The web anime brand Sukima no Anime announced on Tuesday that Dokodemo Makibao (Makibao Everywhere), its short anime spinoff to the Midori no Makibao franchise, will get a second season starting on Wednesday, October 8. A promotional video for the new Dokodemo Makibao ~World Tour~ season announces its new and returning cast and staff:
Ikue Ōtani will join the short anime's second season and will reprise her role as Makibao's younger sister Makibako from the 1996 television anime Midori no Makibao. Inuko Inuyama, Shigeru Chiba, Toshiharu Sakurai, and FROGMAN will return from the first season.
FROGMAN also returns to direct the anime with Tsukasa Nishiyama (The Human Crazy University), and oversee the script at DLE in collaboration with KDDI. Naotoshi Nakajima (Sakigake!! Reiwa no Otoko Juku) and Yuh Ochiai are writing the scripts for the new season, and Kyōhei Matsuno returns to compose the music.
The second season of Dokodemo Makibao will debut on October 8, and new episodes will stream on YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram on Wednesdays at 7:00 a.m. JST (Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. EDT). The new season centers on Makibao and his friends undergoing training around the world to defeat their arch rival Cascade. The anime will feature unique races of different countries such as the Beer Carrying race in Germany, a rodeo tournament in America, and a "big battle with aliens" in Antarctica.
The short anime's first season debuted on December 16, and started streaming its 24th episode on March 13. Along with the net anime shorts spinoff series Alps no Rōjin Heidi no Ojii-san (Heidi's Elderly Grandfather of the Alps), which debuted on December 18, the two anime were part of the "second season" of the Sukima no Anime brand.
Tsnumaru debuted the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1994. The manga ended in 1998. The Midori no Makibao anime aired in Japan for 61 episodes from 1996-1997. The Blu-ray Disc box set for the anime featured a new animated adaptation of the finale of the original manga when it shipped in July 2022.
