The announcement was made at a special Sk8 the Infinity event in Okinawa this weekend. The cool teaser for the anime project was dropped during the event and it perfectly hypes up the show’s return. Check it out below.
The teaser confirms that most of the first season staff will be back for Season 2. This includes director Hiroko Utsumi, series script supervisor Ichiro Okouchi, and character designer Michinori Chiba. Sk8 the Infinity Season 2 will once again be produced by the animation studio BONES. For now, it has not yet been announced who will be joining the cast of the second season. However, fans are already looking forward to the return of Tasuku Hatanaka as Reki Kyan and Chiaki Kobayashi as Langa Hasegawa. Details for both Sk8 the Infinity Season 2 and the new OVA have not yet been shared. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
Sk8 the Infinity is an original anime that follows Reki, a second-year high school student who loves skateboarding, and gets caught up in “S,” an underground and dangerous skateboard race with no rules at an abandoned mine. When Reki meets Langa, a boy who has returned to Japan from Canada and has never skateboarded before, the new transfer student also gets wrapped up in S and they compete in a “youth skateboard race battle.” Since its release in 2021, the anime has spawned a manga spin-off titled Sk8 Chill Out! which was serialized on the Young Ace Up manga website and a manga adaptation was released as well. Sk8 the Infinity Season 2 and the OVA have not yet been given official release dates.
