Muhyo and Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation or more popularly known as Muhyo and Roji is essentially a dark fantasy that includes magical worlds and evil spirits with political forces also playing a vital role in the process.
The story follows a genius Magical Law Executor, Toru Muhyo and his assistant Roji. In the magical world where they live in, their main job is to track down the evil spirits and exorcising them. With this premise, the show follows the various adventures which the duo undertakes in their eccentric everyday life.
Despite not being in the list of best anime shows of 2018, it managed to carve out a small fanbase of its own. After the announcement in July 2019 about the second season, fans have been patiently waiting for it. Here’s everything you need to know about the show, from its release date to what the second season has to offer.
1. Season 2 Release Date
Muhyo and Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation Season 2 will have its premiere on Animax on July 7, 2020, followed by BS Skyper! on July 10 and J Tele on July 15.
Buckle up for more supernatural incidents and intriguing fights because this season will introduce a new rival, the strategist Daranimaru Goryou.
2. Theory Section
The conniving Ebisu will be making an entry this season too. He is a judge in the Magic Law Association and the right hand of Executor Daranimaru Goryou. Shinya Takahashi, the voice actor of Ebisu, said that
“Ebisu is the ideal role that I have been pursuing for many years!”
To create the hype for the second season, Animax rebroadcasted the show’s first season on February 3, with two episodes every day till February 10.
I. Financial Standings
The 12th volume of manga found itself in the seventh place in the list of ‘Weekly Best-Selling Manga Series in Japan.’
Other than that, there’s no official record of sales.
II. Animation Quality
The animation was decent to look at until one realizes that the Studio Deen is just recycling scenes from the previous episodes again and again.
It got repetitive to a certain extent and was criticized by the audience. Other than that, the animation was pleasant to look at, simple and soothing.
III. Yoshiyuki Nishi’s Health
Yoshiyuki Nishi is currently working on ‘Lycanthrope Bouken Hoken,’ and the chapters are being released at regular intervals so one can infer that he is in good health.
He is also the former assistant of Takeshi Obata.
3. Production Update
There has been no new update regarding the production of the new season. After the announcement of the second season in January 2020, Studio DEEN has been working on it for quite a few months.
Although there’s a slight possibility of the show getting delayed, it’s less likely to happen as of now.
4. Key Visual
A teaser visual, which was released in January 2020, shows the confrontation between Goryou and Muhyo.
In the latest new visual, two new characters are seen in it with several spirits behind them. Hanao Ebisu and Daranimaru Goryou will be playing pivotal roles in this season.
New Teaser/Trailer :
The trailer seems to be pointing towards the highly anticipated battle, which will take place between the prodigy Muhyo and the new powerful villain Goryou.
5. Was the First Season Good?
The first episode of the series sets the dark atmosphere through the exorcising of evil spirits sentenced by Muhyo, coming from hell itself.
At first, it seems like that this is an episodic series that follows the journey of a prodigy and a wimp. As the show settles in, the plot moves further into Muhyo’s past, giving the audience an introduction to the ‘magical world’ which the characters are a part of.
Although the show contains some typical characters and the story altogether might be unoriginal, it won’t be wrong to say that it’s equally entertaining and a bit dark in its way of storytelling.
6. Expected Storyline of Season 2
The second installment of the show will kick off with the introduction of Goryou and his close friend Ebisu. Muhyo will confront the new villain, and on the other side, Roji will face some unique challenges on his own.
Subsequently, the danger will only grow from now on due to the battle between Madoka, aka Enchuu, and others will only get more intense from now on.
This season might be the defining one for the anime series.
