Assassins Pride Season 2: Whether There Will Be Another Round?
In October, we have been witnessing the premiere of the anime adaptation of a popular Japanese light novel series titled Assassins Pride. Those fans who have seen at least one episode are no doubt wondering whether there will be a Season 2 of the fantasy anime? No words have been said on the subject of renewal as of yet. Nonetheless, it's clear to us that Assassins Pride Season 2 is due to happen, and below we are going to explain why we believe so.
The first thing which is evident is that the 1st season of the anime adaptation consists of only twelve episodes. But those of you who read the original light novel series are aware of that it contains eleven volumes. The latest, 11th volume was issued on October 19, 2019, right after the series premiere, and thereby couldn't be included in the current television adaptation, by no way! But honestly, we doubt that the current 12-episode season covers even five volumes.
Are we right or wrong, we will see. However, even if we are wrong, we have at least one additional volume for a sophomore television adaptation. Looks like that Assassins Pride Season 1 will be split into two cours of 12 episodes each. By the way, even if Assassins Pride Season 1 contained 24 episodes, we doubt that it might cover the entire amount of source material.
Next, let's take a look how viewers evaluated the anime. According to MyAnimeList, Assassins Pride Season 1 holds a score of 6.89 based on over 8,800 votes. We can't thereby regard Assassins Pride as a top rated anime, but still the rating is above average.
Finally, the BD/DVD sales might shed the light on the future of the media franchise. And the good news that the 1st print is on the way. The BD issue will be available on December 20, 2019, according to the official website of the anime, by the price of ¥ 15400 (Tax included).
Summing up, even despite that we are looking forward to the BD/DVD sales data in order to expand our forecast, it's clear to us that Assassins Pride Season 2 is just a matter of time. The only thing which plays not in favor of renewal is EMT Squared, the studio that has no anime with a second season to date. But we hope that Assassins Pride would become an exception to the rule. We are tracking down all the official reports which arrive from the EMT Squared studio on the subject of Assassins Pride Season 2. Once the studio announces any certain data, we will update this page.
Assassins Pride Season 2 Release Date
As we have mentioned above, Assassins Pride Season 2 is yet to be announced. But we nonetheless don't rule of the positive resolution from the EMT Squared studio, and even sure in the decision on renewal. But when should we expect the Assassins Pride Season 2 premiere in such a case? Well, it's not an easy question, honestly. But still, if the 1st installment of the anime covers only half of the source material, and we're sure of this, we might expect Assassins Pride Season 2 already next fall, in October 2020. Otherwise, the production could last for a year or even more, and we thereby won't see Assassins Pride Season 2 earlier than in 2021-22. However, we don't think that the waiting will last so long.
But guys, please bear in mind that we are looking forward to the official announcement, and thereby all the data presented above are nothing but out forecast. As soon as the EMT Squared studio announce their decision on renewal or cancelation of the anime series or sets a specific release date for Assassins Pride Season 2, we will update this section. So guys, stay tuned for updates. We will keep you informed.
Assassins Pride Summary

The city is split into blocks surrounded by glass domes. The transfer between the blocks is possible thanks to a variety of glass tunnels. Meanwhile, the world outside the domes is completely hostile, and is inhabited by the monsters.
However, not everyone is capable of fighting them, unless noblemen, who posses the superpower called mana.
