Sabikui Bisco Season 2 Release Date

Season 1 of ‘Sabikui Bisco’ premiered on January 11, 2022 and ended on March 29, 2022. The anime consists of 12 episodes, each with a running time of approximately 21-25 minutes. As for the future of the series, here’s everything we know so far.

Studio OZ has not yet renewed ‘Sabikui Bisco’ for a new episode. In addition, other companies involved in the production and distribution of the show have remained silent so far. When it comes to anime refreshes, one of the most critical factors is the availability of source material. ‘Sabikui Bisco’ has so far covered only four of the eight volumes of Shinji Cobkubo’s light novel series.

So there is still enough material for a next episode. Moreover, the anime also has a good overall rating on several credible online platforms, which means that most of the fans liked the series and of course would like it to return with a new season. It’s worth noting, however, that the total viewership so far has been frankly disappointing. Assuming the show’s popularity increases in the coming months, the series will most likely be renewed for another episode soon.

The estimated production cycle of the first episode was about 9-10 months. With COVID-19 no longer a major factor, hopefully production will run smoothly with no delays. With the above factors considered, one can reasonably conclude that ‘Sabikui Bisco’ Season 2 will premiere sometime. early 2024†
