The staff of the television anime of so-ma-to's Shadows House announced on Wednesday that the series' second season will premiere in July. The staff also unveiled a new visual:

The season will feature returning cast and staff.

Returning cast members include:

Creators so-ma-to had noted it was said during the first season (when they supervised the scripts) that there would be only one cours (quarter of the year) for the anime. The creators added that a new season means they would have to supervise scripts once again while still serializing the manga, but vowed to do their best.

The anime premiered in Japan on April 10. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and it also streamed an English dub. The company describes the story:

High atop a cliff sits the mansion known as Shadows House, home to a faceless clan that pretends to live like nobles. They express their emotions through living dolls that also endlessly clean the home of soot. One such servant, Emilico, aids her master Kate as they learn more about themselves and the mysteries of the house.

Kazuki Ohashi (episode director for KakeguruiGirlish NumberAce Attorney Season 2) directed the series at CloverWorks, and Toshiya Ono (The Promised NeverlandGatchaman Crowdstsuritama) oversaw the series scripts. Chizuko Kusakabe (Pumpkin ScissorsTrouble Chocolate) designed the characters, and Kenichiro Suehiro (Cells at Work!Golden KamuyRe:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-) composed the music and performed the opening theme song "A Hallow Shadow." Singer ReoNa contributed her new song "Nai Nai" as the ending theme song.

The manga launched in Weekly Young Jump in September 2018. Shueisha published the manga's ninth compiled book volume on November 19. Yen Press licensed the manga.

Kamiyama, Aramaki, Production I.G, and Sola Digital Arts are returning from the first season for the second one.

Tatsuhisa Suzuki was slated to play the new Ultraman character Kōtarō Higashi/Ultraman Taro in the second season, but he offered to step down from the role, due to his recent hiatus from "all entertainment industry activities." Tomoaki Maeno will voice the character instead.

Death Stranding Director's Cut Gets PC Release This Spring

posted on  by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Game heads to Steam, Epic Games Store

505 Games and Kojima Productions announced on Tuesday that Death Stranding: Director's Cut, the PlayStation 5 version of Kojima Productions' Death Stranding game, will have a PC release this spring on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The game launched for PS5 on September 24 last year.

The new version adds "more weapons, equipment and vehicles, a variety of new modes, missions and areas to explore, expanded storylines, and enhancements to the UI" as well as new online features such as Friend Play and Leaderboards. The PS5 version supports the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive trigger resistance. People who already own the PlayStation 4 version can get a Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade for US$10 or €10 with cross-save support.

The original game shipped for the PS4 in November 2019. The game launched on PC via Steam in July 2020 after a delay from June 2020 due to the work-from-home orders as a result of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation.

Kojima Productions describes the game:

Besieged by death's tide at every turn, Sam Bridges must brave a world utterly transformed by the Death Stranding. Carrying the stranded remnants of the future in his hands, Sam embarks on a journey to reunite the shattered world one step at a time. What is the mystery of the Death Stranding? What will Sam discover on the road ahead? A genre defining gameplay experience holds these answers and more.

Kojima Productions developed the game using Guerilla Games' Decima Engine. The game is an action game and has open-world elements with "some degree of freedom." Kojima stated the game's name originates from the phenomenon of cetacean stranding, where dolphins and whales wash up on land and die. While other games offer elements analogous to "sticks" for gameplay, Death Stranding also offers "ropes" to tie and link players together.

KanColle Anime Season 2 Premieres This Fall

posted on  by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Sequel was originally announced in 2015

The dojin circle and production company C2 Kikan confirmed on its Twitter account on Tuesday that the second season of the KanColle anime will air this fall. The announcement first came during the "Chinjufu New Year Special Live! 2022" event that ran on Monday and Tuesday. C2 Kikan is one of the rights holders for the franchise.

The event also announced that the 1MYB Tour will run this year at Tokyo's Zepp Haneda on February 14, Osaka's Zepp Namba on March 9 and 10, Zepp Nagoya on March 13, and other venues. C2 Kikan will be exhibiting at the Anime Japan 2022 convention in March.

Publisher Kadokawa reported in its financial results report in November 2019 that the "second season" of the KanColle television anime was still in production. Kadokawa told C2 Kikan in January 2021 that the second season would air in 2022.

The anime is based on a web browser game that launched in 2013, and is set in a world where humanity has lost control of the seas. The threat that has taken over the seas is the Abyssal fleet. The only ones who can counter this threat are Kan-Musu (Fleet Girls), girls who possess the spirit of naval vessels from days gone by.

The first 12-episode TV anime series premiered in January 2015 and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan. Funimation released the series on DVD and Blu-ray Disc with English subtitles and an English dub in June 2017.

The final episode of the first television anime series had revealed in March 2015 that the television anime would get a sequel. The anime's official Twitter account indicated in August 2015 that the franchise's movie project and the sequel were separate projects that went into production at the same time.

The Kantai Collection -KanColle- film opened in Japan in November 2016, and earned 560 million yen (about US$5 million) by March 2017.

Studio ENGI — the 2D/3D animation studio that publisher Kadokawa, pachinko and pachislot game machine maker Sammy, and anime holding company Ultra Super Pictures established in April 2018 — is producing the new anime.
