There isn’t many political anime series that tackle contentious issues like suicide, but Babylon is one of them. Instead of focusing exclusively on the moral considerations surrounding suicide, the anime depicts the economic impact that it may have on an economy. This is one of the primary reasons for the disapproval of some.
The anime’s tendency to reveal a large number of stories at once is a third source of confusion for many viewers.
Even while the scope of its riddles and ideas might be overwhelming at times, the speed with which it accomplishes so much is astounding. If you haven’t seen Babylon yet, I strongly recommend that you do so immediately. It’s one of the finest psychological-thriller animes out there, in my opinion. Here, we’ll talk about the second season of Babylon.
Babylon Season 2 Release Date
Babylon’s first season aired on October 9th, 2019, and concluded on January 28th, 2020 for those who missed it. Anime fans were unfamiliar with this series at first because it was produced by a lesser-known studio. It immediately became one of the year’s top shows. If you’ve been following along, you’re aware that the episode concluded on a high note. When the season one finale concluded, it’s hard to tell if you were satisfied or just left with a peculiar aftertaste. Throughout its runtime, it presented all of the concepts it addressed in such a way that you were left perplexed yet profoundly aware of their significance.
‘Babylon’s’ final episode ends with an unclear and perplexing post-credits sequence. Storylines for anime can be explored in a variety of ways by the show’s producers. A glance back at previous episodes shows that this series’ central topic has always been a contradiction between good and wrong.
Up to the final episode, this concept was explored extensively, and the series’ most significant narrative aspects came full circle before the series ends. The likelihood of another season of “Babylon” is therefore diminished unless the show’s writer makes a significant contribution toward furthering the tale. I expect there to be a lot of negative reactions to the first season since it does not end well. “Babylon,” on the other hand, began off as a thriller before taking a more philosophical turn at the end.
This screams “misdirection” once more, and many spectators will find the movie unsatisfying as a whole if they can’t enjoy all of the individual components.
Because of this, Revoroot Studio is unlikely to make a sequel if the show’s reviews are overwhelmingly poor. This means that a new season of “Babylon” is looking less and less likely. Season 2 of “Babylon” might air in the fall of 2021 if the show’s makers decided to continue it.
