    The official website for the television anime adaptation of Haruko Kumota's Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū manga series began streaming a commercial on Friday for the show's second season, titled Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen (Sukeroku Anew Arc).

    The site also revealed the show's staff, cast, and key visual. The returning and new cast includes:

    Tomokazu Seki as third generation Sukeroku / Yotarō
    Akira Ishida as Yakumo Yurakutei
    Yu Kobayashi as Konatsu
    Mikako Komatsu as Shinnosuke
    Shigeru Ushiyama as Matsuda
    Toshihiko Seki as Higuchi
    Kappei Yamaguchi as Amaken
    Takaya Hashi as Head Boss
    Yasuyuki Kase as Yakuza Boss
    Shou Sudou as Ani-san
    Koji Yusa as Mangetsu Tsuburaya
    Kouichi Yamadera as Sukeroku
    Megumi Hayashibara as Miyokichi

    Mamoru Hatakeyama is returning from the first season to direct the series at Studio DEEN. Jun Kumagai also returns to oversee the scripts, Meiko Hosoi is again designing the characters. Kana Shibue is returning to compose the music at King Records, and Kouji Tsujitani is returning as the sound director at Dax Production. Hitomi Sano and Shigemitsu Hamao are also returning as color designer and director of photography, respectively. Shinpei Hayashiya is serving as the rakugo supervisor.

    The anime will air on the Animeism programming block, and will premiere first on TBS on January 6 at 26:25 (effectively January 7 at 2:25 a.m.) before airing on MBS and on BS-TBS. The anime will also stream in Japan on 14 different services, including Amazon, Niconico, d Anime Store, Bandai Channel, and more.

    The anime's first story revolves around a mature prisoner who was released on good behavior during Japan's Showa Genroku era (1960s to early 1970s). He is called Yotarō by others, a term that means an "anti-hero" or a "dim-witted man." When he returns to society, he starts a new life in rakugo (comic storytelling). Touched by Yakumo's role as the "grim reaper," he asks the master to take him in as an apprentice. Most of the first season had delved into Yakumo's own past during World War II and the years afterward.

    The second season's stage will move forward to the modern era, with the story of Kikuhiko and Sukeroku's past now over.

    The anime's first season premiered in January. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it airs in Japan.​

    @Supernatural-Knight ,@jmriz , & @Ovyda this small morsel goes to you three. Honestly though wish I could just put myself in a state of self-induced coma and wake up the day in which this airs. Thinking I'll rewatch the First Season over my upcoming Holiday break just to refresh and job my memory.​

    Looks good, looks very good. But I need more Kikuhiko in the PV. Not too much longer left to wait now. I hope it is just as good as the first season, no scratch that. I hope it is even better if that is at all possible.
