The home video release for Dagashi Kashi second season is changing up from how the first season was done, which means not much in the way of consistency for fans who like that in their shows. The twelve episode series is getting done as two releases with six episodes each. Set to begin on March 21st, 2018, they’ll be Blu-ray only releases priced at 9,800 yen each. And shaking things up a bit more is that the artwork for both volumes have been release for the main cover and hopefully we’ll see more of a packaging spread for it in the near future.
The staffing for the second season changed from the first season across the board with Satoshi Kuwahara directing it based on the series composition by Mayumi Morita. Nana Miura is handling the character designs and Tezuka Productions is on board for the animation. Studio feel will provide cooperation on the production.
Check out our review of the first season as released in bilingual form by Funimation.
