Getting a sequel arc right away is great news—announcing continuation alongside episode 24 means minimal wait between story arcs. The supernatural action has been solid so far; the series' blend of cursed blood powers and battles has delivered consistently. Nikko Kegon Falls sounds like an epic setting—using Japan's famous waterfalls as the backdrop for supernatural conflicts should create spectacular visuals. Continuation announcements show confidence in the series—Studio Hibari and the production committee clearly believe in TOUGEN ANKI's potential.

Coinciding with the publication of episode 24 of the series, the TV anime based on the supernatural manga series TOUGEN ANKI announced today that the series will continue with the production of a sequel based on the "Nikko Kegon Falls Arc" of the manga.

A trailer and teaser art for the newly announced arc were also published. The release date for the sequel arc has not yet been revealed at the time of this reporting.
