Underrated Oblivion Battery by Jujutsu Kaisen Studio Receives Renewal for Second Season

Oblivion Battery Secures Renewal for Season 2

After a period of speculation, Oblivion Battery, the exciting new baseball anime that premiered this summer, has officially been confirmed for a second season.

A Growing Favorite

Since its initial debut in 2018, Oblivion Battery has steadily captured the hearts of both baseball enthusiasts and general audiences. Its increasing popularity culminated in the adaptation of its manga into a sports anime this year, produced by the esteemed MAPPA studio, renowned for hits like Jujutsu Kaisen.

Competitive Landscape

The first season comprised 12 episodes, garnering a modest reception amid fierce competition from major titles such as Demon Slayer Season 4 and My Hero Academia Season 7, which largely dominated viewers’ discussions. With the series wrapping up in July 2024, fans were left anxiously awaiting news about its future.

Confirmation of New Episodes

Fortunately, after a five-month wait, the announcement of Oblivion Battery Season 2 has arrived. Although specific details about the upcoming season remain scarce, the confirmation is certainly promising for eager fans.

Storyline Overview

Crafted by Eko Mikawa, the narrative centers on a close-knit group of five friends who unite through baseball to motivate one of their members—a former high school all-star—who struggles with amnesia. This refreshing take on the underdog theme introduces engaging slice-of-life elements reminiscent of classics like Haikyuu!!.

A Prime Time for Sports Anime

The timing for this renewal couldn’t be better. With Haikyuu!! nearing the conclusion of its saga with a final film and Blue Lock Season 2 gaining momentum in its popularity, Oblivion Battery joins a vibrant roster of sports anime poised to lead the Shonen genre into the next chapter as major titles like Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia reach their conclusions.
