Sk8 the Infinity season 2: Release window, cast, plot, and more

Despite Sk8 the Infinity season 2 being confirmed, there’s still no word either from Hiroko Utsumi or Studio Bones about its release date, which fans have been waiting impatiently for. Among the long list of anime sequels that have yet to make their return with the beloved characters, continuing a story that is far from its conclusion, Sk8 the Infinity season 2 also left fans hanging in the balance.

The popularity of Sk8 the Infinity season 1 is such that it received two manga adaptations where one sticks to the original storyline of the anime, and the other is more of a comedy spin-off. Although the sequel to season 1 has yet to announce the release date, fans can anticipate it to arrive in 2024.

Sk8 the Infinity plot summary

Sk8 the Infinity kicked off as an original anime series by Studio Bones and Hiroki Utsumi that is pretty much inspired by the real world’s skateboarding culture. Here’s how Aniplex describes the plot:

"Reki, a high school sophomore and skater, is addicted to "S," a highly secret and dangerous downhill skateboarding race that takes place in an abandoned mine. The skaters are especially wild about the "beefs," or heated battles that erupt in the races."

It continues:

"Reki takes Langa, a transfer student returning to Japan after studying abroad, to the mine where the races are held. Langa, who has no skateboarding experience, finds himself pulled into the world of "S"."

More about the anime will be announced soon, starting with the exact release date, additional cast, and theme songs. Fans can watch all twelve episodes of Sk8 the Infinity season 1 on Crunchyroll in both English subbed and dubbed formats.
