Viewers are eager for a possible ‘Plastic Memories Season 2’ announcement, but nothing is confirmed yet.

The series has been well-received, earning 7.3/10 stars on IMDb and a 7.91/10 Audience Score rating on MyAnimeList.

Plastic Memories Season 2 Overview

Plastic Memories Season 2 Release Date

The first season ended back in 2015. Since it has already been such a long time, Plastic Memories Season 2 might never hit the screens. There is no official announcements or updates regarding this matter. Regardless, the writer acknowledges the show, and some fans eagerly await updates on a sequel.

However, hypothetically, if Doga Kobo announces a new season this year, it may take time to produce and announce the release date. In this case, we can expect a potential release around late 2024 or early 2025.

That said, the possibilites of that happening are very slim. The story is originally from a visual novel game that has different endings, but the anime cannot explore all the alternative stories from the game. Which is why the season 1 was a original story based on the game. Meaning, if the anime’s creators cook up enough content for S2, then the adaptation is entirely possible.

What Will Happen In The Next Season?

In PlaMemo Season 1, Isla’s memories were erased, symbolizing the cycle of birth, life, and death. Tsukasa’s love for Isla remains, and a potential Season 2 could explore his life after her. He may try to revive her memories.

Given the dramatic nature of the show, we can expect it to be as emotional as the previous season.

Plastic Memories Season 2 : Cast & Characters

The major cast features four characters. Tsukasa Mizugaki, an 18-year-old working for the company, is the protagonist. The story revolves around him and Isla, the Giftia, making her the second crucial character.

Michiru Kinushima, a 17-year-old girl, holds significant importance as her character develops a fondness for Tsukasa.

Zack, a young Giftia, adds comical elements with comments on human secrets. Although the cast for the second season is not official, fans can expect these four primary characters.

Is There Enough Source Material For A Second Season?

Here’s comes the biggest question regarding the renewal status of Plastic Memories season 2: “Is there enough source material?”

But here’s the thing. Plastic Memories is an original anime that is not from a specific source material. It has a manga, but the anime is not based on that. It is actually based on a visual novel game of the same name.

For those who don’t know visual novel games, these games have multiple stories with different endings. Based on the player’s choices the story progressions changes. Such a thing is impossible to adapt into anime.

Which is why they had to make an original story based off the popular game. Which means, right now, they can choose to create an all new continuation story if they want to. It will still most likely based on the game, but it is all up in the air.

Which Studio Will Animate The Sequel?

The first season was the work of Doga Kobo studios. If we are ever going to get a new sequel, it is very likely that the same studio will handle the anime adaptation.

However, it is also quite common for animes to switch the studio for the sequel. A famous example for this is Attack on Titan which went from Wit Studios to studio MAPPA midway between the seasons.

Where To Watch Plastic Memories Season 2?

The season one of the anime is available to stream on Funimation and Crunchyroll. If we ever get a sequel, we can expect the same platforms to have it available to watch.

Another popular option is to watch the anime episodes through Blu-Ray. You can purchase the blu-ray box sets from either the official website of the anime, or from vendors like Amazon.
