The new Zenshu anime TV series may have a 7.30 rating on MyAnimeList.net, but it is unclear if the anime will get a season 2 despite it’s popularity. Fans have been eagerly discussing the possibility, with many hoping for an official announcement from the studio. While strong viewership and merchandise sales could boost its chances, the final decision will likely depend on production schedules and overall profitability. With that being said, let’s take a look at what we know.
Zenshu Season 2… a Possibility?
As of March 21, 2025, Zenshu fans are still holding their breath for news about a second season, but so far, the studio has kept things hush-hush. The first season, which kicked off on January 5, 2025, is set to wrap up with its 12th episode on March 23, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
But don’t lose hope just yet! It’s totally normal for anime studios to take their time before announcing a renewal, especially as they gauge the show’s popularity and success. In the meantime, fans are buzzing with theories, wishful thinking, and a little bit of nervous anticipation. Will we get another season? Only time will tell!
A thread in the Zenshu subreddit have fan speculating if there will be a season 2 or not. “I pray for a season 2 but I am 90% sure there wont be one. They are gonna wrap it up in the next episodes,” says one of them.
For now, keep an eye on official channels and trusted news sources for any exciting updates. Fingers crossed for more Zenshu magic in the future!
