The second season of Chaika – The Coffin Princess had its premiere date set recently and that means the TV spots will start debuting amid other shows and through web channels in order to raise awareness for it. Kadokawa has added that new spot to their channel now and it definitely sets the tone well for it. The series is returning on October 8th, 2014 on Tokyo MX, sun TV and TVQ Kyushu and then rolling out over the next two days to other regions.
The series is animated by Bones with directer Soichi Masui directing, which is amusing since he did Scrapped Princess as well. The series will be adapted by Touko Machida while Nobuhiro Arai will be handling the character designs. Known as Hitsugime no Chaika in Japan, the novels began back in 2010 and a manga adaptation kicked off in late 2011.
Crunchyroll simulcast the first season in the U.S.A, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Turkey, Latin America (Central and South America including Caribbean), Europe (excluding German speaking territories), the Arab League, and the Middle East.
Plot concept: The story revolves around Toru Acura, a 20-year-old retired soldier who struggles to cope with ordinary life now that the war has ended. He meets Chaika Trabant, a 14-year-old sorceress carrying a coffin, and follows her in hopes of finding meaning to his life again. The two also travel with Toru’s adopted sister Akari, who is their main source of income.
