Mars Red certainly brought something different to the table when it premiered earlier this year. It had a different creative style that was pretty refreshing. The show’s supernatural horror elements were also great. Moreover, it featured vampires that were more than enough to catch anyone’s attention. Now, fans of this show are eagerly waiting for the return of these vampires in Mars Red Season 2. So, when will its fandom be able to see the sequel? Here is everything to know.
Mars Red is a Japanese action military supernatural anime series. It is loosely based on Bun-O Fujisawa’s stage-reading play of the same name. Studio Signal.MD animated the first season of this show that premiered on April 6, 2021. It ran for a total of thirteen episodes before concluding on June 29, 2021.
Mars Red Season 2: Renewal Status
The storyline of this show’s first season was intriguing, but it has several loopholes as well. It is set in post-World War I Japan, where vampires still exist. The anime featured some good action sequences, but its choreography could be better. As a result, the series got a mixed response and managed to get a mediocre score of 6.65 on MyAnimeList. The great thing is that the popularity of the anime is quite good. This is because it has more than 99K members in its MAL group and will soon touch the 100K mark. Also, the series still has a lot of questions to answer.
Therefore, the chances are great that Mars Red Season 2 will get a renewal in the near future. It is likely that that the makers will take some more time to analyze its performance before giving it the green light.
What Might Happen Next?
In the final episode of its first season, the viewers saw a duel between Shuutarou and Maeda. It ended with the death of Maeda due to exposure to sunlight. On the other hand, Shuutarou accepted his fate and drank Aoi’s blood in order to become a vampire. After the transformation, he killed the remaining vampires of the special units. In the ending moments, Aoi realizes that now she doesn’t belong to the same world as Shuutarou.
Now, in Mars Red Season 2, fans can expect to see the exploits of Shuutarou. They will get to see and learn more about his vampiric nature. The forthcoming installment might also feature the experience of Suwa and Ayame in America. Also, Aoi will continue to be a part of the series, but her role might change a bit in the second season.
Mars Red Season 2: Release Date
Most anime series take at least one and a half years in their production. It’s highly likely that Mars Red will get a renewal, and it will happen very soon. Therefore, fans can expect to see the premiere episode of Mars Red Season 2 in the second half of 2023. We will update this section when the studio reveals official details.
