The Misfit of Demon King Academy Second Season Announced at Aniplex Online Fest 2022!
The hit show featuring the overpowered demon lord, Anos Voldigoad will return in a few months. At the Aniplex Online Fest in Yokohama, developments associated with the new season were discussed amongst the hosts.
A new trailer was released as well. Yuichiro Umehara replaced Tatsuhisa Suzuki as the main Voice Actor after the latter was involved in a scandal that highlighted his extramarital affair while being married to popstar LiSA (known for Gurenge in Kimestsu no Yaiba). This led to Tatsuhisa having to step back from various roles. However, he is still going to voice Makoto Tachibana in Free!
This is the trailer played at Aniplex Online Fest 2022 for the fans present in the arena and those who tuned in via YouTube. Have a look.
Here’s the new key visual.
Not much is shown in the trailer apart from glimpses of certain characters. The central trio (comprising Anos, Misha, and Sasha) mostly fills up the frames. The series will be divided into two parts to bring in great animation and less pressure on the artists and writers.
Fans have spoken about the difference between the leading VAs. Yuichiro Umehara’s voice as Anos has a deeper, foreboding tone that aptly suits the demon lord, whereas Tatsuhisa highlights his carefree and confident attitude more. Nevertheless, I think the show will keep garnering fans as soon as the anime releases in 2023.

To date, 12 volumes of the light novels have been compiled over four years; it is currently ongoing.
