Fairy Gone Season 2 will probably be enjoyed by anime fans who desire the darker side of fantasy rather than the light-hearted, comedic isekai that keeps coming out. The good news is that the second half, Fairy Gone Part 2, has been confirmed to be coming out on October 6, 2019, although it’s technically not a second season.
Unfortunately, Anime Geek is predicting that the 2nd season will not be produced. Since the anime is an original work that’s not based on a Fairy Gone manga or light novel the anime will have to stand alone in its success or failure. Apparently, the entire story was designed to be self-contained.
Fairy Gone is P.A. Works’ second supernatural action anime in recent years. It’s like Sirius The Jaeger all over again, except with fairies and European folklore instead of vampires.
The TV show has a lot of potential since the Fairy Gone anime is being written by Ao Jumonji, the author of Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash (where is the anime Grimgar Season 2 for that matter?).
Director Kenichi Suzuki has worked on such series as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Hellsing Ultimate, Drifters, and Cells At Work! (see our article on Cells At Work! Season 2). The question is whether anime fans will need to wait until the second half until things start moving.
Similar to how the Revisions anime was blasted, some Fairy Gone reviews have been negative because of the heavy usage of CGI animation. But other reviewers are dropping the anime after the first several episodes simply because they find them boring, with some complaining that there’s almost no difference between watching an episode or reading the dry Wiki summary.
The biggest problem is that the initial episodes have been overly focused on convoluted world-building and setting up the plot. Hopefully, the anime will switch gears and develop the narrative by refocusing on character development and conflict.
The first story arc resolved at Episode 8 and now the anime has a chance to pick up the pacing. But when Episode 12 released in Jun 2019 the story left anime fans hanging. Fortunately, the wait for Fairy Gone Part 2 won’t be too long.

Fairy Gone Part 2 confirmed for Fall 2019
Thankfully, animation studio P.A. Works has already announced that Fairy Gone Part 2 will be coming out on October 6, 2019. On September 29, 2019, the anime’s cast will appear at a special screening event in Tokyo to premiere Fairy Gone episodes 13 through 15.

These 24 episodes will be released as Blu-Ray/DVD disc volumes starting during the summer of 2019.
