Will Myriad Colors Phantom World Season 2 be possible?
Myriad Colors Phantom World, is an anime that combines many genres such as action, comedy, fantasy, slice of life, and supernatural. Set in a world where supernatural entities such as ghosts called ‘phantoms’ exist, the anime follows the story of a group of friends as they handle the everyday troubles that phantoms tend to create.
The anime series Myriad Colors Phantom World is adapted from a light novel under the same title written by Souichirou Hatano with illustrations by Shirabi. It was published on December 20, 2013, and ran for a total of 3 volumes until February 17, 2016. One of the biggest achievements that the light novel has accomplished is that it has received an honorable mention in the novel category of the 4th Kyoto Animation Award in 2013.
The anime adaptation is produced by Kyoto Animation, the studio that is known for having a great reputation in the anime community, as they had done splendid work animating most of their adaptations. Their greatest work can be seen in the form of everyone’s favorite anime movie Koe no Katachi, the godlike animation Violet Evergarden, and one of the saddest romance anime Clannad.
Will Myriad Colors Phantom World Season 2 be possible?
The first season of the anime series Myriad Colors Phantom World had started to broadcast regularly on January 7, 2016, and ran for 13 episodes before finally concluding on March 31 of the same year. It was followed by a special episode by the name of Musaigen no Phantom World: Mizutama no Kiseki that was aired on October 5, 2016. Many of the fans who have watched the first season immediately want a second season to see the continuation of it. So, will there be Myriad Colors Phantom World Season 2 to answer the demands from the fans?
Although we have no valid information regarding the whereabouts of Myriad Colors Phantom World Season 2, it is safe to say that a second season is not feasible by all means.
The main reason is that Kyoto Animation only adapts the first volume of the light novel into a 12 episode anime, and you can already tell that they had to put a lot of fillers in order to make it work. The anime series has missed several major twists from the source which could have been a perfect setup for a second season. That said, it would be hard for Kyoto Animation to adapt the rest of the volumes and make a season renewal, given that the anime series contains a lot of original anime content.
Also, the anime was not well received by the community and didn’t sell that well in Japan. In fact, it has one of the worst scores (6.87 in MyAnimeList) that Kyoto Animation had got for an anime adaptation.
Myriad Colors Phantom World Has a Spin-Off
The anime series Myriad Colors Phantom World also comes with a total of seven spin-off episodes entitled Musaigen no Phantom World: Limitless Phantom World. It is a picture drama special that is bundled with the main series’ Blu-ray/DVD volumes. Each of the episodes is only 6 minutes in length and it has comedy aspects while still retaining the characters from the main series.
Myriad Colors Phantom World Action
