The summer 2016 anime series Tsukiuta had the reveal at the end of 2018 that a second season was coming, which wasn’t too much of a surprise as the merchandising for it has been going well in Japan. With a 2019 debut planned for Tsukiuta 2 originally, it was shifted to a spring 2020 debut date the last update we got of note. Now, the show has cited recent global issues behind its delay which is now set for the summer 2020 season where it’ll be on the main broadcast networks.
Yukio Nishimoto is directing based on the scripts from Natsuko Takahashi. Michinori Chiba and Ai Yokoyama are working on the character designs that Jiku originally created while Children’s Playground Entertainment will handle the animation production.
Check out our review of the first season of the series.
The first season was directed by Itsuro Kawasaki, it’s working with scripts by Sayaka Harada and character designs by Yukiko Ban. Animation was produced by Studio Pierrot. The property is an interesting one that certainly plays to various aspects of Japanese culture as well as the way anything can be made human as it’s about human representations of the months of the year combined with music and attractive characters. The cast is made up of those that have participated in the CDs.
The Japanese cast includes Six Gravity members Yuuki Kaji, Kousuke Toriumi, Toshiki Masuda, Tomoaki Maeno, Yoshimasa Hosoya, KENN.
