| There are several anime shows that I really hope get another season, but it has been 5+ years or so for some since they last aired. Just wondering if there might be a chance for them. :P If you have some examples: Please list anime that came back, and after how many years. Arigato! |

| yu yu hakusho had a 23 year gap between the original series and 2 ovas |
 |
| Not really that big of a gap but Zero no Tsukaima is a franchise everybody assumed dead before it came back for a final season after a 4 year break. Inuyasha is also getting a spin-off sequel after 10 years since the Final Arc ended (which ironically also aired on the 10th anniversary of the original TV series, 2000-2010-2020). If it premieres in 2021, Anno's Evangelion 3.0+1.0 will be 9 years apart from its previous installment (3.0 in 2012), 14 years from the first movie in the series and 25 years from the original TV version. A lot of old franchises are getting resurrected these days so you can probably also hope for a reboot instead of a sequel. Fruits Basket and Higurashi got reboots, Log Horizon and Strike Witches new seasons. @edit: on the other hand, the reason why some apparently popular franchises never get a sequel is quite complicated and often has more to do with production committees and IP politics than ratings and sales alone. |

| Digimon Adventure 02 (2000-2001) -> Digimon Adventure tri (2015) Yugioh Duel Monsters (2000-2004) -> Yugioh Dark Side of Dimension (2016) |
 |
| Lupin the Third part III was aired in 1984-1985 and the sequel/reboot part IV was aired in 2015. That is a 30 year difference. |

| some light novel series in particular that remained popular over long time slayers 1997-2008 kino's journey 2003-2017 majutsu no index 2010-2018 kagaku no railgun 2013-2020 durarara 2010-2015 (this is shorter than i thought 0.o) also cardcaptor sakura 2000-2018, this one actually recieved a sequel manga though.... so what im getting at is that the source material status is important for these series you are thinking about |

| There's the macross franchise SDF Macross (1982) > Macross 7 (1994) > Macross frontier (2007) > Macross delta (2016) although to be fair there were some films and OVAs released during the gap like macross do you remember love (1984), macross plus (1994), macross dynamite 7 (1997) and macross zero (2002) |

That is true, but I didn't count those since I took the question to mean "longest gap of time in-between seasons". So between seasons 3 and 4 was a 30 year gap. If the question was "longest amount of time in-between installments", then I wouldn't have brought it up since there are yearly installments. But I understand how it could be read that way. |

| InuYasha ended its original run in 2004. Five years later came InuYasha The Final Act, which wrapped up the story. How many of the examples others have given have been actual continuations of the earlier series, not remakes or reboots or side stories? Basically no different as if they had made the next season other than the unusually long time between them. |
A møøse once bit my sister... |
| Tiger Mask had a 10 year gap between seasons 1 and 2 and then a 34 year gap between seasons 2 and 3. Mirai Shounen Conan 2 aired 21 years after the original, but it isn't a direct sequel nor is it related to the original in any way. Utawarerumono had a 9 year gap between seasons. Laughing Salesman got a sequel 28 years later. |
  |
| Oh you're asking at a beautiful time for shows from a long hiatus finally returning. For when some shows ended and got their new season.... Chihayafuru (Spring 2013 - Fall 2019) Log Horizon (Winter 2015 - Winter 2021.... tentatively) Full Metal Panic (Fall 2005 - Spring 2018) D. Gray man (Summer 2008 - Summer 2016) Fruits Basket (Winter 2001, got a remake in Spring 2019) Series do come back. Not all of them, but it's not impossible by any stretch |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| Longest I'm aware of is osomatsu:kun that ended in1989 and osomatsu-san which began 2015 |
 |
| I think there's a difference between seasons that continue an unfinished story and were supposed to happen at some point, like Chihayafuru, and those that add to a story that was complete, like SDF Macross - to keep milking a franchise, capitalize on viewers' nostalgia, or whatever. What is the longest gap of the first kind? Me, I'm waiting for the end of the Saki series, six years and counting. |
 |
| Log Horizon is the first that came to my mind. (2013 Oct - 2014 Mar) https://myanimelist.net/anime/17265/Log_Horizon (2014 Oct - 2015 Mar) https://myanimelist.net/anime/23321/Log_Horizon_2nd_Season (2021 Jan - ?) https://myanimelist.net/anime/41109/Log_Horizon__Entaku_Houkai This would make a 5 year and 10 months gap. |

