What does all of this tell us about a potential second season?

As you can see, the future of the Unbreakable Machine-Doll anime is quite uncertain, but not because there’s no interest or lack of material. The series was fairly popular back in the day, but it’s been nine years and since anime series usually run while there’s a need to promote the written materials, the chances are very slim. The light novel series ended six years ago and no new material has been released, which is why there is no need to promote anything else. Now, this doesn’t completely exclude the possibility of another season, but the chances are slimmer so we’ll just have to see whether there is enough interest for a continuation to make any proper predictions about the potential continuation of the series. The first season received solid reviews, but we simply don’t know enough to make any predictions on the show’s future.

In any case, the earliest we could see a potential second season is late 2023, but we’d have to get some confirmation on the future during 2022 or easily 2023; 2024 is also a strong possibility. The fans are demanding a new season, but we’ll just have to see how it goes; as far as things stand now, a cancelation has not been confirmed, but we cannot rule it out either.

What could Season 2 of Unbreakable Machine-Doll be about?

At this moment, we do not know how far the second season of Unbreakable Machine-Doll could take us because we don’t know how many additional volumes of the light novel series the season could potentially adapt; it could be the whole series or just a part of it. Namely, due to a lack of information in general, we have absolutely no clue how far the second season might go if it even happens. What follows is an overview of the original material so you can get a rough idea of what you could expect from the series.

During their trip to Machinart’s Walpurgis Academy, Raishin and his automaton, Yaya, stop a runaway train they were on. Arriving at the Academy, Raishin earns the name of The Second Ultimate for placing second worst on the entrance exam. Leaving aside his grade of him, Raishin is determined to fight in the Festival, an automaton fighting tournament in which only the top 100 students are allowed to participate in order to win the title of Sorcerer.

Raishin meets Charlotte and her automaton Sigmund, whom he challenges to a battle, which is interrupted by other students. Raishin and Yaya defeat the other students with ease, and after noticing that Sigmund has a serious injury, Raishin retreats from his battle with Charlotte. The next day, Raishin tells Charlotte that he wants the title of sorcerer so that he can obtain the forbidden techniques and use them to get her revenge.

During the conversation, Raishin spotted Magnus, who was walking by, and confronted him. Knowing that he was going to lose in a battle given the extreme differences in skill level, Raishin gives Magnus a small vial instead of challenging him in battle. Felix, the head of the discipline committee, tasks Raishin with eliminating an unknown entity known as Cannibal Candy, who has destroyed many automatons and caused the disappearance of 26 students, in exchange for an entry into the Festival.

Charlotte asks Raishin to go on a date, and he agrees much to Yaya’s annoyance. On another day, Raishin further explains that he only started studying two years ago, which explains his poor academic performance. Charlotte confesses to Raishin that she committed a terrible sin in the past. After the date, Raishin and Charlotte stumble upon another crime scene, caused by the Cannibal Candy.

At the crime scene, Raishin and Charlotte meet Felix, who scares Charlotte away. Back in the dorms, Raishin gives Yaya a pair of boots and tells her that he went out with Charlotte to confirm that she is not Cannibal Candy. Raishin receives a phone call from Lisette telling him that Charlotte is not in her bedroom. Shoko pays a visit to the dorms with Irori and Komurasaki.

She tells Raishin that automatons are not human beings, and she remembers that time when she met Raishin. Lisette takes Raishin into an automated lab. Raishin then deduces that Lisette was present at the crime scenes and discovers Lisette’s preserved corpse in Felix’s locker and that the Lisette he had been talking to was actually a forbidden automaton.

Outside the lab, Charlotte defeats an automaton, but it was a trap set by Felix to make everyone believe that she is Cannibal Candy, as she found a series of Eva Hearts in her bedroom. Charlotte realizes that Felix is ​​actually Cannibal Candy and that he planned to have Raishin eliminate her. Just as Felix was about to kill Carlotte, a wounded Yaya and Raishin arrive.

Raishin and Granny learn about Charlotte’s past from Sigmund: Charlotte’s family is known for making automatons, but the family was stripped of everything when the young Prince of Wales was injured by one of his automatons. So Charlotte attends school on a scholarship and is saving to buy back the eve hearts for her family’s automatons and she hopes to reunite with her family one day.

“Lisette” is revealed to be Felix’s automaton, Eliza, who is capable of absorbing the magical abilities of automatons that she devours. As she and Yaya fight, Eliza’s body turns to mist trapping Yaya inside, but Yaya’s blood spills into Eliza, causing the effectiveness of Eliza’s attacks to decrease as only one type of magic can be used. at once and destroys it. After the battle, Raishin is honored and allowed to enter the Festival despite his poor grades, and Charlotte gives Raishin a pendant with defensive capabilities as a gift to clear his name.
