I've been saying this more and more often but time really flies. Didn't realize that it've been 4 years since the first season because we actually got a side arc animated 2 years back.

DanMachi is the only anime that prompted me to buy and read the LN, somehow. The show also have inspired me indirectly numerous time after 2015. This show will always have a place in my heart.

tl;dr I'm just glad to see DanMachi back once again!!

Good to see this show's back, been looking forward to this!
I like how everyone ships Bell with Ais, almost ^^
All the girls are looking gorgeous at the party especially Ais during the dance.
Of course Apollo had to ruin that and he seems to be related to a certain guy from SAO lol.

PS: Was I the only one who, seeing the emblem of the Family of the Apollo God, thought it was the family of the Goddess Artemis?

With the bow on the logo? Definitely my first thought as well.

I missed my little Hestia too much, as childish and voluptuous as I remember her, she is still so adorable and tender. I love how Hestia look in that dress at the banquet.

Absolutely agree!
Shes the reason why Im still watching this, normally Id pass since theres way too many annoying characters for me, but Hestia is bestia

hoping for more screen time..

What a cringeworthy episode, I also hardly remember most characters. I recall enjoying the first season so either I grew up in these 4 years or this first episode was just atrocious. Hoping it improves.

Also am I missing something? I recall the first season ending on a cliffhanger and Hestia was with them in the dungeon. I also don't remember who Welf is, oh well guess I'll connect the dots eventually.

Said this already in the Kissanime comments but:

Bell: "I've never danced before."
Artemis: "Am I a joke to you?"

the movie is not cannon (from the author himself). In fact it's the only danmachi side story/short story that isn't cannon afaik.
The movie contradicts part of the danmachi lore and doesn't fit with the rest of the story.
So yeah, artemis is kind of a joke to him since his encounter with her is not technically existing in his timeline.

You have no idea how long I waited for the premiere of this season, back to see the adventures of Bell will be a pleasure, especially after seeing the slags that Bell will kick their ass, the liar of Apollo and those sensual amazons and I want to see that blonde Kitsune.
What can I say about Apollo's pawns, they are just as lying and crawling as their god, what a dirtier and looser move Apollo made to take Hestia to a war of families, the damn talkative rat who said all those disgusting words deserved That beating and it was obvious that those members of the Apollo family were the weakest to become the victims, but the obedient dog Hyakinthos beat Bell and Welf, fortunately that coward was afraid to see Bete and fled with his cowardly companions.
I missed my little Hestia too much, as childish and voluptuous as I remember her, she is still so adorable and tender. I love how Hestia look in that dress at the banquet.
Mikoto is too beautiful, from time to time it's good for her to look feminine.
The first impression I had of Apollo is that he is a cynical and manipulative god.
The appearance of Freya was something to be expected and she stole the compliments of all the men, Miach and Takemikazuchi received a punishment from their escort ladies for praising Freya's beauty.
Ainz makes her appearance and I can only say that she looks beautiful in that dress.
Hermes deserves a strong applause as the best wingman, he achieved the scene that I most expected to see, Bell and Ainz dancing together and they looked so happy until the filthy Apollo appeared and ruined everything.

The OP looks great, it shows too much of what the season will be and being sincere there are very good events and as for the animation everything looks the same as the first season and it makes me very happy.


Yeah, dude, you definitely didn't read the book...


Yes smart guy, unfortunately I still can not find the LN in my language (Spanish, aweonao).
Anyway, thanks for throwing salt to the wound again smart guy

Well after 4 years it has finally returned.

It is funny, i have been a pretty big fan of anime for over a decade and the genre i like the most are both the fantasy series and the isekai series, this one falls on the former with a few mmo mechanics but i want to make clear for some that is not an isekai.

Yet despite having all the qualities a generally like about these type of series, i was never a big fan of danmachi which i find it odd for myself, i just could never get into it as so many others have.

Yet there is always that aspect to it that keeps me interested enough for me to keep watching it at least once.

So with that said, i have to say some things in the first episode have improved it over s1 already, the animation is a step up, the characthers are still charming and the biggest improvement is that the story flow seems to have slowed and better paced than s1 episodes, well s1 adapted 5 volumes worth of content where as this one was said that will cover only 3 volumes( based on what people said about that interview back in the anime expo) if that is true than it shows, So yeah so even for a non major fan this might actually turn out to be great, it might even change my mind and it will go up in opinion.

Hmm the one major complaint i have is the motivations of the main villian Apollo, if that rape face did not make it clear than people should read the other comments about that guy just screaming SAO Oberon... Uff that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Boy it seems almost every god is such a manipulative freak with there own agenda and plans (Freya,Apollo, Hermes etc ), i just sometimes wish there was something or someone that would properly set them in place that even there arrogance of there power is not finite and can lower themselves from there high pedestals.


I give it a solid 7.5/10 if things keep going in the right direction and not focus to much on mr rape face than i should enjoy the rest of this arc. Here is hoping :)

After this great episode, i felt how much i really missed this show, and i am glad this show is back, so nostalgic to see a lot of familiar faces!

