Active Raid Second

ACTIVE RAID Second is a mecha sci-fi TV anime produced by Production IMS, based on an original concept by Gotaro Taniguchi. Directed by Noriaki Akitaya with series composition by Toshihisa Arakawa, the second season reunites the elite Unit 8 crew—including Asami Kazari, Souichirou Sena, and Takeru Kuroki—as they don their powered suits to face escalating threats across a near-future cityscape. Delivering a compelling blend of high-octane action and intricate sci-fi world-building, this season pushes the stakes even higher for fans of intelligent mecha storytelling.

Set against the gleaming skyline of Tokyo, Japan's bustling capital is currently in the midst of an ambitious Space Elevator construction project, with a major international summit looming on the horizon. In this near-future world, cutting-edge powered armor technology known as Willwear has become both a tool of justice and a weapon of crime. To combat the rising tide of Willwear-related offenses, an elite unit was formed: the Special Public Security Fifth Division Third Mobile Assault Eighth Unit, known simply as Unit 8. Led by Takeru Kuroki, the team relies on sharp wits, bold courage, and sharp negotiation skills to tackle each case. Now bolstered by fresh recruits and a new partnership with the civilian police force, Unit 8 stands ready for whatever comes next—even as Willwear crimes continue to grow more frequent and more dangerous.
