Hell’s Paradise Season 2 Teaser
Here’s what director Kaori Makita, who helmed the first season, had to say, as translated by Crunchyroll News:
Thank you to those who watched the first season of Hell’s Paradise and waiting for the second season!
I am happy to be able to work on the story of Gabimaru and his friends again. In the first season, each of the characters survived while facing troubles. How will we depict the changes in their hearts this time? How should we depict that scene in the original manga? I am back the days to think about Gabimaru and his friends every day.
The second season of Hell’s Paradise is being produced in a very good atmosphere with a lot of staff members who are full of love for the series. We hope you are looking forward to it.
There’s also a new survival RPG in the works called Hell’s Paradise Battle, due out in 2025.
Kaori Makita (Twittering Birds Never Fly – The Clouds Gather) also directed the first season, with Kazuaki Kaneda (The God of High School) on series composition, Akitsugu Hisaki on character designs and Yoshiaki Dewa on music for MAPPA.
Crunchyroll streamed the series as it airs, describing it like so:
Hell’s Paradise Plot
The Edo period is nearing its end. Gabimaru, a shinobi formerly known as the strongest in Iwagakure who is now a death row convict, is told that he will be acquitted and set free if he can bring back the Elixir of Life from an island that is rumored to be the Buddhist pure land Sukhavati. In hopes of reuniting with his beloved wife, Gabimaru heads to the island along with the executioner Yamada Asaemon Sagiri. Upon arriving there, they encounter other death row convicts in search of the Elixir of Life… as well as a host of unknown creatures, eerie manmade statues, and the hermits who rule the island. Can Gabimaru find the Elixir of Life on this mysterious island and make it back home alive?
