by The highly anticipated sequel is hot this summer!
In addition to new anime, the spring anime currently being broadcast includes sequels such as “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Pillar Training Arc,” the third season of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime,” and “Sound! Euphonium 3”. So, what sequels will be broadcast among the summer anime that will begin broadcasting sequentially from July 2024?
One of the most anticipated works this summer is ‘Oshi no Ko’ (original work: Akasaka Aka/illustration: Yokoyari Mengo). The first season, which aired in the spring of 2023, was a massive hit, drawing in a large fan base with its unique reincarnation suspense and the catchy theme song ‘Idol. ‘
The story revolves around twin siblings Aqua (voiced by Otsuka Takeo) and Ruby (voiced by Ikoma Yurie), who are the illegitimate children of the legendary idol Hoshino Ai (voiced by Takahashi Rie). Their mother was tragically killed in front of them when they were young. Ruby dreams of becoming an idol like her mother, while Aqua is determined to avenge her mother’s death and enter the entertainment industry. The second season will continue their journey with a 2.5-dimensional stage story based on the shounen manga Tokyo Blade,’ where two forces battle for a legendary sword.
The story depicts the “behind the scenes” you don’t usually see, such as rehearsals and interactions between the production team and the original author. The TV anime “Oshi no Ko Season 2” will air on TOKYO MX from 11:00 p.m. on July 3, 2024. You can also watch the first season on streaming services such as “U-NEXT,” “Amazon Prime Video,” and “Netflix.” “SHY” This summer, the sequel to the hero anime “SHY” (written by Miki Bukimi), which was broadcast in the fall of 2023, is also scheduled to air.
The setting of this work is an Earth where war has disappeared, and the story is spun of “heroes” with superhuman powers who suddenly appeared in each country. While various heroes are active in each country, the hero of Japan was “Shy,” also known as “Momijiyama Teru (CV: Shimoji Shino),” a shy girl who is very bad at being in front of people. In the second season, a new incident falls on Shy, who has grown a little after fighting the group “Amaraliruk,” which is hostile to heroes.
How will Shy respond to the incident where Tokyo disappears due to an unidentified “black ball”? The second season of the TV anime “SHY” will air on TV Tokyo’s six network stations and others from midnight on July 1, 2024. You can also look back on the first season on distribution services such as “U-NEXT,” “Amazon Prime Video,” and “Hulu.”
Kimi ni Todoke 3RD SEASON Since the second anime season ended in 2011, there has been no new information about Kimi ni Todoke (written by Shiina Karuho). Still, after about 13 years, it is back as Kimi ni Todoke 3RD SEASON. The story depicts the friendship and love life of high school students, with the main characters being Kuronuma Sawako (CV: Noto Mamiko), who is nicknamed “Sadako” because of her gloomy appearance, and Kazehaya Shota (CV: Namikawa Daisuke), who is refreshing and popular with all grades.
In “3RD SEASON,” Sawako and Kazehaya, who are finally united, are confused by their relationship as “lovers,” but they slowly grow closer at their own pace. Also, don’t miss the love stories of the people around Sawako and her friends. “Kimi ni Todoke 3RD SEASON” will be exclusively distributed worldwide on Netflix starting in August.
A “digest video” packed with famous scenes from seasons 1 and 2 is now available on the official Netflix channel in preparation for the long-awaited anime adaptation. These works will surely be hot topics that will liven up this summer. If you have yet to watch the previous series, watching them now, when the spring anime season is ending, may help you enjoy the summer anime that will be broadcast in July even more.
