posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the "Reiwa-era" anime project for Kei Ikeda's Zenryoku Usagi manga revealed a promotional video on Friday for the anime's second season. The new season will debut on Chiba TV on April 9, and on TV Kanagawa and TV Saitama on April 13. It will also begin streaming on d Anime Store on April 9.
The returning cast members are:
- Ayu Matsuura as Trainee
- Kenta Miyake as Boss
- Minoru Shiraishi as Shift Head
- Saori Hayami as Nee-san
- Rie Takahashi as Young Lady
- Yusuke Shirai as Business
- Mayu Iino as Mikuro-san
Atsushi Nigorikawa is returning to direct the second season at Rising Force. Mimi Satsuki is writing the second season's script, replacing Misaki Morie, and Miki Urashima is again designing the characters. Pickup's Shinya Satō and Hiroshi Ukai (Bros. Bird, Inc) are also returning as producers.
The anime's first season premiered in October 2023.
The gag comedy centers around hardworking construction builders — who happen to be rabbits — with the simple mottos "Give everything you've got in anything you do" and "Live with everything you've got."
Ikeda first posted the manga online, and Media Factory (later Kadokawa) published the manga in four volumes with two side-story volumes.
The manga already inspired a series of 52 shorts that aired in Japan within the Chibi Ani Gekijō (Tiny Anime Theater) program in 2008 (during Japan's previous Heisei era). Ikeda and Media Factory have also created numerous spinoff goods featuring the characters.
