High School DxD New Sequel Anime's Teaser Posted

posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
2nd season of supernatural school comedy to premiere with returning cast, staff in July

A 30-second teaser video for High School DxD New, the second season of the High School DxD anime, aired in Japan on Thursday. Voice actor Yūki Kaji narrates the video as the lead character Issei Hyōdō. The main cast and staff are returning for the second season, which will premiere in July.

The new season was announced with the 13th light novel volume, which shipped last September. Ichiei Ishibumi's original light novel series centers around Issei Hyōdō, a dim-witted, lecherous second-year high school student who is killed by a girl on his first date ever. Issei is reincarnated as a devil, and from that day forward, he serves as an underling of Riasu (Yōko Hikasa), a high-level devil who is also the prettiest girl on Issei's campus.

For the second season, Risa Taneda (From the New World's Saki, Oreshura's Kaoru, Say, "I Love You".'s Asami) will play Zenobia, Maaya Uchida (Yuruyuri's Mari, Vividred Operation's Rei) will play Irina Shidō, and Haruka Yamazaki (Hayate the Combat Butler's Ruka, Vividred Operation's Mizuha) will play Aika Kiriyū.

Tetsuya Yanagisawa directed the first season at the anime studio TNK with scriptwriter Takao Yoshioka and character designer Junji Gotō.

The first season premiered in Japan on last year, and Funimation licensed that season for North America for streaming and home video.
