The 11th and 12th episodes of Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense. Season 2, which were meant to premiere on April 5 and 12, respectively, following Episode 7’s delay, are getting their release dates pushed back again. 

Now, Episode 11 will debut in Japan on April 12, while Episode 12 will premiere on April 19 (effectively April 20 at 12 AM JST). Episode 10 will be re-aired during Episode 11’s original broadcast slot.

Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense. Season 2 begin airing on January 11. It was originally announced with a 2022 release date. The first season aired in 2020 with 12 episodes.

The anime is an adaptation of the light novel series written by Yuumikan and illustrated by Koin, which began in 2017 and has 15 volumes as of January 2023. The series is published under the Kadokawa Books label. 

Yen Press describes the first volume as:

IS SHE THE GAME’S LAST BOSS?! Though she doesn’t play many MMOs, Maple has either a natural talent or impossibly good luck, because by pouring every last stat point she has into Vitality, she’s created a character who can’t be hurt! Whether it’s physical attacks or magic or status effects, nothing poses a real threat. In no time at all, news spreads across the server about the adorable terror who can’t be defeated. While Maple may just be having fun, her broken build is sure to attract lots of unexpected attention…

Like the first season, the staff includes Shin Oonuma as director, Fumihiko Shimo as series composer, Kazuya Hirata as character designer and chief animation director, and Tarou Masuda as music composer. SILVER LINK. is again the animation production company.

Meanwhile, the returning cast includes Kaede Hondo as protagonist Maple, Ruriko Noguchi as Sally, Saori Hayami as Kasumi, Satomi Arai as Kanade, Noriaki Sugiyama as Kuromu, Satomi Satou as Iz, Ai Kakuma as Mai, and Nanaka Suwa as Yui.

Bofuri was originally a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2016. A manga adaptation by Jirou Oimoto began in 2018.

Melvyn originally wanted to write about video games, and he did so for a few years, starting from his college days. He still writes about video games sometimes, but now focuses on anime-related news content and the occasional review. Some of his free time is spent self-learning Japanese, both out of interest in the language and because English-translated light novels and manga are expensive. Every anime season, Melvyn looks forward to discovering new standout episodes and OP/ED animation sequences, as well as learning about the storyboard artists and directors behind them.
