Since the anime Redo Of Healer debuted back in January 2021, it has been in hot water for various reasons. While the series received a mixed reaction, some are still clamoring for a Redo Of Healer Season 2. Will the anime get a second season despite its poor ratings? Well, chances are pretty low. That’s because the series failed to impress the global audience. Despite that, the light novel (from which the anime has been adapted) author hinted at the fate of the series. Does it mean there’s a chance for Season 2 of Redo of Healer? Let’s find out.
Based on the light novel series by Rui Tsukiyo, Redo of Healer is also known as Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi. The series is about Keyaru’s journey to revenge. After being sexually abused because of being a healing magician, the protagonist decides to take revenge on those who have done wrong with him. So, in order to take his revenge, he heals the Philosopher’s Stone and goes back four years into the past. While he aims to redo his past, it leads him to embark on a nasty journey.
Unfortunately, not! The first season aired back in January 2021 and concluded on March 31, 2021. Despite the series receiving mixed ratings, some loved the anime a lot. Yet, it’s almost been three years since the production and anime committee haven’t said anything about Redo Of Healer Season 2. Is it still on the cards? Well, it’s likely possible that the anime has been shelved. That’s because it’s quite common in the anime industry to cancel the series just after one season.
As for Redo Of Healer, being an Ecchi and dark fantasy show, it doesn’t stand a chance of returning. Being a risky project, it looks like the production committee won’t re-explore the show. However, the show has a loyal fanbase. This might help the production team to return with Redo Of Healer Season 2. That can be reflected in the series’ reception; the first season only gained 6.4/10 on IMDb and 6.3/10 on MyAnimeList. While the series failed on the performance level, there’s still hope for Season 2.
The sole reason for such delay is that the series received criticism from a global audience. The first season of Redo of Healer received a pool of hate from the critics as well as the audience for encouraging sexual misconduct. The anime’s theme revolves around the sexual abuse as the part of revenge. That’s why the series has been surrounded by extreme criticism even three years after its debut. Many fans also believe that the anime is a poor depiction of dark fantasy genres.
Well, Redo Of Healer isn’t the first dark fantasy series. There are plenty of such series available. However, the mere concept of the show has left fans to hate the series to their core. Yet, there are some loyal fanbases who wish to see Redo Of Healer Season 2. But the number of loyal fans is lower than that of haters. So, this backlash is the sole reason Studio TNK is not looking forward to returning with another season. But wait! There’s still hope for a sophomore run.
There’s hope for Redo Of Healer Season 2. If you remember, the same case occurred with World’s End Harem anime. After its pilot episode, the anime was removed from the broadcasting list as it had uncensored content. While such a backlash and setback was quite huge for the anime’s fate and reputation, it was later restored with minor changes. Just after the anime was shelved, Studio Gokumi decided to make some necessary changes.
