Kōsuke Gotō and Taketora Join the Cast of Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. Season 2
The highly anticipated second season of Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. has added two more important names to its cast. According to Anime News Network, voice actors Kōsuke Gotō and Taketora will appear in the new episodes. Gotō will voice the father of the main character Hitomi, while Taketora will bring to life the head of a research institute.
This new casting move for the second season is an important step in expanding the series' world. As you may recall, Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. has an unusual story that blends the magical girl concept with a corporate company structure. The series begins when a young girl named Kana Sakuragi joins a magical girl agency called 'Magilumiere.' Here, magical girls now fight monsters as employees, with departments, team spirit, and office dynamics taking center stage. The first season received full marks from anime fans for its humorous and emotional tone, and was particularly praised for its character development and innovative world design.
The manga is written by Iwata Kei and illustrated by Yu Aikawa. Starting in 2021, the series quickly gained popularity and was adapted into an anime by J.C.Staff in 2024. The first season aired 12 episodes, and a second season was announced right after the finale. The second season is planned for release in 2026. In the new season, the inclusion of Hitomi's father in the story may offer a deeper look into the main character's past and family ties. Additionally, it is speculated that the head of the research institute holds important secrets about the origins of magical girl technology or the enemy creatures.
With this casting announcement, fans are getting hints that the story scope of the second season will expand. Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. brought fresh air to the magical girl genre by stripping it of clichés and blending it with corporate drama. It is curious how this unique formula will evolve in the second season. In the coming months, new visuals, trailers, and release date details are expected. If you missed the first season, now is the perfect time — you can watch the anime on platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix and prepare for the second season.
