The anime Land of the Lustrous, also known as “Houseki no Kuni,” was adapted from a Japanese manga by Haruko Ichiwaka. The manga, which has been in circulation for ten years, attracted a respectable number of readers in Japan and abroad, leading to its quick adaptation into an anime. The task of bringing it to the big screen for anime fans was taken on by Studio Orange, known for Black Bullet and Beasters. On October 7, 2017, the Japanese TV network broadcast the debut episode of the first season. The final episode of the season, which had 12 episodes overall, aired on December 13, 2017. Action, drama, and fantasy with a pinch of mystery were the overarching themes of the Sienen anime. As of right now, 168,492 users have given it a total score of 8.40, which is impressive for a fantasy anime.
So what about this program appealed to the audience so much? Will there be a new season given how well-liked it was but how long ago it was broadcast? If so, then when?
The anime is a compelling examination of a character who aspires to both physical and psychological change.
Land Of The Lustrous Season 2 Release Date
Considering the ongoing manga from which the anime is adapted and the time last season was aired, we know that there is quite a lot of material for anime creators to adapt to the second season.
According to critics, if there are no updates on the new season by the end of 2022, it may never happen. This is surprising considering how well-known anime was and how many manga books were sold across the globe. So why is that the case? Even though the anime had a large Netflix audience, it did not have the same lasting impact as other works by Studio Orange, such as Beasters. In essence, the success of the new Beasters season determines whether the season will survive. In other words, if it succeeds in turning a healthy profit on the market, the studio will start work on Land Of The Lustorous Season 2.

Land Of The Lustrous Season 2 Story
The first season introduced us to the “bodies” and their survival and treatment in the story. In the Land of the Lustrous, they are revered as holy totems. Their gender is completely removed in order to transform them into their purest form, and they are given gem names to refer to them, like our protagonists, Alexandrite and Phosphophyllite. The gems are constantly surrounded by enormous negative spaces, emphasizing how important their aesthetic value and vibrant color are to the desolate world they grace. The gems still have a fear for their lives even though they are immortal. They will remain imprisoned in their bodies forever if they are broken and rendered immobile.
In the next season, we expect to see more of the mysteries surrounding gems and how they will survive the cruel world while making their lives comfortable.
