Kodansha and Felix Film announced that season 2 of the MF Ghost anime will air in 2024. The official sequel to Initial D will deliver more overtaking moments with Eurobeat songs playing in the background.
The upcoming season will highlight the feature race in Ashinoko GT—the second out of five rounds in the MFG Great Championship. The series’ author Shuichi Shigeno uses real roads around Japan’s Lake Ashi as the basis for the course.
The teaser trailer for the anime’s season 2 is available to watch on the official MF Ghost YouTube channel. It shows the red Toyota GT86—which the title’s protagonist Kanata Katagiri uses—traversing through the track during rain.
Shuichi Shigeno, who previously made Initial D, has been actively publishing new MF Ghost manga chapters in Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine since September 2017. The first season of MF Ghost anime ran for twelve episodes from October 2023 to December 2023, and it covered the first round in Odawara Pikes Peak. In a similar fashion to the Initial D series, the show features Italian Eurobeat songs during the key race segments.
The anime also aired in the West with multiple language subtitles on the same day as Japan via Crunchyroll. English-dubbed versions appear on the platform two weeks after the original Japanese episodes came out. As the Japanese twelfth episode aired on December 17, 2023, English dubs for the eleventh and twelfth episodes will be available in the following two weeks.
Season 2 of the MF Ghost anime will appear worldwide in 2024.
