The first full-length trailer for Goblin Slayer II has been released, with the video previewing various scenes of Goblin Slayer and his party members killing goblins. There’s also a quick look at new character Wizard Boy.
Aside from the trailer’s release, it was announced that Goblin Slayer Season 2 will debut in October 2023, and that Mili and Yuki Nakashima are performing the opening and ending song, respectively. The opening is titled “Entertainment” while the ending is “Kasumi no Mukou he.”
The Goblin Slayer anime is based on the light novels written by Kumo Kagyu and illustrated by Noboru Kannatsuki, which are published under SB Creative’s GA Bunko label. The light novels have inspired various spin-offs and manga.
Yen Press describes the light novel series as:
A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It’s the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue–a man who’s dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there’s no telling who might come calling next…
Unlike the 2018 first season, Goblin Slayer II is directed by Misato Takada (Saiyuki Reload Zeroin) with Hiromi Katou (ID-0) as character designer and LIDENFILMS as the animation production studio. The first season’s director Takaharu Ozaki is involved as chief director while series composer/scriptwriter Hideyuki Kurata and music composer Kenichirou Suehiro are reprising their roles.
The cast includes Yuuichirou Umehara as Goblin Slayer, Yui Ogura as Priestess, Yuka Iguchi as Cow Girl, Maaya Uchida as Guild Girl, Nao Touyama as High Elf Archer, Yuuichi Nakamura as Dwarf Shaman, and Tomokazu Sugita as Lizard Priest.
The previous season and the 2020 OVA Goblin Slayer: Goblin’s Crown were produced by White Fox.
