Season 2 of Snow White with the Red Hair, also known as Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, is now available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu. The series continues the story of Shirayuki, a unique herbalist with striking red hair, and Prince Zen Wistalia of the northern mountainous kingdom of Clarines.
Produced by the acclaimed Studio Bones, known for its work on series like My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, this season picks up after Shirayuki and Zen have confirmed their feelings for one another. The 12-episode run follows Shirayuki as she resumes her duties as an apprentice court herbalist, while Zen continues his princely responsibilities. Their relatively peaceful lives are soon disrupted by an invitation from Raji Shenazard, the prince of Tanbarun, requiring Shirayuki to travel to his kingdom.
The anime adaptation of Sorata Akizuki's manga holds a 7.97 rating on MyAnimeList, based on over 215,000 user reviews. The series is celebrated for its vibrant animation, compelling character development, and gentle romantic progression, set against a backdrop of political intrigue and Shirayuki's dedication to her craft.
This second season delves deeper into the dynamics between Shirayuki, Zen, and the royal families of neighboring nations, exploring themes of diplomacy, personal growth, and the challenges of maintaining relationships amidst courtly duties. The addition of the English dub alongside subtitles on both platforms makes the complete 24-episode story, encompassing both seasons, readily accessible for binge-watching.
