The winter 2019 anime series Quintissential Quintuplets revealed back in May 2019 that a second season was coming and it’s taking a bit to get here. Originally set for the fall 2020 season before the pandemic created quite the anime shuffle, the series is set for a January 2021 debut and we’re going to start getting more updates on it now. The first one has come in with TBS Animation dropping a new 15-second promo TV spot for it to get us excited about the show. We also have a new key visual to check out after the promo as well.
The second season has Kaori directing the series and that Bibury Animation Studio has taken over the production for it. The main cast are all returning.
The first season was directed by Satoshi Kuwabara based on the series composition by Keiichiro Ochi. Michinosuke Nakamura and Miyabu Uta are handling the character designs with Tezuka Productions working on the animation.
The Japanese cast includes Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Futaro Uesugi, Kana Hanazawa as Ichika Nakano, Ayana Taketatsu as Nino Nakano, Miku Itō as Miku Nakano, Ayane Sakura as Yotsuba Nakano, Inori Minase as Itsuki Nakano, Natsumi Takamori as Raiha Uesugi, and Satoshi Hino as Isanari Uesugi.
The series comes from creator Negi Haruba which began in August 2017. Kodansha Comics picked up the rights to the Quintissential Quintuplets manga for domestic release back in June 2018.
