Following the end of the first season of this new spin-off for the massively popular Puella Magi Madoka Magica franchise last Spring, it was announced that a second season was in the works.

Along with the confirmation of the July 31st premiere in Japan, Magia Record also confirmed the new opening and ending themes for the season. Magia Record‘s Season 2 opening will be titled “Careless” as performed by ClariS, and the new ending theme is titled “Lapis” as performed by TrySail. This is the theme you can hear in action with the new trailer. The staff and cast from the first season are returning for this new season as well. Unfortunately, there’s no word on where this will be streaming outside of Japan however.
There’s a good chance Season 2 will be streaming with Funimation as they are now offering the first season of the series with both its Japanese and English language dubs for fans who want to catch up before the Summer premiere. This isn’t the only new project in the franchise currently being development either as a new feature film for the main Madoka Magica anime is now in the works. But what do you think?
