Light novels continue to be fertile ground for new anime adaptations and the Spy Classroom work from Takemachi is on track. Announced during a Fantasia Bunko live stream back in March 2022, the series saw a January 5th, 2023, premiere date, with HIDIVE handing streaming for it.
The second season of the show saw a July 13th, 2023, premiere date, and while it has expired on HIDIVE, it’s getting some new home video release distribution. MVM Entertainment has announced the UK pickup of the show with plans for an early 2026 Blu-ray release with details to come.
The series has Keiichiro Kawaguchi on board to direct based on the scripts supervised by Shinichi Inotsume. Sumi Kinoshita is on board for the character designs with studio feel handling the production. The main cast is reprising their roles from the voice drama work that was done previously.
The Japanese cast includes:
* Sora Amamiya as Lily
* Yuichiro Umehara as Klaus
* Miku Ito as Grete
* Nao Toyama as Sibylla
* Aoi Yuki as Monika
* Sumire Uesaka as Thea
* Ayane Sakura as Sara
* Tomori Kusunoki as Annett
* Inori Minase as Erna
The opening theme song is “Rakuen” with nonoc returning for that while the ending theme song is “Nuisance” from sajou no hana. They’re both getting an August 2nd, 2023 release as singles.
The light novels from Takemachi began in 2020 with six volumes out alongside two short story pieces. A manga adaptation is ongoing as well. Yen Press releases the light novels and manga in English.

Plot Concept: Following a devastating military conflict, countries fight their wars in the shadows. One unusual spy, Klaus, has never failed on the job despite his quirks, and he is building a team to take on an Impossible Mission — one with over a 90 percent chance of failure. However, his chosen members are all washouts with no practical experience. They’ll have to use every trick in the book (and some that aren’t) to prove they’re up to the task!
