KEY POINTS

  • The second season for "The Misfit of Demon King Academy" has been announced
  • The show will pick up where the previous season left off
  • Silver Link retains its role as the animation studio for the show's production

“The Misfit of Demon King Academy” Season 2 is currently in the works, and it’s slated to be aired as a pair of split cours.

The announcement was made on Twitter via the show’s official account. The second season of “The Misfit of Demon King Academy” will feature the same voice cast for the three main characters and will pick up directly where the last season left off. However, the release date for the upcoming season has not yet been specified, and production will be split into two periods.

This means that there will be a relatively long break between batches of episodes once the anime actually airs. One “cour” is defined as a portion of an anime series broadcast over a three-month period, according to Manga Tokyo.

Since the second season is set to release on a two split cour basis, fans can expect a season-long break between episodes or longer. Originally, “The Misfit of Demon King Academy” is a light novel written by the author simply referred to as Shu.

The series tells the story of Anos Voldigoad, an ancient and powerful demon lord who grew tired of the ceaseless conflicts between his kind and the heroes of humanity. After compromising with the legendary human hero Kanon, Anos agrees to obliterate himself and reincarnate 2000 years later.

After reincarnating, he discovers that the narrative of the world’s history and his own legacy have been twisted by malicious parties. Anos then attends the eponymous Demon King Academy in an attempt to reclaim his title and set things right.

Despite receiving modestly positive reactions from anime critics, “Misfit of Demon King Academy” struck a chord with its viewers thanks to its intriguing plot, well-written characters and its refreshing perspective on the “overpowered main character” trope.

The show will continue to be produced by Silver Link, the animation studio that also worked on the fourth season of “Strike The Blood,” “BOFURI” and “My Next Life as a Villainess.”

The release date details for “Misfit of Demon King Academy” are still a bit hazy, but fans can expect more news about it in the upcoming anime seasons.
