The Returner's New Beat

Music has always been a big part of this series, and the second season is no exception. krage's Everlasting promises to be a soulful, emotional track that fits the story's themes of second chances and perseverance. But that's not all—rock band FLOW is back with a brand-new song called "Sorrow" for the opening theme. If you remember their work on the first season, you know they're the perfect match for this world of magic and determination. Mostro, this combo is going to be fire!

When and Where to Watch

The new season is set to premiere on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block in October. It'll air on Wednesdays at 24:45 (effectively Thursdays at 12:45 a.m. JST). If you're outside Japan, don't worry—Crunchyroll will be streaming the new season, so you can catch all the action with subtitles and probably a dub later. And for those who want a refresher, the first season started re-airing on Fuji TV and Kansai TV in July. Perfect timing to binge before the new stuff lands!

The Story So Far

For the uninitiated, here's the deal: in a world where the Shadow World has taken over and most of humanity is wiped out, a party of six heroes tries to save the world—but they fail. Our protagonist, magician Desir Herman, gets a second chance when he wakes up thirteen years in the past. Now he has to gather his old party and stop the greatest catastrophe in human history. Sounds like a typical isekai? Nope, it's way more intense, with strategic battles and emotional twists. Yen Press describes it perfectly: it's all about rewriting destiny and not giving up.

Behind the Scenes

The creative team is back in full force. Taishi Kawaguchi returns to direct at Arvo Animation, and Takamitsu Kouno is overseeing and writing the scripts—he's known for his work on She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man and Absolute Duo. Character designer Hiromi Katō is back to bring the cast to life, and Daisuke Negishi is handling art direction. Music maestro Kenta Higashiohji returns to compose the score, so expect that epic orchestral vibe we loved in season one. The cast also remains stellar, with Taishi Kawaguchi leading the charge. Honestly, this team knows their chamba.

A Second Chance for Us Too

Let's be real—this anime is all about do-overs, and we feel like we're getting one too. The first season aired in October 2023, and Crunchyroll streamed it in English-speaking, Latin American, and European territories, complete with an English dub. Now, with the second season on the horizon, we're ready to dive back into Desir's world. Are you ready to join the party again? Because we definitely are. Mark your calendars for October, and let's make this magical return a memorable one!
