The information came down via the official Twitter account for Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya today that there would be a second season, something that the folks at Sentai Filmworks shared very quickly on their social media presence. The first season, which is wrapping up soon, has been streaming via Crunchyroll and Sentai Filmworks has already announced the home video acquisition for the first season which will come out some time in 2014. It won’t be a surprise to see the same happen with the second season when that debuts in the future.

The alternate world storyline from the Fate/Stay night & Fate/Zero universe delves into the characters more and showcases more of the dialogue than we’ve seen before, as well as looks at other characters that populates it.
Plot concept: Illyaviel von Einzbern seems like a normal school girl, but all that changes when a magic wand named Ruby decides that young Illya is the perfect choice to be her new “master.” On the plus side, that means Illya can use Ruby to gain magical powers. On the negative, Ruby’s previous owner, Rin Tosaka, isn’t exactly thrilled to be de-wanded, especially since she’s just accepted an assignment from the Wizard Zelretch to collect seven magical Class Cards holding legendary spirits inside. However, since the unbending wand is sticking to its decision, the only solution is for Illya to take up the task while Rin supervises. Meanwhile, another girl named Miyu has been chosen by the magic wand Sapphire as HER new master, much to the irritation of Sapphire’s previous master, Rin’s arch rival Luvia Edelfelt! Exactly what kind of plan are the wands conjuring up? It’s a mystical fantasy set in an alternate universe to the popular Fate/Stay Night franchise, in which some very familiar looking characters end up in some very different and completely unexpected situations! Prepare to be en-spelled as six magic-challenged maidens hit the road to adventure in Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya!
