The official website for the anime adaptation of the By the Grace of the Gods light novel series began streaming a teaser trailer for the anime’s second season. This teaser reveals the new main writer for the series, as well as a new cast member. The second season will debut in January 2023.
The new writer is confirmed to be Yuka Yamada, who will be replacing Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. Furthermore, Yuiko Tatsumi will be voicing Miyabi, the fox-eared character. The anime originally premiered in Japan in October last year, in a co-production with Funimation.
By the Grace of the Gods tells the story of middle-aged Japanese businessman Ryoma Takebayashi, who came to a rather sudden and disappointing end. Ryoma had never had a blessed life, but after his death, three great gods sought his cooperation and reincarnated him as a child in another world with swords and magic!
Receiving a most cordial and divine welcome from the gods, Ryoma decides to live leisurely on his own in the forest for the time being. Working diligently at magic and hunting, Ryoma’s greatest passion comes to be researching his tamed slimes?! Training a variety of slimes (some newly discovered), the curtain rises on this easy-going life fantasy celebrating a second life with kind people in another world!
