posted on by Egan Loo
Pony Canyon announced with an English-subtitled teaser on Sunday that the anime of Kinosuke Naito's Farming Life in Another World (Isekai Nonbiri Nōka) light novel series will return with a second season in 2026. The main cast is returning, as is most of the production staff at Zero-G. Pony Canyon also announced the franchise's first game, the LINE browser game Farming Life in Another World: Dreamy Life.
The game will be free (with in-game item purchases) in Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
Naito gave the following message to commemorate the new season's announcement:
Congratulations on the Season 2 anime adaptation!
This is all thanks to the incredible support from everyone, as well as the hard work of the anime staff and all those involved. Thank you so much!
Huh? You are asking what did the original author do?
Absolutely nothing! I just sat here with my mouth open, waiting!
It really feels like good fortune falling right into my lap!
Season 1 alone was more than enough to make me full, and now we're getting a Season 2?
Well… I did kind of slightly expect it, though.
Since the anime and the original novel use different methods of expression, there will naturally be some differences,
but I hope you'll enjoy it all with an open mind.
Please wait just a little longer until the broadcast begins.
Thank you for your continued support!
One Peace Books began releasing Yasuyuki Tsurugi's manga adaptation of the novels in November 2020, and it describes the story:
After Hiraku dies of a serious illness, God brings him back to life, gives his health and youth back, and sends him to a fantasy world of his choice. In order to enjoy his second shot, God bestows upon him the almighty farming tool! Watch as Hiraku digs, chops, and ploughs in another world in this laidback farming fantasy!
