Potentially controversial opinion: how about instead of a second season of FKBU - as I have seen many people speculate about, and which imho, doesn’t seem to be likely a thing that’s going to happen, since the orignal novel’s story has been told in those eleven episode; how about a kind of a reboot?
I don’t mean a reboot in the classical sense of the word, but more like reusing the already existing episodes, and adding more episodes to them, thus expanding the anime, because, let’s be honest, it’s pretty obvious that it suffered from the initial hit of the pandemic. The anime feels like the characters and the plot weren’t given enough time to fully develop and ripen, though, on the other hand, the rest of the MCPTF characters (Saeki, Teppei, and Kamei) don’t appear to have moved at all in their characterisation from the first episode through to the last. They also feel a bit superflous tbh.
And there’s also the whole Adollium thing in and of itself, it’s a huge plot-hole imho: we are meant to believe, that up until Katō accidently pressed the “send” button, the material is mysterious and that not much, if anything is known about it by anyone who was not directly involved with it. But episode seven rolls around, and you see in Takei’s flashback, that the taskforce set up to investigate the murder of Kambe Sayuri is already talking about Adollium, and that Kambe Shuigemaru is the head-researcher of it.
They even have obtained the chemical symbol and molecular formular for it:
If it was supposed to be a well kept secret of the Kambe Conglomerate, or rather, of the Kambe family itself, with Kikoku literally willing to go over dead-bodies to keep it that way, how the fuck did the police even get their hands on intel like this? Wouldn’t you think that one of the first things Kikoku made sure of was that nothing, absolutely nothing would point to the motive behind Sayuri’s death being in any way related to Shigemaru’s research? You would think she had ordered Hattori to make it look like a break-in gone wrong, or whatever would apply in this situation. But instead it’s instantly clear to Kiyomizu that it was murder, because the execution of it was “too clean” to match the ransacked state of the apartment. Like... sorry for going all nit-picky about it, my orignial fandom is DetCo, sooo... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
anyway, tl;dr: expand the existing anime with more episodes to give/show how the characters are developing, perhaps a filler or two for good measure,
