Goblin Slayer is an ongoing light novel series by Kumo Kagyu, though it became infamous online with its TV anime adaptation by studio White Fox.

While it may seem like another fantasy anime at first glance, the first episode’s shocking and grim events scarred many viewers, enough that it got plenty of buzz when it first aired back in 2018.

Since then, Goblin Slayer has continued to be popular, though it was only in early 2021 that a second season was confirmed.

Over the weekend, a new key visual for Season 2 was revealed, featuring the main cast.

This key visual reveal follows the release of the second season’s trailer back in January.

It also gives fans a peek at how the next season will look. After all, Season 2 is animated by Liden Films, the studio behind Tokyo Revengers.

Despite the studio change, the show’s main voice cast returns for this new season, including Yuichiro Umehara (Weather Report in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean) as the titular Goblin Slayer, and Yui Ogura (Myu in Arifureta) as the Priestess.
