Goblin Slayer is a dark adventure anime that first aired in 2018. The genius of Goblin Slayer comes from its beautiful blend of happy, vibrant colors of the real world juxtaposed with the dark, creepy atmosphere of the real-er world.
The contrast highlights the duality of life itself and how transient bliss can be easily replaced by lifelong despair. The anime was well-liked by the audience and is finally receiving an anime after four long years. Here are the details.
The official website for Goblin Slayer II, the anime’s second season, revealed a promotional video and teaser visual. Crunchyroll will stream the anime as it releases.
The promotional video features the Goblin Slayer and a few of the other significant characters. However, it is worrisome that the animation is not great. And from the video, it seems like volumes 6 and 7 will be adapted.
The teaser visual shows Goblin Slayer, High Elf Archer, the Priestess, and the Shield Maiden.
Most of the staff members from season one are returning for season 2. And here is the list of staff members working on the anime.
