Can there be a “second season” in reality?
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
As a practical matter, it is highly unlikely that a second season of Dalihura will actually be made.
The reason for this is simple: the story of Hiro and Zero Two, which is the basis of this work, has already been completely completed.
Therefore, if a sequel is to be made, it will have to be a work featuring the children of the next generation who appeared at the end of the last episode.
This in itself is not unusual.
Most of the popular robot animations, including Gundam, have a generational change in the new series.
Whether you call it a “second season” or not, changing the main character and creating a new one is in itself quite natural.
However, in order to make a series, of course, a long-term sales strategy is essential.
You need a product that plays a central role in the project, like Gundam’s gunpla or Macross’ music development.
Unfortunately, that is not the case with Dalihura.
On the other hand, there are works such as Fafner in the Blue Sky that have been made into sequels after 10 years.
There are cases where a series becomes a long-running series even if it’s not a big hit, as long as it has a strong fan base and the production team remains attached to it.
Nevertheless, this project started as a joint production between TRIGGER and A-1 Pictures.
Both studios are very popular, so it would be difficult to say if both parties can share the benefits of restarting Dalihura, which is not a big hit title.
The conclusion is that a second season will be a bit difficult.
However, there may be a possibility that both studios and the main staff will reunite to create a new robot anime.
Summary
I think it will be difficult to make a second season since the work has already been completed, but I think there are many anime fans who would like to see these members make another original anime!
With the number of robot animations decreasing year by year, I would like to see creators who have the determination to create a work that will become a catalyst come together and create the first major hit robot anime in Japan!
