Goblin Slayer Season 2 is making its return this fall of 2023. The prequel of Goblin Slayer was released in 2018, followed by the movie in 2020.
Goblin Slayer Season 1 was quite popular among the viewers, but everyone had a different opinion after watching the first episode.
Mostly because Goblin Slayer’s concept was different from the other anime back in 2018, it would be interesting to see if Goblin Slayer Season 2 would have the same spark as Season 1.
Goblin Slayer Season 2 had been produced under LIDENFILMS Studio, which worked on projects like Insomniacs After School and Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan this year.
The anime would follow the source material of the light novel, like the previous season. It’s not hard to guess the story of the anime from the title itself.
Fans of the anime series have been waiting for the release of Goblin Slayer Season 2. Fans have high expectations for this arc.
They are hoping that this will be better than the previous season. Viewers have mixed opinions about Goblin Slayer Season 2 art style since everybody loved the art style of the previous season.
Nonetheless, it’s still going to be great, as we can see from the promotional video. The opening song has been sung by Mili, who also provided their vocals for the opening of Goblin Slayer Season 1. Yuki Nakashima has contributed her voice to the ending song this season.
About Goblin Slayer
Goblin Slayer’s plot revolves around Onna Shinkan, a priestess who became an adventurer so she could help other people.
After becoming an adult, she joins other adventurers on their quest to help them out. However, due to her lack of experience, she gets assigned the lowest rank as a beginner.
A guy asks her to join their party because they are missing the priestess. But they were going on an urgent quest, so it seemed like a good idea.
They were planning to slay the goblins in their quest because they had attacked a village and stolen their supplies and stocks. On top of that, they even kidnapped some girls.
So the party had to quickly leave to save the girls. But on their first quest, Onna Shinkan could not manage to save even a single person.
She met the Goblin Slayer inside the dark cave. He was not a valiant hero or savior. Because all he cared about was killing, annihilating, and slaying the goblins.
Onna Shinkan had heard that the Goblin Slayer had an unfortunate past, but she was not aware of the details. But she believed that if his past was clean.
He would have never taken on the job of goblin slayer. To find something, Onna Shinkan decided to join the Goblin Slayer and help him annihilate the goblins.
Goblin Slayer Season 2 Preview
Goblin Slayer Season 2 looks more intense and gory than Season 1. If we talk about characters, it’s pretty evident from the PV that Onna Shinkan has grown a lot since the last season.
Goblin Slayer admitted that he does not plan to save the world; rather, he just wants to kill the goblins. This means we won’t be getting to see his kind side this season; his aim remains the same as in Season 1.
Viewers are excited to see how much Onna has improved her skills since the previous season. They are hyped to get introduced to the rest of the adventurers in Goblin Slayer Season 2.
This season is going to have more intense fighting and bloodshed, which had not been covered in the previous season, so everyone is very excited for the Goblin Slayer Season 2 premiere.
