyuu, gundam IBO and now ajin which was my aots last season |
| Awesome, Ajin was more enjoyable than I thought it would be so this is great news. I'm looking forward to it! |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| YESS IM SO PUMPED!! NATSUME YUUJINCHOU S5 AND NOW AJIN S2.... FALL 2016 WILL BE A GREAT ONE FOR SURE |
| Cool.... The first season was ok, will probably watch it. |
| Hell yeah, I totally didn't have hope that it would get a second season and thought everything will just continue with the movies but I am glad that I was wrong. The series is really good. |
 |
| Excellent news after how the first season ended. I assume it will go further than the third movie does then, cos there's surely no way they can drag that out for 13 episodes. Either way, I can't wait. |
| o wow I can't wait to add another 1/10 full anime series to my list... They're getting less and less rare. The Japanese audiences' taste never cease to amaze me. |
| I knew it. Ajin won't just be adapted for 1 cour. Because the Movie adapted further than the TV Version. And well, The TV version was just almost the same as the Movie. (but longer) |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| GREAT!!! was WAiting for the second season and yep. and i bet CGI again. i hope they use 2D instead of CGI/3D but i bet CGI again. either way i'm looking foward to it xD |

| OMG BEST NEWS EVER! I don't like to watch the movie version. So this is GREAT! |
| Seems like MAL now gives you notice if a second season gets announced. Nice feature, although I would say it's unnecessary to notify someone if they dropped s1. Anyways, from what I heared, Ajin becomes even more terrible later on, so even the people who like it might not be pleased with this. |
 |
| Nice, I enjoyed the first season so I'd love more. |
| Ugly anime always get more seasons |
 |
| Thank you! Even with bad sales, they're going for a second season!! And the second season will happen this year too ^_^ tragedydesu said: Ugly anime always get more seasons Ugly ≠ Bad |
 |
| Awesome. The first season was ok. But prefer the manga, I recommend to the people who hated the anime to read the manga... Anyway I'm looking forward to it. |
Have a nice day!  |

|
| Awesome! Let me finish season 1 first. |
| More CGI huh? Okay Japan. |

Which is why I'm looking forward to Netflix to fund more Seinen Adaptations. There is absolutely no connection between the 2nd season of Ajin and Netflix. Netflix only paid for the streaming rights, not the whole production of the anime. This was probably planned by the production committee from the beginning since they were just reusing scenes from the movies to make the TV series. |
  |
| Great news. I'm so glad to see Satou-san again. I wasn't really hyped at first about the CGI but i must admit it looks better, especially for the ghosts, than i thought. So count me in for this new season o/ |
| Great News and totally see it coming :D |
  |
| Wow this news is great~ Didn't expect this news today. I loved Ajin and definitely want the season 2. Can't wait for season 2 in fall! Fall is looking great already~ |
| Its nice of them to keep pushing this series on, but it just seems its not working. Its like Toriko, all those features with One Piece and Dbz, and its still not popular. |
 |
| This is not really a surprise, but I am still happy to get this confirmed. How were the movie's sales compared to the TV show? Because the TV show's were abysmal IIRC. |
 |
| YES! So happy to see this and my siblings will be really happy too. Fall 2016 is going to be a really good season. |
| Well, I guess I have another reason to finally watch Ajin, but maybe I should probably marathon it either right before season 2 comes out, or after its finished so I can marathon both seasons. Either way, this should be interesting. |
