Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! Season 2's Announcement Video Posted

The official website for the Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! (Binan Kōkō Chikyū Bōei-bu Love!) television anime began streaming a promotional video for the show's recently announced second season on Sunday. The same video revealed the new season at the "Binan Kōkō Chikyū Bōei-bu Love! Matsuri!" (Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! Festival) event earlier in the day.

Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Viewster streamed the first anime season this past winter. Funimation describes the story:

Teenage boys are notoriously lazy, and the members of Binan High School's Earth Defense Club are no exception. Their definition of “earth defense” is bumming around all day at the local bathhouse. But when a pink wombat appears out of thin air and begs the boys to help him save the planet, even the idlest high schoolers jump to action. Watch the magical boys transform and save the earth with the power of LOVE!
