“Dark Gathering” Season 2 Confirmed for 2027!

It has been confirmed that Season 2 of the TV anime “Dark Gathering,” based on the popular manga by Kenichi Kondo, will air in 2027.
The original work is an occult horror series currently serialized in Shueisha’s “Jump SQ.” Season 1 garnered attention for its unique premise, in which characters “capture” spirits at haunted locations—such as dams and ruins—and turn them into combat assets.

The first horror visual has also been released. It depicts a spirit standing ominously in the dimly lit inspection tunnel of a dam, and is described as a visual that carries a spine-chilling coldness. Since this is designated as the first installment, it suggests that a second installment will also be released.

“Dark Gathering” Season 2 Moves the Setting to Kyoto

Season 2 will shift the setting to Kyoto and depict episodes starting from “#34: Jōraku” in Volume 9 of the original manga.
“Jōraku” is a term referring to a journey to Kyoto. The story will move on from the haunted locations in the Kanto region depicted in Season 1 to episodes set in the ancient capital. For readers who have been following the original manga since that episode, it will be interesting to see how far the adaptation will go.
The broadcast date is currently set for 2027, but the specific month, season, and network have not yet been announced.
