It's fun when they announce something, and release it 3 years later haha

(hopefully Made in Abyss II comes next winter... or maybe 2019 spring)

Pffft hahaha...

I'm quite serious here in saying there'll only be about 15 new chapters in the next 3 years! This manga is really slow to release, only been 1 chapter since the anime ended.

Yes they can, considering the first season had enough fillers on it

Yea I'm just gonna say that as someone who read it and watched it, there was about 1 and a half word of original content that the Mangaka had wanted in the manga but couldn't do so they had it in the anime, NONE of it was filler Exactly 0%

There's no airing date yet, so it's entirely possible that it's going to be in 2019 or later. Also, chapters usually release every one or two months. The author only went on hiatus for 3 months because he was assisting with the anime. He has also stated that he feels pressured to release chapters more often because of the adaptation. The current arc seems to be around the half way mark too, so there will most likely be enough source material to adapt a second season if it's aired in 2019.

They said its just a rumour, i tried to remind some people about it but they doesnt took it seriously.
On the actual pacing if things got more complex we might even get a complete adaptation on 2020.

I guess I am the only crazy one that thinks there is enough material if they just slowed it way down. I guess I am also crazy for thinking that would be a good thing too. The manga feels super rushed and gives the characters no time to breathe or even develop.

Actually there is almost enough source material because the anime is actually more detailled then the manga and last season, 12 episodes only covered 3 volumes (24 chapters) and A little less then 2 chapters of volume 4 (A full chapter(something around 15 pages) and about 10 pages), so lets just say 26 chapters went as source material into those 12 episodes. Currently there are in total 6 volumes out and volume 7 has started, in total there are 43 chapters out right now. That means with other words 17 chapters source material so in theory we already have almost 3/4 of the course material if they use about 26 chapters again. I'm pretty convinced second season will air end of 2018, early 2019 at least.

Yup also keep in mind 1st season was 14 episodes technically so if they made a 12 episode season it may be available even sooner (though my estimate is still early 2019)

Exactly my thoughts on the manga, the characters, story and setting are absolutely amazing but damn is it rushed, the pacing of the anime was better imo, I'm pretty sure this manga will be over in not that many volumes (I don't say it will be over soon because this author is slower than a turtle pulling a truck) unless he pulls off a "under the last known layer there are a ton more layers lol" which honestly he totally can, he could milk this story for decades if he wanted because the abyss has a ton of potential

Depending on how long the

arc will be I can see season 2 being about

Especially if the second is a little longer since

I'd say it would be 6 episodes for the first arc and 7 for the second, maybe with a double feature on the last episode again.

If Tsukushi keeps the pace of one chapter every 4-6 weeks like he had before the anime I could see a Winter/2019 release.

Or they put the next arc into an OVA, which would be cool because it would benefit from the better animation, but also means an actual second season would be pushed further away :/

Guess the sequel is dependent on the author not getting arrested for illegal stuff in the meanwhile. Looks like Japan is doing a sub-minimal amount of token cleanup before the 2020 Olympic Games for better global PR and some mangaka / illustrators got busted lately. IMO the Abyss author should be treated in a mental facility because what they created cannot be considered civilized in any sense of the world. I called the series "Indiana Jones' daughter and the Satan's arsehole" and dropped it upon reaching mutilitation pr0n. Allegedly in includes rectal abuse and alchemical transmutation of kids into goo in later episodes. Does that worth a sequel?

Says on your list that you've completed it so you're either lying, a troll or you don't know how MAL works.

You also need to separate actual life from fiction... Freedom of expression is a thing and a creator's works cannot fully represent their personality or how they behave 100%

Edit: I'll just say this here as well. I made this post as to let everyone know that the chances of this not being a full season are high unless there is a very long wait for it, but it's more likely that it'd pass the manga or even more so be a movie or a few OVA episodes.

