A fan inquired whether the absence of a second season was due to disparities between the anime’s conclusion and the ending of the light novel series.
- He went on to clarify that the discrepancy between the anime’s ending and the light novel was because the director chose an unconventional conclusion for the anime.
- He also explained that the first season’s finale was based on Volume 6 of the light novel series, which he had written while the show was in production.
No Game No Life is too good to have a second season
Kamiya’s explanation sheds light on why there hasn’t been a second season of No Game No Life. It’s not a matter of funding, but rather the challenge of maintaining the same level of quality as the first season. This concern might have deterred studios from investing in the project, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the series’ return.
No Game No Life’s Sales and Profits
The first season of No Game No Life on Blu-ray sold approximately 8,800 copies per disc, while the movie achieved nearly 45,000 copies in sales. These numbers are remarkable for both an initial season and a movie. However, there has been a decline in light novel sales. Volume 10 sold 161,000 copies, but the latest volume, Volume 11, only managed about 70,000 copies. This decrease may be partly due to digital sales, but the main factor is likely the series’ long hiatus.
It’s worth noting that the No Game No Life series has a total of 6,000,000 copies in print, making it one of the top 40 most popular light novel series of all time.
Conclusion
The legacy of No Game No Life, as a creative and imaginative work of fiction, will persist in inspiring and entertaining people worldwide, irrespective of the medium. While it’s true that “All good things must come to an end,” they certainly won’t be forgotten. This concludes everything you need to know about the author’s final response regarding the possibility of No Game No Life Season 2.
