Drifters Second Season Announced

They’re Back To Slice Their Way Across Time

Take the signature art style and penchant for blood that you would find in Hellsing Ultimate, feature a cast of characters made up of famous historical figures, and throw in elves just for good measure. That’s the foundation that made up this absurdly violent anime, and boy oh boy was it a fun ride!

As it happens, the teaser shown at the end of the final episode wasn’t lying to us, as a second season has indeed been announced!

According to an article on Anime News Network

In an interview published in the November issue of Shonengahosha‘s Young King Ours magazine on Saturday, Drifters director Kenichi Suzuki said that the sequel for the anime series will start with a release of episodes 13 and 14 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Suzuki added that episode 13 will feature a dispute between Saint-Germi and Nobunaga.

The package release will also include a revised version of episodes 10-12 with several additional cuts as a bonus. Suzuki said that the schedule was “intense” for the anime’s second half and there were parts the staff couldn’t correct before the episodes aired.

The December issue of Young King Ours will reveal more information about the anime’s sequel when it ships on October 30.

The 12th and final episode of the Drifters television anime in December featured an end card that teased a second season in “20XX.” The final episode also showed an end card for “Act 13 Rewrite.”

The anime celebrates the 70th anniversary of Shonengahosha, the publisher of the original manga by Kouta Hirano. Kenichi Suzuki (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders series director) directed the anime. Hideyuki Kurata (The World God Only Knows, Tokyo Ravens, Maria the Virgin Witch) handled the series composition and wrote the scripts. Yousuke Kuroda (Hellsing Ultimate, Gungrave) also wrote the scripts along with Kurata. Ryoji Nakamori (Hellsing Ultimate) designed the characters and also served as chief animation director.

As long as this new season features plenty more crazy cameos, an absurd amount of stylised gore as well as more sass from out beloved bloodthirsty leads, we’re already sold!
