The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 aired 6 episodes in January 2023. The Misfit of Demon King Academy sequel, thereafter went on a sudden hiatus following a lot of production delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The official Twitter account of the anime, in a recent announcement, confirmed that Season 2 of the anime would be restarted from Episode 1. This announcement had various mixed reactions from the fans. Let’s take a glance at the chances of Season 2 of The Misfit of Demon King Academy anime being better than Season 1.
The Misfit of Demon King Academy Anime Season 1: what was it about
The first season of The Misfit of Demon King Academy is based on Shuuichi Shigeno’s original light novel series. It follows the story of Anos Voldigoad, a formidable demon king who, after being resurrected in a new realm, enrolls in a school for demon lords.
Despite being one of the world’s strongest beings, Anos struggles to fit in with his students and establish himself as a legitimate demon king. The first season follows Anos as he navigates the demon world’s politics and power conflicts. He simultaneously attempts to find the truth about his prior existence and the odd circumstances surrounding his reincarnation.
The first season of The Misfit of Demon King Academy had immaculate animations and interesting tropes which had the viewers sitting on the edge of their seats. The anime thus managed to get through to a large audience. Being one of the best-produced anime shows of 2020, it had a grasp on the audience who were looking out for the second season.

The anticipation for the sequel’s return has undoubtedly revived hope in fans. They must, however, wait at least a month to pick up where the previous episode left off.
It is unknown whether Studio Silver Link would redo the first six episodes of the series, as fans have expressed no worry about the light novel’s poor adaptation thus far. Only a few fans seemed enthusiastic about the repeat. The remainder, on the other hand, expressed discontent as they would have to restart the series from the very beginning.
Can the Misfit of Demon King Academy sequel be better than its first Season?
The Misfit of Demon King Academy II with its 6 episodes so far has been quite admirable. It captivated audiences with a strong first season and returned for a second season with even more reasons to stay on Anos’ good side.
But the second season complicates matters a bit as it dropped the show midway and failed to take off. The light novel fans also showed their discontent, as they felt that the adaptation failed to do justice to the novel. Overall, the series has returned after a lengthy hiatus. It will be repeating Anos’ mission to defend Dilhade from a new foe. Fans who have finished the first six episodes of season 2 will be able to watch episode seven in August 2023.
As the whole of Misfit of Demon King Academy sequel is being reworked, it can be expected that it will surely be better than the previously released 6 episodes and even Season 1 in terms of tropes and animation. The anime was supposed to start airing on July 8, but there have been more delays with its release as of yet.
Conclusion
With the rebroadcasting of the anime in July, viewers will be able to see the continuation of the plot and the continuing development of their favorite characters. The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 promises to bring more dramatic combat, startling plot twists, and emotional moments that will have viewers on the edge of their seats, as seen by the first six episodes aired earlier this year. If you haven’t seen the series yet, the timing couldn’t be better.
