The Misfit of Demon King Academy has been setting the stage for its big comeback with Season 2 of the anime, and it has finally revealed the release window for the new episodes with a new poster! The anime adaptation for Shu and Yoshinori Shizuma’s original light novel series was one of the few new anime projects that managed to release during the chaotic Summer 2020 anime schedule, but it was such a hit that a second season was quickly announced to be in the works. Word has been scarce about this new season ever since then, but now we have gotten one of the most concrete updates yet.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 previously announced that it would run for two cours of episodes with a seasonal break in between, and now the latest update from the series has confirmed that Season 2 will kick off some time in 2023. Unfortunately, this is far from a concrete release date but the split cours mean that if the series starts, let’s say in the Spring 2023 season, it will then return for Part 2 in the Fall 2023 season. But that’s if both halves premiere within the year. Check out the updated poster for Season 2 below:ย
It’s yet to be revealed if it will feature a returning production staff, but Anos Voldigoad himself will now feature Yuichiro Umehara (Weather Report in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean) as the voice actor, replacing Tatsuhisa Suzuki from the first season. If you wanted to check out what all the fuss is about, the first season of the series is now streaming with Crunchyroll. They describeย The Misfit of Demon King Academyย as such:
“Anos Voldigord was a tyrannical Demon King that eradicated humans, spirits, and even the gods, but became bored of eternal warfare and reincarnated with dreams of a peaceful world. However, what awaited him in reincarnation after 2000 years were descendants who became too weak after being accustomed to peace, and all sorts of magic that deteriorated to the extreme. Anos enters Demon King Academy that gathers and educates those who are viewed as the reincarnation of the Demon King, but the academy could not see through his true powers and ends up branding him as a misfit.”
