Series continuing April anime premieres on October 18

Aniplex began airing the first TV spot for the latter half of the Mushishi: The Next Chapter TV anime on Thursday.

The second half of the anime will premiere on October 18 at 12:30 a.m. JST.

Mushishi: The Next Chapter (Mushishi: Zoku-Shō) reunites most of the staff from the first season, led by director and series script supervisor Hiroshi Nagahama. Cast members Yuto Nakano and Mika Doi are also reprising their roles as Ginko and the narrating voice.

Aniplex USA describes the story:

They existed long before anyone can remember. They are simple and strange in nature, not resembling any other plant or animal in this world. In ancient times, people revered these bizarre creatures and called them “Mushi.” People once again began to believe in the existence of these "Mushi" when they began affecting their lives in inexplicable ways. The one who connects the world of “Mushi” to the world of humans—they were called the "Mushi-shi." All life exists not to hinder others in this world. They are simply there to live as they were meant to.

The first half of the anime premiered in Japan on April 4. Crunchyroll and Daisuki streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
