86 Season 2 is definitely gonna happen, it's just gonna take time and patience

I just wanted to put my thoughts out here, seeing all the new anime announcements from awhile ago and to today at Anime Expo.

Light Novel series that get adapted into anime tend to take much longer, years even, between seasons. Popular examples include: Oregairu, Konosuba, Re:ZERO, Overlord, Devil is a Part-timer, Reincarnated as a Slime, Tanya the Evil, SAO, etc. just to name a few.

And on top of that, it's revealed today that A-1 Pictures is pairing with composer Sawano again but to make the Solo Leveling anime. This just means they've got projects lined up to produce. My bold guess is that A-1 and Sawano will work on 86 S2 once they're done with Solo Leveling S1. Additionally, with that amount of time passed, LN sales of 86 may be high enough to greenlight more seasons.

Patience, and Glory to the Motherfuckin' Spearhead Squadron.
