 A second anime season of Kumo Kagyuu's Goblin Slayer light novel series was announced at the GA Fes 2021 event on Sunday. The event also revealed a teaser visual (pictured).Synopsis Goblins are known for their ferocity, cunning, and rapid reproduction, but their reputation as the lowliest of monsters causes their threat to be overlooked. Raiding rural civilizations to kidnap females of other species for breeding, these vile creatures are free to continue their onslaught as adventurers turn a blind eye in favor of more rewarding assignments with larger bounties. To commemorate her first day as a Porcelain-ranked adventurer, the 15-year-old Priestess joins a band of young, enthusiastic rookies to investigate a tribe of goblins responsible for the disappearance of several village women. Unprepared and inexperienced, the group soon faces its inevitable demise from an ambush while exploring a cave. With no one else left standing, the terrified Priestess accepts her fate—until the Goblin Slayer unexpectedly appears to not only rescue her with little effort, but destroy the entire goblin nest. As a holder of the prestigious Silver rank, the Goblin Slayer allows her to accompany him as he assists the Adventurer's Guild in all goblin-related matters. Together with the Priestess, High Elf, Dwarf, and Lizard-man, the armored warrior will not rest until every single goblin in the frontier lands has been eradicated for good. [Written by MAL Rewrite] The dark fantasy series was originally posted on an online textboard in October 2012, combining ASCII art with dialogues. Kagyuu rewrote the story into a novel format and revised to match the online edition, but lost in the third round of the 27th Fujimi Fantasia Taisho. GA Bunko editors picked up the novel when the author entered the 7th GA Bunko Taisho with a different work. SB Creative began publishing the novel series through its GA Bunko imprint in February 2016 and shipped the 13th volume on October 14. The 14th volume is scheduled for release on March 12. Goblin Slayer has a cumulative 7 million copies on its volumes in circulation. Kousuke Kurose began drawing a manga adaptation in Big Gangan magazine in May 2016. Square Enix published the tenth volume on October 12. White Fox adapted the light novel into a 12-episode television anime in Fall 2018, followed by a theatrical episode in February 2020. Crunchyroll simulcast the show with subtitles, while Funimation streamed an English dub. The latter also shipped the anime series on home video in October 2019, with the theatrical episode planned for release on March 30. Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga adaptation in English in May 2016 and published the tenth light novel volume on August 25 and the ninth manga volume on December 15. The company is also publishing the Goblin Slayer Gaiden: Year One (Goblin Slayer Side Story: Year One) and Goblin Slayer: Brand New Day side stories.

| Well, it's not as if we didn't see it coming, right? Didn't hate the first season so I'll take more. Give me more Receptionist scenes, please! On another note, expecting DanMachi S4 to be announced in the ongoing panel... |

| After the whole world building and everything in the first season, hope the second season gets more intense with an actual big plot or something... |
 |
| NOW THIS is a long-awaited one. Season 1 was brutal enough, let's see if Season 2 can pave for more of the same. "Goblin Slayer will return." LITERALLY. |

| YESSSS!! Finally an announcement for Goblin Slayer 2. Really looking forward to this and seeing more goblin killings |
| Goblin Slayer season 2 nice |
| Gross, no thanks. But cheers to the people that like the series. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| Oh brother, wonder if there will be more controversial scenes like in S1 episode 1 lol. More dumb fun with slaying goblins should be a nice treat. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL has literally become a brain dead extension of the worst and most moronic aspects of Twitter 🗣️🗣️🗣️ |
| Did somebody say Goblin? E'f YEAH!! |
  |
| yayyyyyyyyyyyy im so happy |
| I hope to see a goblin. |
Hrybami said: I hope to see a goblin. Nah, no way. It's impossible. |

| Now this is a pleasant surprise. But still a welcome one as i really enjoyed the anime and the source material that it derives from. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Lmao. Well this is no surprise. Can't wait! Let's see what this season will have to offer. |
 |
| Great, best news lately. Can't wait to see more Goblin slaying. |
| "Goblin Slayer san" , It was about time to see Onna Shinkan in action. |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| The second season was announced in late January, but so far there is nothing new while we are in September. |
 |
