Great anime that STILL doesn't have any new seasons

Is there any great anime out there you're surprised still hasn't gotten any new seasons yet? For me it's Komi-san Can't Communicate. I mean, so much anime is greenlit for more seasons despite their reception. And before anyone comments, Komi-san has a lot going for it. Numbers matter right? The manga sold over 16 million, the first season has over 20 million hours in viewership & has been well-received. Hell, even the subreddit members are more than half of the likes of Konosuba & Rising of the Shield Hero, both which got greenlit for 4 & 5th seasons. Yet still no studio wants to pick it up for a season 3?

Komi-san more than deserves another season. But what's your pick? Is there any great anime you know that still doesn't have a new season? Comment if you'd like. Be clear, concise, & honest. And say if you agree with me on the Komi-san anime.

I feel the obligation to say No Game No Life.

BalecIThink2026-01-24 20:39

That NGNL still has a loyal fanbase holding out hope for a new season is pretty impressive.

Lodju2026-01-24 20:43

And now that Yona of the Dawn got a sequel it kind of boosted the hopium.

Even though there is no basis for that.

BalecIThink2026-01-24 20:51

With all the random older shows getting sequel why not embrace the hope?

minami_natsume2026-01-24 20:39

Second this!!!

Shimmering-Sky2026-01-24 20:34

Houseki no Kuni / Land of the Lustrous. Can a production company please get Studio Orange on a season 2 for this already?

[](#seasonalpls)

Salty1452026-01-25 02:21

Probably my #1 tbh. I caved and read the manga because of Ichikawa’s art and since then I’ve wanted nothing more than to wake up to an announcement of S2.

The first season is good, but it really does cut off right where the story goes from good to godly.

Dungeon Meshi has S2 announced

IXajll2026-01-24 20:38

Sangatsu no Lion S3.

Komorebi_LJP2026-01-24 20:49

I wish Shaft work on this instead of another Madoka movie or the Monogatari series.

Sangatsu is by far the best thing to come out of that Studio.

Top_Result_15502026-01-24 22:53

Wrong. Monogatari and madoka are what put shaft on the map.

Komorebi_LJP2026-01-24 22:59

No one said other wise.

Doesnt mean they are as good

Top_Result_15502026-01-24 23:15

theyre far better?

both arguably a top 10 of all time

what_that_thaaang_do2026-01-25 00:58

Just my opinion but I also think sangatsu is way, way better

Fre3Monk2026-01-24 20:38

For me, I wish we’d get at least one more season of the below:

Heavenly Delusion (Superb anime that got buried on Disney+, but was superb)

Insomniacs after School (In my opinion one of the most beautiful animes out there, with lovely MC’s and zero conflicts making it a perfect sweet chill out anime to watch).

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today (I loved this silly, hilarious comedy anime about an intelligent overgrown cat that looks after its owner)

I would have added to this list Bocchi the Rock and Dark Gathering, but both last year had announcements of second seasons at some point.

Komorebi_LJP2026-01-24 20:50

Unfortunately I already saw that happening with Insomniacs, the anime got announced after the manga ended, which doesn't necessarily mean it won't get more(Dorohedoro did for instance!), but considering it didnt seem to gather as much buzz I think the chances are abysmall for it at this point.

I am surprised we havent seen any announcement for Heavenly Delusion though, it was quite popular and from what I heard there is enough material for a second season.

Fre3Monk2026-01-24 21:37

Yeah, I think the same with Insomniacs. There’s enough material for a second season, but even though there were rumours soon after it ended, I think a Season 2 is dead in the water. I also think it being stuck on Hi-Dive didn’t help either.

As for Heavenly, it’s a shame because that world had sooo much more to offer. Some of those episodes were amazing (I was shocked with the episode with the Doctor in the hospital, and how that episode tied the two storylines together, still makes me tear up a little).

I do hold out a little hope for Heavenly Delusion, just because it was well received in Japan alone.

Darthrix12026-01-24 20:41

Chihayafuru, Land of the Lustrous, and Bloom into You have been at the top of my deserves another season list

EconomyProcedure92026-01-24 20:42

Full Metal Panic Invisible Victory left us in a rather large cliffhanger. Yes I know one of the main people behind the show tragically died during the arson, but surely somebody can finish it.

UQ Holder has a similar situation where it felt like it could continue. Yes I know Ken Akumatsu was/is busy being a senator (or something like that). Again surely he at least had an idea how to finish the show.

For as long as the manga has been going on, I'm really surprised there's only 3 adaptations of Bio Booster Armor Guyver. To be fair the manga has been on hiatus since 2016! (seriously it's been 10 years since he published anything new).

Obviously Slayers is another that could easily continue, even if they had to reboot it at this point due to the big differences in the anime vs light novels.

MusubiKazesaru2026-01-24 20:45

FMP: IV was actually done by Xebec not Kyoani and Xebec is gone and partially absorbed into Sunrise now. Kyoani did Fumoffu and 2nd Raid, while Gonzo did S1.

I'd like to get a final season (and an adaption of the skipped volume) too. There should be a bit more interest in the series again with the sequel running now.

EconomyProcedure92026-01-24 20:56

I don't care who does it (I don't have time to hunt down the light novels) just want more of this fun & interesting story as an anime.

MusubiKazesaru2026-01-24 21:07

I picked up the novels in the recent release, but I agree.

SliderGamer552026-01-24 21:02

I feel strongly that Konosuba's continued relevance alone should justify Slayers returning.

