As a disappointment to anime fans, it was announced that the second season of The Rising of the Shield Hero would be delayed, but it has now been given a new release date! The Rising of the Shield Hero anime has now aired for more than three years, in January of 2019….
That anime fans are so patient is a blessing. However, fans’ long wait is about to be rewarded, as the premiere date for the second season of the show was recently announced online. In other words, when can we expect the second season of The Rising of the Shield Hero to be released worldwide, and why are fans so excited?
The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 Release Date
The release date for the second season of The Rising of the SHIELD Hero has been confirmed. The official Japanese website for The Rising of the Shield Hero confirmed today that Season 2 will be released on April 6th, 2022.
Crunchyroll will stream the second season each week in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS. A Wednesday, April 6th, coincides with the original broadcast date in Japan, so the show will air on that day. Crunchyroll’s release date has not yet been announced. Nonetheless.
Kinema Citrus (the production company behind the show) was forced to delay the start of the second season by two years from its original October 2021 launch date. There was no explanation for the delay given by the production team or its distribution partners, but the ongoing problems in Japan caused by the coronavirus pandemic may have been a factor.
At this time, we do not know how many episodes will be in Season 2 of The Rising of the Shield Hero; the first season had 25.
