There is nothing particularly new or exciting in “Lost Song,” and it is by no means a groundbreaking animation. But it’s great fun and interesting in its own right. Surprisingly, it ends up exceeding your wildest dreams. My initial impression was that it was just another generic fantasy anime with no really fascinating or unique features. However, the plot twists and turns put me on the edge of my seat to the very end. Almost every turn in the story brought a fresh surprise, and nothing happened by chance. There are just 12 episodes, but the show’s pacing is so good that it effortlessly moves from one story revelation to the next. What sets this anime apart from the rest is its unpredictability.
With any luck, the show will pick up enough viewers to warrant either a second season or a spin-off. Jump to the next section for information on whether or not we will be receiving a new season of this fantastic anime.
Lost Song Season 2 Renewal Status

Netflix may have quietly canceled the show.

Lost Song Storyline
The border settlement where Rin, a lively little girl, resides, is surrounded by grass. Finis is often seen spending her days alone in the royal palace of the busy capital. Despite their seeming differences, the ladies are united by a unique ability: the power of song, which can mend wounds and generate and control water, fire, earth, and air. As the threat of war looms over the kingdom, the two young women will each embark on a perilous trip that will inevitably taint their magical songs with the blood of innocents. As their loved ones die in a stone jail, Rin and Finis pray that their final song will be a message of hope.
