Hotel Inhumans Anime Confirms Second Season

Hotel Inhumans wrapped up its first season on a high note, closing out with the announcement that a second season is coming. Manga creator Ao Tajima marked the occasion by sharing a special celebratory illustration.

The anime premiered on TV Tokyo and its affiliated stations on July 6 and was available to stream internationally as each episode aired. The show follows two concierges at a very unusual establishment: Sara Haizaki, voiced by Hinano Shirahama, and Ikurō Hoshi, voiced by Yūsuke Kobayashi. Their guests are exclusively professional assassins, and the hotel caters to their every need, offering not just fine dining and relaxation but also weapons, false identity services, and a thorough cleaning crew.

Director Tetsuro Amino, known for Macross 7, Shiki, and Iwa-Kakeru! Sport Climbing Girls, oversaw the production at studio Bridge. Shoji Yonemura, whose credits include Parasyte the maxim, Wave Listen to Me!, and Shaman King 2021, handled the series scripts. Character designs came from Shingo Fujisaki, who previously worked on Let This Grieving Soul Retire!. Haru Yamada served as sound director, and Koharu of Charan-Po-Rantan composed the music.

imase performed the opening theme “Mister Moonlight” and NOA sang the ending theme “Merry Go Round.”

The anime is based on Ao Tajima’s manga, which launched on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry website in June 2021. The series concluded with its twelfth compiled volume, which shipped on September 19. The eleventh volume had come out on June 30.

My take: A second season announcement landing right at the end of a finale is one of the nicest things a show can offer its audience, and Hotel Inhumans seems to have earned it. The assassin hotel premise is a lot of fun and I am glad there is more on the way.
