2021’s SK8 the Infinity is getting followed up by an OVA and a second season, the anime’s Twitter account has revealed. An announcement video was released.
The returning staff for the Bones-produced skating anime includes Hiroko Utsumi as director, Ichirou Ookouchi as series composer, and Michinori Chiba as character designer.
It was announced back in July 2021 that SK8 the Infinity was getting a new anime project. The first season, which aired during the Winter 2021 season, had 12 episodes and starred Tasuku Hatanaka and Chiaki Kobayashi as lead characters Reki and Langa respectively.
Aniplex of America describes SK8 the Infinity as:
Reki, a high school sophomore and skater, is addicted to “S,” a highly secret and dangerous downhill skateboarding race that takes place in an abandoned mine. The skaters are especially wild about the “beefs,” or heated battles that erupt in the races.
Reki takes Langa, a transfer student returning to Japan after studying abroad, to the mine where the races are held. Langa, who has no skateboarding experience, finds himself pulled into the world of “S”…
The anime previously inspired a chibi manga spin-off and a manga adaptation.
