Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles Season 2

The previously announced second season of Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles will air sometime in 2024, the production team has confirmed. A brief web anime video starring Celia Claire and the official anime's Twitter account both verified the news.

Japan broadcast the anime's first 12-episode season on July 5, 2021, and ran it until September 21, 2021. The anime series was streamed globally by Crunchyroll as soon as it aired in Japan.

Osamu Yamasaki (ItaKiss), who directed the first season, will return as director of the second, and character designer Kyoko Yufu (DARLING in the FRANXX) will also be back. Together with Mitsutaka Hirota (Rent-A-Girlfriend), Megumu Sasano (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo), and Yoshiko Nakamura (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-), Yamasaki wrote the series screenplay for the first season.

                             

Takehiko Segawa (Arte), Tomoko Kohioki (Citrus), Norimasa Teramoto (SSSS.Gridman), Keisuke Yanagi (Rail Wars!) as editor, Hiroto Morishita (Beelzebub) as sound director, and Yasuyuki Yamazaki (Lord Marksman and Vanadis) as music composer are among the other season one staff members. The series' animation production was handled by TMS Entertainment. 

                         

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Rio/Haruto Amakawa, Akane Fujita as Celia Claire, Yuuki Kuwahara as Aishia, Tomori Kusunoki as Latifa, Sayaka Harada as Miharu Ayase, Sayumi Suzushiro as Christina Beltrum, Kaede Hondo as Flora Beltrum, Sayaka Kaneko as Roanna Fontaine, Kenji Hamada as Alfred Emerle, Atsushi Tamaru as Charles Arbor, Hiyori Nitta as Sara, Yukina Shutou as Orphia, and Asuka Nishi as Alma are among those providing voice acting roles.

Drawings by Riv, the light novel series written by Yuuri Kitayama served as the inspiration for Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles. The web novel adaptation of the series debuted on Shousetsuka ni Narou on February 12, 2014, and ran there until October 30, 2020. The light novels were then published by Hobby Japan on October 1, 2015, and as of February 2023, 23 volumes had been released.

In 2017, Futago Minaduki created a manga adaptation based on the series. There have been nine tankoubon volumes published as of February 2023, making it the second manga adaptation of the series overall.

                       

J-Novel Club releases the light novels and manga in English and describes the synopsis as:

Meet Rio: a callous orphaned boy living in the slums. At only 7-years-old, he realizes he’s actually the reincarnation of Haruto Amakawa, a Japanese university student with a tragic past. While still reeling from this shocking epiphany, Rio also comes to learn that he possesses extremely potent magical abilities and uses his new powers to solve the kidnapping case of a little girl. His good deed is acknowledged, and he’s rewarded by being enrolled into… a prestigious academy for noble children…?
