The first season of the anime "Restaurant to Another World" was broadcast in 2017, and although it was popular, sales were sluggish, and people were whispering that "the production of the second season of the anime will be difficult." In the midst of all this, the second season of the anime was decided, which even fans call "unexpected." However, when you look at the details of the decision to decide on the second season of the anime, there are changes in the character design and animation production company... So, this time, we will introduce the author and the animation production company.
When you think of "another world," of course...
I think most people already know just by looking at the title, but when you think of "another world," you think of the familiar novel submission site "Let's Become a Novelist." Restaurant to Another World is also a genre that was born from Let's Become a Novelist, known as the "Narou" genre. The original author is Junpei Inuzuka, and although only "Restaurant to Another World" has been published so far, four other novels have been posted in addition to this one. The frequency of updates has become irregular due to the anime adaptation of "Restaurant to Another World," but if you're interested, please search for the author's name "Junpei Inuzuka" on Let's Become a Novelist.
Two types of manga have appeared
In addition to the anime adaptation, "Restaurant to Another World" has also been adapted into a comic book, but there are two types of manga, and they are not particularly spinoffs. The first manga version was serialized in Young Gangan. The publisher is Square Enix, and it was serialized from 2016 to 2019. A total of four volumes of the comics have been published. Then, in April 2021, it began serialization in Monthly Shonen Ace. The publisher is KADOKAWA. The content of both is almost the same as the anime, but the drawings are different, and characters who appeared from around the middle of the anime suddenly appear, giving it a slightly different atmosphere from the anime.
The animation production company has changed
The animation production company for "Restaurant to Another World" changed between the first and second seasons of the anime. The animation production for the first season was handled by "SILVER LINK." Other anime they have produced include the Non Non Biyori series, No-Rin, and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. Most recently, the company also produced the animation for My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!. The production company in charge of animation for the eagerly anticipated second season will be OLM. OLM is known for the Pokemon series, Inazuma Eleven, and Yo-kai Watch. There are more and more anime aimed at children, and they have been involved in many robot-related works such as Zoids Wild ZERO and Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion.
Character design has also changed since the first season
The character designs for the first season of the anime were handled by Takao Sano and Keiichi Sano. Among other works, Takao Sano was in charge of character design for "The Honor Student at Magic High School," and Keiichi Sano was in charge of character design for "Strike the Blood." In addition, both of them were involved in the work as animation directors for "A Certain Magical Index II." From the second season onwards, Yasukazu Tojibayashi was in charge of character design. He has been in charge of drawing and key animation for many of the anime produced by OLM since long ago, including character design for the "Tamagotchi! Series".
Director and series composition remain unchanged
The production company and character design have changed, but Masato Jimbo will continue to be the core director and series composition. For those who enjoyed the atmosphere and flow of the first season, I think you can enjoy the second season with peace of mind.
Summary of the creator and production company of the "Isekai Shokudou" anime
So far, we have introduced the creator and production company of "Isekai Shokudou". What did you think? Although there are some elements that have been changed, such as the character design, and the director and composition remain the same, as a fan, I am both excited and anxious to see how it will change in the second season (lol). I will look forward to it, including that.
