An anime series called Gleipnir debuted last year and went on to succeed spectacularly. With a thrilling season conclusion that left viewers begging for more, Gleipnir Season 2 has become one of last year’s most anticipated tech-action shows.
The creators have already hinted at it on multiple occasions, but there has been no official announcement. So, when may we expect the film’s sequel? To learn more, continue reading.
Gleipnir is a well-known psychological-thriller action manga that follows a group of teenagers (primarily) with special abilities.
On April 5, 2020, Tokyo MX will begin airing an original 13-episode television anime series based on the story written by Sun Takeda and produced by Studio Pine Jam.
Funimation’s English sub release helped raise its popularity in the West, resulting in manga localization in countries like France, Spain, the United States, and others. Funimation licensed the English sub release.
Is there going to be another season of Gleipnir?
This article was written before the anime was renewed for a second season by either Studio Pine Jam or publisher Kodansha.
As of June 28, 2020, the anime’s first season she had concluded. Since then, many shows have been revived for a second season. These anime do not include Gleipnir.
Given the first season of Gleipnir’s publication date, it is too early to approve a new season. At this time, there is little official information about a second season, but speculation can be sparked based on three factors:
Is there enough content for the second season of Gleipnir?
These days, most anime that we watch has already been adapted from a previously published work of art, such as a manga or light novel.
Gleipnir’s inspiration came from a manga series. First, we have to see how many volumes are currently available, how many have been adapted in the previous season, and whether or not the series is still running. There may be a few volumes available now.
The Sun Takeda original manga in the 3rd issue of Kodansha’s Young Magazine is still being written and drawn. Serialization began in 2015, and the most recent ten volumes have all been released. Volume 4 of the manga was covered in the first season, leaving six volumes to be used.
As a result, there are currently six volumes ready for adaptation, which means there is enough material for a second season. Moreover, because the series is still active, there’s a good potential for a sequel.
Market Share and Attractiveness
This section will show whether or not the anime was even profitable for the production committee. We’ll do this by looking at the sales of its Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and manga.
Before you go any further, you should know that the vast majority of anime produced nowadays is done to help promote and increase the sales of its source material (in this case, manga).
Thus, their primary source of income comes from the sales of the light novel and related items, with advertising fees, internet streaming licensing, and Blu-ray sales serving as supplements.
