‘Drifters’ is described as a Japanese anime that has based its roots in the fantasy genre. Kouta Hirano writes the manga, and the author himself does the illustrations. The manga began its serialization in a local magazine. An anime adaptation of the series under the same name aired between October 7, 2016, and December 23, 2016. The second season of ‘Drifters’ was announced back in 2016, but no other information about the show moving forward with the second season has been announced as of now. Hence, let’s have a look back at all the information we have on our hands.
Is ‘Drifters’ Renewed For A Second Season?
The first season of the anime aired back on October 7, 2016, and concluded on December 23, 2016. The renewal for the second season was announced after the conclusion of the first season. Even though more than eight years have passed since then, no development has happened. The announcement was made at the end of the season 1 finale that read, “To be continued Second Season. See you again. Tokyo 20XX. Sayonara.” Now, this could mean any year. Hence, even if the show has been renewed, fans might have to wait for a pretty long time to see their favorite masked vigilante back on screen.
When Is The Release Date Of Drifters Season 2?
No release date for the show is available as of now. Even though the show has been renewed for a second season in 2016, no development has happened that has taken the series forward. The main reason for the delay could be the lack of content. At the moment of this writing, there are only seven volumes. The first season covered four of those volumes, which leaves three more. This clearly isn’t enough for a whole new season. What makes matters even worse is the fact that the three OVA episodes have already covered almost half of Volume 5. Despite the show’s renewal, we may still need to wait for new volumes to be released before we can expect season 2 to begin production.
What Is The Plot Of Drifters?
The plot of the show follows the story of Shimazu Toyohisa, who is from the middle ages but is transported to a modern-day parallel world. When he wakes up, he finds himself in a corridor that consists of hundreds of doors on either side. Soon enough, he discovers that his new world is full of a lot of fantastic beasts and people. Along the way, Shimzau also finds a lot of warriors who join him. All these warriors together figure out that this modern-day world is full of tyrants and is determined to get rid of it and free the people.
Who All Are A Part Of The Main Cast?
Shimazu Toyohisa– Known as the main protagonist of the show, this character is based on the real-life character of the same name, who was a famed Samurai fighter. In the story, Shimazu gets transported into a fantasy world, where he becomes part of the Drifters and is determined to save people from the mindless tyranny that prevails there.
Nobunaga Oda– Known to be a powerful Japanese warlord, Nobunaga is also Shimazu’s one of the first allies in the fantasy world. Other than that, he is also one of the most important characters in the show.
Yoichi Suketaka Nasu– Known as a historical Samurai figure, Yochi, in the show, is portrayed as an effeminate 19-year-old man who became a part of the Drifters. He is an extremely skilled archer, a talent that often comes in handy during the entirety of the series as he takes out a whole lot of enemies at large.
