As isekai has now conditioned many to expect very little from the fantasy genre of anime, it must be shocking to newer watchers who try Lord Marksman and Vanadis. They go in expecting little, and get a surprising lot. Unfortunately, what you get in the Lord Marksman and Vanadis anime is actually still just a taste of what the light novels delivers.

What to Expect From The Lord Marksman and Vanadis Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Fitting five novels into 13 episodes of anime is never a particularly good thing. The Lord Marksman of Vanadis commits itself to telling the overall story, but often skips the finer details. It also carefully carves out characters and events that will come into play later, which makes me think this anime team already knew the series wasn’t going to continue with another season.
Of course, the most important thing the Lord Marksman and Vanadis anime cut out was all the character development and relationship building. The light novel has a lot of that while the anime has very little.
Will There Be A Lord Marksman and Vanadis Season 2?
As the Lord Marksman and Vanadis anime aired in 2014 and both the light novel and manga are long concluded, a second season seems unlikely.
