15.3
CourScore measures renewal signals out of 100. It is not a calibrated probability of an official sequel announcement within 18 months.
Signal coverage: 100% • Signal freshness: High • Updated 10 hours ago
Top reasons
- Format continuity - Format (MOVIE) matches prior mainline entries
- Reddit discussion momentum - 14 weekly Reddit threads, compared with current activity
- Committee renewal track record - Lead committee members (Flying Ship Studio) have a smoothed catalogue continuation rate of 18%, above the catalogue average of 14%
This is an anime original, not an adaptation, so there is no source material to run down - renewal turns on sales and popularity rather than runway.
