A stage event at AnimeJapan 2016 has revealed that the previously announced continuation of the Arslan Senki (The Heroic Legend of Arslan) TV anime will air in July 2016. The new series will be titled Arslan Senki: Fuujin Ranbu and air on Sundays at 5:00 p.m. on the MBS and TBS networks.

The anime adapts the semi-historical manga drawn by Hiromu Arakawa, which is based on the light novels by Yoshiki Tanaka. Singer Eir Aoi will perform the opening theme song of the new series, while musical group Kalafina will perform the ending theme song.

Cool I've missed Arslan. I wonder if it's going to be 25 episodes again?

I hope it's better than the first season, which was quite a mess thanks to that Rajendra arc. It does have potential.

Also, typo in the OP:

First season ended up being kinda eh. I guess I don't mind giving it another shot though, as long as we don't get something as pointless as the Rajendra arc again.

Yeah Eir Aoi!
I'm quite like the first season, I'm heard that the second season will be more brutal and we'll see badass Arslan (I hope so)

This is airing in the same time slot as Nanatsu no Taizai: Seisen no Shirushi, which begins in August, so it will likely only be four or five episodes.

What? TV anime can have only 5 or 6 episodes? I thought the minimum was 10.

Yes this is going to be awesome and I would like to bet that it will still be 25 episodes but it'll change time slots perhaps.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Makes sense, half a cour is probably enough to get some sort of conclusion. These type of stories are hard to end anyway and with the novels still on-going even more so, so it'll likely just end the main conflict from the first season and be that.

Well that nanatsu thing is only going to be 4 episodes long so perhaps it'll just mean we get a 21 or 22 episode show instead this time.

Well that would be just stupid. How can a second season be only 4-5 episodes?

Hopefully Arslan actually does something himself in this season lol. And I also hope that whatever this season covers is not just a pointless arc like the Shindra one.

I haven't read them but you can tell by how the series was structured that is was 4. The original OVA covered 6 so I'm going to wait until the current series surpasses it before I get stuck into the older show.

I hope its two-cour...I want to see Arslan being coronated! What's the point of adapting a second season if it's only four episodes? From what I can tell there can only be four episodes before Nanatsu no Taizai mini series airs for four episodes. This is so weird...

I'm so pissed. Seriously, if you're going to announce a second season a year in advanced, maybe you shouldn't make it five episodes? I don't know. I'm pissed at Nanatsu no Taizai spin-off and everything. Why couldn't they air this in Fall and make it two-cour or at least one complete cour. I suppose with half a cour they could finish another book but I have the feeling this is going to end up with the same ending that Arslan Senki S1 had. Its going to be an open ending, with Arslan leading his army to confront Hermes
I think. And if you're going to make it open again, you might as well adapt it all the way.

It's gonna end where the OVA did, I bet. And I wanted to see more adapted. Though I understand because the manga is still new and they want to adapt it from the manga. Perhaps after this season they'll adapt another arc or two.

I should make clear that at no point was this series announced as a second season. The original announcement makes no use of the term 2期 or anything similar, and we made a point to avoid using such a term in our original reporting. The Japanese are very particular about word choice, and what they have used here remains accurate.

Shorter runtime should result in higher average quality. Show was wonky at times.

Main problem wih the series was how one note all of the characters are. We'll see.

Apparently, mori (fansubber) said that the "日5" is just the 5pm timeslot on TBS and has nothing to do with the number of episodes.
