An anime with no second season, despite it being good, is something that anime fandoms usually despise the most. This has become a recurring theme recently as almost 50 anime series get released each season, and only 1-2% of those receive a sequel adaptation.
To receive a sequel adaptation, the series should be well-received amongst the fandom. It also needs to see an increase in sales for the source material of this anime along with the schedule of the production team. It also needs the voice actors to be free for the upcoming year so that there could be some planning done for the sequel.
Sadly, there are a lot of anime with no second season adaptations. Some of these include popular series that are well received amongst the fandom but are still branded an anime with no second season adaptation.
