The latest
The Urusei Yatsura season 2 anime series is scheduled to premiere on Japanese broadcast television on Thursday, January 11, 2024. It is expected that HIDIVE will continue streaming the second season, as they did with the first. This expectation is reinforced by the fact that the series was not included in Crunchyroll’s Winter 2024 lineup and broadcast schedule. In addition, a year-end special program for the series will feature the voice actors for the main characters. These roles are played by Kamiya, Uesaka, and Nakano, who interestingly, other anime role sources only list Nakano as the upcoming Pool Yokai character.
The new cast member revealed for the series alongside the above news is Miyu Irino, who is set to play the role of Inaba in the second season. Irino’s extensive prior credits in the anime voice acting industry include roles as Haikyu!!’s Koshi Sugawara, Mob Psycho 100’s Ritsu Kageyama, and as Dr. Hedo from the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film.
The second season of Urusei Yatsura marks the conclusion of the new anime series, adapting stories from Rumiko Takahashi's original manga. The manga originally ran in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine from 1978 to 1987. Viz Media previously released parts of the series in English under different titles in the 1990s, but started publishing the manga in 2-in-1 omnibus editions with new translations under the original title in Spring 2019.

Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of Urusei Yatsura, I am thrilled to hear about the upcoming second season of the anime series, set to premiere in January 2024. The original series holds a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to see how the new season continues the story. The announcement of a year-end special program featuring the voice actors adds to the excitement, as it gives fans a chance to connect with the creators and learn more about the production.
The addition of new cast members, including Miyu Irino, who will play the role of Inaba, further enhances the anticipation for the second season. Irino's impressive voice acting credits in popular anime series such as Haikyu!!, Mob Psycho 100, and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero demonstrate his talent and versatility. I believe he will bring a unique charm to the character of Inaba and contribute to the overall quality of the series.
