Studio J.C. Staff returned to animate Edens Zero Season 2. After two years of waiting, our favorite space fantasy crew is back! The first half of Edens Zero Season 2 covered the gruesome Belial Gore arc while the new cour will kick off the Aoi Cosmos Saga starting with the Red Cave arc of the manga, covering chapters 105-111 (Volume 13). The following arcs include the Foresta arc (22 chapters), Sandra arc (5 chapters), and Nero 66 arc (31 chapters). The anime has yet to crack a spot in the Top 10 for our weekly polls since it began airing during the spring, so make sure to vote for the series while part 2 is airing!

Edens Zero is an anime adaptation of the original manga series written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima. The manga began serialization in June 2018 in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine and has released a total of 26 volumes. Ishihira is the chief director for Edens Zero Season 2 with Toshinori Watanabe credited as a director. Hirota is handling the series composition with Yurika Sako in charge of the character designs. Yoshihisa Hirano is composing the soundtrack.

Volume 13 of Edens Zero is described as the following:
Hot under the water after their disastrous encounter with the bizarro Demon King Ziggy, Shiki and his friends set out on a journey into outer space, beyond the Sakura Cosmos. Their first stop is in the Aoi Cosmos, on a planet largely covered in water. Under the vast ocean, they find a temple housing a critical clue to finding the matriarch of the cosmos, Mother! But in order to obtain the clue, Shiki must overcome a fiery obstacle that requires enlisting the tearful aid of an unexpected ally.
