posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The official website for the Isekai Quartet anime revealed on Friday theme song information and the January 14 premiere for the show's second season, Isekai Quartet 2. The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on January 14 late at night at 12:30 a.m. (effectively January 15), before debuting later on MBS, BS11, and AT-X.
Satoshi Hino, Jun Fukushima, Yūsuke Kobayashi, and Aoi Yūki will perform the opening theme song as their characters. Sumire Uesaka, Rie Takahashi, Inori Minase, and Saori Hayami will perform the ending song as their characters. A CD for the songs will ship on February 2.
The new season will premiere in January, and will include characters from The Rising of The Shield Hero in addition to Re:Zero, Overlord, KONOSUBA, and The Saga of Tanya the Evil.
The new anime will feature a returning staff. Minoru Ashina (Kaiju Girls, Pure Pure Purea Desu Overlord shorts) is scripting and directing the anime. Minoru Takehara is serving as both character designer and chief animation director. Studio Puyukai (Kaiju Girls, Lord Marksman and Vanadis, Pure Pure Purea Desu Overlord shorts) is animating the work.
Crunchyroll and Funimation both streamed the first season as it aired. Funimation describes the story:
The button appeared out of nowhere. There weren't any signs NOT to push it…so the solution is obvious, right? Is it a trap or the start of something new and exciting? The crews of Re:Zero, Overlord, KONOSUBA, and The Saga of Tanya the Evil will find out when they go from their world to another and get stuck in…class?! See what adorable chaos they'll get up to in this collection of shorts!
The first season premiered in Japan on April 9.
