The dark-academia isekai — a mage who returns to his student days to stop a world-ending calamity — returns with FLOW on the opening, a band anime fans know well from their long run of shonen theme songs. Slotting a group with that pedigree on a mid-tier seasonal title is a signal the production wants Season 2 taken seriously.
