TV anime "Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo R (Returns)" to start its second season in October!　The puppet master of hell, Harukazu Takato, makes an appearance!

It was announced that the second season of the TV anime "Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo R (Returns)" will start in October.

This work was broadcast in 2014 as a remake of the classic anime "Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo" which was popular for 3.5 years from April 1997 to September 2000, with 148 episodes aired over a period of 3.5 years and a maximum rating of 19.0% and an average rating of 14.8% (Kanto area). While the voice actors remained the same as in the previous series, the change from celluloid to digital, from a horrifying atmosphere to a lighter one, and the addition of a thicker drama were well-received by old and new fans, and the series achieved favorable viewer ratings.

For the second season announced this time, the cast and staff who know the appeal of the work well will reunite. The first season ran from April to September, during the spring and summer seasons, but this time, as it is the fall and winter season, incidents set in fall and winter will also be featured. Episodes will consist of a minimum of one and a maximum of five episodes. Longer episodes are a characteristic of the "Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo" series, allowing viewers to enjoy the series as a full-fledged mystery story. This time, the episode in which Harukazu Takato, a puppet master of hell who manipulates the criminals, challenges his elaborate criminal tricks will be a major highlight of the series.

Broadcasting will begin on Saturdays at 5:30 p.m., starting October 3. Together with "Detective Conan," the Saturday evenings will be an hour-long mystery slot.
