Asami Seto returning as Azest is great casting continuity because she brings real emotional range to her characters, and keeping her in the role for Season 2 preserves the chemistry Season 1 built. The rolling character trailer format is also a smart pre-premiere strategy since spotlighting party members one at a time keeps the marketing cycle steady while reintroducing viewers to key faces before October. Arvo Animation returning to handle Season 2 keeps the visual identity intact too because consistency behind the scenes means the magical action and character animation should maintain the established look from the first season. And the web novel and manwha source material continues to be a strong foundation because having the original web novel from 2016 and the manwha from 2018 means Season 2 has plenty of well-developed material to draw from.

This October, Desir and his party return to fight again in Season 2 of A Returner's Magic Should Be Special. A series of character trailers reintroduces the anime adaptation's key players, and today it's time for Azest Kingscrown to shine. The new character trailer features Asami Seto as Azest.
