Оn November 9, 2023, Akuma-kun appeared on the streaming platform.
The story develops 30 years after the events of the original anime, released between 1989 and 1990.
If the show gains enough views in the next few weeks, we can assume that Netflix will announce its decision very soon.
Over a year ago, Netflix announced that they were working on a new project in the Akuma-kun universe. Two teaser trailers followed, the first in May 2023 and the second in August. Akuma-kun is a story about a boy who saves the world with the help of demons, created by author Shigeru Mizuki in the 1960s. Since then, there have been several versions of the manga, a couple movies, a game, and a TV show. This isn't the first time the streaming platform has taken on popular projects with a long history, but fans were curious to see how Netflix would transform the story of a boy prodigy. And they finally got what they wanted — the first season of Akuma-kun was released on November 9, 2023.
What was the first season of Akuma-kun like?
The story takes place 30 years after the events of the original anime series, released between 1989 and 1990. The main character is a boy named Ichirou Umoregi, who has high intelligence and the ability to summon demons. The boy has a goal — to open a passageway between Hell and Earth to create a New world where humans and demons can coexist in harmony. Mephisto III, a half-human half-demon, accompanies Ichirou on his adventures and becomes his faithful mentor. Even now the series is getting pretty good ratings and we can say that fans are generally satisfied with the results. This situation is not very surprising, because Akuma-kun can be considered a timeless classic, and Netflix gave a new generation of viewers the opportunity to relive the story of Shigeru Mizuki once again.
Will there be a second season?
After watching the series, fans wondered whether there would be a sequel. This is because at the end of the first season, we do not get a clear conclusion to the story. If the second season comes out, it is logical that it will pick up where the first season stopped. Of course, the potential of the Akuma-kun universe is not completely exhausted, but much will depend on ratings and the number of views.
There is no information about the second season at this moment and it's not surprising as it's been a few days since the release of the first season. However, if the show gains enough views in the next few weeks, we can assume that Netflix will announce its decision very soon and it will definitely not disappoint fans. We might even be able to see a continuation of Ichirou's story in a year's time, considering the company's policies.
After watching the first season, fans want more.
