Tamayura 2nd Season Announced

Last update - Mar 28, 21:42 GMT (16:42 EST, 13:42 PST)

The official website of the Tamayura anime series is announcing that a 2nd season is heading our way. Sounds like a new TV series, to follow last year's TV anime which, in turn, followed the initial OVA from 2010. That was the third "healing anime" directed by Junichi Sato (Aria, Umi Monogatari), and created by Hal Film Maker.



The original story's heroine is Fuu Sawatari, a girl who lives in a waterside town near the Seto Inland Sea and likes photography. Details about Tamayura's 2nd season have not been revealed yet, but it should be safe to anticipate a 2012 release (my bet is on October). In the meantime, Tamayura: Hitotose's Blu-ray and DVD volumes continue to be released in Japan, with the final volume (#7) - out on June 27 - set to include the unaired "episode 5.5".

And don't forget that director Junichi Sato had also announced another new anime project earlier this month, an OVA titled One Off, planned for a 2012 release.

And finally, you might want to take a look around the local Tamayura gallery, as it's been updated today with a bunch of pretty pics!

Update: The second season is planned for 2013.
