Fans of the anime series must be familiar with the title BNA or “BNA: Brand New Animal“. This anime aired in 2020. The relatively good rating makes the fans hope that there will be a BNA season 2.
Do you think there will be a continuation season for this BNA anime? Let’s get the full answer by reading this article to the end.
Will There Be a BNA Season 2?
Article Update on June 8, 2024
Before being produced in anime form, BNA was originally a Light Novel series. The light novel is a work created by Natsume Akatsuki. Meanwhile, the anime is produced by Trigger studio.
Even though the BNA anime series which was released on April 5, 2020 – June 28 2020 ended in 1 season and with a total of 12 episodes.
The fact is that the stories in the manga series are continuing to this day. This raises hopes for a sequel or BNA season 2.
There are several logical reasons why BNA anime fans hope for the release of the sequel. The following is a summary of some of the reasons.
1. Popularity and Good Rating
One indicator of the success of an anime series is ratings and popularity. If the rating is high, it means that the anime is really good and worth watching.
This Isekai, Action, Comedy, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi anime genre attracts a large number of viewers. Even people who haven’t watched anime before are interested.
Based on the MyAnimeList site, BNA received a rating of 7.36 out of 10. This high rating and popularity seem to be enough of a strong reason to make a sequel.
2. Sufficient Material Resources
Rating and popularity will not be able to encourage a production studio to make a sequel if the story material is finished. But the BNA Light Novel still has enough story to make a sequel.
3. High Sales Figures in All Sectors
The last reason that can be considered for making a sequel to an anime is its fantastic sales figures.
If manga sales, anime DVDs, and earnings from various streaming platforms show positive results, then it is very likely that the anime will get another season.
With good sales figures, automatically the author and production studio get big profits. This could also be the impetus for a sequel. There is greater profit potential from the continued season.
When Will BNA Season 2 be Released?
Even though there have been several strong reasons until now there has been no official statement from the production studio or manga author regarding BNA season 2.
So, until now it is still in the form of speculation.
BNA anime lovers are still very optimistic and have high hopes for the release of the next season.
Let’s look forward to it together, hopefully, there will be an official statement soon from the parties involved in this one anime project.

Summary
The conclusion that can be drawn from the explanation above is that there is still a possibility for BNA season 2 in the future.
This is because there is still sufficient stock of story material and the response from the audience is also positive.
But the anime production process certainly takes a long time. So, launching BNA season 2 might not be done shortly.
While waiting for the next season to be released, it’s a good idea to read the main series of Light Novels, to refresh and get other exciting details that are usually cut or not in the anime series, given the duration.
