From the director of Kakegurui, we have yet another masterpiece, High Card. The anime was exhilarating and focused on secret agents with superpowers concentrating on the mission to find High Cards. Some fans have even compared this anime to Kingsman: The Secret Service film.
The anime was brilliant both in storyline and execution but did not gather much popularity. However, it was able to collect a loyal fan base. The anime’s second season has been announced, and fans are excited.
The staff for the poker-themed High Card anime revealed the second season’s first promotional video, cast, team, and January 2024 premiere. In addition, the High Card multimedia project is getting a stage play in January 2024.
The brief promotional video shows Finn looking super tense about the events. The footage seems intense and packed with drama and action. This video teases a lot of fun and adventure and excites fans.
The animation studio and the staff members working for the anime aren’t well known in the industry, but they still delivered an absolute banger of a first season. Almost all the staff members are returning for the second season, and here’s the list.
