noo... so far away!

[The Green One]

Ah well, perhaps they can take the extra time to polish the animation.

Maybe its so far because the Manga is still quite behind compared to the plot covered in Anime Season 1.

...or possibly make the second series two-cour, which is preferable IMO given what I envision would be the perfect season finale story line.

Bofuri is actually based on a web/light novel, not a manga, with the eleventh volume just coming out this weekend. To put into terms about where the story currently is: the anime will be at chapter 129 of the web novel when the second season starts, whereas the the most recent chapter of that is chapter 364.

Given that they announced the second season right after the first one finished, it is surprising it won't air until 2022. It's still not that bad though.

Not really, when you consider that when it came to another show by the same studio, Non Non Biyori, there was a two-year period between the announcement of a third season and the season actually airing.

[FlareKnight]

Well it is good to know when this is coming. I did think Bofuri lost some momentum in the second half compared to the first. But maybe after another year away from it then I'll be more hyped for Maple's ridiculous antics .

I know that Bofuri has WN/LN along with the Manga adaptation.

What i was talking about was the "main reason" behind an Anime adaptation.
Which is for the promotion and boosting of sale of LN and Manga.

That's why while most of the time, when a Series is adapted for the first time, they don't really care about the plot coverage gap between the Anime and the Manga, since its for promotion purpose (there is never a gap like that in the case of the LN, so there is no worry there).

But once subsequent Season for a Series gets green signal, they try to either delay the release of the Anime or release more chapters so that the Manga adaptation is able to either catch-up or surpass the plot covered by the Anime, in order to avoid affecting the sales of Manga Volumes.

For example, during when "Tensei Slime Season 1" was airing, the Manga at one point was slightly behind the Anime plot covered. But in order to avoid the Anime to surpass the plot coverage, they released 2 chapters back-to-back for a few months, so that the Manga adaptation match the point of ending of Season 1 (this was done after midway in the series, after the green signal for Season 2 giving to the team).

season 1 feels fine, but yeah.. maybe they can give us an even better quality show this time.

That's not a good example because Slime is a bit of a special case where the adaptation is actually (for the most part) based on the manga rather than the LN, seeing how it was Kodansha and not Micromagazine/GC Novels who started the anime project. Not to mention the official website even lists the manga version as the "original source".

Bofuri on the other hand is the usual case where the manga and anime are both just separate adaptations of the LN, though I guess the anime committee probably has its own share of representatives for the manga too to ensure that manga sales are being considered as well, but they are probably not the ones with the greatest say in the anime committee.

I don't think the manga has anything to do with Bofuri being delayed until next year. As mentioned, the manga and anime adaptations of the LN are two different things, with the manga being behind the anime due to a combination of it incorporating elements that the anime cut (making it more faithful to the LN) and the fact that chapters only come out once a month.

Personally, I feel the delay of Bofuri to next year is more to do with the studio being busy with other products (i.e. another season of Non Non Biyori) and COVID causing some slowdown when it comes to production.

[Last Sinner]

Welp...looks like it is Jan 2023 in the end...

Either they're dodging that shounen barrage or there's in-house issues.

Key art for the new season.

Seeing that really made my day, as it means the second season will cover the layer/event that I really wanted to see get animated.
