when is ReZero season 2 coming out? So what's up guys Foxen in here! Juicy ReZero
question today especially now that the ReZero special is coming out. you might be
one of the ones wondering why are they hyping up this reason of special so much?
Why not just go ahead and freaking release season 2 already? If you look
back ReZero got explosive success when the anime debuted in 2016.
Whether it was your thing or not it was by far the blow out hit of that year. And make
no mistake ReZero continues to be super popular with the novel. In 2017 ReZero
was a third top-selling light novel just under 1 million copies which puts it a
little under konoSuba and SAO. So where the hell is season 2? There's actually a
couple reasons for the lack of season 2 being announced. A lot of these are
problems you may be familiar with and heard before too. First start off why would
an anime get another season? There's a lot of factors to it but if you really
want to oversimplify it an anime series should have raised the sales of the
original source material. For ReZero that's the novels. This is true for any
anime. Whether the source is a manga or a light novel and yes there are exceptions
to this but ReZero is not one of those. So let's just keep that for a future video.
Back to the question did ReZero boost sales for this? Definitely. Second
question, besides raising novel sales did the anime also bring in a lot of sales
for physical goods? If you're at all a ReZero fan then you might have screamed
out a huge 'Yes' before I finished asking that! The two twins and Emilia bring a
lot of cash with physical sales. Specifically Rem. I mean you don't get a
whole birthday month two years in a row for nothing and even now you keep on
saying new REM and other ReZero figures being announced almost monthly so back
to the question did ReZero bring in a lot of physical sales? Definitely another
yes. Let me mention that there are other factors on deciding whether an anime
get a season 2 but this alone here is more than enough to justify season 2 for
ReZero. So perfect where the freakin hell is ReZero season two? This brings
us to our first issue. Let's go ahead and look at ReZero season one in detail.
Season 1 covers the first nine novels of ReZero. Well about nine it kind of did
include the cliffhanger ending of volume nine.
Also technically volume 9 of ReZero came after season 1 of ReZero. After it had
just ended. With this you might be seeing the problem. Season one of ReZero
already covered everything that was out at the time. Nine volumes which includes
three arcs. This is why I really think they should take the opportunity to make
more KonoSuba. The problem with ReZero season two is
that they basically had no source material to go by. That's even if they
wanted to greenlight another season right after it ended and just to be
clear for source material here I'm referring to the physical released Light
novels. Thankfully the ReZero author Nagatsuki actually releases these fairly
quickly. Way quicker compared to other light novels. In 2016 he released five of
these novels. Then just last year he released four more. Right now volume
number sixteen of ReZero is gonna be released at the end of March so would
that be enough for season two? Let me come back to this. Let's move on to
another issue for ReZero season two. It's one that you often hear when anime
series suddenly explodes. You heard it with SAO, Attack on Titan and One punch man. So
okay people actually like this? Let's make a season two right away!
Unfortunately even if source material was not a problem for ReZero you then
run into this studio issue. ReZero was made by the White Fox studio which is a
small studio. Keep in mind the studios are basically contractors. Once again for
this do you have exceptions but in general anime Studios signed contracts
for work two to three years in advance if not more. What this means, so yeah you
want to make a season 2 for that super popular anime? Sure sign up and get in
line! We'll get to it in two years. So even if the source material was not an
issue for ReZero at best season two would have had to wait until 2018. Out of
pure speculation I got a feeling that they did sign up to make a season 2 so
really only as a matter of time. Now back to the important question is ReZero
season 2 possible right now? I mentioned how vol 16 is coming out soon. With
number 16 now it actually would be possible. That would make in Seven volumes
after the first nine that season one covered. These volumes by the way have
been longer than the previous ones. Assuming that season 2 comes out next
year the author may actually have up to four more novels released by that time
but actually seven volumes will be fine for another season. Tight
now the reason is that the seven volumes covers a super long arc four of ReZero. Sure
there could be more volumes coming up but I doubt they'll want to include
stuff from arc five into it but who knows? Assuming Rem and ReZero don't
drop in popularity my speculation points for season two possibly coming out for
2019 but hey that's a ReZero theory! Sure let's go with that! Anyway let me hear
your thoughts on this. Question of the day after hearing about this when do you
think ReZero season 2 will come out? Or maybe you're much more interested in that Rem
what if story? Also have you been supporting the series by buying the
novels and figures? How many REM figures do you have? By the way if you do see
people asking about season 2 let them know about this video! Anyway if you
found this helpful definitely give it a thumbs up and subscribe. I put out five
for more anime videos every week this includes ReZero news and other breakdowns
like this one. By the way last month was Rams birthday check out my REM birthday
special video and I'll see you guys later
