Skip and Loafer: The Wholesome Goodness We Hope Never Ends
Despite competing against some of the heavyweights like Demon Slayer Season 3, Oshi no Ko, and Hell’s Paradise, Skip and Loafer has emerged as one of the best anime in Spring 2023.
The alluring charm of Skip and Loafer is heartwarming and an absolute treat to watch.
Based on a manga of the same name written and illustrated by Misaki Takamatsu, the anime's plotline and characters are endearing.
Skip and Loafer revolves around the main character Mitsumi Iwakura who moves to Tokyo from her quiet hometown in Ishikawa Prefecture.
The series does an excellent job of showcasing the country girl moving to a big city trope to perfection.
Mitsumi moves to Tokyo to further her studies and eventually start her career in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
She has planned everything as she wishes to build her academic acumen to succeed in the next three years.
Mitsumi’s hometown is going through a depopulation issue and she wishes to find a solution by working in the government.
As a main character, Mitsumi is extremely likable because of her determination to help humanity.
It is adorable to see Mitsumi navigate through city life in the initial episodes. And her first encounter with Sousuke Shima, her classmate, is cute and wholesome.
Coming back to Mitsumi, so far in the anime, she is never shown as a supremely dedicated person but she is depicted as a human.
A human who can waver and falter in the small scheme of things. However, Skip and Loafer’s ultimate selling point is that it is never hard on its characters.
There is hardly any space for toxic behavior between characters.
Talking about the first season of this marvelous seinen series, Mitsumi is slowly but steadily settling into the city.
She has even found friends who do not make fun of her different Japanese dialect. Mitsumi’s friends have their own dreams, aspirations, and problems.
The great thing about Skip and Loafer is that the series gives ample space for each character to shine through.
In this season, fans have indeed formed a bond with not only Mitsumi but with other Skip and Loafer characters like Sousuke, Nao-chan, Yuzuki, Mika, Misaki, and Fumi.
So, Will There Be a Skip and Loafer Season 2?
As of this update, Skip and Loafer Season 2 is yet to be announced by the creators and producers.
However, given Season 1’s tremendous popularity among fans across the world, it is highly likely that Skip and Loafer Season 2 will be announced soon.
Skip and Loafer Season 2 Release Date Predictions
As mentioned earlier, the release date of Skip and Loafer Season 2 has not been officially announced.
However, we can speculate Season 2’s release window based on other shows from Skip and Loafer's studio, P.A. Works, that have gotten sequels.
P.A. Works’ The Eccentric Family Season 1 came out in 2013 and the second season was released in 2017.
There was a gap of four years between the two seasons of The Eccentric Family.
P.A. Works does take its time to release the second season, but we are hoping that Skip and Loafer’s popularity will speed up the process.
If we have to speculate, Skip and Loafer Season 2 may get a release date in 2025 or early 2026.
