The Dengeki Bunko 30th Summer Festival Online 2023 event announced a second season for the Sabikui Bisco television anime on Sunday, revealing an illustration by animation studio OZ (pictured) to celebrate the announcement.

The first anime season aired in 12 episodes in Winter 2022. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime with English subtitles and dubbed it in multiple languages.

The anime adapts Shinji Cobkubo's action fantasy light novel which he initially submitted for the 24th Dengeki Taisho in 2017 and won the Silver Prize. Dengeki Bunko began printing the adventure fantasy light novel with illustrations by Akagishi K and mocha in March 2018. Kadokawa published the eighth volume in January 2022 and will release the ninth volume on August 10.

Yuusuke Takahashi drew a manga adaptation in Manga UP! web magazine from April 2019 to March 2021. Sou Natsuki began serializing a second part in the same magazine in December 2021. Square Enix shipped the third volume of part two on December 7.

Yen Press licensed the light novel in English in May 2021. The fifth volume will go on sale on July 18.

Sabikui Bisco placed first under the Light Novel and New Work category in the 2019 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! rankings.

Synopsis
An apocalyptic event has ravaged Japan, leaving nothing but endless sandy plains behind, and a strange rusting disease terrorizes the remnants of civilization. According to the government, the horrific state of the new world is the result of mushroom spores being spread by the likes of Bisco Akaboshi, labeled the "Man-Eating Mushroom."

But Bisco would beg to differ. In reality, he is a "Mushroom Protector," determined to uncover the legendary "Sabikui" mushroom—said to be the ultimate cure for the rusting disease. Joining him on his quest are his giant crab Akutagawa and the kind doctor Milo Nekoyanagi, who is actively searching for a rust poisoning treatment for his sick sister. Despite the prejudice aimed toward him by the common folk, Bisco refuses to give up on his quest to purify the rotting world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

@RED-clover12 Agreed! I liked where the end of it left off, it let everything end on a (semi-)pleasant note. It'll still be interesting seeing what they do for the 2nd season though

Felt like it didn’t need a second season

Someone clearly doesn't look stuff up on this very site. This is a light novel based series mate and that series is still being written. Maybe instead of just reaction, spend five minutes looking stuff up.
Oh I'm extremely sorry I didn't spend five minutes looking through the stuffs and just wrote whatever I recalled from my impression of that last episode.

Again apologizing for hurting you with my ignorance, but I assure you when I'd be in my 40's and still watching I'd do better:)
Dont waste your time on softhenic, seems soft in the brain to me

Lol, do you think LN SHOULD get an adaptation if it sells well? Holy simplicity. If LN sells too well, then the producers may simply decide that it doesn't need to be promoted in the form of a new anime. Especially when the last season had a very controversial reception even among the most ardent fans. For example, Mahouka is one of the main flagships of Dengeki Bunko, but there was a huge difference between the first season and the next, as the producers were not sure that LN needed a separate burst. Again, you just don't understand how the industry works.

I just feel really sorry for you. I probably shouldn't have engaged.
If you deliberately started an argument on a topic that you don't understand and for that, just trying to be prickly instead of trying to apologize or leave, then yes. It was a waste of time.

You do know that Index is one of dengeki bunko's all time best sellers? It kept topping the charts so much that it had to be excluded in multiple rankings/awards to keep them balanced.
The quality of S3 is irrilevant, it sold well regardless.

The world of clowns is inhabited by people who don't understand how the industry works and expect anime to get sequels based on some subjective quality or interest from Western audiences. Not to mention a bunch of other nuances. For example, did you know that the last season of Index was a big train wreck and was hated by even die-hard fans of the franchise?

 I usually don't comment but when I see actual liquid shit like this get another adaptation and good stuff like Index getting ignored it kinda rubs me the wrong way.
Feel free to censor me, if my language is too foul.

I have only one possible question left. Do you have an autism spectrum disorder? Otherwise, it's hard for me to understand why you can't grasp the simplest connection between your comment and my answer, and then write large walls of text in a vain attempt to understand it.

Resorting to ableism I see.. My.. I guess you're reaching for new lows in this discussion.. I don't think you're 'winning' any argument here if you have to resort to personal attacks instead of actually refuting my argument..

I mean.. It's not like I didn't give you ample chance to clear up what you meant.. That you decided to deflect over and over again is not some mental 'disorder' on my part , but a discussion tactic on yours..

And on another note.. It's not like i'm the first person on this forum who has trouble making out what it is you're talking about.. I do seem to recollect that you often have trouble engaging in discussions with other people.. With you often resorting to insults and other hostile behavior..

So on that note, I guess it doesn't surprise me that you're behaving this way..

But I do hope you get a handle on your personal issues.. If only so you'd stop wasting everyone elses time..
Judging by how frankly you shied away from answering the question and instantly accused me of Ableism (despite the fact that earlier throughout the dialogue you tried to justify your misunderstanding of my answer with rather unambiguous allusions to my intelligence), I was right. Well, this dialogue can really be closed.

Well no.. Seeing as how you've decided to avoid actually answering my question twice now..

I've asked you from the start to expand on your "logical deductions".. You could've easily clarified what "logic" you were basing your argument on when you said "With the same logic"..

Instead you more or less reworded your first comment by saying that I "suspect the show of milking what literally every show of this type has"..

What "logic" you believe I'm asserting or what you believe I "suspect the show is milking"..? You've decided not to answer.. Whether you could expand on the type of shows you're referring to so one can verify your claim..? You've decided not to answer that too..

So basically you're making opaque claims about my comment and a certain "type" of show.. And seem to be taking a logical leap out it.. When pressed on what exactly it is you're claiming, you avoid answering..

With the same logic, you can blame any nakama-power shows for milking this.