| FLCL comes to mind, but I don't think anybody were asking for a sequel in the first place. So I'll go with Ashita no Joe and its 9 year long gap between season 1 and 2. Damn was the wait worth it though. In general I feel like people complain too much about not getting second seasons. I remember some people being concerned that Kaguya-sama season would never get a second season. Like, seriously? It hadn't even been a year since it came out at that point. Just because a second season doesn't get announced at the end of a series, that does not mean you'll never get one. Please just be patient and watch other anime in the meantime. |

petran79 said: Space Battleship Yamato too 3rd season starts fall of 1980 2199 starts in 2012 spring - 2199 is reboot. Do we count those? - You are forgetting Uchuu Senkan Yamato: Fukkatsu-hen which is from 2009...but maybe it doesn't count because it's not a season. My proposition is: Space Cobra 1982 -> Cobra The Animation: The Psycho-Gun 2008 - 26 years. If I am getting it right The Psycho-Gun is not a reboot (it's marked as sequel by MAL and it starts counting on you being familiar with the characters). Not even sure if Cobra The Animation from 2010 counts as reboot or sequel. MAL says - sequel. |

| Was beaten to the Laughing Salesman and Berserk :( Here is one you may not have heard about though. Did you know speed racer/ Maha Gogogo had a sequel? It transmitted in 1997 effectively having a gap of 30 years between the first and second series. |

 |
Namakura Gatana doesn't fit the criterium of "seasons". |
| D.Gray-man, it aired in 2006 and the sequel D.Gray-man Hallow aired after 10 years in 2016. Like i always say on such threads, there is always, ALWAYS, hope for a sequel or reboot so whatever you do, never EVER give up HOPE!!!!!! :) As for reboots, Fruits Basket got a reboot after 18 years and Shaman King get's a reboot after 19 years. So, as you can see, anything is possible!!!!! |

No!!! Don't tell people to give up!!!! You should never give up hope!!! You manifest what you believe in, so always think about positive outcomes for the things you desire, cause otherwise, you will ruin your chances of them happening!!!!! :( |

Dauphine said: , just have hope and it will eventually come!!!! Except if you are the one who is going to make it, a blind hope is not a good thing too. Sometimes it is virtually impossible for an anime to get a sequel, especially if that anime was never popular to begin with. Even popular series like Nausicaa or Slam Dunk never get a sequel (so far). It doesn't hurt to just read sources material if you really want to know the continuation of the story. Yes, probably in the future someone will make that sequel, but you can't be sure if you will be still alive at that time lol. |

You manifest what you believe in, so always think about positive outcomes for the things you desire, cause otherwise, you will ruin your chances of them happening!!!!! :( well as much as i'd like to disagree, i suppose that in my limited, anecdotal experience, you are absolutely right, as i have believed in nothing and as you said, truly, nothing has manifested. but in all seriousness, if you wish to advise others to construct vision boards, that's your prerogative for sure, but someone has to represent an alternative to nurturing false hopes, and luckily for op, i accepted the task, thanks are unneeded ;) Well, i have only gotten into things like the Law of Attraction and such not too long ago, but i'm seeing a lot of positive signs of my manifestation even daily, so it's real! I think it's just a matter of how much someone truly wants something. I actually haven't told anyone about it untill now, so i'm not really out to shove it down people's throats lol. XD I just want people to have hope, cause more anime sequels and completed anime are always good to have! :) |

| Not exactly as long of a wait as other things already said but Re:zero first aired in Spring 2016 and its second season came out in Summer 2020, So about a 4 year gap. |
| How am I supposed to decide what to write, I can't choose an anime to watch to save my life, you think I can pick a signature? |
| Maybe the 30 years between Akage no Anne and Before Green Gables, its prequel story. Also 30 years between Lupin season III and part IV. |
