If an <strong>original anime can generate enough profit, it can easily be greenlit for a second season<\/strong>, as long as the staff members are willing to return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent examples of successful original anime include Lycoris Recoil and <a href=\"https:\/\/animenewsandfacts.com\/category\/sk8-the-infinity\/\">SK8 the Infinity<\/a>, which <strong>were renewed for a sequel project after a successful run. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original anime projects also provide creators with enough flexibility to bring back series that had concluded, such as Code Geass which is getting a new anime sequel despite its original controversial ending (which was changed in the alternative reality movie Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection) and the Rebuild of Evangelion which brings back our favourite depressed and traumatized characters from the original series with a new teenage pilot and more christen etymology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion with<strong> Original anime, you don&#8217;t have to worry about source material which is good news for the fans of Engage Kiss<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, with <strong>Engage Kiss<\/strong>, the team doesn&#8217;t even have to think too hard, as they can easily adapt the story from the upcoming mobile game <strong>&#8220;Engage Kill,&#8221; which officially acts as a sequel to the anime series. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u65b0\u4f5c\u30b9\u30de\u30db\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3010Engage Kill\u3011\uff08\u30a8\u30f3\u30b2\u30fc\u30b8\u30fb\u30ad\u30eb\uff09\u30aa\u30fc\u30d7\u30cb\u30f3\u30b0\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QafkuPtSffI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Engage Kill mobile game trailer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The game was announced on April 24, 2022, and released in Japan on March 1, 2023, so the Engage Kiss team has plenty of options to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> Lack of source material shouldn&#8217;t be a problem for the series.

In general, if an anime\u2019s disc sales are over 3,000, a second season would be promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for <strong><strong>Engage Kiss<\/strong><\/strong>, the situation looks promising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ahmedm94m\/status\/1577269246752862208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first Blu-ray Volume of Engage Kiss opened at 1,343 units in the first week<\/a>, followed by 1,283 for the second volume.

The protagonist establishes the Rising Sun Military Company and seeks to put a stop to tragedies and to also deal with the curse that has been inflicted on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rising Sun Military Company members include the inhumanly strong Chloe&nbsp;and the clerk Shiho Takenouchi (<strong>Minami Tsuda<\/strong>). Others include Aoi Kotobuki (<strong>Yukiyo Fujii<\/strong>), who has experience serving in a North American PMC; the agile Emilio Romero Alvarez (<strong>Toshiki Masuda<\/strong>), who is well-acquainted with Bayron City\u2019s layout and going-ons; and Noel (<strong>Emiri Iwai<\/strong>), an unsociable half-American half-Indian genius who has an AI-equipped drone called Humpty (<strong>Chikano Ibuki<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Engage Kiss<\/strong> Season 2 <strong>Trailer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is<strong> no&nbsp;trailer for <strong>Engage Kiss<\/strong> Season 2 <\/strong>available yet to watch, but we will update this page if one gets released on their official youtube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, here\u2019s a trailer for the first season, which you should watch to recall how memorable the previous one was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Engage Kiss Official Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4WUZ_ncxOd0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Words<\/strong> !!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, there is a good chance that<strong> <strong><strong>Engage Kiss<\/strong><\/strong> Season 2 will happen.&nbsp;<\/strong>If that is the case, we should hear some news about it this year.
