Oblivion Battery Season 2 Announced

A second season of the Oblivion Battery anime adaptation will be produced.

MAPPA will once again be the animation production studio, although the new season’s staff was not revealed.

Oblivion Battery is based on the high school baseball manga by Eko Mikawa, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ in 2018 and has 19 tankoubon volumes as of September 2024. Crunchyroll describes the first season, which premiered in April 2024, as:

Star pitcher Haruka Kiyomine and skilled catcher Kei Kaname were an unstoppable duo—until Kei was hit with a curveball: amnesia. Now they have a second chance to play at a no-name high school with a team of past rivals. Can they overcome Kei’s memory loss and rekindle their baseball dreams? With hilarious hijinks and fierce competition, get ready for a strikeout.