Sibula972026-01-24 22:02

If they're continuing they better do a full adaption. The second season ended at a very satisfying point.

Kaiji

Ashteron2026-01-24 20:59

Some time ago on Kaiji subreddit a person claimed there are currently no plans for Kaiji sequel. When I inquired about the source I ended up receiving the answer on PM. Assuming I was told the truth, the source should be reliable. Given the information was PMed to me, I probably shouldn't disclose the exact details though.

Icchan_2026-01-24 21:09

Yeah, don't. People come up with BS all the time to feel validated...

Ashteron2026-01-24 21:29

I mean, there's very little value in such lie.

Komorebi_LJP2026-01-24 22:35

I wonder how many people in the west would watch it consdidering its heavily Mahjong from what I heard

Ashteron2026-01-24 20:51

If I am to pick one, there's no other choice than Shadows House. I'd understand if it ended after the first season, but the place it ended is so awkward. The material for the third season is nothing short of brilliant and I'd say the manga as a whole is the best mystery manga since 20th Century Boys.

New-Student32372026-01-24 20:51

Maid-sama!

Good Morning Call (if I can count it, because there's dorama exist and only one ova episode that just promotes manga by taking out one of the chapters from the middle...)

Ojō to Banken-kun (manga stopped, so maybe anime can just finish the story of mangaka can't do it)

Komorebi_LJP2026-01-24 20:52

Silver Spoon, one of the rare Arakawa projects that doesnt have a full adaptation even though its finished.

A shame because I think it lowkey is one of the best slice of life anime out there, I never knew how fun an agricultural school setting could be.

I guess also Vinland Saga, but I feel more confident that will eventually happen. Hopefully.

hyouko2026-01-24 20:57

I love Silver Spoon dearly, but I recall feeling like the manga ending was pretty rushed. I hope if they ever do tackle it, they flesh it out a bit more.

smart_is_cool10202026-01-24 20:52

Glad someone talked abt Komi not getting a new season , idk what’s wrong but really want to see it getting adapted faithfully and completely (or upto ch 302)

Mitsuyan_2026-01-26 09:22

> idk what's wrong

BUG Film is what's wrong. It would need a new studio to get a season 2

Night-Owl2542026-01-24 20:58

I don't think there's enough material for a full season but I NEED a conclusion to Girls Last Tour

SliderGamer552026-01-24 20:59

It has been more than a decade since even a Haruhi spinoff aired, which was five years after the Disappearance movie.

Fuck Usagi Drop, I don't want them to adapt what happens in the source material after the first adaption ends.

SouekiSennoSTM2026-01-24 22:13

I've never read the manga as I mainly just watch anime though I'm well aware of that story direction since it gets brought up often whenever the series in mentioned.

I personally don't really care if they go that route or do anime original episodes or just more manga-derived episodes from before the time skip to the extent content for that exists. But it was my second series ever watched when I started getting into anime and I thought at the time that it was annoying how a series which just depicted mundane everyday life and in theory could have so many episodes was so super short as to only be 11.

Chihayafuru.

It's one thing to do only 1 twelve or 13 episode season and just call it a day. This is the case for most anime that only adapt part of a manga series.

It's quite another to do 74+ episodes and not follow through to the end. Not even any movies!

Geoffk1232026-01-26 02:47

The manga had a pretty irregular release structure.

They would do a chapter every 2 weeks like 3 times and then take like a month off.

Probably wanted to give the manga time to move ahead.

Twigling2026-01-24 22:52

Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni) - it's an absolute travesty that this wonderful manga adaptation has never had a season 2 (or 3, or 4 ....... ).

Studio Orange magnificently adapted the first 30 (approx) of the manga's now completed 108 chapters, but despite the anime's reasonable success the production committee for some reason decided not to hire Orange to produce any more.

This says a lot about the often cynical nature of manga to anime adaptations - they are largely no more than adverts to encourage people to buy the source material.

If anyone is curious, the production committee for season 1 was made up of:

Toho, Kodansha, A-TX, Q-Tec, MBS, BS11, Movic, Kyoraku and Tokyo MX.

RPO7772026-01-25 06:20

The problem for Komi-san is that team at OLM that animated Komi-san was a sub-team that was called OLM Kojima. But the entire team at OLM Kojima split off from OLM to create a new anime studio called Bug Films. When they did, the team agreed to continue work on Komi-san on behalf of OLM, but you had this weird situation where OLM had the business relationship with the publisher on Komi-san but all the people who had working knowledge of the anime now worked for a separate independent studio (and there are rumors that OLM/Bug Films split was not amicable).

Generally, the production/business side of an anime studio (the producers) are separate from the creator side (the animators), so this is a case where the two sides of the people that helped create Komi-san the anime are no longer working together. Which is awkward and probably led to a lot of delays in a decision for S3.

Then to make things worse, the manga ended in 2025. A lot of times, publishers are enthusiastic for creating animes because it helps drive magazine and manga sales, but the benefits are much less if the manga is ended. In order for a publisher to commit to funding an anime for an already-ended manga series, generally the manga series has to be like a REALLY big seller.

At 15M+ sales, Komi-san's a big hit, but it's about half of Frieren (30M). which is Shounen Sunday's biggest hit on the same publisher/magazine. Silver Spoon (which I LOVED) is another Shounen Sunday hit, but it never got a final season, and it sold around 17M volume.

All's which is to say, at around 15M in sales, it's not SUPER surprising Komi-san didn't get a final season.
