The TV anime "Magilumiere Co. Ltd." (Japanese: "Kabushiki Gaisha Magilumiere") will receive its second season in July 2026. The producers have now released a first trailer, which not only shows new plot elements but also announces the casting of two important characters.
The role of the experienced magical girl Hitomi Koshigaya will be taken over by Mariko Higashiuchi from the second season onward. She thus succeeds Yumiri Hanamori, who voiced the character in the first season. Hanamori left the project in February 2026 at her own request and by mutual agreement. Higashiuchi expressed her admiration for the character in a statement: "I am filled with admiration. I want to convey all the charm that Hitomi Koshigaya possesses through my acting performance."
As another new character, Iroha Akasaka joins the ensemble. The deputy director of the Magical Technical Research Institute will be voiced by Sayumi Watabe. Watabe described the series as "a new concept – magical girl as a profession" and looks forward to bringing the intelligent and combative Iroha to life.
The ending theme for the second season has also been decided: VTuber Houshou Marine contributes the song "BooooM!!!". The track was written by q*Left and composed by Giga. An excerpt of the energetic song can already be heard in the current trailer. "I am truly happy to be able to sing the ending theme," commented Houshou Marine. "The song is just as captivating as the Magilumiere team itself."
The second season starts on July 4, 2026, on Japanese television (NTV, Saturdays at 24:55). The first season aired from October to December 2024 and has been rerun on TOKYO MX and BS Nittele since April 2026. Toshinori Fukushima is in charge of direction, with the script written by Michiko Yokote. The animation is once again by J.C.Staff.
The story follows the young Kana Sakuragi, who, after her studies, joins the company Magilumiere as a magical girl to fight against supernatural phenomena. In the second season, new challenges and enemies await the team.
