2021 is looking pretty good in terms of anime releases, as a new TV commercial was just released for the upcoming second season of Quintessential Quintuplets ∬ (Gotoubun no Hanayome ∬)! Check out the 15-second TV commercial here!
The upcoming season was originally announced for an October 2020 release, but was delayed due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. It is now slated for a January 2021 premiere.
The new season will be directed by Kaori (Yuyushiki, How to Keep a Mummy), replacing Satoshi Kuwabara. The series will now also be handled by Bibury Animation Studio (Azur Lane, Grisaia: Phantom Trigger), replacing Tezuka Productions. The series scripts, however, will still be handled by Keiichiro Ochi.
The second season will feature a returning cast: Kana Hanazawa (Ichika Nakano), Ayana Takesatsu (Nino Nakano), Miku Ito (Miku Nakano), Ayane Sakura (Yotsuba Nakano), and Inori Minase (Itsuki Nakano).
Quintessential Quintuplets is a shounen manga series written and illustrated by Negi Haruba. It is currently being serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine since August 2017. An anime adaptation produced by Tezuka Productions aired from January 10 to March 28, 2019, with Crunchyroll and FUNimation holding the license for the series’ North American release.
The story revolves around Futaro Uesugi, a high school student who consistently has high grades but is down on every other aspect of his life: he has no friends, his father is saddled by many debts, and he has no mother. He can only do so much to make ends meet for him and his younger sister Raiha. Because of his intelligence the rich Nakano family hires him as a tutor to five girls—quintuplets who are cute, charming, but stubbornly hate studying. Fast-forward to the future, and Futaro is revealed to have ended up marrying one of the quintuplets. But with all five sisters falling in love with him during his time tutoring them, which sister does he actually end up with?
