The inaugural issue of NewType spinoff publication NyanType will confirm on Thursday that Gonzo will produce the second season of Strike Witches.
The status of the second season had been placed in doubt due to the financial difficulties of the larger GDH conglomerate, to the point that Gonzo Digimation reduced staff from 130 to 30 employees last February in order to remain solvent as well as reducing output from 8 shows to 4 and ultimately absorbing the former conglomerate.
As a result of the addition of the Strike Witches second season, Gonzo has dropped the co-production arrangement made with AIC for the forthcoming Alive – Saishu- Shinka teki Sho-nen series, while keeping plans for The Tower of DRUAGA -the Sword of URUK-, Slap Up Party -Arad Senki-, Shangri-La, and Saki, suggesting that Gonzo has shored up enough funding for the aforementioned productions.
Funimation has also entered into an exclusive distribution arrangement with Gonzo, which has led to the licensing and availability of the first Strike Witches season among other recent Gonzo properties.
