The first season of the anime series premiered in July 2019 on Netflix and was warmly received at the time of its release. However, likely due to the production issues that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, the second season has taken a bit more time to finish.
Originally released in April 2012, Kengan Ashura became an extremely popular manga during its run producing 27 volumes total before coming to an end in August 2018. A new series, Kengan Omega, has also been running since January 2019, with that manga producing 10 volumes of content as of now.
