Aniplus Asia Restarts Airing of The Misfit of Demon King Academy II Anime in July
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The new season is airing in split cours (quarters of a year), the first of which premiered on January 7. Episodes 7 and beyond of the anime have been delayed due to the impact of the increase in COVID-19 infections on its production schedule. The anime began airing the first six episodes again starting on February 18. Aniplus-Asia was airing the anime in Southeast Asia prior to the delay.
Shin Oonuma (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, A Sister's All You Need) is returning as the chief director for the anime, and Masafumi Tamura (Two Car, Wise Man's Grandchild) is returning as the director. SILVER LINK is again producing the animation. Kazuyuki Yamayoshi (Chaos;Child) is again adapting Yoshinori Shizuma's original character designs for animation. Jin Tanaka (Laid-Back Camp) is again in charge of series scripts. Ryousuke Naya is again the sound director, and Keiji Inai is returning to compose the music.
The rock band Lenny code fiction performs the opening theme song "SEIEN," while singer-songwriter Momosumomosu performs the ending theme song "Esoa."
The anime's first season premiered in July 2020. Aniplus-Asia aired a simulcast of the anime as it aired in Japan.
The anime is based on Shu's The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants (Maō Gakuin no Futekigōsha ~Shijō Saikyō no Maō no Shiso, Tensei Shite Shison-tachi no Gakkō e Kayō) light novel series.
Shu launched the novel series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in April 2017.
