On the surface, To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts’ might seem like a commonplace action show that is all about a dark war and its aftermath. However, there is a lot more to it. Despite having a short runtime of just 12 episodes, it has a fairly decent pace. Even the story, for the most part of it, is quite interesting and keeps you engaged as a viewer. The biggest pitfall of the show is its characters who seem bland with no significant personality traits. As a viewer, you often feel disconnected with them and are unable to empathize with their tragic stories. Coming from MAPPA Studio, which is known for producing anime like Kakegurui and Yuri!!! On Ice, the animation is certainly on point, especially during the battle scenes. Overall, To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts’ is clearly no masterpiece and could have been a lot better than it is. But even then, if you enjoy action anime shows that have some good production values, you should give this one a shot. Even if the character development is something that disappoints you, it’s the quality fight scenes that will make you stay. To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts Season 2 Release Date When will it premiere? To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts’ Season 1 premiered on July 1, 2019 and came to end on September 16, 2019. The anime has been adapted from a manga series that goes by the same name and so far, close to 10 volumes of it have been published with more than 50 chapters in total. So for obvious reasons, the first season of the anime will not be able to adapt the entire manga and, sooner or later, the creators will have to renew it. Also, it seems like the manga still has a long way to go and is gradually gaining a lot of popularity. If this continues, the author will not give up on it any time soon and we might even get a season 3 later. So in the end, it will all come down to how well the anime is accepted by most viewers. As of now, it’s a bit too soon to confirm anything but the odds are certainly in its favor. Optimistically speaking, To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts’ Season 2 can come out sometime in July, 2020. Till then, you should check out other shows on our list of the greatest war anime.

These monsters are so strong that they can easily take on at least 10 soldiers of the opposing army with ease. After years of battling, the war finally comes to an end and the two sides of the continent establish a peace treaty.
