![]() The story actually does better when it’s getting serious. Even with that labor-intensive method, the plot for the first half still ended up being a love triangle between two walking anime girl tropes representing yandere and codependency and a guy who lands somewhere on the unlikability scale between Rent-A-Girlfriend’s Kazuya Kinoshita and the total scumbag named Michio Kaga in Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World. Maruto apparently wrote the entire story only to rework it completely from Episode 2 after receiving negative feedback from the producer. Of course, they are not just ‘no good.’ They all have their good points, but they are all fundamentally no good.”Īnd with that element in mind, Maruto proceeded to flesh out the scenario. I suggested that if that was the case, why not just make everyone ‘no good,’ including the main character Shu, and solidify the direction of the project?” Kashiwada explained. Marudo and I talked about the characters in this project, all of them were ‘no good in some way. The writer pitched several ideas related to “demons” and “memory” being the keywords, but A-1 Pictures producer Shinichiro Kashiwada felt that something was missing until Maruto suggested that “all the characters are bad/hopeless people”. In an interview published on the official website, Maruto explained that he was asked to do the project shortly after finishing work on Saekano. How else are we to explain why the Engage Kiss review scores have been relatively low for a TV show with good production values and well-animated fight scenes? But it turns out that making the characters purposefully trashy was by design. Since Project Engage is supposed to be a franchise the self-contained story of the first season didn’t kill off anyone too important or destroy the entire city for that matter (RIP Shu’s aparement), but the biggest obstacle to having Engage Kiss renewed for a second season is the likability, or lack thereof, of the main protagonists in Engage Kiss Season 1. The title of Engage Kiss Episode 13 was literally called “Unresolve Grand Finale”, which cheekily teases a second season if anything. In the meantime, it’s possible to speculate about when, or if, the Engage Kiss 2 release date will occur in the future.Īn Engage Kiss sequel is apparently possible since the story writers left an open door for a continuation. ![]() Once the news is officially confirmed this article will be updated with the relevant information. Nor has the production of an Engage Kiss sequel been announced. (The Date A Live Season 5 anime TV show was confirmed to be in production back in June 2022.)Īs of the last update, Studio A-1 Pictures, producer Aniplex of America, Square Enix, or any company related to the production of the anime has not officially confirmed the Engage Kiss Season 2 release date. Date A Live illustrator Tsunako is the character designer. ![]() The main staff of the anime production included notables such as the main writer Fumiaki Maruto, the creator of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend. This Engage Kill OP trailer was created by Studio A-1 Pictures. So it’s also possible the Engage Kiss special event in January 2023 will be focused on the game, not an anime announcement. (See below for more details about the books and game.) Yes, there is an Engage Kiss manga and even an RPG mobile game by Square Enix called Engage Kill!, but the manga is adapting the anime as part of the mixed media Project Engage, not the other way around. The main issue with renewing the story is that the Engage Kiss anime TV series is an original story. It’s also having a special event in 2023 and it’s possible that Lycoris Recoil Season 2, a movie, or an OVA episode could be announced.) The ending of Engage Kiss Episode 13 include a cameo of the Engage Kill characters. (On a semi-related note, the Lycoris Recoil anime is also an anime original story produced by Aniplex and A-1 Pictures. Keep in mind that the official title could also be referred to as Engage Kiss Part 2 rather than as a second season since it’s essentially a split-cour anime. ![]() Special guests include Soma Saito (role of Shu Ogata), Saya Aizawa (role of Kisara), Lynn (Ayano Yugiri) ), Rumi Okubo (Sharon Holy Grail), and Akari Kitou (Kanna Ogata). According to the official website, a special event in Tokyo is planned for that date and some of the creators and cast will be involved. Given all that corroborating evidence, it really is possible that something could be announced on January 7, 2023. bilibili also tagged the anime as still being “ongoing” despite the supposed finale having come out already. What’s more, after Episode 13 was released streaming service bilibili was still listing the Engage Kiss Episode 26 as the ending. ![]()
