 The 13th and final episode of Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest) ended with an announced on Monday that a second season of the anime series is in production.  SynopsisThe ordinary life of 17-year-old otaku Hajime Nagumo is disrupted when he and his classmates are summoned to a fantasy world and tasked with saving mankind. While his classmates are gifted with impressive abilities useful in combat, Hajime is belittled for only gaining an inferior transmutation skill that lacks any real offensive power. During an expedition in the Great Orcus Labyrinth, Hajime is betrayed by one of his classmates, plummeting him to the bottom of an abyss. Though he survives the fall, Hajime is faced with menacing monsters and misfortunes that send him spiraling into a grim nightmare. Desperate to live and return home one day, he resolves to fight for his survival—only to meet an imprisoned vampire he names Yue, who is also seeking to escape the labyrinth. Taking an interest in him, Yue and a few others along the way accompany Hajime on his journey to find a way back home, while steadily transforming from commonplace to the world's strongest.

| Arifureta, literally one of the worst isekai adaptation: *season 2 confirmed right after the last episode* No Game No Life, literally one of the best isekai adaptation: *no news about season 2 for 5 years now* Well, I guess it was popular in Japan.l, and that's all that matters to the studios |
 |
| *sigh* what I did not ask for was for some reason granted. Ok anime industry... Thank you I guess but no thanks? |
| It must be popular in Japan. I'm still surprised that there's already a sequel announced. Season 1 was kind of fun to watch even with the weird pacing and all. I probably will watch the second season out of morbid curiosity. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| This was certainly unexpected news........this was probably the last show that I thought would ever get a sequel. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I, uhh, don't think anyone expected this. Seriously. No sarcasm. |
| Arifureta was one of the top recorded shows in Japan, and was also one of the biggest streamed anime in international market (including the west) so you all that watched it to hate watch, good job, you all made it get a second season for a thing you hate XD So next time, don't do that. -Aincrad- said: Arifureta, literally one of the worst isekai adaptation: *season 2 confirmed right after the last episode* No Game No Life, literally one of the best isekai adaptation: *no news about season 2 for 5 years now* Well, I guess it was popular in Japan.l, and that's all that matters to the studios They have completely different production committee. Stop making those comparisons when different companies are responsible for it. |
| And superior isekai's like Isekai Mahou and especially NGNL are still left in limbo, well shit. |

No,it's average. Worst isekai should be Isekai Smartphone or Garzey's Wings. I know,right? Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei is getting second season after 5 years,lol. Arifureta have only butchered up plot and bad CGI animation,that's all. It's average or rather,good and bad at the same time. |
| There is no bad waifu,only bad anime. |
| Good news 2020 is going to have more sequels than any other year WaifuMaster17 said: Worst isekai? No,it's average. Worst isekai should be Isekai Smartphone or Garzey's Wings. Bullshit. Isekai Smartphone was entertaining WaifuMaster17 said: I know,right? Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei is getting second season after 5 years,lol. Small correction. 6 years season 1 2014 season 2 2020 |
Why, the show was trash.. who would want another season of this... |
Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. wow so rude, atleast sign your name when you yeet my signature  heres a big picture smh  |
| Oh, it was also the top viewing at bilibili in China. |
It's indeed entertaining,as i said in my review,but it's suffers from one big fatal flaw: The Gary Stu of Gary Stu's,Touya Mochizuki,the worst OP character ever made. Yes,it's have bad CGI and completely butchered up plot,but still,it's have positive aspects that some isekai don't. Read my review for Arifureta if you wanna know.

| There is no bad waifu,only bad anime. |
| I'm surprised this got a season 2 so quick even though the anime quality was below standard. |
| damn, am I the only one who enjoys the first season? any comrade here...sigh it's much better than isekai cheat magician too be honest... |

I said isekai adaptation I didn't say it's the worst isekai, because it actually isn't, the story is interesting, and I know the source material is actually good, but the anime adaptation... You know it really is one of the worst adaptions |
|
| The problem is not that it got a second season, my problem is how the fuck did a s2 get approved when the production for it was so crap?. im stumped. O;O |
| No, No, No, No, and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO What's this shit? Why we should get more of this garbage when there are tons of good shows that can be animated or reanimated instead. Japan, fuck you, kay? MadeByAsians said: I'm sorry what? You clearly watch everything without giving a shit of enjoyment or other thingies so what's the point of your biased post here?Honestly it wasn’t all that bad. The option of dropping the anime was never there for me. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Actually surprised. Well at least that means the story will get to be more fleshed out, even if the overall results are still mediocre, it's at least a step forward as one of the biggest issues isekai have, that is that the beginning of all them are just the same rehashed ideas and that they always abruptly end without actually accomplishing anything, so at least giving us a second season will let us see how the series differs itself from every other. Hopefully anyways. Also hoping they improve the CGI, probably some of the worst in anime ever. |
Mormegil said: I, uhh, don't think anyone expected this. Seriously. No sarcasm. Maybe we can get a S2 of Isekai Cheat Magician to complete the lolwut moment. |
| Every day we stray further from Haruhi. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting that, that’s surprising they've decided to make another season of Arifureta. |
 |
| Certainly wasn’t expecting this but it’s good to know that the anime is doing just about enough to warrant a sequel season. As for me, I have yet to watch Season 1 though so it’s hard to say if I’ll stick around the second season even. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| I watched this show because I could tell it would be bad (and it truly is awful), but I don't think I'll be able to sit through a second season. |

Pipe said: I ain't but i'm still mad that these random-garbage anime get more than one season.Tista said: No, No, No, No, and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO What's this shit? Why we should get more of this garbage when there are tons of good shows that can be animated or reanimated instead. Japan, fuck you, kay? Do not watch it lol |
| Congrats haters you made this possible. |
| Tbh I'd rather Maou-sama Retry to get a sequel than this crap...... Or maybe Mondai-tachi because why not? |
 |
| If they fix the anime in the Blu-rays, okay. If they don't why even bother? |
 |
| I drop this show halfway but remember folks, Myanimelist opinion are irrelevant. It doesn't matter what anime we shit on, Japan doesn't care. To the Japanese we are just insignificant ant. |
| Looking forward to it. other than the Awful CGI it was a pretty fun series. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| Good news. I never expected that. I like this series despite the horrible CGI. |
| I didn't expect this to have a second season, I dropped this and I didn't like the way this adaptation went. |
Mormegil said: I, uhh, don't think anyone expected this. Seriously. No sarcasm. True, but tbh, depending on the studios that adapts this, I may actually be excited, since late volumes of the LN have been really enjoyable with stuff I would like to see adapted, as long as doesnt end like S1. |
 |
| Perfect example of what I’ve always tried to tell people. No one gives a fuck about MAL or Reddit’s opinion of a series. Anime isn’t made for westerners lol. It’s hugely popular in japan and that’s all that matters. That said, I’m happy to get more arifureta, but I really hope they can actually improve the direction and CG this time because this is ridiculous. I mean ffs that last shot of Hajime and co driving was God awful. The fight in the dungeon was God awful. Skipping most of the light novels and the first 5 episodes were God awful. This is one of my favourite light novel series of all time and I hate how it’s been butchered by shitty direction. |

 |
| I'm actually very pleased about this news. The show was my guilty pleasure of the season and I'm surprised it did well enough for a 2nd season depite it being a pretty generic isekai. |
| Hell yeah !!!! HELL YEAH !!!!! |
 Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. |
