'Hoozuki no Reitetsu' Season 2 Anime Spoilers: Latest Episode Debuts Two New Characters; What Comes Next for Hozuki and Shiro?
Hozuki's coolheaded approach to both life and work continues on the second season of the Japanese supernatural-comedy anime series, "Hoozuki no Reitetsu (Hozuki's Coolheadedness)."
The previous episode showcased two new glimpses into the life of the demon ogre Hozuki and his interactions with the people in the afterlife. The first one brought Hozuki on a visit to the fourth court of the deceased where the Scales of Karma are kept and managed by King Gokan. Here, he met the king's chief of staff, who has always been very dutiful and caring that her kindness has made the prisoners want to call her mom.
This first half of the episode also served as the debut for not only the chief of staff, whose name is Shikimi, but also for the Egyptian god, Anubis. Shikimi's voice was provided by Chika Sakamoto, whose most recent works include doing the voices for Agumon in "Digimon Adventure tri." and "Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters," and Stelly from the popular shounen anime series, "One Piece."
