Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash Season 2 Release Date

The first season ended with Haruhiro narrowly escaping death after defeating the death spot. That final episode is said to have received more views than it ever had. It had taken the fans through certain struggles faced by Haruhiro as he was busy flirting with danger. When the series came to an end the fan base grew from approximately twenty percent to more than eighty percent from the beginning. For this reason, from the year 2016, there had been talks as people were expecting the official announcement to take place at the time. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen till this moment and the specific reason behind this is unknown. Moreover, there are other certain shows which were stopped at no point of return when it was lit up between the fans. The reason behind these sorts of incidents starts from financial problems to personal dislikes from the production team.
Nevertheless every year different rumors pop up from thin air and dilute without even being given a chance to think logically. The light novel which was the genesis of the show had plenty more stories to tell from the place where the anime stopped. Therefore, sooner or later there is a possibility of the series coming back to the track up and running. However, there is only the slightest possibility that the show may be released in 2022. If that manages to happen then it would come by the end of the last quarter and most probably after the first half of 2023.
