The ten episode second season of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! ended back in September and there hasn’t been much said since it announced that there would be a series called Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! Herz!. We knew it was going to land in 2015 and guessed at a summer season. That’s now been revealed to be accurate as the official site has updated in Japan today with a key visual of some of the leading ladies in swimwear to promote its summer broadcast (and presumable simulcast) debut.
This will mark the third season of the property that deals with the alternate world setting from the Fate/stay night universe as written and illustrated by Hiroshi Hiroyama. The series began in 2007 and has run several short run series with each working its own progression and theme while tied to the larger work.
Sentai Filmworks has licensed and released the first series on DVD and Blu-ray in bilingual form and has picked up the second series as well.
Property concept: Illyasviel von Einzbern’s normal life is suddenly halted by the Kaleidostick Ruby, a magical wand on the run from her former master who instantly decides that little Illya has all the right stuff to become the next great magical girl. However, Ruby’s previous owner Rin Tohsaka isn’t exactly thrilled to be de-wanded, especially since she’s just accepted an assignment to collect the seven legendary Class Cards. It seems the only solution is for Illya to take up the task and learn the ropes under Rin’s supervision.
Meanwhile, a girl named Miyu has been chosen by the Kaleidostick Sapphire as HER new master, much to the irritation of Sapphire’s previous master, Rin’s arch rival Luviagelita Edelfelt! Exactly what kind of plan are the wands conjuring up? Find out as the Fate/stay night universe “kaleids” with a healthy dose of magical girl mayhem!
