Disney has shown a strong commitment to anime recently, consistently bringing new series to both Disney+ and Hulu.
Last year, one of the studio's main anime adaptations, Ishura, made its debut on Hulu in North America, concluding its first season this week. Now, fans can eagerly look forward to the continuation of Ishura's story in the second season.
Despite being new to the anime scene, Ishura boasts an all-star cast of seasoned veterans in the field. Famous voice actors such as Yuki Kaji from Attack on Titan, Reina Ueda from Demon Slayer, and Akio Ohtsuka from Vinland Saga have lent their talents to the series.
With the original novel series starting in 2019 and still ongoing with nine manga volumes, there's plenty of source material for the upcoming season.
Confirmation about Ishura Season 2 comes via a new trailer released online today. The first season produced by Passione and Sanzigen studios hinted at a promising future for the anime adaptation, as both producers are expected to return for a continuation.
Ishura's official website announced the renewal for a second season, stating,
“Second period begins. After the final episode of the television anime series 'Ishura' finished airing, the decision to produce a second season was announced.”
