A fan asked if the reason behind the lack of a second season had to do with the difference between the anime’s ending and the ending of the light novel series. But, Kamiya denies it by saying:
“In a sequel, you can go back in the chronology or even change the story, so that is not the problem.”
- He even clarified that the reason for the difference in the anime’s ending compared to the light novel was due to the director’s wish for an unconventional conclusion.
- He added that the first season’s finale was adapted from Volume 6 of the light novel series, which he had written during the production of the show.
No Game No Life is too good to have a second season
Kamiya’s explanation gives fans an insight into why there hasn’t been a second season of No Game No Life. The issue is not funding, but rather the concern that maintaining the same level of quality as the first season would be challenging.
Studios may have been held back from investing in the project due to this fear, leaving fans waiting for the series to return.
No Game No Life’s Sales and Profits
The first season of No Game No Life Blu-ray sold about 8,800 copies per disc, while the movie sold nearly 45,000 copies. That is quite amazing for an initial season and a movie.

- While the decline in light novel sales may be partly due to digital sales. The majority of it is likely attributed to the long hiatus of the series.
