Fans just cannot stop talking about the fantasy anime ‘Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor’ that aired in April 2017, because of which it became one of the hits in its genre. When Liden Films, Inc. launched the first season, its school setting and fantasy content included plenty of adorable anime girls, with one main lead becoming everyone’s favorite. The profound representation of knowledge about magic impressed fans enough to want for another season, and here is what we know about Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records Season 2.
Will There Be Season 2 Of ‘Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor?’
To continue making the sequels, one of the most important things to pay attention to is the fact that there is enough source material for another television adaptation of the anime series. Considering the Akashic Records case, it is most likely that this show might get another series, and the story continues as the story has its roots in an eponymous series of light novels. Also, there is a manga adaptation.
The light novel series consists of 24 volumes, and the television adaptation managed to cover just five of them. This certainly means that there is enough content and material for at least two more seasons. The good news here is that Hitsuji, the author, manages to issue two to three volumes a year. The last novel that was published was on June 18, 2021. Therefore, we still have time and, hopefully, material in our hands to see more of the series.
It is also important to consider that Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records got incredible numbers and reviews from fans. This anime scored 7.13/10 from 424,640 votes on MyAnimeList. On IMDb, the fantasy series has a rating of 7.0/10. Not just that, the show also got five stars from the viewers of FUNimation.
