If you love games and fantasy anime, Infinite Dendrogram should be familiar to you. Released in 2020, this anime series garnered a lot of fans during the pandemic. Akin to many other anime series, infinite Dendrogram follows the story of a light novel by Sakon Kaidō. Its first season lasted for four months from January to April.
Infinite Dendrogram was first aired on several local channels such as AT-X, BS11, Tokyo MX, and SUN before beginning airing on Hulu TV. The plot is interesting and engaging and as a result, many fans are still hoping for Infinite Dendrogram Season 2.
Considering the fact that the first season aired two years ago, it could be time for a second season.
What Was The Plot of Infinite Dendrogram?
Infinite Dendrogram is a story about a virtual game set in 2043. One of the most incredible features of this game is that it can stimulate all five senses of its players. As a result, the demand for the virtual game kept increasing progressively.
Reiji Mukudori, a college freshman, gets the game two years later and gets taken into an infinite version of the Dendrogram. With help from his girlfriend Embryo and brother (an experienced player) Shuu, he explores this virtual reality.
Is There A Second Season Of Infinite Dendrogram?
Currently, there is no information about a second season of Infinite Dendrogram. The Studio Naz and author of the light novel series has also not mentioned anything about the release of a second season. Hence, there is no specific answer to your question but there are some ways to ascertain the probability of a season two.
There are several factors that need to be evaluated before a second season of an anime series can get approval. The availability of a source material, in this case the light novel series, and the popularity of the anime series.
The Light Novel Series As a Source Material For The Anime Series
Infinite Dendrogram was created from the light novel series by Sakon Kaidō. It was illustrated by Taiki and has 17 volumes in total which is great for the release of several episodes. Even better, the novel series is still ongoing and the last volume was released on the 1st of November, 2021. Since the first season of the anime was released in 2016, there’s over 5 years of material waiting to be adapted.
The first season of the anime series covered only 5 volumes of the novel which means there’s more than enough source material for two extra seasons.
The Anime’s Popularity
Another essential piece to the puzzle is the popularity of the anime. Every studio needs to ensure an anime series is profitable before they invest more money into a second season.
Infinity Dendrogram does not only air on local channels, it is also distributed by Funimation and Hulu. Thus, allowing it to reach a global audience but for some reason, this reach didn’t have a positive impact on the popularity of the anime. As a result, it is part of the less searched anime series on Google.
Also, the official account of the anime has only 10k followers which is extremely low for other shows that have had a season renewal. Many anime series have over 400k followers on Twitter. As for disc sales, Infinite Dendrogram has sold only 405 units since April of 2020. Unfortunately, this is another low statistic, as the average disc sale for most anime series is 4000 units.
As a result, It might be a struggle for the studio to invest in a second season. But, the good news is that the anime isn’t canceled yet.
When Is The Release Date For Infinite Dendrogram Season 2?
A release date for Infinite Dendrogram season 2 has not been transmitted yet. Despite the fact that there is enough source material for a second season, the performance of the first season wasn’t the best. With the sales and popularity being below average, the chances of a second season are low. However, it isn’t canceled yet so there might be some hope for a second season.
