Main Visual The site shared the following comments from the original Blue Orchestra manga author Makoto Akui, the anime's director Seiji Kishi ( Assassination Classroom , Angel Beats ), and series composition writer Yuko Kakihara ( Chihayafuru ). From Makoto Akui: Season 2 is finally starting with new characters and new sounds! I believe Aono and his friends' music is born from struggling through joy and pain. Let's have fun together! From Seiji Kishi: An orchestra playing in a TV anime – we've made such a foolhardy dream a reality! "Blue Orchestra" is a one-of-a-kind work that attempted expressions that no one had ever attempted, or been able to attempt. And Season 2 has evolved to be even more challenging and passionate. The power and emotion of the orchestra will resonate in your heart. Please enjoy this unprecedented experience! From Yuko Kakihara: Because it takes an extremely long time to depict performance scenes in animation and CG, I finished writing the script for Season 2 over a year ago. I plan to watch reruns of Season 1 to prepare myself again. I hope you will continue to support "Blue Orchestra."
