About Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2
A Great Supernatural Anime
Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is set at Kamome Academy, a prestigious school harbouring the “Seven Wonders”, seven supernatural phenomena that have become famous across the school. Through a series of unfortunate events, Yashiro Nene finds herself being forced to work alongside one such “Wonder”, an entity known as “Hanako-kun”, which is said to dwell in a cursed stall in the girls’ bathroom, together uncovering various aspects of the supernatural underbelly of Kamome Academy.
The first season of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun aired for 12 episodes in January 2020, and it was a solid start to the anime adaptation of the series, boasting incredible visuals, an intriguing supernatural story that can also get a lot darker than the art style and atmosphere will have one believe at first.
It was announced in December 2022 that the Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun anime would be “restarting”. This restart project began with the anime adaptation of the series’ spin-off, After School Hanako-kun, which aired between October and December 2023, followed by a four-episode sequel in October 2024. The next phase in the “restart” was the second season of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, which ended this past Sunday.
The first season was directed by Masaomi Andō at studio Lerche, who was then replaced by season 1, episode 10 episode director Yōhei Fukui in the second season. Fukui was joined by other season 1 staff members, including scriptwriter Yasuhiro Nakanishi and character designer Mayuka Itō.
Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
