What to Expect from Season 2
The Let This Grieving Soul Retire! anime adapts the light novel series by Tsukikage and illustrated by Chyko. The story follows Krai Andrey, the perceived leader of the elite treasure hunter party “The Grieving Souls,” who is widely believed to be the strongest and most cunning adventurer. In reality, Krai is a reluctant and rather weak individual whose success is largely due to his overwhelmingly powerful friends and an uncanny streak of luck, leading to hilarious misunderstandings and ever-increasing responsibilities that he desperately tries to avoid.
The second season is expected to continue Krai’s misadventures as he inadvertently rises higher in the world of treasure hunting, despite his constant desire to retire. The animation studio Zero-G, with Masahiro Takata directing, Hideki Shirane handling series scripts, and Yūsuke Isouchi and Shingo Fujisaki on character designs, will return to produce the second season.
