The Ace of the Diamond Act II Season 2 anime is set to premiere in 2026. A teaser visual was released with the premiere window’s reveal. The anime was announced last May. The first Ace of the Diamond Act II aired from 2019 to 2020. That series was itself a follow-up to two previous anime, Ace of the Diamond and Ace of the Diamond -Second Season-. The anime are based on the Kodansha-published manga by Yuji Terajima (titled Daiya no Ace in Japanese) and its sequel Ace of the Diamond Act II.
The first two anime were Madhouse and Production IG co-productions, while Ace of the Diamond Act II was only produced by Madhouse. Mitsuyuki Masuhara directed all three with Kenji Konuta as series composer. Minoru Ueta has a character designer credit on all the seasons but shared the credit with Satoshi Tasaki, who was chief animation director for Ace of the Diamond and Ace of the Diamond -Second Season-, on the third.
