Tegami Bachi Anime

Tegami Bachi 1st Season Visual

An anime adaption of the Tegami Bachi manga series was announced in the June 2009 issue of the Jump SQ magazine, and was set to be green-lit for October 2009.[1] This first season of the anime series is directed by Akira Iwanaga, and began airing in Japan on the TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi and other affiliated television networks around Japan on October 3, 2009. The first season finished broadcasting on March 27, 2010.

A second season of the anime, called Tegami Bachi: Reverse was announced in the Puff magazine in Japan during an interview with the artist.[2] This season of the anime retained its previous voice cast, and is also directed by Akira Iwanaga. The second season of the anime premiered on October 2, 2010, and finished airing on March 26, 2011, leaving many questions unanswered.[3]

The author of Tegami Bachi, Hiroyuki Asada, has expressed approval for a third season, which is yet to be announced. This may prove difficult, as the second season had to create filler due to it being ahead of the slowly-written manga, in turn creating several anime-manga inconsistencies which may hinder the production of a third season.
