Funimation to Stream Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Anime's 2nd Part This Fall

Funimation announced on Wednesday that it will stream the sequel (second cours or second quarter of a year) of the television anime of Rifujin na Magonote's Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation light novel series this fall.

The anime's "Part 2" will premiere in October after a delay from a planned July premiere due to "various circumstances." The site also revealed a new visual. The anime's first cours will rebroadcast starting in July.

The first anime premiered on the Tokyo MX, KBS Kyoto, and BS11 channels on January 10. Funimation streamed the series in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Mexico, and Brazil. The company describes the anime:

The story follows a 34-year-old man who is killed after trying to save someone from getting hit by a car. He soon finds himself reincarnated in a magical world as Rudeus Greyrat, except that he gets his whole life reset, starting as a baby.

With all of his knowledge from his previous life, and a new heaping helping of magical ability, Rudeus quickly becomes a formidable warrior ready for adventure. Oh, and he's still a total pervert.

Manabu Okamoto (Gamers!) directed the series at Studio Bind. Egg Firm was also credited for production. Kazutaka Sugiyama (animation director for DARLING in the FRANXX) designed the characters. Yuiko Ōhara produced, wrote, scored, and sang both the opening theme song and the ending theme song.

Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed both the light novel series and Yuka Fujikawa's manga adaptation. The company has also licensed Shoko Iwami's Mushoku Tensei: Roxy Gets Serious (Mushoku Tensei ~Roxy Datte Honki Desu~) spinoff manga.
