The series adapts the drawn. There have been ten volumes published between January 2009 and February 2015. A began publishing in July 2015 titled Kekkai Sensen: Back 2 Back.Source:News submitted byon MAL. The director of the second season will be Shigehito Takayanagi (Dagashi Kashi) while Yasuko Kamo (Tokyo ESP) will be in charge of the script.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.This director is bad, horribly bad. His best equals 'barely mediocre' and it is nowhere near the level of talent of Matsumoto Rie. Hell the majority of appeal of Kekkai Sensen was just how damn well Rie was directing it.To replace her with the dude who did such 'masterpieces' as The World God Only Knows and Tokyo ESP is MINDBOGGLINGLY STRANGE.The writer is also horribly bad too because they wrote absolutely NOTHING of note and what they wrote was mediocre.This will be worse than Garo Crimson Moon, Berserk 2016 and ufoubw put together:Bones why you do this? YOu had such a great streak of nearly perfect shows(baring boku hero but then again that was shonen manga adaptation).

This is one of your BEST SELLING franchises and you give it THIS STAFF??? Why are people making a big fuss over the new director and screenwriter?
Director Shigehito Takayanagi not only worked on Dagashi Kashi, but the Trigun anime adaptation as well.(by same mangaka) if you guys bothered to clicked on his name. This might actually end up being a reboot, which would be sooo much better than a season 2. XDDagashi Kashi was awful directing-wise. It was okay for 'short comedy skits' nonsense but the show was still stale as hell.He also worked on The World God Only Knows which also looked like an ass.And Tokyo ESP which, guessed it, looked like complete ass.He worked on few Trigun episodes, but that is literally themost positive thing he has on his resume. THe rest is absolute ass.
Its hard to think of another director this bad that quick. Tsutomu Misuzhima(when he tries to be serious)? I am really drawing blank at worse possibilities beyond that.The new writer is also no better. The only way this could be worse is if this was written by Mari Okada.Matsumoto Rie on other hand was complete goddess of directing.
Her work is huge reason why Kekkai Sensen was such a masterpiece as it had truly creative cinematography, interesting and unique transition sequences and great choreography. And it all gelled just well with perfect soundtrack. I'm skeptical about this by a ton, and these are my reasons:The good thing: We're getting a second season which opens up newer content towards the series and well a friend of mine is hoping they'll pretty much handle the series further, as he's a manga reader.The bad thing or the more worried thing: The director and script writer change is pretty awkward but at the same time skeptical. Which dumbass got rid of the previous director? If the anime did so well why get rid of her was it b/c of the episode delays?Okay so how bad is this new director? Y'all exaggerating or whtAs far as I am concerned he's not THAT bad, he's actually a hit or miss in my honest opinion.The PROBLEM though is the script writer which he previously worked with Dagashi Kashi (which isn't a problem but here's the real problem) and Tokyo ESP (which was by far the most disappointing show I've seen from the entire year 2014, even hearing my friend saying that the manga was butchered ticked me off).
That's MOSTLY the problem around honestly, at least for me.Not to mention that it will probably not bring the same feel as the first season due to the directing as well with the details, it was unique in its own way and because of this we won't have that sense of uniqueness that the show brought.

If the anime did so well why get rid of her was it b/c of the episode delays?Okay so how bad is this new director? Y'all exaggerating or whtThe common theory is that the director herself decided to split over the script writer change.They would not fire a director of the show that sold this much.Alas now there's a big chance I won't even touch this second season as it is bound to suck.Can you explain about that theory further so I can get a bit to that? If you don't mind explaining abit of that.

Just curious. Which dumbass got rid of the previous director? If the anime did so well why get rid of her was it b/c of the episode delays?Okay so how bad is this new director?

I think this is just a.matter of some cocky production comittee thinking that 'It's a success not because the director' and just decide to change it for whatever reason they have.It would be hillaruous if this become a flop exactly because the director change, that would teach them a pretty good life lesson.

Bones isnt in a postion to be cocky since the company isnt doing well financially. Which dumbass got rid of the previous director?

Except for few examples in the anime industry I mean, some series did that and ya know what? It can go on.If you mean staff members, I dunno. Most of them would either continue to do the same thing or just proves that they aren't a mistake or something.Hey at least it's not Katsuhiko Takayama at least (aka Mr. Trainwreck of all Trainwrecks and I dislike him at most, except for Ef: Tales of Memories and Ange Vierge, which Vierge was average but it was probably better off that way).
