Will There Be A Season 2 Of 86

So, you've just finished watching 86, right? And you're probably sitting there, staring at your screen, desperately wondering: Will there be a Season 2?! You're not alone, friend. The suspense is killing us all!

Let's be honest, the ending of 86 was...bittersweet. We got some closure, yes, but also a whole lotta new questions buzzing around in our heads like angry Legion drones. We NEED more!

The Big Question: Season 2?

The good news? There's definitely hope! The show was incredibly popular, grabbing the hearts of anime fans worldwide. And remember, the anime only adapted the first few volumes of the light novel series. There's plenty more story to tell!

Think of it like this: they've only shown us the tip of the iceberg. A very dramatic, emotionally charged iceberg, but still just the tip. We're talking epic battles, political intrigue, and maybe, just maybe, more heartwarming moments between Shin and Lena.

What's Taking So Long?

Ah, the million-dollar question. Anime production is a beast. It takes time to animate, voice act, and weave all those beautiful (and often heartbreaking) scenes together. Patience, young padawans!

Plus, adapting a light novel isn't a simple "copy-paste" job. The creators need to decide which parts to include, how to pace the story, and how to best translate the author's vision to the screen. It's a delicate dance.

Also, let’s not forget the fact that the first season was already split into two parts. Production teams need breaks after all!

Why We NEED More 86

Beyond the awesome mecha battles and stunning visuals, 86 struck a chord with its raw emotional depth. It made us think about prejudice, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be human.

We need to see what happens next for Shin and the remaining members of Spearhead Squadron. Do they find a new home? Do they ever truly escape the horrors of war? Will Lena finally give Shin a proper hug without a battlefield in sight?!

And speaking of Lena, let's be real, she's a total badass. We need to see her continue to grow as a leader and fight for what's right, even when it's unpopular.

Signs of Hope (Keep Your Fingers Crossed!)

While there's no official announcement yet, there are little breadcrumbs that keep our hopes alive. The 86 light novels are still going strong. The anime’s popularity hasn't waned.

Social media is buzzing with fan theories and petitions. The demand is definitely there! Maybe if we all wish hard enough, the anime gods will hear our pleas.

Consider it a silent prayer to the robot gods of anime. May they grant us a Season 2 filled with action, tears, and maybe just a sliver of happiness for our beloved characters.

In the Meantime...

While we wait for (hopefully) a season 2, there are things we can do! We can rewatch the first season (for the tenth time), read the light novels, and spread the word about 86 to our friends.

The more people who discover this amazing story, the better the chances of seeing it continue on our screens. Remember, sharing is caring (especially when it comes to anime!).

So, keep the faith, fellow 86 fans! The wait may be long, but the potential reward is oh-so-worth it. And who knows, maybe one day soon, we'll finally get that Season 2 announcement we've all been waiting for.
