Last year the fans saw the premiere of Somali And The Forest Spirit the same time around, and now they are looking for the whereabouts of Somali And The Forest Spirit Season 2. This fantasy anime series received a great response from the viewers. They really liked the storyline and the character development of the show. So, will the fans ever see its second season? Here are all the latest details.
Somali And The Forest Spirit, aka Somari to Mori no Kamisama, is a Japanese anime series. Crunchyroll co-produced the show, which is an adaptation of the manga series of the same name by Yako Gureishi. The show made its debut on January 9, 2020, and ran for twelves episodes. Its last episode was premiered on March 26, 2020. And ever since then, its fans are anticipating the following installment.
Somali And The Forest Spirit Season 2: Renewal Status!
It has almost been a year since the fans last saw this anime, but the makers are still pretty quiet lipped regarding its future. They neither renewed nor canceled the show for its second season. Therefore the future of the anime series is still up in the air. Some fans believe that Somali And The Forest Spirit Season 2 is in the cards and will return sooner or later, whereas some fans already lose hope about the show’s return.
Do The Makers Have Enough Source Material?
Just like most of the anime shows, this one follows its plot from the manga series. Therefore it is necessary for the makers to have enough source material to animate. The author of the manga series has published six volumes so far. However, after that, they had to end the manga series because of the author’s health.
And the thing is, the debut season of the anime already adapted the source material up to the sixth volume of the manga. So, the means, the animation studios don’t have enough source material for Somali And The Forest Spirit Season 2. And that is probably the main reason why the makers haven’t renewed this series yet.
Somali And The Forest Spirit Season 2: Will The Anime Ever Return?
The odds are completely not in favor of the second season of the anime. Its debut season exhausted the source material. Plus, the manga has also ended because of Gureishi’s health issues. Therefore, now the makers don’t have any reason for renewing the show as there is no manga series to promote. So, it is likely that the fans will not be going to see Somali And The Forest Spirit Season 2. Plus, the anime produced by Crunchyroll rarely gets a renewal. And that’s another reason why it is very unlikely that the anime will return.
