The official website of the new Urusei Yatsura television anime revealed three additional cast for the second season on Thursday. The new season is scheduled to premiere in January 2024.

Cast
Shingo: Nobunaga Shimazaki (Fruits Basket 1st Season)
Kokeru Moroboshi: Motoko Kumai (Cardcaptor Sakura)
Nozomi: Manaka Iwami (Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken)

Hideya Takahashi (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze) and Yasuhiro Kimura (2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu) returns to helm the anime at David Production. Yuuko Kakihara (Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara) is handling the series composition and Naoyuki Asano (Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!) is designing the characters.

@Catalano Thank you! I like their pairing, if we can call it that.

@RobertBobert aha now I remember, LOL that part was hilarious, it's OVA episode based on late manga chapters.
I think we'll get an episode because he was liked and it'll be a 2 chapters adaptation which means 1 episode easily.
I'll let you know if I see a VA for his character.

@Catalano I don't know his name, only that he's the opposite of that androgynous tomboy.

@RobertBobert what's his name though? For the moment we don't know the exact adapted chapters like we did for s1 but I can tell you some manga info.

@Catalano If you know about it, could you tell me in which arc/subjectively how many episodes later the ghostly otokonoko character might appear?

I'm waiting for Inaba's VA

I'm like 16 episodes into the remake so far and honestly it's so cool that it's getting another season next year. All i can really say about the first season itself is that it's a very good remake of the original series overall.

It's a little cute to read VA's comments about how the original show existed before they were born.
