Shojo anime fans rejoice as the "Snow White with the Red Hair" season two release date has finally been confirmed for Jan. 11. The release date has not been confirmed for streaming outside of Japan, but Funimation did confirm earlier this year that they will stream the second season on their website.
"Snow White with the Red Hair" season two will mark the return of director Masahiro Ando and lead voice actress Saori Hayami, who will once again voice the character of Shirayuki. In addition to playing Shirayuki, Hayami will also perform the opening theme song again. This time around, the song is entitled "Your Voice Will Become a Map."
Funimation streamed the first season of "Snow White with the Red Hair" outside of Japan, and has promised to also stream season two. For those who are not familiar with the original manga by Sorata Akiduki, Funimation describes the story of "Snow White with the Red Hair" as follows:
"In the kingdom of Tanbarun lives Shirayuki, an independent and strong-willed young woman. Her resourceful intelligence has led her become a skilled pharmacist, but her most defining trait is her shock of beautiful apple-red hair. Her dazzling mane gets her noticed by the prince of the kingdom, but instead of romancing her, he demands she be his concubine."
It goes on:
"Shirayuki refuses, chops off her lovely locks, and runs away to the neighboring kingdom of Clarines. There, she befriends a young man named Zen, who, SURPRISE, is also a prince, although with a much better temperament than the previous one. Watch as Shirayuki finds her place in the new kingdom, and in Zen's heart."
