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.

Synopsis
The 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.

Why does this get season 2. Who asked for this seriously.

Honestly, I actually found the anime entertaining in some ways.

As for the adaptation and implementation of the first season, it was a punch in the pit of the stomach without a break.

Animations, scenes, representation everything was so bad on a whole new level, it was like watching a cheap Youtube fan animation. The dialogues between the characters were also mostly bad.

Many say that the manga is far better than the anime, but I have no say in that. Still, I'm surprised that it's getting a second season.

I know arifureta before the anime and I say that I am disappointed Arifureta is an isekai harem unlike anything I've ever seen the company that created the anime that spoiled him, he became a generic isekai harem because of the poriso company I am extremely sad who ruined a work of art who wants to know read the manga and the light novel i'm happy they are going to launch a 2 season i hope it improves more i believe they can improve the final improve nanatsu no 3 season in taizai in season 4 then i I believe that I will not be disappointed

won't call it trash since somehow its still enjoyable for me, but why tf season 2?

The basis of Arifureta at the start was really interesting however as it gone onwards it became a plain isekai, disappointing since I read the novels for some time and it got me really interested around a year or two ago. Honestly I like these sorts of antihero protagonists however this one just got more and more plain as the anime progressed.

I, uhh, don't think anyone expected this. Seriously. No sarcasm.

It was a really great anime, I don't get all these crybabies complaining in the comments, if you don't like it don't watch it? So annoying. To us non-manga readers it was a pretty decent anime, and it brought a really cool story on how the main character thrived even after he was betrayed and became stronger because of his own will. Hate to see all these annoying whining little girls in the comments, I'm all for a second season and I'll really enjoy it!

Halfway through the light novel. It's trash, but the good kind, like To LOVE-Ru. You could say this is one of my guilty pleasures.

man, Arifureta had so much potential, i actually enjoyed it but it was so rushed and poorly animated that i feel bad for liking it, hope they do better on the 2nd season.

Agreed. The rough spots are bad, but overall it was an enjoyable show to watch. If S2 is extended to be a full cour, then the pacing probably will improve. I feel like it was rushed to make it to a point that manages to be 13 episodes and is a reasonable cliff hanger, but then again there were plenty of points in the story that they could have stopped.

Really, S1 should have been a full cour, you can even tell without reading source that the pacing was way too fast. Still looking forward to the S2, I'm not gonna hope for a vast improvement though, feels too optimistic but I'm willing to be surprised. As long as the pacing and animation don't get worse it'll still be worth the watch imo (because it really isn't the worst out there lets be honest).

easily a gem that needs some work but still good

quick question -- why tf......?

Apr 6, 2020 9:36 AM by k2kv

its a bad entertaining, not the best but still good. I'm actually excited for a season 2

Feb 10, 2020 8:20 PM by Sh0k0

I believe some people on MAL are blind to call this adaptation one of the worst of this season, perhaps has to do with some old readers that loved Isekais of the early decade, I think Arifureta deserves a second season for all the mixed stuff involved.
