posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Gree Entertainment revealed a new cast member on Friday for the the second season of the television anime of Tsukikage and Chyko's Let This Grieving Soul Retire! (Nageki no Bōrei wa Intai Shitai: Saijaku Hunter ni Yoru Saikyō Party Ikusei-jutsu) light novel series. The character will debut in episode 18, titled "I Just Want a Relaxing Hot Spring Soak."
Kiyono Yasuno is performing the second season's opening theme song "Algorithm," and i☆Ris is performing the ending theme song "Yume no Hitokakera" (Fragment of a Dream).
J-Novel Club is publishing the novels in English, and it describes the story:
It's the golden age for treasure hunters—adventurers hungry for wealth, fame, power, and glory, who risk their lives in treasure vaults throughout the world.“Let's become treasure hunters.”
Krai and his childhood friends swore to become the greatest of them all, but that dream should have died the day Krai realized he wasn't cut out for the job! Yet expectations continue to mount, right along with Krai's fear for his life. While his childhood friends climb closer toward their dream, this grieving soul has one simple wish: to pack it all in and retire!
The first season debuted in October 2024. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired.
Masahiro Takata (High-Rise Invasion, The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch, The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World) directed the first season at Zero-G, and was also credited as the sound director, with Saber Links on sound production. Hideki Shirane (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Aria the Scarlet Ammo, Date A Live) was in charge of the series scripts. Yūsuke Isouchi (Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It) and Shingo Fujisaki designed the characters. Ryōhei Sataka (Release the Spyce, D4DJ First Mix, Do It Yourself!!) composed the music, with Avex Pictures on music production.
