TWIN STAR EXORCISTS SEASON 2: RENEWED OR CANCELLED? [2023]
Twin Star Exorcists Season 2, is it coming back or canceled once and for all?
Over the years, the anime community has begun appreciating the Supernatural/Horror genre, albeit the general scene is dominated by Shonen or Isekai anime.
Whether you are a fan or simply a casual watcher of this genre, there is no debate that some of the best anime in recent times have been supernatural such as Death Note, Mob-Psycho, Jujutsu Kaisen, etc.
Likewise, Twin Star Exorcists or Sōsei no Onmyōji is Supernatural-Adventure anime based on the manga by the same name written and illustrated by Yoshiaki Sukeno. The plot follows a powerful exorcist Rokuro Enmadou who once wanted to become the strongest exorcist, but an unknown event two years ago made him give up this dream. Now, he wants nothing to do with Exorcists.
Exorcists are responsible for purifying the parallel realm Megano, filled with monsters known as Kegare. The Exorcist Union summons an exorcist by the name of Benio Adashino, and on her way, she runs into Rokuro Enmadou.
Their meeting isn’t coincidental as Benio and Rokuro are not only the Twin Starts but also destined to be married and become the parents of the reincarnation of Abe no Seimei called Miko, who will eventually cleanse the world of all impurity.
Can the Twin stars relieve the world from malicious forces as destiny works its magic, is the central plot of the show.
The first season was received with mixed reviews, and fans have wondered if Twin Star Exorcists season 2 will ever happen. Keep scrolling to find out the answer.
Twin Star Exorcists has been rated 7.3 out of 10 and holds the rank of #2473 on MyAnimeList, a popular online database for anime and manga enthusiasts. The show boasts a membership of 464,000 individuals on the platform.
TWIN STAR EXORCISTS RENEWAL STATUS
The first season of Twin Star Exorcists ran from 6th April 2016 – 29th March 2017 for 50 episodes.
As of July 2022, there is no confirmation from creators or studio Pierrot on a renewal of Twin Star Exorcists Season 2. According to Anime News Daily, the show isn’t canceled either.
So, if the show is neither canceled nor renewed, why is there no information from the creators? The simple answer is that the first outing of Twin Star Exorcists failed to live up to the expectations and is considered a failure.
Let’s check out why the show petered out after its debut.
WHY DID TWIN STAR EXORCISTS FAIL + WHAT POSSIBLE RELEASE DATE?
The big thing for Twin Star Exorcists was the animation studio behind its creation, i.e., Studio Pierrot.
Studio Pierrot is a veteran in anime production with hit shows like Naruto, Bleach, The Legend of Korra, and many more under their belt.
So, when Pierrot did pick up Twin star Exorcist, the buzz and hype skyrocketed massively amongst the fandom. Sadly, the studio also became one of the culprits for the show s demise.
One of the major criticisms leveled against Twin Star Exorcists is the stark contrast between the anime adaptation and the beloved source material. While the fundamental romantic premise between the main characters is preserved, the anime deviates considerably from the manga in other respects.
From Episode 20 onward, the anime appears to deviate from the original story as depicted in the manga, with a greater focus on hyper-shonen-style storytelling and the inclusion of divergent filler content.
This seems to come at the expense of remaining faithful to key events from the manga, which may be a point of concern for viewers seeking a more accurate adaptation.
If you are a studio creating a shonen anime, the first and foremost duty is to remain true to the source material.
Adapting a beloved work of fiction can be a challenging task, and few missteps are more likely to disappoint passionate fans than a lack of fidelity to the source material. Unfortunately, Twin Star Exorcists was found to be guilty of such a misstep.
Secondly, another big mistake by the production studio was to release the show at the same time as My Hero Academia. The latter became one of the biggest shonen anime of all time, which took away the spotlight from Twin Star Exorcists.
Finally, it’s been five years since the show ended, and considering it was released as a shonen anime, that’s a pretty long time taken for renewal. Looking at all the above reasons, the chances for a second season look bleak for Twin star Exorcist.
With that said, modern animes are being renewed even after five years, so there is still hope. If and when the show is picked up again, Twin Star Exorcists season 2 release date will be in End 2024.

TWIN STAR EXORCISTS MANGA CATCHUP
Twin Star Exorcists manga is written and illustrated by Yoshiaki Sukeno. It began serializing on 4th October 2013 in Jump Square Magazine.
The first issue was released on 4th February 2014, and the series has been collected into 28 volumes consisting of 106 chapters as of 3rd June 2022.The Twin Star Exorcists anime adapted only 13-14 chapters from the manga, i.e., the show is only about 20 percent canon.
The term ‘adaptation’ in the context of anime can be interpreted in a flexible manner. Generally, it refers to a production company’s effort to create an animated series that closely resembles the source material. The objective is to replicate the original content as accurately as possible.
The term ‘adaptation’ can imply a work that is derived from a source material, yet at the same time, may feature anime-original plots and endings that stray from the original series. An instance of this is Twin Star Exorcists, also known as Sousei no Omnyouji.
The anime series deviates from its original source material in the inaugural episode, with a substantial departure into anime-exclusive content commencing around the 20th episode. As a result, it is advisable to initiate the viewing experience from the manga’s inception, in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the storyline.
Before an anime is renewed for a second installment, various factors are considered, such as popularity, manga and disc sales, international exposure, etc.
According to the latest available data, as of March 1st, 2021, the total number of copies of Twin Star Exorcists in circulation was recorded to be over 5 million. As per industry standards, this number is considered to be below average for a shonen anime, and may not be financially viable to pursue a second season.
