‘Etotama’ is a wacky anime and is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. While most modern fantasy anime shows are too inclined towards pleasing Isekai lovers, ‘Etotama’ stands out and offers a completely original story. It also adopts an animation style that completely suits its pleasant, cheerful themes. It even involves several moe-styled battle scenes that have been surprisingly choreographed in the best possible way.

‘Etotama’ is just one of those fun-filled anime shows that can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone, regardless of your age. And though it does have some flaws, you must certainly give it shot. If you have seen its first season and had a good time watching it, you’re probably wondering if it will return with a second season. To know more about the possibilities of its renewal, move on to the next section.

Etotama Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere?

‘Etotama’ season 1 premiered on Apr 9, 2015, and with a total of 12 episodes, it ended on June 25, 2015. Produced by Encourage Films and Shirogumi, ‘Etotama’ is an original anime which means that it has not been adapted from a manga or light novel series. Its first season was not too popular and had an average rating on most anime platforms but despite that, its season 2 has already been green-flagged by its creators.

As of now, the next season is still in production and its creators have not announced any official dates for its release. The good news for the fans of the series is that its creators are also working on another new installment for the series. Although not a full-fledged second season, this new installment is a short film.

The anime’s official Twitter account tweeted: “We plan to produce and publish a new original Etotama animation as an animated short film. We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us that it took so long before the official announcement of this production was made. Although it will be a short one, we hope we can bring you a fun and vibrant end product that is typical of this franchise. In addition, we plan to make it available to everyone so we will have more details on it by the end of 2020″.
