This is one of my favourite animes and I was just curious what others think about chances for season 2. I personally think chances are pretty slim because:
It got some popularity but never really popular, since usually go down in popularity the more seasons they do this is not really a good sign 
Blue ray sales were decent but not anything spectacular, the LN's are selling pretty well too but again nothing too spectacular
I think the series made some money but not enough to justify A1 series making another season with the same quality and budget as this one, hope I'm wrong thought

I can't answer the question but this anime was amazing. The music and story is just perfect. But hopefully it's just delayed because of mangakas health

I doubt it. but I do kinda see it getting a movie. But I doubt a S2 even tho I really liked this anime as well.

I’d love to say yes but sadly I doubt it, 86 got me back into anime but I really don’t think it will get a season 2, at least not yet. Where the light novel goes after part 2 is a little mmm, the animation would need to get better but with the sales that’s a little hard for the studio to do (at least that’s what I think they would think). I feel like they probably will make a season 2 because of it being fairly wanted but don’t expect it any time soon.

I don't think so and I hate to say it because this anime has become one of my favorites because everything about it is perfect for me but i wish we could see these kids again and more of shinei and milizé together after their reunion.

An A1-Pictures anime not getting a second season (if we count out anime which complete the story in its first season such as Your Lie In April) is rare.

So, I don't see why 86 wouldn't get a second season.

I hope the director continues this as a passion project like Shuhei Yabuta did for Vinland Saga by shifting from WIT to MAPPA. Toshimasa Ishii is a really gifted Director and I'd love to see his second season of 86.

Anyways it's only been a year since the 2nd cour, there's still time for an announcement and I'm actually expecting one cuz this was one of A1's more popular shows anyway, and I don't see why it wouldn't get a second season. Much less popular anime have got 2nd seasons (MAL Data) with pristine quality and afaik the anime was well received in Japan.

tbh i think its possible but as you said it has slim chances. Plus if they do i think its going to take some time since A1 has a lot of projects and they still have the mess with the delays like nier. Plus me personally if they make a s2 and they dont keep the same staff and director of s1, i would rather they dont make a s2 if im being honest.

For those of you who have read the LN series you know that 86 hasn’t gotten to the interesting parts yet … the anime has barely scratched the surface of this strange, complex and mind bending world.

Whether we get additional seasons, which I pray for, the LN series is well worth the read. Currently at 12 volumes.

I want a Season 2 but honestly I'm pretty pessimistic that it's going to become a reality. If A1 did produce a Season 2, they would have to commit to adapting all of the volumes because doing otherwise would just disappoint all the fans (and they might not have the will nor the resources to commit). There's also the chance that they'll somehow screw up the quality of the second season.

But yeah, if Season 2 doesn't happen then I'm perfectly fine with it because I think Season 1 wrapped up on a perfect note and is nicely self-contained.

I loved this anime so much I really hope it gets a season 2 but with shows like these if we do get it one it usually gets announced right away so seeing as that didn’t happen I’m starting to doubt it :(
Really sad I love this show.

Bro chainsawman is for sure getting a season 2. It just blew up way too much while airing for it not go get one.

I really hope so!!!

The production value alone tells you everything you need to know on how great this show is!!!

People forgot that the last episode of season 2 was delayed & released specifically on the date where Lena & Shin met again!!!

& i think its because of this delayed release that its blu ray sales are affected!!!

& knowing A-1,

If its a show that is not as successful like Kaguya,

I doubt theyll make a new season out of this!!!

Season 2's ending is a great ending done correctly in the adaptation!!!

& sadly, A-1 did that so that the adaptation will just end there!!!

& yes,
Im currently still reading the LN!!!

I think there will be. Light novel content is goated. So much potential. All I’d say is get more people to watch 86 and if you can, buy the light novels and the new manga volumes coming out.

86 is one of my favorite Animes of all time. I've been going through the LN's and loving it even more.. that's why it saddens me to believe that it will never get a season 2, it did its job which was make me wanna read the novels, and i still think that was the main goal of the anime tbh..

I agree, the lack of revenue proves as a huge disincentive for the studio. However the only saving grace that I can seem to see is that recently A1 pictures have started a lot of huge projects and a lack of staff may be the reason why they’re unable to make season 2. If this is the case, there’s still a chance that s2 could be announced when some of these projects (such as solo levelling) have been released. I’m not a light novel guy but if there’s no news at all within the next year or so I might have to just read the LN. Anyways here’s to hoping for an S2

Hard to be optimistic when sales come into the argument, so yeah, hopefully there will be, but I think you had the response even before writing it
