In the world of anime, sequel announcements are exciting events that create a lot of anticipation among fans. However, sometimes these announcements go unnoticed for years, leaving fans wondering what happened.
Here are some anime that suffered such fate:

The Legend of Fuyao. season 2
The second season of “Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru.” was announced for July 2023 but there have been no further updates as of yet. The show combines mystery and action elements, which may have made production difficult.
There are pros and cons to the debate between announcing a sequel years in advance or surprising fans right before the release. Early announcements can build anticipation and maintain interest, but they can also lead to disappointment if the delay is long.
