The highly anticipated second season of the dark fantasy anime Goblin Slayer has finally received a release date of October 2023, according to an announcement made by the official Twitter/X account of the Goblin Slayer anime. Accompanying this exciting news is a gripping first trailer that offers a glimpse into the increased bloodshed and controversy that awaits viewers in this upcoming season. Notably, the production studio responsible for Season 2 has changed hands, with Linden Films taking over the helm. Fans of Berserk, Tokyo Revengers, and Call of the Night will recognize Linden Films as the studio behind these acclaimed series.
Goblin Slayer Season 2 Trailer Promises More Dark Fantasy Bloodshed
Goblin Slayer, derived from a popular light novel series and manga, caused quite a stir with its controversial portrayal of violence. The main character, known simply as Goblin Slayer, is nicknamed Orcbolg by his elf companion and Beardcutter by his dwarf friend. Unlike traditional fantasy heroes, Goblin Slayer's sole purpose in life is to eliminate every single one of the vile goblins responsible for ravaging his village. While other adventurers may view goblins as minor annoyances, Goblin Slayer fully understands the devastation these repulsive creatures can unleash, and he efficiently and mercilessly exterminates them.
The season 2 trailer offers a glimpse of the protagonist and his party engaging in more goblin slaying, as expected. This group of adventurers, who have become companions of the traditionally solitary warrior, have embarked on numerous quests together. Gradually, Goblin Slayer is discovering that there is more to life than simply exterminating goblins. However, fans should rest assured that the trailer demonstrates that these repugnant creatures will continue to meet a gruesome end, with plenty of blood to be spilled.
The broadcasting platform for season 2 of Goblin Slayer has not been confirmed yet, but it is likely that Crunchyroll will acquire the rights, as they did for season 1 and the subsequent film, Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown. This series has gained significant attention in recent years for its fresh take on a genre that is often filled with clichés. Fans were thrilled by the announcement of its October release and the release of the first trailer.
