Aniplus Asia to Air Simulcast of Restaurant to Another World Anime Season 2

Aniplus Asia announced on Monday that it will air a simulcast of the second television anime season of Junpei Inuzuka and Katsumi Enami's Restaurant to Another World (Isekai Shokudo) light novel series. The anime will premiere on the channel on October 2 at 1:38 a.m. GMT +8.

The series will premiere in Japan on the TV Tokyo channel on October 1 at 25:38 (effectively, October 2 at 1:38 a.m.) before moving to its regular timeslot of 25:23 (1:23 a.m.). It will also run on TV Osaka and AT-X.

The original story centers on a restaurant called "Yōshoku no Nekoya" (Western Cuisine Cat Restaurant), which is located on the first basement floor of a building at a corner of a shopping district near an office area. While it normally feeds salarymen, there is a secret in Nekoya. Every Saturday when the shop takes a day off, Nekoya is teeming full of "special customers." For the office workers, it is a familiar place with familiar dishes, but for these Saturday customers — "people from that world" — it is nothing but cuisine never seen or heard before.

Masato Jinbo returns as director and series script supervisor, but OLM replaces Silver Link as the animation studio. Yasukazu Shoji (Go-Go Tamagotchi!, Kami-sama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama) is the new character designer, replacing Keiichi Sano and Takao Sano.

The novels inspired the first television anime that premiered in July 2017. Aniplus Asia also aired a simulcast of the anime as it aired in Japan.
