After a
prolonged silence and an adjustment in the calendar that made more than one
follower break out in a cold sweat, the story of the detective and his
unfortunate assistant is ready to take flight again. The production of
the second season of The Detective Is Already Dead (Tantei
wa Mou, Shindeiru.) revealed its third official trailer along with a new
promotional image, confirming that the series will return to screens this
coming October 7.
The new
video trailer offered a deeper look at the surprises this sequel holds,
officially introducing two new characters to join the plot. Voice actress Akari
Komiyama will lend her voice to Mia Whitlock, while the renowned Nobuhiko
Okamoto will take on the role of Scarlet. Although the publisher
Kadokawa had initially planned to release these new episodes in the middle of
the year, the production preferred to take a few extra months to fine-tune the
details before their arrival in the fall.
The main
cast of the first installment will be back almost in their entirety. Arata
Nagai will reprise his role as the troubled Kimihiko Kimizuka,
accompanied by Saki Miyashita in the role of the unforgettable
Siesta and Nights. The cast is complemented by the talents of Ayana
Taketatsu as Nagisa Natsunagi, Kanon Takao as Yui
Saikawa, Saho Shirasu as Charlotte Arisaka Anderson, Mai
Fuchigami as Fubi Kase, Yumiri Hanamori as
Hell, Maria Naganawa as Alicia, and Yoshitsugu
Matsuoka as Komori.
Behind the
scenes, the ENGI studio is once again taking the reins of
animation with the direction of Manabu Kurihara. The scripts will
again be in charge of Deko Akao, while Yosuke Ito returns
to be in charge of character design. In the musical section, the composer 40mP was
not only responsible for the soundtrack, but also wrote and arranged the main
themes. Singer Kome will perform the opening theme titled
"Kono Shinzo ni Hanabata wo," while Kagura Nana will
return to lend her vocals to the closing theme song "Hakuchumu."
