posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The staff of the The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. franchise announced at Jump Festa 2018 on Saturday that the franchise is getting a new smartphone game. The cast of the television anime is planned to reprise their roles for the new tower defense game and create new voice recordings. Pre-registration for the game will open on February 7, and the game's teaser website will reveal more information on that day.
The second anime season based on Shūichi Asō's The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. manga will premiere late at night on January 16 at 25:35 (effectively January 17 at 1:35 a.m.) on TV Tokyo, TV Hokkaido, and TV Osaka, and will air later that night on TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting.
The first anime season premiered in July 2016 as a "double broadcast," airing in the mornings Mondays-Fridays within the Oha-Suta ("Good Morning Star") program on TV Tokyo, and at night on TV Tokyo, TV Aichi, and TV Osaka. Funimation streamed the series with English subtitles as it aired in Japan, and also streamed an English broadcast dub for the series.
The manga centers on a high school boy named Kusuo Saiki. He possesses supernatural powers that cause unfortunate events in his everyday life.
The manga also inspired a live-action film that opened in Japan on October 21. The film earned 194 million yen (about US$1.7 million) to rank at #2 during its opening weekend.
