The Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. (The Detective Is Already Dead) stage at the MF Bunko J Summer School Festival 2022 event announced a second season for the television anime series on Sunday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured).

The anime adapts Nigojuu's mystery romantic comedy novel, also known by its short name Tanmoshi, which began on the Kakoyomu platform in October 2019. Kadokawa began publishing the title through its MF Bunko J imprint with illustrations by Umibouzu in November that year. The sixth volume shipped on November 25 last year, with the seventh volume scheduled to be released on August 25.

Mugiko began drawing a manga adaptation in Monthly Comic Alive magazine last May. The fourth volume shipped on December 23.

Poni began serializing a second manga adaptation, subtitled The Lost Memory, in Monthly Comic Alive magazine in January 2021. Media Factory published the third volume on April 21.

Yen Press licensed the light novel and manga in English and published the light novel's third volume on April 20, with the fourth volume shipping on September 20. The third manga volume will go on sale on October 18.

Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. placed fourth and eighth in the 2021 and 2022 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! rankings, respectively.

Synopsis
Kimihiko Kimizuka has found himself inadvertently entangled in various crimes more times than he can remember, referring to himself as a magnet for trouble. One day, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, a group of unknown men kidnaps him, forcing him to board a flight—where he also encounters a hijacking. Amid the resulting chaos, however, Kimizuka meets a stunning silver-haired beauty, going by the codename Siesta, who then saves the day.

Claiming to be a legendary detective, Siesta enlists Kimizuka to be her sidekick. Though Kimizuka refuses at first, with Siesta's insistence, he eventually joins her—marking the start of a grand adventure spanning the entire world, preventing multiple threats that could spell doom for humanity along the way.

Unfortunately, after three years of their unpredictable yet enjoyable time together, Siesta abruptly passes away. Distraught, Kimizuka tries to leave all memories of her behind, but as he begins to meet more people, it seems that Siesta's influence will never truly die. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Ah......was not expecting to ever get more of this.

Hope it isn't like S1 that peaked in the first half of episode 1 and was all downhill from there.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

It was pretty boring, but as far as I can tell, the original is quite popular in Japan.

Another day, another complaint from Western fans that the Japanese care about the Japanese audience first.

It's light novel had a good sale boost in Japan apparently.

Time to get Hashimoto to animate one good sequence in ep 1 once again.


Yeah kinda confused about why people always say "why this anime get a sequel instead of other anime." well you have given the reason.

Anyway i kinda waiting for this one, just don't cut out a lot of scene from LN, character design already great, just take the time so you don't have to outsource it to small studio with 80% of it made by them. That's what i was hoping for

I had expectations for this anime and it wasnt that really good. I probably will pass the anime only if its like the oppisote of what s1 is like

Who knows, is it worth watching or better read the source instead? I like detective and mystery genres, so it sounds interesting for me.

I haven't watched the first season and also don't read the light novel and manga.

After seing the usual ignorant top reviews with low scores on season 1, I knew people would be malding under this announcement, lol.
Like, if you don't like it, nobody told you to watch its second season lol.

Also why bring up Re Zero, it will literally get a S3 eventually, if not next year, in two years. They definitely will not let that one die. This isn't the right topic for that either way

I like how every complaint about "why didn't X get a sequel instead" lists an equally woeful show. It puts a nice bow on this whole ordeal.

Still, I'd say waste of effort, but the studio are hardly any good elsewhere so maybe letting them play with this is for the greater good.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

This is an excuse, because the concept of "quality" anime is quite subjective and often depends on tastes or even mentality.

The anime's SS1 is really bad and sketchy, I don't think it will have SS2. I hope the producer will be more prepared to develop the anime.

Reading the original LN made for an interesting story with good twists and a hopeful but tearful ending - how an anime studio interpretation does justice or injustice to it is up-to them. The plot was good enough for someone like A1 to have taken it on, sadly that’s not the case. After the LN I will try reading the manga.

TRUE.

Hopefully with S2 whoever is in charge actually wants to deliver a better adaptation?
I have yet to see the anime, but from what I read, I put my hopes on the LN first whenever I get to this series.
