‘Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress’ or ‘Kōtetsujō no Kabaneri’ is a Japanese Anime series that is produced by Wit Studio and directed by Tetsurō Araki. Ichirō Ōkouchi writes it, and Hiroyuki Sawano gives the music score. The anime premiered in Japan on the Fuji TV network on April 8, 2016, and the finale aired on June 30, 2016. The show had a total of 12 episodes, and it was also streamed on Amazon. Apart from that, two compilation movies were released throughout Japan’s theaters on December 31, 2016, and January 7, 2017. Many of the series’ fans were hoping that the second season of the series would air or at least be announced in 2018, but it looks like the studio had some other plans. Rather than announcing any details about the second season, Wit Studio released a trailer for the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress movie titled ‘Koutetsujou no Kabaneri: Unato Kessen.’ But the good news here is that the announcement also hinted that a brand new volume has also been put in place for the series, and that could very well mean another season or a movie is in the order. So, without further ado, here is everything you need to know about the second season of ‘Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress.’
Will ‘Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress’ Return With Season 2?
Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress’ first season turned out to be a major success for Wit Studio, earning the show the 2016 Newtype Anime Awards for Best TV Anime. The anime has received a lot of praise from both fans and critics alike, making it extremely popular. Despite having a dedicated and patient fan base eagerly awaiting its return, there is a good chance that the show might not be renewed for a second season. This is because the anime is an original creation and is not based on any pre-existing source material. However, fans need not worry too much as the franchise has remained active with the release of three movies after the first season.
