“Talentless Nana ss 2”: release date, announcement
From the very first episode of the season 1, the anime “Talentless Nana” interested the audience. Still, no one expected that the main character would kill her new friend in cold blood. And the further the audience followed Nana’s actions, the more interest they developed in the series. But is there any information about Season 2?
There is currently no production of the sequel to the anime. Perhaps material is accumulating. As soon as something becomes known, we will write in our article.
Plot
On a small island there is a school for gifted students with any talents: igniting, freezing, healing, creating an energy field… Why open such a school on the island? The answer is simple: the leadership of the educational institution hides children with abilities from the whole world in order to undergo special training. After all, the goal of adolescents is to destroy monsters and other enemies of humanity. This means that it is necessary to develop their talents and teach them to control their gift.
It is no coincidence that Nana Hiiragi enters school. But, if initially a new student shows herself from the best, advantageous side for herself, then everything falls into place. Nana is not as pure, kind, and sweet as others seem. Despite the lack of any talent, she easily messed everyone up. Through thinking, observation, deduction, the girl easily misled everyone, saying that she was able to read minds.
Further more. Her plan includes the extermination of all gifted students of the school. In sequence. No dirt or noise. To do this, Nana must study each enemy and choose a method of killing. But why does the girl consider them the enemies of humanity?
The first victim was her classmate – Nanao, a calm student, endowed with a powerful gift, which until recently no one suspected. Who is next?..

To be honest, I wouldn’t want to see this returning – Nana is such a dislikeable character, I don’t really care what happens to her, and lost all interest in the series.
