If Studio Satelight approves season 2 of the anime version of Black Summoner, there is an abundance of source material to draw from, know the release date of episode 1
Today marks the conclusion of a new batch of anime series, including Aoashi, Teppen, Engage Kiss, Lycoris Recoil, and Black Summoner.
With Overlord and Uncle From Another World perhaps being the better Isekai choices this slate. The latter series, Black Summoner, has somewhat gone unnoticed on the 2022 Summer lineup.
Black Summoner Anime Season 2 Update, Episode 1 Release Date, Rating, Plot Story
However, there is still a growing fan base out there that has persevered with Black Summoner throughout its first season. And is eagerly anticipating what the future will bring. What are the possibilities that Black Summoner will continue with a second production. Despite the fact that season 2 has not yet been officially announced before the publication of episode 12?
Episode 12 of Black Summoner: Release Date and Time

“After defeating the Trisen’s mixed magical beastmen, Kelvin and his crew were under attack from the formidable General Clive of the Trisen Magic Knights when he unexpectedly materialised. Clive summons a disaster-class magic as Kelvin and Clive continue their ferocious back-and-forth combat. – Episode 12 Story of the Black Summoner, from the official website.
SECOND SEASON RENEWAL STATUS FOR BLACK SUMMONER
As previously said, Studio Satelight has not yet announced that Black Summoner will return for a second season. What are the possibilities that the anime does indeed go on another journey before the series finale?
The good news is that after episode 12 airs later today, there should be enough source material left to create a second Black Summoner anime season. All indications are that the first season of the show will last to the end of light novel volume 3.
There may be enough source material for six whole 12-episode animation seasons because as of September 2022, 17 complete Tankobon volumes have been published in Japan.
THE POPULARITY
A troubling issue has been introduced, though: Black Summoner might not be well-liked enough to warrant a second anime season.
With only slightly more than 20,000 reviews, the series is now receiving a 7.4/10 on IMDB, 3.8/5 on Anime Planet, 70% on Anilist, and 7.12/10 on MyAnimeList. It has clearly struggled to garner any major traction over the 2022 Summer slate.
Although I don’t mind that the characters are uninteresting and stereotyped, the show itself is ultimately uninteresting. Contrary to most isekai, there is no power development. He merely acquires powers primarily offscreen. You only get to watch him employ the abilities the writers claim he possesses. The MC does not have a purpose that the audience can identify with. The characters aren’t interesting enough to qualify as slice-of-life characters. – A MAL user review.
THE RATINGS OF THE SHOW
These ratings are by no means a death sentence, but they are unimpressive given that the Black Summoner series is currently being renewed. It’s doubtful whether the anime production committee will order Black Summoner to be renewed for a second season, as stated by AnimeGeek, who also added that “the deciding factor is the foreign streaming revenue, which might just be barely good enough.”
Studio Satelight, the group behind Black Summoner, presently has no projects publicly confirmed for 2023, which suggests that their calendar may be available for producing season 2 the following year. This is a ray of hope.
We’re crossing our fingers that the home success in Japan is strong enough to counterbalance the only above-average overseas assessments.
Why not watch the first season of Black Summoner if you can’t wait for the upcoming second season?
Only 10 of the 17 light novel volumes that were published in Japan are presently available in English for purchase through Kobo. Seven English-language volumes of the manga adaption are also available for purchase through Kobo.