I don't know about that
Currently in the manga, they're at "The Capital of No Return"
when the arc finish, which should be 5-6 more chapters, the manga should have enough chapters for another 12 episodes adaptation
They have Bondrewd arc and the Capital of No Return arc, 12 episodes should be easy

i dont agree, the best arc of the manga cant finish at ep 6 or 7 ,
it would feel anticlimactic. In my opinion they would do a second season of 10 episodes

10 episodes is not unheard of
I just hope they stay away from anymore than 12, but it doesn't look like it, and why would they do that

so far, the second season look pretty bright with Bondrewd and Capital of no Return arc adapt for 12 or so episodes
Plus, "Capital of no Return" arc is still publishing, can't really tell how long it will be

why does there need to be source material per se, can't they like, stray from it and think of new storylines just with the same setting/characters you know? Like they do with lots of western stuff, like.. pretty little liars, vampire diaries I don't know all that YA stuff :P Or is that really not done in anime?

I just watched the first season and I totally liked it.

Because it almost never ends up being good (or as good as it could be). Like the original FMA or Tokyo Ghoul Root A

Hum. From what I read, there is certainly enough source material for at least 8 episodes.
The anime ends at chapter 26 and there's 44 chapters. Maybe 45, but not translated.

As it has already been stated the "Made in Abyss Season 2 announcement" was something done only to reassure the fans that this won't be a series that's left as it is, hanging.
They'll do another season but nothing is planned yet, they did not start any kind of pre-production process(since they are occupied with a couple of other projects) which means that nothing will air until late 2019.

And that's a good thing, more time for Tsukushi to put out more chapters and finish this arc

I wonder how long the manga is going to be and so how long we have to wait until the whole story gets animated. Personally, I can't wait. I really enjoyed the first season and even started reading the manga.
I wish I could already watch the whole story :D

I'm pretty sure there'll be enough by the time 2nd Season comes out, although I can see why you are concerned. Of course, they could just adapt the Bondrewd arc by itself, but I don't really know what would be best for it.

That almost always ruins it, except on those rare occasions, like FMA and Bokurano. Filler can exist, but the only filler in Made in Abyss are only little side quests, the next arc NEEDS to be the Bondrewd arc for the story to make sense, they can't just start making up new plot points willy-nilly.

I feel like there's enough material for a 8-10 episode second season. Especially with showing the birthday curse stuff. Flesh out the Bondrewd arch a little more, add some scenes at the surface and then end as they arrive at "The Capital of No Return." Or for less of a cliff hanger wait to put it out till late 2019 and by that time The Capital of No Return arch should be finished. Even with the author's slow writing speed... Or at least one can hope. Or he might be the manga George R. R. Martin and we'll be waiting till 2025 for season two.

So as far as I know the anime roughly covers manga chapters 1-26. And as far as I also know we are already at manga chapter 46. Which means just another few chapters should be enough for a new season.

No... the two movies are coming out because we'll have to wait until 2019 for another season... not the other way around.

Neither of those can be worse than the Suzumiya Haruhi series in terms of releases.

They adapted the first 26 chapters in basically a length of 14 episodes, and there are 20 chapters that haven't been adapted. If the current manga arc finishes within the next ~5 chapters, which could still be this year, there'd be enough material for a second season.

However I doubt they are immediately gonna announce an airing date for the second season once there is enough material. I assume they are going to start announcing stuff within the next year, and eventually the second season would most likely start airing in 2020.

Remember Attack on Titan's second season aired four years after it was announced even though there has always been enough material. For all we know there could be no second season within the next five years.

Really? Did the manga get significantly worse when they reached the 5th floor? I find that hard to believe with how good its been thus far.

I thought so. Bondrewd's bit in the anime was the best thing he did in the entire manga, because it was an impactful introduction that left you yearning to know more about him. And then his full arc was really lacking, because all he does is continue being an asshole like we expect and we never get any real introspection into his character like we did with Ozen. He's just crazy and evil for the sake of it.

And then (yeah heavy spoiler ahead):

And then after that...it has been just uninteresting. I don't feel as inclined o the story as I did in the start. The sense of adventure of adventure of the beginning is nowhere to be seen anymore.

But then, I still liked the anime more than the manga. This new movie might change my opinion.

I understand that not everyone likes some parts of the story, everyone has their own tastes, I for example want more creatures, more information on the plants, to really know the abyss but I know this is not a story of the Abyss, just try to read that arc with other perspective, At first I didn´t feel it so amazing but then after reading it slowly and understanding more what was happening and the things each character really meant with their words it became my favorite arc.
