‘Special 7 Special Crime Investigation Unit’ is the kind of anime that merges detective drama with fantasy. Now unlike other similar popular shows (‘Psycho Pass‘), nothing about will blow your mind. In fact, you’ll also be able to spot quite a lot of evident flaws in it. But considering that its Anima&Co Studio’s first anime, it is a pretty good original show. Its consistent animation is quite commendable, it’s well-paced and for the most part, it establishes some great world-building in its first season. Overall, though it’s not as engaging as it initially promises to be, you can still check it out. With that said, here is everything you need to know about its second season.
Special 7: Special Crime Investigation Unit Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere?
‘Special 7 Special Crime Investigation Unit’ Season 1 premiered on October 6, 2019 and with a total of 12 episodes, it ended on December 29, 2019.
Produced by Anima&Co., it’s an entirely original series and is not based on a manga or light novel series. Because of this, the creators of the show have the freedom to create its sequel whenever they want. However, considering its overall popularity and its average rating on most platforms, it seems very less likely that it will be renewed for another season. Also, since Anima&Co. has absolutely no other anime shows under its belt, the Studio will probably not return to an anime that isn’t all that popular. If by any chance, it is already being considered for a sequel, we can expect ‘Special 7 Special Crime Investigation Unit’ Season 2 to release sometime in 2021.

But in the present world, dragons have almost disappeared and the ones which do exist have disguised themselves as humans. Set in Tokyo, the world seems to be at peace in the present events, but that’s when a group called Nine comes out of nowhere and causes havoc all over the city. The main motive of the group is to obtain all the lost dragon powers and rule the world. But before the group can execute its sinister plan, a special police force, named the Special Crime Investigation Unit – Special 7, steps in and tries to stop them. This special force consists of officers who have special abilities that surpass the capabilities of all normal beings. With Seiji Nanatsuki as the central character, the anime follows the journey of Nine where Seiji uses his intelligence and his extraordinary strategic abilities to get past the most grueling situations.
