By the Grace of the Gods is getting ready to come back for the anime’s second season, and now fans have been given the release date and a new poster celebrating the upcoming episodes! The first season of the anime adaptation for Roy and Ririnra’s original light novel series was one of the few new anime releases seen during the chaotic 2020 anime year, and its light approach to the overall Isekai subgenre formula was a major hit with fans. Confirming a second season was in the works long after, now it won’t be too much longer until we get to see the next wave of episodes.
By the Grace of the Gods previously announced Season 2 would be airing during the Winter 2023 anime season, but the newest update has thankfully confirmed that the new episodes will be kicking off on January 8th. To celebrate the confirmation of the new season’s premiere date, By the Grace of the Gods has dropped a new poster for the episodes along with detailing more of the new characters and cast members that fans will get to see in the new season:
