Inspired by a light novel, “No Game No Life” is a popular anime and manga of the same name written by Yuu Kamiya. Both the anime and its source material have the same story. And they follow the adventures of step-siblings Sora and Shiro. Both the siblings together, make up the unbeatable gaming team “Blank.”
One day, a person named Tet online approaches Blank and claims to be the One True God. Thereafter, Tet challenges them to a game of chess. After Tet loses to the pair, he sends them to an alternate reality called Disboard, where everything is decided by games. In this new world, the twins set about conquering the 16 separate civilizations and eventually becoming gods themselves.
“No Game No Life” is an anime about strategy, and games, and is full of hilarious moments. The show also received high praise for its top-quality, uniquely colorful, and stylish animation. Despite its high popularity, “No Game No Life” has premiered only one season of episodes. A prequel movie was produced by Madhouse, the studio behind the anime’s development, adapting the light novel’s sixth volume, which was called “No Game No Life: Zero.” But since then, no news of further development of the series has been announced. Still, the show was never officially canceled and thus fans have their hopes for Season 2 to drop.
When will No Game No Life Season 2 be released?
Currently, there has been no official announcement regarding the second season of “No Game No Life.” Despite the show’s popularity, it seems that Madhouse has no intention of returning to Disboard for another season. In 2017, an adaptation of Volume 6 of the original light novel, was released by the company, which proved that Madhouse is showing some hesitation to let the series go completely.
What we can interpret is, that this may be the result of a controversy that involved the series’ original author, Yuu Kamiya 2014. The Storify News-Times published that Kamiya had allegedly plagiarized the works of several other artists. Kamiya also apologized to the artists and reimbursed them for the art that he copied.
However, this idea is just speculation. A confirmation has come neither from Kamiya nor Madhouse officially, regarding the cancellation of production of the popular show. That is the very reason, why fans still hold out hope that Madhouse might revive the anime shortly.
What will be the plot of season 2?
If the day ever comes that “No Game No Life” Season 2 gets released, then fans will surely expect to see the story continue down the same path as the light novel or manga. As the anime adaption was stopped at the third volume of the light novel, this means that there are two more books of untold material between the end of the anime and the beginning of the film.
Towards the end of Season 1, Shiro and Sora successfully defeated the Eastern Federation, which created a pact between it and the Elkian Empire. Shortly after, the group is summoned with the intent of challenging the greats to a game. While the ending was not justified, it doesn’t quite deviate enough to completely bar Season 2 from getting back on track.
