Disney has demonstrated a strong commitment to anime in recent times, consistently bringing new series to both Disney+ and Hulu.
Last year, one of its major anime adaptations, Ishura, made its debut on Hulu in North America, concluding its first season this week. Now, fans can eagerly anticipate the continuation of Ishura’s story in its second season.
Despite being a newcomer to the anime scene, Ishura boasted a star-studded cast with seasoned veterans of the medium. Renowned voice actors such as Yuki Kaji from Attack on Titan, Reina Ueda from Demon Slayer, and Akio Ohtsuka from Vinland Saga lent their talents to the series.
With the original light novel series commencing in 2019 and still ongoing with nine volumes of manga, there is ample source material for the upcoming season.
Confirmation of Ishura Season 2 came via a new trailer released online earlier today. The first season, produced by studios Passione and Sanzigen, hinted at a promising future for the anime adaptation, with both production houses expected to return for the continuation.
The official Ishura website announced the renewal for the second season, stating,
“The second period begins. After the final episode of the TV anime ‘Ishura’ has finished airing, the production decision for the second season has been announced.”

Alongside this announcement, a teaser visual and a special video featuring Kuuro the Preceptor, an important character in the story, were released. Fans can stay updated with the latest information about the second season on the official website and other platforms.
For those who haven’t yet experienced Ishura on Hulu, the streaming service describes the series as follows:
“In a world where the Demon King has died, a host of demigods capable of felling him have inherited the world.”
The series follows a diverse array of characters, each possessing unique abilities and aspirations, as they vie for the title of “True Hero” by facing formidable foes and engaging in conflicts with one another. The battle to determine the mightiest among them sets the stage for an epic journey filled with action and intrigue.
