The anime series debuted in October 2018, streamed by Crunchyroll and Funimation. The anticipation of a second season for Goblin Slayer grew after the 12th episode ended with a message saying that “Goblin Slayer will return.”
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with it, Goblin Slayer tells the tale of a guy in armor with the burning desire to fight goblins. It is categorized as a dark fantasy and was not spared from some controversy due to some erotic scenes. Regardless, the anime drew a huge fanbase.
The original forecast was to see it come out in 2020. But with the pandemic coming into play, it hardly comes as a surprise that things got delayed. However, things seem to have settled and there is good reason to see the second season of Goblin Slayer in 2021.
