Goblin Slayer fans must be very excited for Season 2 as it’s nearing its official release. After all, its story is considered one of the darkest and heart-wrenching. So, for the curious fans, here’s the exact release date and time information of the series. Besides that, we will also let you know about the platform where the series will stream.

Goblin Slayer Season 2 was green-lit during an event in 2021, where we also learned that Misato Takada, who has directed anime like Magical Sempai and Boarding School Juliet, will be directing the new episodes. Takaharu Ozaki, who directed the anime’s first season, will be a part of the project as Chief Director.

Later, in early 2023, we got the news that Liden Films would be taking over the project from the hands of White Fox Studios, which delivered Goblin Slayer Season 1.

Although White Fox left no stone unturned in making the first season visually appealing, Liden Films has blessed the industry with several masterpieces like Tokyo Revengers, Berserk, and more, so we can presume what quality the new season will come with in terms of animation.

Goblin Slayer Season 2 release date and time

Goblin Slayer 2 will premiere for Japanese viewers on Saturday, October 7, 2023, at 1:00am JST, while the episode will be released for the International fanbase on Friday, October 6, 2023. Below is the time schedule you must follow to watch the episode on the streaming services:

  • 9:35am PDT
  • 11:35am CDT
  • 12:35pm EDT
  • 5:35pm British Time
  • 6:35 pm Central European Time
  • 10:05pm IST

Where to watch Goblin Slayer Season 2

Like the first season, Goblin Slayer’s upcoming season has been renewed by Crunchyroll. For now, there is no news regarding the dubbed version of the new episodes, but fans can enjoy the subbed version on the streaming platform until then. Usually, it takes 2-3 months for the dubbed version of anime shows to arrive on the platform, but sometimes it usually becomes a matter of weeks.

On October 3, 2023, the preview images for the first episode surfaced online, and it successfully created hype with its crisp animation. Looking at the stills, several fans wonder if the first episode will be as traumatizing as the first episode of Season 1 was. However, there is less possibility of something like that happening as the first season faced several backlashes for its controversial premiere episode.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
  2.  Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
  3.  Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference; for example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan, or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
