K: Return of Kings airing on Animax

MANILA, Philippines - Animé fans, look out! The animé series K will be back on the small screen this month with its second season K: Return of Kings, airing same day as Japan, first and exclusively on Animax.

Since its 2012 debut, the K series has seen more than 10 animé and light novel spin-offs including K: Missing Kings, which was made into a film of the same name in July 2014. Since the announcement of the new season in May this year, the series has made countless appearances on international animé news sites, but it was in these last three months that K really dominated the online buzz in the scene, thanks to a “100 days” promotional video and visual campaign by writer GoRa and Japanese animation studio GoHands.

Fans can expect to see even more action in K: Return of Kings, as modern-day kings armed with high-tech outfits and weapons continue to lead their color-represented clans through thrilling conflicts in the concrete “jungle” — Shizume City. And not only is original director Shingo Suzuki back on the team with a fresh storyline, he is also the man behind the new characters, like Green King Nagare Hisui.

Those who love anison can also look forward to the release of Asymmetry, the season’s opening theme composed by popular pop group angela.

The author of the series Tatsuki Miyazawa writes the ending theme Kai, which is performed by four-member group Customi-Z.

K: Return of Kings airs Saturday nights at 11 with an encore the next day at 8 p.m.

Animax is seen on SKYCable Channel 46, Cignal Digital TV Channel 34 and Dream Channel 7.
