Blue Miburo Second Cour Opening and Cast Announced

The official website of the action anime Blue Miburo has released a promotional video for the second cour of the anime starting January 11.
The video features the new opening theme “OOKAMI” by Umeda Cypher. The new ending theme will be “Fragment” by osage.

Four new cast members were announced:

• Miyano Mamoru as Kyouhachi Youtarou
• Anzai Chika as Kyouhachi Nagi
• Takahashi Rie as Sakura
• Kujira as Hebi

Messages from the new cast were shared:

Miyano Mamoru (Voice of Kyouhachi Youtarou):

“This time, I will be playing the role of Kyouhachi Youtarou. Youtarou is a gentle and kindhearted man. He will also be deeply involved with the “Risshidan,” an important group for Miburo. His background is complicated, so if you think about his past, you can see that he is not just a “straightforward” man, but what does he carry, what does he think, and what does he value in his fight? I hope you will feel this in the story.”

Anzai Chika (Voice of Kyouhachi Nagi):

“Having read the original work, I was deeply moved by the journey of Nio and the Miburo. I believe that the Blood of the Risshidan arc will be a very influential story for both the Miburo and Nio, so as a reader, I am looking forward to seeing it animated. The words of Kyouhachi Nagi, whom I voice, made me realize and think about many things. She is a person with beautiful strength. Please watch not only the original work but also the anime to see how her strength will affect Nio and the Miburo!”

Takahashi Rie (Voice of Sakura):

“I am Takahashi Rie, and I will be voicing Sakura. Sakura made her own decision in the face of adversity. She was also a strong, resilient woman who could run forward in this era. I hope you will enjoy discovering who Sakura will interact with and how they will interact in this work.”

Kujira (Voice of Hebi):

“Snakes… speaking of snakes, it seems the name is ‘Kujira’ so I’m happy. Thank you for that. It’s a mysterious role, I think it’s probably a woman… After all, it’s a snake. I wonder how she’ll be involved with the Shinsengumi. I’m excited, the snake is apparently the owner of a bar? A snack bar? As expected, the owner of the bar seems to be ‘Kujira’ so I’m happy…”

A new key visual was also unveiled.

About Blue Miburo:
The arrival of the Black Ships caused upheaval in Kyoto at the end of the Edo period. The kindhearted boy, Nio, meets Miburo’s Hijikata Toshizou and Okita Souji, members of the Mibu Roshi-gumi, who later become the Shinsengumi. In an era when money, land, and even life are unjustly taken away, the members of Miburo protect the city of Kyoto with their own sense of justice in their hearts. “I want to become strong too. I want to change this world.” After meeting Miburo, the fate of an ordinary 13-year-old boy begins to move forward in a big way!
