Sabikui Bisco Season 2 puts Bisco and Milo on wanted posters in its first teaser visual
The image, stamped "Sighted in Izumo," debuted at Dengeki Bunko's autumn online festival more than three years after OZ's sequel was confirmed. There is still no date, cast or staff list.
Bisco Akaboshi and Milo Nekoyanagi are wanted men again. The first teaser visual for the second season of Sabikui Bisco shows the pair on two wanted posters, with a strip of paper slapped across them that reads "Sighted in Izumo."
The image was first shown on ABEMA as part of this year's autumn online festival from Dengeki Bunko, the Kadokawa light novel label that uses the event to showcase adaptations of its books. The anime's official X account then posted it on Saturday, October 3, and promised that further updates would come through that feed. For now the season has no announced premiere date, cast or staff.
The sequel has been on the books for a while. Kadokawa confirmed it back in July 2023, on the stream for the label's 30th-anniversary summer festival, and OZ, which made the first season, came back to animate it.
In the story, Bisco is already a fugitive. Shinji Cobkubo's light novels, published by Dengeki Bunko with art by K Akagishi, are set in a post-apocalyptic Japan overtaken by dust desert, where fungi offer the only way to survive. Bisco is an expert archer with a price on his head who is searching for the Sabikui, a legendary mushroom believed to eat away rust; he travels with a giant crab and Milo, a young doctor, hoping to save the country.
The first season ran for 12 episodes in winter 2022. Atsushi Ikariya directed it at OZ, Sadayuki Murai was in charge of series composition, and Ai Asari designed the characters together with Ikariya. Outside Japan, that season streams on Crunchyroll across North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and over 100 more territories; at home, five services carry it.
