There’s good news for fans of the anime Unnamed Memory — it’s receiving a second season! Unnamed Memory Season 2 is set to launch January 2025, and a short commercial has dropped for it.
The first season, which consisted of 12 episodes, concluded this week. It’s available to stream on Crunchyroll.
The Unnamed Memory anime is being made at ENGI, with Kazuya Miura of Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs helming the project as director. The person handling series scripts is Deko Akao, who is known for working on Komi Can’t Communicate and The Case Study of Vanitas. The music is composed by Akito Matsuda, whose credits include Sound! Euphonium and Liz and the Blue Bird.
The franchise started out as a light novel series by Kuji Furumiya and it also has a manga adaptation from Naoki Koshimizu. Yen Press publishes both versions in America and gave this description for the plot:
Witches—the centuries-old mages that command power immense enough to bring catastrophe. Oscar, the crown prince of the powerful kingdom of Farsas, was cursed as a young boy to never sire an heir. Hoping to break the magic, he seeks out Tinasha, the strongest witch on the continent. To meet her, he climbs her tower, as she is said to grant the wish of any who successfully do so. Yet, when he arrives at the top…he requests that Tinasha become his bride!
The light novels got their start in 2012, being published on the website “Shōsetsuka ni Narō.” Seven years later they got picked up by Kadokawa for print editions, and received artwork from chibi.
The guidebook Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (translated as This Light Novel Is Amazing!) from 2020 gave the light novels the honor of the number one spot.
