No Game No Life It was one of those isekai that came before the genre exploded as we know it today. Released in 2014 under the production of madhousequickly became a phenomenon among fans, to the point of inspiring the successful prequel in theaters in 2017 No Game No Life: Zero. However, since then, absolute silence: 11 years later, we still have no news of a second season.
A success that was never continued
The strangest thing is that No Game No Life It was not canceled due to lack of popularity. The franchise sold well, the fandom embraced it, and the original material Yuu Kamiya (light novels and manga) still had stories to tell. The problem was another: the author's slowness to publish new novels due to creative blocks and health problems, which left the production without immediate material to adapt.
The movie, better than the series
The tape No Game No Life: Zero was received even more enthusiastically than the television anime, reducing the fanservice and focusing on the plot. This reinforced the idea that there was a lot of narrative potential in the franchise, but Madhouse did not move again. The result is that the work remained frozen in the fans' memories as a great unfulfilled promise.
A possible return?
Cases like that of bleach or even Panty & Stocking They show that it is never too late for a revival. The most realistic option would be to No Game No Life return in film format, as franchises such as Kimetsu no Yaiba. Adapting the remaining volumes with this format could reactivate the saga and give it a worthy closure.
And now the question: do you think No Game No Life Can it still come back after more than a decade, or is it already too late? I read them in comments.
