We learned last month that a second season of Mysterious Joker was coming after the first season finished its broadcast run in Japan and simulcast by Crunchyroll. Now, this weeks release of Monthly Corocoro Comics magazine is set to land on Thursday and early pictures of key pages within it have revealed that the second season will debut on April 6th, 2015. Because of it coming so quickly after the first, it’s expected that the same production team and cast will return for the second season as there’s no real gap here in terms of production.
The series, based on the children’s oriented manga, comes from Hideyasu Takahashi and has had seventeen volumes released in Japan so far. It’s Takahashi’s first work, which he began back in 2007.
The first season of Kaitou Joker was directed by Yukiyo Teramoto with Dai Sato listed as the series organizer. Miho Shimogasa handled the character designs and it was animated by Shin-Ei Animation. It stars Ayumu Murase as Joker, Yumiko Kobayashi as Hachi, Hiro Shimono as Spade, Miyuki Sawashiro as Queen, Naoki Tatsuta as Dogusaburo Oniyama, Nobuo Tobita as Mister Kaneari, Aki Kaneda as Kaneko, Haruna Sakurai as Momo Shirai, Yuko Hara as Ginko Kurosaki and Bin Shimada as Silver Heart
Plot concept: OKER focuses on the phantom thief Joker, who travels the globe searching for treasure. Along the way, with his partner and cook Hachi, they must avoid the police and compete in various competitions to reach the Timeslip Treasure.
