The viewers of Isekai have so much to catch on everyday it becomes difficult to follow on all their shows. But you don’t have to worry anymore. We at Trending News Buzz have your back. Today we are going to talk about The Ones Within Season 2. The show was released back in 2019, and the manga it is based on is still in the works. But the show hasn’t seen any major announcements since the first season. And fans of the manga and the show are wondering about a second season. So will The Ones Within Season 2 happen? Read on to find out.
The Ones Within: About the Show
The Ones Within is an Isekai anime based on a web manga series by Osara. It was released back in 2019 as an anime adaptation of the original manga material. The show is not really a breath of fresh air in the genre, but it still offers a lot to watch. The story of the show is based around mystery and this is mostly a mystery anime at its core and does not take liberty for innovations.
The story of the anime follows our main protagonist, Akatsuki Iride, an online sensation who is famous for his “Let’s Play” videos. Japan has been undergoing a serious children disappearance problems and without much solution. Things change when Akatsuki plays a magical video game that takes him inside the video game world. This video game world is the same one where all the other kids had disappeared off to. Initially skeptical about the game, Akatsuki was now stuck in the game itself. The show follows the kids and Akatsuki as they battle their innermost fears and dark pasts. It sees them fighting just for a glimmer of hope to complete the game and earn their much desired freedom.
Has Season 2 of “The Ones Within” been renewed?
A second season of The Ones Within (Naka no Hito Genome [Jikkyouchuu]) has not yet been formally confirmed by Studio Silver Link or any of the production partners. The anime community is still optimistic, nevertheless, particularly in light of the show’s cult following and unsolved Season 1 plotlines.
Why Was the Season 2 Announcement Delayed?
The delay could be explained by a number of factors:
- Source Material Progress: Osora’s manga, which is still in progress, served as the basis for the animation. In order to support a new season free of filler material, studios frequently wait for the manga to progress sufficiently.
- Viewer Reaction vs. Production Costs: Although the anime had a devoted following, its reaction around the world was not entirely uniform, which can influence decisions about funding for a subsequent season.
- Studio Prioritization: Due to Silver Link’s hectic production schedule, additional work on this project may be delayed.
Possible Date of “The Ones Within” Season 2’s Release
Production would probably take 12 to 18 months if it were renewed in 2025, delaying the release window until mid- or late 2026. Of course, until there is a formal announcement, this is still just conjecture.
Final Words: The Ones Within Season 2
Given all of the above facts, we would say that the show might be announced late 2022. Given the fact that it has been 2 years since the release of the first season, that is a good estimate. However, a release before late 2022 doesn’t seem plausible for the show. It just would not fit in the timeline. And to be fair, given that the show isn’t that popular, it would come as no surprise if the show isn’t renewed at all.
For those who haven’t watched the first season, they can watch it on Hulu. Alternatively, you might be able to stream it on CrunchyRoll.
The show currently holds a rating of 6.9 on MyAnimeList, our preferred Anime website and the one we trust. It also holds a rating of 6.1 on IMDb.
