It has been announced that the second season of the TV anime “Nigejou no Wakakuni” will be produced. Along with the announcement, a calligraphy piece by calligrapher Maeda Kamari, with a dynamic calligraphy design against the background of the Hojo family crest, stating “The second season will be produced” was also made public.
“Nigejou no Wakakunin” is a historical spectacle based on a manga currently being serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump” by Matsui Yusei, who is also known for “Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro” and “Assassination Classroom”. It depicts the story of Hojo Tokiyuki, the sole survivor of the Hojo clan, as he makes his way through a turbulent world after the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate. The original work won the “69th Shogakukan Manga Award” and has sold over 3 million copies in total.
The TV anime was directed by Yamazaki Yuta (the kanji for “崎” is pronounced “tatsusaki”), assistant director of “Wonder Egg Priority”, and animation was produced by CloverWorks (Bocchi the Rock!, etc.). The series was composed by Tomita Yoriko (Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru), and character design was by Nishitani Yasushi (chief animation director of “Pokémon the Movie: Coco”), weaving a piece of history with beautiful and powerful images. Broadcasting began in July, with the final episode airing on September 28th.
It has now been decided that the second season of this TV anime will be produced. The inscription “The second season will be produced” was written by calligrapher Maeda Kamatari. Maeda’s dynamic calligraphy is designed with the Hojo family crest in the background. Anticipation is building to see how the story of a boy, which begins with the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate, will be animated in the future.
The first volume of the six-volume Blu-ray and DVD series of the TV anime “Nigejou no Wakakuni” is currently on sale. The digital jackets for volumes 1 and 2, illustrated by character designer and chief animation director Nishitani Yasushi, have also been released, so be sure to check them out too.
