is the second season of the Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya anime series. The episodes were directed by Shin Oonuma and Masato Jinbo and animated by Silver Link.[1] The season is based on the first half of Hiroshi Hiroyama's Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei manga series, which is the second series of the Prisma Illya manga; an alternate universe spin-off of Type-Moon's visual novel Fate/stay night in which the events of the Fourth Holy Grail War from Fate/Zero never occurred and Illya lived a normal life. The plot of this season focuses on the arrival of Illya's "clone" Kuro, Illya learning more about her past as well as her role in the Holy Grail War and finding the rest of the Class Cards.

Prisma Illya 2wei was first announced on September 14, 2013 with the final episode of season one including a teaser at the end, announcing that the anime would return next summer for a second season.[2] The season originally aired from July 10, 2014 to September 9, 2014 on Tokyo MX and lasted ten episodes. Five Blu-ray compilations were released in Japan, with each one containing two episodes,[3] [4] with each one containing a 5-minute-long OVA, the first of which is titled "First Bra: Illya-hen".[5] Sentai Filmworks acquired the rights to the season and released an English dub of the season on DVD and Blu-ray disc on February 16, 2016. The discs include the original Japanese dub with English subtitles.[6]

This season features two pieces of theme music that are used for the episodes: one for the opening and one for the ending. The opening theme is "moving soul" by Minami Kuribayashi[7] [8] and the ending theme is "Two By Two" by Yumeha Kouda.[9] [10]
