A Returner's Magic Should Be Special Season 2 Starts in October, Opening Song by FLOW
An exciting announcement has been made for the second season of A Returner's Magic Should Be Special anime. According to official sources, the new season of the series will meet viewers in October 2026. Additionally, it was confirmed that the opening song will be performed by the famous rock band FLOW, who delivered an unforgettable performance in the first season as well. The band's new track "Sorrow" promises to complement the dark and epic atmosphere of the series with a fitting tone.
The first season of A Returner's Magic Should Be Special aired in October 2023, and it is a fantasy action production directed by Taishi Kawaguchi. The story follows Desir Arman, a young mage who gains the power to return to the past after a catastrophe that brings about the end of the world, and his struggle to correct past mistakes. The production is based on the popular webtoon series of the same name written by Usonagi and illustrated by Wook-jak. The webtoon has amassed a huge fan base globally.
While preparations for the second season are underway, it is stated that studio Arvo Animation (the producer of the first season) will not compromise on quality. Fans are eager due to the major mysteries remaining at the end of the first season and the new threats Desir faces. In particular, the opening song "Sorrow" is expected to reflect a more melancholic side of FLOW, in addition to the energetic style they have used in productions such as Naruto and Code Geass. FLOW's song "Get Back" from the first season also became one of the series' most beloved tracks.
The number of episodes for the second season or the streaming platforms it will be available on have not yet been officially announced. However, considering that the first season aired on platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix, the second season is likely to follow a similar distribution strategy. New trailers, character introductions, and additional cast information may be shared until October. For fans of A Returner's Magic Should Be Special, this announcement has been one of the most exciting anime news of the year.
