The official accounts for the “I Parry Everything: What Do You Mean I’m the Strongest? I’m Not Even an Adventurer Yet!” (Ore wa Subete o “Parry” Suru: Gyaku Kanchigai no Sekai Saikyō wa Bōken-sha ni Naritai) TV anime have officially announced that a second season is in production. While a specific release date has not yet been confirmed, fans can anticipate more adventures for the seemingly oblivious hero, Noor.
First Season’s Success and Premise
The first season of “I Parry Everything” premiered in July 2024, airing on channels like Tokyo MX and BS11. HIDIVE streamed the series as it aired, including an English dub, making it accessible to a wider international audience. The anime quickly gained traction, frequently appearing among the top-watched anime titles on various streaming services in Japan and performing well internationally. This strong performance, coupled with the light novel and manga adaptations reaching over a million copies in circulation by September 2024, likely played a significant role in the decision for a continuation.
The story, based on the light novel series by Nabeshiki and illustrated by Kawaguchi, centers on Noor. After rigorous, isolated training in the mountains for over a decade, Noor arrives at the royal capital with a singular dream: to become an adventurer. Despite his incredible ability to “Parry” thousands of attacks in a single breath, he remains under the misconception that this skill is largely useless and that he lacks true talent for adventuring. This misunderstanding leads to humorous situations as he unwittingly solves major crises, often with the help of Princess Lynneburg Clays, who recognizes his immense, albeit misunderstood, strength.
Production Details and Returning Team
The first season was animated by Studio OLM. Dai Fukuyama, known for episode direction on the Beyblade franchise and Fate/Zero, directed the series. Shigeru Murakoshi, who worked on Zombie Land Saga, was in charge of the series scripts. Character designs were handled by Chikako Noma, and the music was composed by Tatsuhiko Saiki. It is expected that the core production team will return for the second season, ensuring continuity in the anime’s style and storytelling.
Main Voice Cast
The Japanese voice cast for the first season included:
- Noor: Daiki Hamano
- Lynneburg Clays: Ryōko Maekawa

- King Clays: Jin Yamanoi
- Rein Clays: Junta Terashima

Source Material and Future Prospects
“I Parry Everything” originated as a web novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in October 2019, and it is still ongoing. Earth Star Entertainment then began publishing it as a light novel series in September 2020, with 10 volumes released as of May 2025. A manga adaptation, illustrated by KRSG, also began serialization in September 2020. The first season of the anime covered approximately two volumes of the light novel. Given the abundance of unadapted source material and the franchise’s growing popularity, the announcement of a second season was highly anticipated by fans. While a release window remains unconfirmed, industry speculation suggests that a new season could potentially arrive around early 2027, considering typical anime production timelines.
