Fairy Ranmaru is a magical boy anime series that aired in the spring of 2021. The anime series, which has original content, is not a series adapted from a manga or a light novel, unlike what we are used to from other anime. The anime series directed by Kōsuke Kobayashi and Masakazu Hishida originally aired on AT-X, Tokyo MX, Japanese local channels and was also listed by Crunchyroll. Fairy Ranmaru was created by Studio Comet, who most recently appeared with RobiHach, another original anime series in 2019. The season, which lasted for 12 episodes, met with the audience weekly between April 8, 2021 – June 24, 2021. Viewers who love the series now wonder if there will be a second season. Let’s remember the anime and take a look at all the known ones.
What is the plotline of Fairy Ranmaru: Anata no Kokoro Otasuke Shimasu?
In a world where negative emotions permeate everyone, five fairies from the strongest clans travel to Earth to collect “attachment” to make the world better. Fairies have to protect their true identity. To successfully complete their mission, they set up Bar F and mingle with humans. They live their lives as high school students. Also, they are bartenders as a profession. While the fairies are with humans, they are forbidden from romance, wrath, envy, apathy, lust, violence, hedonism, degeneracy, pride, and liberation. Our main characters meet a variety of female customers at Bar F. Each of them has a different story and has negative feelings in their hearts. Our heroes want to help people with dark hearts to overcome their troubles. They do not ask for any money. But nothing is given unconditionally in this world. The reward for this helpful service is to have the hearts of the customers. While the fairies investigate the causes of their clients’ inner problems, they encounter someone who wants to spread evil. Now, their duty has become even more difficult. They must find out who this villain is and pursue their plans in secrecy.
Will there be a second season of the anime?
Studio Comet or any related company with the anime has not yet renewed the anime for a second season. It has not been a long time since the release of the first season of the anime. Therefore, it may be early to see a new season confirmation. However, some known metrics shed light on whether we will see a new season of Fairy Ranmaru in the future. Season renewals of anime are largely dependent on some major factors. At the end of our review, we cannot say that we are very hopeful for a new season confirmation of the series.
Since the anime is not a manga or light novel adaptation, the source material is not important for a new season. If the anime can give the audience and producers what they want, a new season can be prepared for a new season without being linked to a manga. But if there is something more important, it is popularity.
As you can imagine, animes are for-profit productions, and what Fairy Ranmaru brings to its producers is important for a new season decision. When we look at the popularity of anime on social media, we cannot see that there is a strong audience behind it. Fairy Ranmaru, who remained underrated, also failed to achieve success in disc sales. The anime, which will sell six-volume discs in total, sold only 299 units in the first volume, which is well below targets. On the other hand, the official page of the anime on Twitter is followed by only 10 thousand people. (This is quite low compared to other average animes. Finally, there is no strong worldwide search volume for anime in Google searches. It seems that a new season of the anime is quite risky in terms of financially. To be honest, and unfortunately, we don’t think there will be a new season of the anime.
Despite this, although the probability of a new season is quite low, it exists for every anime. If there is a surprise, we may see a new anime season in the coming years, but it won’t be before 2023. Stay tuned.
