The Aniplex booth at AnimeJapan 2023 announced on Saturday a second season of the Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle - Rhyme Anima television anime series.

A-1 Pictures produced the 13-episode first season, which aired in Fall 2020. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime with English subtitles.

Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle is a multimedia project created by King Records that centers around six units who participate in rap battles. The voice actors of these characters also perform live at stage events and concerts. Since launching in 2017, the multimedia project has had multiple live events, albums, and manga releases.

Synopsis
In a world overtaken by war and conflict, "Hypnosis Microphones"—devices through which a user channels lyrics that can affect the listener's brain and even cause physical damage—were introduced to the masses by the Party of Words. Revolutionizing warfare, Hypnosis Mics have transformed words and music into the sole weapons used by gangsters, terrorists, and the military, with physical weapons having been banned from use.

As a result of swooping in during the chaos, the all-female Party of Words rules over the Japanese government. Women in Japan now live in Chuuouku, while men battle over surrounding territories outside the ward through rap battles.

With intentions unknown, the Party of Words begins to gather the former members of the now-disbanded legendary rap crew The Dirty Dawg to fight not for territory or war, but for their respective crew's pride and honor in the greatest rap battle of all time. The first Division Rap Battle is about to commence, and practice isn't something these rappers are going to need. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

As much as like the franchise, but this is so out of the blue. I was more than sure the anime was the usual one off subpar attempt at promoting the original material and not much more (even with the glaring cliffhanger and teaser at the end of the last episode). So it getting a 2nd season is truly unexpected. Now I'm curious if they'll continue with the former approach of making an original story or decide to follow the manga/drama CDs from now on (even if that change might be on the more jarring side).

If I understood right from live it's going to be original story and have also some original characters

But little mixed feelings with dh and bat getting animeted. A little fear if it's not good and I won't like characters in anime

More nonsense! Can't wait to watch and laugh myself to death! Also we'll get new songs, woohoo!

Yes!!! I've been waiting for a second season of HypMic ever since DH(Osaka Division) and BAT(Nagoya Division) were featured at the end of Season 1. The 2nd DRB was very intense so I'm hoping they would cover that too.

Can't Wait!!!

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this ever since the 1st season ended. Every livestream and announcement they had I was hoping they'd mention 2nd season, and here we are! I hope it's as silly as the 1st one, especially since we should be getting BAT and DH as well this time.
