Season 2 Picks Up Where the Story Left Off
Season 2 will begin at what the team calls the First Floor Interlude. This picks up directly after the Sixth Floor arc from Season 1, according to Noisy Pixel. The goal is to push the story toward its climax.
The same animation team from Studio Trigger is returning. The full voice cast is also expected to come back. Screen Rant confirmed the season will adapt the latter half of Kui's manga, completing the full story arc.
