Tougen Anki to return for second season

Shonen series Tougen Anki will return for a second season, confirmed with a trailer launched on the official REMOW channel "It's Anime". The series has been a hit on Amazon Prime, currently sitting at the #2 slot for most popular anime series, ahead of Sanda (#3) and From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman (#1). 

Based on the traditional story of a war between Momotaro and the Oni, the modern update seems to have struck a chord.

Watch the trailer below:

Synopsis:

"You inherit the blood of an Oni (demon)..."

The bloodlines of "Oni" and "Momotaro" have been passed down among certain humans for generations. Long ago, the Oni, aware of their own ferocity, lived in seclusion. However, their peace was shattered by an invasion led by Momotaro. Over thousands of years, these two factions formed the "Momotaro Agency" and the "Oni Agency," respectively, and have been locked in conflict ever since.

The protagonist, Shiki Ichinose, suddenly learns of his Oni lineage following an unexpected attack by Momotaro. This revelation sets Shiki on a path to discover the destiny that lies within his blood — a meeting with the Oni dwelling within him. —A new generation of dark heroics begins here in this tale of demons!
