The first season wasn't like the worst show ever but it was kinda hard to watch, with characters getting killed off so easily before even getting to do much. The synopsis of this says there are 16 girls this time. I can't imagine they will get much development at all before being thrown into the blender. Seems like it will be a waste.

Which is actually a strong point of it indeed. There's no point making that kind of story if you already know that X and Y are safe because they're too strong.

Yes, this series is very enjoyable and worth reading and watching. I love especially the chibi illustrations of the magical girls. Each one of them is very well designed.

Consider me spiteful and it will make me look like a bad fan, but seeing this get a season 2 instead of Gakkougurashi is really disappointing to me. Considering the same studio did both and Gakkougurashi came out in around a year before season 1 of this. It truly is an industry where I pick the wrong shows to like.

I don't think Lerche would have said no to a second season of Gakkou Gurashi, so the side that was not interested in a season 2 was most probably the publisher/sponsor side. In other words, since those two series have two completely different sponsor and publisher behind them, no choice between Gakkou Gurashi and Mahoiku was ever made.
Lerche was offered to make a season 2 of Mahoiku, but never was offered to do a season 2 for Gakkou Gurashi. It's probably that simple.

...Also, if you've only seen Mahoiku's anime, you're probably underestimating Mahoiku's story and characters quite a bit tbh.

Ok so you don't like this franchise, for you it's just a waste, so no one can be excited for it. Why are you even making a post on a forum about an anime/franchise you don't care about?

I swear MAL is full of people causing discussion just becuase they feel the need, the urge, of telling everyone their opinion when absolutely no one asked about it.

Yes, looking forward to this.

One of my favorite parts of this story was the play on power scaling. Some super strong magical girls getting offed in spectacular ways by seemingly weaker ones. The death order was pretty unpredictable aside from the one obvious one.

Considering Restart is two volumes, I hope it receives more episodes, though...

They would have said yes probably and yeah I agree it was the publisher/sponser side. I know there was never a choice and I don't actually hold Mahoiku or any staff responsible for it. I know how the production side works I am just a salty fanboy XD

I have seen the first season and I gave it a 4/10. Granted this was a long time ago, but if season 2 improves it then that is good I might watch it then. Give Gakkougurashi a shot if you haven't. I know my toxic fanboy came out but it is still a good show. I will be trying season 2 of this show and will re-watch season 1 before so and who knows maybe my opinion will change on it. I did watch it like 7 years ago.

Thanks for your response and for not being a dick about it all. :D

Don't worry, if I took you for a simple hater I wouldn't have taken the time to answer you, so I didn't take it the wrong way :).
Well, we don't know what Lerche is going to do with the original material. Simply, the first series stopped too soon, so peoples didn't understood that what they watched was just the prologue, because they didn't finish adapting said prologue to show where the story would go and why what happened was meaningful. So it was taken very wrongly as just some bad Madoka copycat even though Mahoiku's true purpose is going into a completely different direction (regardless of what peoples think of said story purpose). That was why I said that if you only saw the anime then you may misunderstand heavily said anime. This is a problem shared by any anime that only adapted the prologue of a novel (Rokka no Yuusha for example had the same problem), peoples can't see where the story intend to go from there and misjudge the story's direction.

Considering my low score for Rokka no Yuusha as well considering how much I hated the ending I get exactly what you are saying. I will 100% try Mahoiku again when season 2 happens that way maybe I can see what it is actually supposed to be about. Even Gakkougurashi has issues as an adaptation. This is just a problem the anime industry suffers from. A go read the source material thing. It makes shows have subpar adaptations sometimes or at the very least endings that leave you a bit sour.

Yes looking forward to another season. I read the wiki and I saw that there are a lot of them. And by a lot I mean a lot. There are so many and I've read some of their backstories and powers. Some are broken and some had interesting powers so I would love to see more of them animated.

Yes, very much so. It's nice to have more shows that have a twist on the magical girl genre. Especially something that's outlived Madoka, and imo, far better character designs.

I agree, the 1st SE is a huge mess. Hashimoto-san (director of 1st SE) did a terrible thing to the adaptation.

On another note though, the LN was not supposed to be like that. It was actually REALLY GOOD and much more character focused (even Ruler has her own char development moments). First of all, the main mistake of the 1st SE is to make Snow White its main character. She wasn't originally, in fact the LN might as well do not have any main characters since everyone got roughly equal exposures (each chapters were divided into multiple POVs). Everyone are main characters. And on top of that, "Restart" is arguably the best title in the franchise, with arguably the best sets of characters in the franchise as well (i.e. Pechika is literally Endou-sensei's (LN author) favorite, and Pfle is my personal favorite).

But since, it will be once again adapted by Hashimoto-san, we can only hope he has learned is lessons from his failure in the 1st SE.

A little bit of advice for future adaptations (if any), unless you have read the LN, do not look at the Wiki. Mahouiku is one of the franchise that was full of twists, and as such spoilers as well. Yes, their abilities are pretty much disclosed since the very beginning, but the same cannot be said about its crazy implementations and implications, like what Tama did with hers in the 1st SE, and what Nemurin can theoretically do if she came to be a bad person(i.e. became a literal Freddy Krueger, thank god that was not the case). In fact, the more obscure or vague their abilites seems to be, oftenly the more broken it actually is.

Rokka no Yuusha is a great read.  The twists in it are some of the best and the way they deduce who is lying and has ulterior motives is fantastic.

I was talking about anime in general not getting survival right most of the time. Mahou shoujo ikusei is one of the few ones that I think it actually got it right in the last years

The general consensus seems to be that the first arc is the weakest, and that the following arcs have better pacing and characterization, on top of an ongoing  myth arc.
It's noted that the first arc was merely a single book while this upcoming one is 2.

@Calal-Chan Gakkougurashi blew its sequel money on a trash live action movie that sold about as well as you'd expect. With no further material out, it's not happening.

That, and, to be honest, Gakkougurashi's second and third arcs were a slog, and not as good as the first.
