For those not in the know, I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level, written by Kisetsu Morita and illustrated by Benio, first started out as a light novel series before being spun into a manga and anime as well. The first season was animated by Studio Revoroot, and season 2 is currently being animated by Studio Teddy.

Season 1 entertained viewers with its comforting fantasy vibe, funny hijinks, and lovable cast of characters. Now with Season 2, the series promises plenty of new magical adventures with Azusa and her oddball friends.

For fans watching from outside of Japan, I've Been Killing Slimes 2 episode 1 will be available soon after the Japanese broadcast on Crunchyroll with English subtitles for global audiences to be able to enjoy. While Funimation has now become a part of Crunchyroll, the English dubbed version may take a little longer.

It is also possible for services such as HIDIVE, Netflix, or Hulu to take it up in some regions, so remain vigilant for any updates; similarly it is a safe bet to plan on Blu-ray and DVD box sets coming a few months after season 02 is finished, along with exclusive art and features for all collectors.

Season 2 returns us to Azusa's deceptively peaceful life as the strongest witch in the world. As any avid viewer can tell you, there is no such thing as peace in the fantasy world! The first episode promises a reunion with Laika, Halkara, Falfa, and Shalsha, as well as potentially introducing new allies - or enemies. Given the fantasy genre, we can expect many unexpected run-ins with silly consequences.

The teasers imply that I've Been Killing Slimes 2 episode 1 might set Azusa and her friends off on a completely new adventure, perhaps leading them into a new land. If season 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, viewers can look forward to a ton of comedy and slice-of-life moments, unexpected challenges, and Azusa flexing her ridiculous power while trying to enjoy her relaxed lifestyle.