Apollo family picked up fight against Bell, wasn't a good decision, but i can't blame Bell, they were saying means things about Hestia!

It was even more a wonderfull returning, see all girls with wonderfull dresses foin the banquet, Hestia and Loki realationship as always, bringing back memories!

Hermes was without doubt the MVp of this episode, helping Bell to ask Ais for dacing was just an excelent surprise! And what a sweet dance they had, just wonderfull, Ais was pretty cute as always!

I was expecting soemthing like that from Apollo, it was enough to learn that a i dont like him, a War game between families, looks interesting, curious to see more about that!

Damn,I was so looking forward to "Loli Big Boobs" return,and wasn't disappointed.I love the chemistry between her and Bell,its so funny.
Nicely animated,and not too bad a pace,though i'm looking forward to the rest of the season as hopefully this War Game will be over fairly quick.
Seriously though,Mikoto at the ball,just WOW!!!!!
She was so hot in her outfit :)

Haha, Hermes always likes seeing Bell squirm. The dance was the highlight. The main antagonists seem kinda lame though. Overall the flow seemed rushed- and no I haven't read the LN. The pacing felt like they were trying to set up the next arc but ran outta screen time.

Did the animation bother anyone else? Really made it hard for me to concentrate on what the characters were saying. Mainly in the ballroom, with so many background characters just staring lifelessly at the camera, not blinking or moving, it was really distracting. It went on for ages and it actually annoyed me just having all these empty eyes stare at nothing.

Anyway, besides that, after the first half the episode kind of become boring imo, but I understand it was to set up other Gods and families, and having them all together it kind of the easiest way to do it.

Bel dancing with Ais was cute, I'm glad they both got development. The villain seems really generic. I'm feeling mixed towards this first episode I hope it gets better, I really liked the first series.

This anime is one of the first anime that I´ve seen when I started watching anime. And I was really hooked up when I saw it for the first time...You know it was something new an I really liked it...And now season 2 is here...I was so happy when I found out that another season is coming...Damn nostalgy is hitting so hard. Good "old" times... (In the beginning my main priority were pervert shows like Kissxis or Yamada´s first time...dunno why but whatever I liked it :D )

Am I missing something? Who the heck is the samurai girl? She appears in the new intro, so she seems to be relevant, but I don't remember her from season 1 or the other anime featuring the heroine.

Mikoto "Zetsu Ei" Yamato was here since half way of season 1, she's an adventurer who became level 2 just slightly before Bell, and part of Takemikazuchi familia who did a "pass" on Bell's group in the first series. This led to Bell and co being stranded, takemikazuchi familia warning Hestia of what happened and Mikoto & co joining and co organizing the "rescue party". after the end of season 1, as talked about in this first episode, she wished to help Bell & co in the dungeon as an apology for what happened before.
Thanks! After so many years I don't remember much of the first season.

As an anime only-watcher, and seeing Apollo for the first time, I gotta say...he is one creepy and disgusting AF mofo, as if he was Hannibal Lecter in that infamous scene of him looking at people like fava beans, only Apollo looks like an openly admitted sexual predator. And after reading some more info on him, I'm also told he's bisexual, which explains a lot after seeing that scene. On top of that, the guy who beat up Bell at the begining is apprently gay for Apollo too, so if their name-sakes indeed follow the myths they're based off of where they're lovers, that only adds to the credibility that he's looking at Bell like a piece of meat, with some seriously gross lecherous eyes while licking his lips. At least Freya has some class to not show her lust outwardly in public.

I hope Hestia familia beats the shit out of them all in that War game, especialy the midget that started all of this. Talk shit, get hit.

A random group comes and starts bullying our gang, acting like utter children. Of course, their leader is a child too... This will be painful to continue.

This is one of my favorites anime, one with I really start to watch anime seriously, one of first on my anime list. I was waiting for season 2 for ever, i think it's somewhere next to SAO, SnK, OPM, and it looks like Danmachi 2 won't be a disappointment, staff working on it apparently loves it as well.

I'm in a sort of different-but-still-the-same boat. My brother loves to watch abridged series. And since most of the anime I've watched I took from my brother's hard drive, I also watched the abridged works. All I have going in into this is YaroShien's Danmachi Abridged. I didn't watch the first season and I sort of thought "Hey, that's fine, they can't be too different". Boi was I in for the confusion of my life.

Note to self: never do this again.

And here I was thinking Apollo would be a more imposing deity... man, such a weirdo he ended up being.
Now leaving his rapist face aside, since he's Artemis' brother in mythology, I wonder whether there will be any mention of the movie or not...

Overall, a pretty mediocre start. More or less at the same level as previous season's first episode.

P.S.: Wasn't first season's Goliath like level 5 or something? and yet Bell couldn't even lay a finger on that Lv.3 prick...

What the hell happened to this series? Bell dancing with his girl was the only redeeming part for me. The series is going way too far into politics and god socializing. The fantasy part is enjoyable but some of us came to watch Bell go through dungeon adventures and "pick up girls in dungeons". The show is going through unnecessary conflicts.
