Just a couple months after an interview revealing a possibility of a second season, a major announcement of the Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru anime will be made on June 12th, next Friday, on Niconico.

On June 12th at 9:00pm JST on Niconico, a live stream event will be held for the Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru, where it has been 6 months since the anime finished airing. The event itself is to present the 8th annual report of the Hero Club, where a very special announcement to fans will be made. The event will have the main cast of the anime in attendance, with:

Haruka Terui (Kobeni Yonomori in Mikakunin de Shinkoukei) the voice of Yuuna Yuuki

Yumi Uchiyama (Youko Inokuma from Kiniro Mosaic) who voices Fuu Inubouzaki

The report itself is from a series of radio shows hosted by the main three characters of the anime. Fans of the series are able to send in emails to the program with feedback and suggestions about the series, which are then collected in a report. The hosts includes:

In a previous interview, series director Seiji Kishi mentioned how support of the anime has been tremendous, with the sales and popularity of the series being surprisingly high – ranking 1st for the season, and that further support of the series can lead to the future development of the series. He mentions that there are currently plans for this, which also include pushing the story into new unexplored directions. This is also somewhat evident with the new bonus chapter, with fans earlier demanding a further conclusion to the series. Regardless, if there was more continued support of the series the second season of the anime will be made.
