If you’ve just finished High-Rise Invasion the “popular” anime series that crawled onto Netflix in late February 2021 then you’re probably wondering about the High-Rise Invasion Season 2 Premiere Date. Will we see another season of this “brilliant” anime? And since the question of will high rise invasion have a season 2 is floating around a lot now, in this article we’ll be going through what we know about High-Rise Invasion Season 2. We’ll go over the time it will be released and explain the “magnificent” ending of season 1. So strap in, put your “mask” on and get ready to ascend to the High-Rise Invasion universe. We hope you enjoy this comprehensive & hopefully useful article. There are major spoilers ahead for season one so please be aware.
Overview
High-Rise Invasion has a very easy-to-follow story and it’s set up basically in the first episode, with the characters (especially the main one) just plainly telling us everything that’s happening and breaking the show don’t tell rule over and over.
I know that in English we call this “Spoon Feeding” but I guess for the audience this may be necessary as it would be really hard to follow if High-Rise Invasion had no dub.
The main character Yuri Honjo finds herself in a mysterious place where the landscape of the world is just skyscrapers. Yuri will appear in High-Rise Invasion Season 2 along with some of the other characters. And if you’re asking will there be another season of High Rise Invasion? they expect to see the masks in the new season as well.
Yes, very original I know, I’ve never seen this before. Anyway, whilst trying hard to find her older brother Rika she spots these strange humanoid beings who she calls masks.
These beings don’t kill their victims directly, but instead, drive them to the point of distress and despair so they take their own life.
They do this by jumping off the buildings to their deaths below. The rest of the story follows Yuri trying to find a way out and teaming up with other humans who are in the same position as she is.
Main characters
Now you (as the average anime viewer) may like the characters in High-Rise Invasion but I certainly didn’t and I’ll briefly explain why. Pretty much all of them are just anime characters with original and partly unique looks but with the same characteristics and dialogue, we’ve (or just me) seen recycled time and time again.
The good thing is that these characters will certainly appear for the High-Rise Invasion Season 2 Premier Date. If you’re asking Will High Rise Invasion get another season? Then you should know that the characters below will all appear in the new series.
Yuri Honjo
Yuri – is a classic boring main character with no personality who blurts out the same old generic anime trope lines. She has long black hair, and brown eyes and is supposed to be the most relatable (the show fails even at that).
She’s attractive, and headstrong and is just very plain and hard to sympathize with, of course, she has a brother and this gives her something to push on for but that’s about it.
Kuon Shinzaki
Then of course we have the ditsy, airhead, bimbo high-pitched soft voice character. Her name is Kuon Shinzaki and she wanders around like a halfwit for the first 5 episodes not even flinching or running away when a mask aims a loaded gun at her.
Oooh, uhh, w-w-why are you aiming that gun at m-me sir? I can name about 10 animes off the top of my head where I’ve seen this characteristic before, from Keijo to Amagi Brilliant Park, Highschool Of the Dead and so on (I don’t want to bore you).
Mayuko Nise
Then we have the Tom-boy character who becomes allies with Yuri in the second episode. Her name is Mayuko Nise and she’s just as boring as Yuri and has nothing to make me care about her whatsoever, apart from dare I mention this stupid sub-narrative about her violent history regarding her family.
She secretly has a crush on Yuri and the series doesn’t bother in the slightest to make it subtle.
Rika Honjo
And of course, finally, we have the protective older brother Rika who’s very handsome. He’s just as boring as Yuri and has the personality of a piece of plywood.
Nevertheless, he seems to be the only one who knows what’s going and his character is regularly used for spoon-feeding us info on the masks, how they ended up in the world, and constantly calling Yuri and filling her in.
I think he’s supposed to be around 18 I hope as Yuri’s supposed to be a lot younger than him and that would make the sexual assault scene with Yuri in the first episode even more unsettling.
Ending of High-Rise Invasion Season 1
Now to understand whether or not there will be another season of High-Rise Invasion we need to take a look at the ending of the first season. So the ending saw Yuri disobey the rules of the world. We also witnessed her steal a mask’s power while Rika is trapped in a room full of masks.
We also see the other teams waiting to see the outcome. The final scene shows Yuri stating she’s going to save her brother and go home as she puts it. This sets the stage for a High-Rise Invasion Season 2 but does this mean we’re going to get another? – Will there be another season of High-Rise Invasion? Keep reading and you’ll find out.
Will High Rise Invasion have a season 2?
Many of the fans have been asking: Will High-Rise Invasion Get Another Season? And it makes sense why the ending was not conclusive. So now that we’ve got our heads around the confusing but inconclusive ending let’s get to the reason you’re here.
I can tell you in great confidence but not a 100% guarantee that High-Rise Invasion will get another season. There are many reasons for this and I’ll outline them below:
- Of the 258 published chapters in the High-Rise Invasion Manga, 149 chapters have been covered and adapted by the anime. This leaves just over 100 chapters left. This means the content for a High-Rise Invasion Season 2 is there. Nothing is stopping the production company from creating another season.
- Netflix has a history of giving second seasons to anime even if they aren’t very successful. I mean just look at Seven Seeds. I loathed that anime. I couldn’t believe it when Netflix green-lighted another season for it (read my review on Seven Seeds here). If Netflix gave that show another season you can say for sure that High-Rise Invasion will get a season 2. This is because as the ratings for 7 Seeds were awful and the ratings for High-Rise Invasion were much better.
- As I previously mentioned the ending of the High-Rise Invasion was not conclusive at all. It left a lot open to what could happen next. We learned more about the so-called ‘Masks” than we ever had. Yuri’s little speech at the end cemented the run-up of a High-Rise Invasion Season 2 in everyone’s head. The ending would not be structured that way if they weren’t already planning to have another Season of High-Rise Invasion.
High-Rise Invasion Season 2 Premiere Date
I would say given everything I have discussed above that a new season of High-Rise Invasion is just around the corner.
We will either be seeing this by the end of this year (2023) or at the beginning of 2024. My guess would be 2024 probably in January or most likely February as that’s when it was first released. Either way, I can say for sure there will be a High-Rise Invasion Season 2 Premiere Date. It’s just almost certain in my opinion.
If there isn’t I will certainly lose any sleep or tears over it in fact I might create an individual review article for High-Rise Invasion so I can offer a more in-depth view of my grievances and praises of the show. Hopefully, we answered the question of will High Rise Invasion have a Season 2.
Thank you so much for reading I hope this review has helped you find the answer to whatever you were searching for. As always have a lovely day and stay safe!
