A second season for Hanyou no Yashahime: Sengoku Otogizoushi (Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon) was announced following the airing of its 24th and final episode on Saturday, subtitled Ni no Shou (The Second Act). The official website also revealed a teaser visual (pictured).

Synopsis
Half-demon twins Towa and Setsuna were always together, living happily in Feudal Japan. But their joyous days come to an end when a forest fire separates them and Towa is thrown through a portal to modern-day Japan. There, she is found by Souta Higurashi, who raises her as his daughter after Towa finds herself unable to return to her time.

Ten years later, 14-year-old Towa is a relatively well-adjusted student, despite the fact that she often gets into fights. However, unexpected trouble arrives on her doorstep in the form of three visitors from Feudal Japan; Moroha, a bounty hunter; Setsuna, a demon slayer and Towa's long-lost twin sister; and Mistress Three-Eyes, a demon seeking a mystical object. Working together, the girls defeat their foe, but in the process, Towa discovers to her horror that Setsuna has no memory of her at all. Hanyou no Yashahime: Sengoku Otogizoushi follows the three girls as they endeavor to remedy Setsuna's memory loss, as well as discover the truth about their linked destinies.

Hanyou no Yashahime serves as an anime sequel to Rumiko Takahashi's InuYasha franchise, which began airing in Fall 2020. VIZ Media licensed the anime in North and Latin American territories and streamed it on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu with subtitles. Funimation subsequently began streaming an English dub in November last year.

Teruo Satou (InuYasha (TV) episode director) helmed the anime at Sunrise, and Katsuyuki Sumisawa (InuYasha: Kanketsu-hen) handled the series composition. Yoshihito Hishinuma (Tales of the Abyss) designed the characters, with original creator Rumiko Takahashi credited for the main character designs.

Weekly Shounen Sunday serialized the original InuYasha manga from 1996 to 2008. Sunrise produced a 167-episode anime series that aired from Fall 2000–2004, followed by a 26-episode sequel in Fall 2009. The manga also inspired four anime films between 2000 and 2004.

we don't have official demographic data yet, so i personally can't said for sure (like if the fans mostly older age average, we can say it has big nostalgia follower and so on). but maintaining TV ratings show the one who watch it STICK with it, even attract more viewer after natural hype died down (which critical for viewership).

I read somewhere that Rumiko supposedly expected this show to be aimed at young girls, but it was mostly popular with the original fandom and anime olds in general, but I don't know why it was taken.

well, if more information given, we can said something for sure. but we don't have, and i don't like to assume, so..

a failed sequel didn't gain viewership more than One Piece. again, it's not a push. the japanese market simply demand it.

It's a failed sequel quality wise, I agree with you on its popularity

again, industry doesn't care about your subjective opinion. your judgement on failure doesn't mean anything.

bro, this series is one of most successful sequel in history. it's in the top 4 most watched animated series in japan. it has more viewership than motherfucking OP. it's not push, the market demand just that high. this is anything but boruto 2.0.

i am not even watching series yet (as i prever to wait series to ended first before watching), but your statement just out of touch.

Was it that popular? I still want to watch it in the near future, but for various reasons I had vibes that it is basically just shoujo-ish shonen with female leads.

i also planned to watch it in the future. but as far as i see in japan social media, the reception is quite good. not to mention it's maintain very high TV ratings. not fall down. if people dislike it, the rating would fall down quickly, but in fact it was stable and even rising in later episode. it is THAT popular.

I was referring to the statement above saying YashaHime is a Boruto 2.0
Dunno why you denied it because that's exactly what it is, a failed sequel that drags on and on

I think you misunderstood the comparison Kuma did

a failed sequel didn't gain viewership more than One Piece. again, it's not a push. the japanese market simply demand it.

It's a failed sequel quality wise, I agree with you on its popularity

i am not talking about your subjective opinion about it being good or not, just market demand and success. this series japan reception are good, so it got sequel. as simple as that. industry didn't care about no one like us. they care about stuff that actually bring profit. and it is a fact that it was one of most successful sequel in recent history. it's not a push if the market actually demand it.

You're just talking about popularity here, not the anime's quality especially since you haven't even watched it

It's not as bad as Boruto but it's not that good either, and it can't even compare to Inuyasha

A popular anime in Japan isn't necessarily good, I mean just take a look at Sword Art Online

Good and bad are relative.

Everyone have different taste.

As I though, just one season is really not enough.

I NEED MORE YASHAHIME.

It's enjoyable so I'll still watch it although not that enthusiastic.
