Okay, let's talk about something important. Something that keeps me up at night. No, it's not world peace. It's... when is BNA Season 2 coming out?
Seriously though, where is it? I binged the first season faster than you can say "Beastman." And now, I'm stuck in anime limbo.
The Endless Wait: Are We There Yet?
We've been asking this question for what feels like a century. The internet is full of theories. Are the creators plotting something amazing? Or did everyone just forget about Anima-City?
Maybe they are waiting for the perfect moment. A Tuesday at 3:00 PM? I hope not. That’s when I usually have to fold laundry.
My Unpopular Opinion (Prepare Yourselves!)
Okay, here's where things might get controversial. I actually didn't think season one was perfect. Shocker, right?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it! The animation was slick. Michiru Kagemori is a total badass. But some parts felt a little rushed.
Maybe the delay is a good thing? Maybe they're taking their time to craft a truly unforgettable second season? A girl can dream!
What Could Season 2 Be About?
My mind races with possibilities. Will Nazuna Hiwatashi and Michiru actually team up? Will we see new, even weirder Beastmen? Will the Mayor actually get a decent haircut?
I am personally hoping for more backstory on the Silver Wolf Festival. It sounded like one party I missed out on. I bet the snacks were awesome.
The world of BNA is ripe with potential. Imagine exploring other Beastman cities. Meeting new factions. Maybe even a Beastman sports league! (Beastball, anyone?)
Theories and Rumors (Grain of Salt Required)
Of course, the internet is a breeding ground for rumors. I've heard everything. From secret production meetings to the studio being abducted by aliens.
Some people claim to have insider information. They saw a blurry screenshot of Michiru on a forum. Honestly, I'm skeptical. Unless that screenshot shows her eating ramen, I'm not buying it.
Take everything with a grain of salt. Even this article. I'm just a fan with too much time on my hands.
So, When *Is* It Coming?
The honest answer? I have no clue. Nobody does! (Unless you work at Studio Trigger. In that case, DM me.)
All we can do is wait. Re-watch season one for the tenth time. And keep our fingers crossed. Maybe if we all wish hard enough, Anima-City will grace our screens again.
In the meantime, I'm going to practice my own Beastman transformation. Wish me luck. I'm aiming for a fluffy bunny.
Final Thoughts (and a Plea to Studio Trigger)
BNA is a fun, unique anime. It deserves a second season. Studio Trigger, if you're reading this... Please, give the people what they want! We’re ready to return to Anima-City!
And to my fellow fans, let’s keep the hope alive. BNA Season 2 will happen eventually. Right? Right?!
Until then, I'll be over here, rewatching my favorite episodes. And maybe drafting my own fanfiction. Don't judge me.
