Will There Be a ‘Bunny Girl Senpai’ Season 2? (2024 Update)
The announcement of Season 2 is highly anticipated by fans of the popular psychological drama anime series “Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai” (also known as “Seishun Buta Yarō”). We’ll discuss the chances of a new season and possible release dates even though an official announcement hasn’t been made. Background “Bunny Girl Senpai” adapts Hajime Kamoshida’s light novel series (illustrated by Keiji Mizoguchi). The anime follows Sakuta Azusagawa, whose life changes when he encounters teenage actress Mai Sakurajima inexplicably dressed as a bunny girl—unseen by everyone else. Season 1 and a subsequent movie premiered in 2018 and 2019 respectively, both directed by Souichi Masui and animated by CloverWorks. These installments garnered a devoted fanbase. Will There Be a Season 2? It’s very probable! Here’s why: Season 1’s Success: The first season enjoyed strong Blu-ray sales and merchandise figures. The Film’s Impact: The box office success of “Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl” is another positive sign for the franchise. Source Material: While the author, Hajime Kamoshida, needs to write more light novels for a full new season, the series’ popularity makes this likely. Season 2 seems less of an “if” and more of a “when.” Potential Release Date Since there’s no official confirmation, we can only estimate. With limited source material, we might need to wait a while. A late 2024 or 2025 release is most likely. Stay tuned to the official “Bunny Girl Senpai” Twitter account for updates. To continue the story while we wait, consider reading the light novels – the movie adapts up to Volume 7, so start with Volume 8.
