Nice. I figured that people were waiting for the broadcast to be over before announcing this, but I don't think that they needed to.

The message from Watanabe Ayumu pretty strongly implies he's returning as director for season 2. The whole team did an amazing job so I'm happy with anyone who sticks around[/img]

Ha, it would have been a real pisser if they didn't continue, given the ending of season one. Good times for anime fans.

This felt like a given but I'm glad it was confirmed.

It ended on a really huge cliffhanger so this is welcome news.

One season covered four volumes. There are 16 volumes out in Japan (14 in the US), so there’s probably three more seasons now, and will probably be material for a fourth by the time they’re done with what’s available now.
Oh, and at the end of v14, Coco is still in her first year as an apprentice!

If so, I’d like him off Akanebanashi. I understand that he’s normally very hands-off during production, but I can’t shake off the feeling that him directing both works in the same time frame compromises visual quality (mostly for Akanebanashi).
Of course, the fact that Crunchyroll has already announced they’ll be streaming WHA season 2, and that Akanebanashi is set to broadcast in January 2027, doesn’t quell my paranoia that the latter won’t get the short end of the stick again.

I'm pretty happy on how they anime adapted the first 4 volumes of the manga so a season 2 is a big welcome for me.

Think Akane-banashi's issues stemmed from more than just Watanabe being hands off or having split priorities (though the one episode he did storyboard for the show was the worst-looking episode of them all)
But as for WHA, this announcement taking a week with no clear time-frame tells me about all I need to know lol
