The summer 2017 anime series Restaurant to Another World has long come and gone but we saw earlier this year that a second season could be upon us. Recently, Crunchyroll made their move with the show by announcing at Anime Expo Lite that they’ve picked it up for the fall 2021 season when it’ll air. Now, the Japanese side has updated with a new key visual below as well as a 60-second promotional video that shows off more of the animation.
The difference this time around is that OLM is handling the animation production instead of Silver Link and that Yasukazu Shoji is on board as the character designer.

Plot Concept: Welcome to Nekoya-a quaint little eatery that specializes in western-style cuisine. The diner gets decent local business from normal folk around town, but behind the scenes, it opens its doors to customers of a more unique, exotic variety. Every seven days, people and creatures, from different corners of another world, flock to the restaurant to munch on their favorite dishes. And despite the wide range of patrons, there’s always something delicious available-even for those with the most particular preferences and palates.
So, take a seat and get comfortable. We’ll make a regular out of you yet!
