A hidden gem of a fantasy anime, available on Crunchyroll, is getting a second season after a three-year wait! It’s been a fantastic year for Crunchyroll, with many popular shows returning, and this anime is just the latest. This second season gives a fresh start to a show that didn’t get enough attention the first time around, offering it a chance to find a wider audience.

The anime series based on Nana Mikoshiba and Riko Korie’s The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World first aired in 2023, and a second season has now been officially announced. The new season will premiere in October and will be animated by a different studio. You can watch a teaser revealing the new look of Season 2 below.

Season 2 of The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World is expected to premiere in October 2026. While many of the original creative team members are returning, including Masahiro Takata who will once again write, direct, and handle sound direction, the animation studio has changed. This season will be animated by Zero-G, replacing Cloud Hearts who worked on the first season. Fans have already noticed a new visual style for the main characters, hinting at these behind-the-scenes adjustments.

The new season will feature returning scriptwriters Tomoko Shinozuka and Takahito Onishi. Mariko Kawamoto will be the new character designer, taking over from Makoto Shimojima. The original voice actors – Junya Enoki as Ray White, Iori Saeki as Amelia Ros, and Akira Sekine as Ariane Olgren – are also returning.
