The anime series Plastic Memories aired in Japan in 2015 and has since garnered a loyal fanbase. Many are still asking the same question: Will there ever be a season 2?
Plastic Memories is set in a world where androids are an integral part of everyday life. Tsukasa Mizugaki works for the SAI Corporation, a leading manufacturer of androids equipped with human emotions. His job is anything but easy: he’s responsible for retrieving and deactivating androids that are nearing their “expiration date”. His colleague Isla, a reserved android, has mostly served tea until now – but Tsukasa soon realizes that Isla is much more than just a machine.
The series aired from April to June 2015 on Japanese television and is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. Despite its success and the many unanswered questions, fans are still waiting in vain for a continuation.

Is There Any Hope for Season 2?
So far, there has been no official announcement regarding a second season of Plastic Memories. After almost ten years without any news, it seems unlikely that the series will be continued. The chances for a Season 2 are therefore quite slim, and fans should prepare for the possibility that the story will remain unfinished.
