5 Most Anticipated Anime for the Next Season, From 'BTOOM!' to 'LOG HORIZON'

Kapanlagi.com - Every time you watch an anime series, of course, you expect a satisfying ending, right? If an anime ends with a cliffhanger or an unclear ending, it will disappoint and betray the viewers. Some of them may even have to switch to the manga or light novel if the anime's ending doesn't meet their expectations.

Unfortunately, not all anime fans can easily switch to the manga or light novel if the anime they watch has an unsatisfying ending. The simple reason is that they are not used to it and prefer a clearer visual representation to evoke stronger emotions.

Therefore, many people choose to wait for the release of the next season, even though it may take quite a long time. Which anime series are most awaited for their continuation? For curious Klovers, let's read this one first.

1. D.GRAY MAN (2006-2008)

D.GRAY MAN is one of the old anime whose continuation is still awaited until now. This anime, which takes place in 19th century Europe, tells the story of an orphan named Allen Walker who joins a large headquarters called Black Order to eradicate the akuma (a type of monster). In the headquarters, he meets many people and eventually becomes close to each other in order to fulfill their goals.

This anime, which has 103 episodes, apparently has not fully satisfied the desires of anime lovers. The hanging ending and the many mysteries that have not been solved are reasons why this anime needs to have an additional season. However, because the manga, which is the source of the anime, often goes on hiatus, the continuation of the anime production is still uncertain. Oh well, let's be patient, Klovers.

2. BTOOM! (2012)

Taking the action survival genre, BTOOM! apparently gained a lot of attention from the public and became one of the anime that sold well in the market in 2012. BTOOM! itself tells the story of an unemployed young man named Ryouta Sakamoto who is very skilled in playing video games. However, his life changed drastically after he was stranded on a remote island whose location is uncertain.

Not only Ryouta, but also several unwanted individuals have the same fate and are forced to live their lives on the island. Unfortunately, their lives are at stake because in order to leave the island, they have to play a very dangerous death game that can threaten their lives.

After ending in episode 12, this anime has not received any confirmation regarding its continuation or addition of seasons. Fans have no choice but to wait with this hanging ending anime or choose other alternatives such as light novels or manga to satisfy their curiosity.

3. LOG HORIZON (2013-2014)

Anime that takes the theme of virtual games is also one of the most anticipated anime for its continuation. LOG HORIZON itself tells the story of three friends who accidentally get trapped in the MMORPG game world they play. The absence of a log out feature prevents them from leaving the game world. As a result, they have to survive in that place for an unknown period of time.

Unfortunately, due to a tax evasion case in 2016, the author of the LOG HORIZON light novel series was found guilty and had to spend 10 months in prison. Although he has now been released, the news about the continuation of this anime has not yet been confirmed.

4. NO GAME NO LIFE (2014)

This anime cannot be easily forgotten by anime enthusiasts. Besides having good visual quality, this anime also has an interesting storyline that can captivate anyone who watches it. NO GAME NO LIFE tells the story of two hikikomori siblings named Sora and Shiro who are known as Blank, a group that cannot be defeated in the world of games.

Because of their expertise in playing games, the siblings even managed to defeat Tet, a god from another world. After defeating the god, they are offered to live in a world centered around games, and they gladly accept the offer.

Although NO GAME NO LIFE has released a movie titled NO GAME NO LIFE ZERO to satisfy fans, there are still many anime lovers eagerly awaiting the second season of this anime. When will the second season be released?

5. OWARI NO SERAPH (2015)

The next anime that is also eagerly awaited by many people is OWARI NO SERAPH or in English titled SERAPH OF THE END. This anime, which has 2 seasons, begins with a strange virus that attacks the earth and causes humans to die under inexplicable conditions.

Due to the spread of this virus, humans are forced to be used as livestock by vampire races if they want to save their lives. Of course, this will bring about a war between humans who feel disgusted because they have been exploited and the vampire race.

Although it has a considerable number of fans, the continuation of this anime is still uncertain. The studio responsible for the production of this anime explains that the delay in the continuation of this anime is due to the rapid pace of the manga and anime. Because this anime is an adaptation of the manga, the studio is still hesitant to take rushed action.
