Spin-offs centered around the next generation of classic anime are generally not well received by the fans. However, Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon is one spin-off that exceeded expectations.
The show features children of the main characters from the popular series Inuyasha. Based on the same concept of time travel and demons, this series has three female protagonists full of untapped potential and demon powers.
Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Part 2 announced that the male idol group, NEWS, will perform the opening theme of the series. The anime will premiere on October 2nd, 2021.

NEWS had worked with the Yashahime franchise before as they also produced the opening theme for the Season 1 of the show.
The story starts with the twin sisters, Towa and Setsuna, who used to have a tight-knit bond until they were separated one day as kids.
Setsuna’s dreams and memories of Towa are stolen by the Dream Butterfly, making her a cold and distant person.
The twins are soon joined by their cousin Moroha, who makes a living by bounty hunting. With little to no memories of their parents, who are hailed as legends and heroes, the girls set on a journey to restore Setsuna’s memories.
The show will be available on streaming giants like Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Funimation for the fans to watch.
Season 1 ended on a rather sad note with Setsuna’s apparent death and the girls’ defeat by Kirinmaru, the show’s main antagonist. However, Sesshōmaru saves the day by giving his daughter Towa a gift powerful enough to revive Setsuna.
My guess for the upcoming season is that they will be able to revive Setsuna and practice more to control their powers.
But I also sense something shady happening behind the scenes that will come back and prove to be major trouble for the cousins.
The series is worth the watch, and I assure you that it won’t disappoint like the other spin-offs based on the younger generations.
Also, since there is time till October, you can easily finish the 25-episode long Season 1. Do let us know your speculations about the upcoming season!

Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened!
This allowed Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a Demon Slayer working for Kohaku.
