A teaser visual has been released for the second cour of the Let This Grieving Soul Retire TV anime, depicting various characters under the shade of Ansem.
Let This Grieving Soul Retire cour 2 is premiering this October. It was announced in December 2024 after the end of the first cour, which aired during the Fall 2024 anime season. Crunchyroll has already confirmed that it will stream the new cour as well.
Let This Grieving Soul Retire is based on the light novels written by Tsukikage and illustrated by Chyko, which are published by Micro Magazine under its GC Novels label. T J-Novel Club describes the books’ premise as:
It’s the golden age for treasure hunters—adventurers hungry for wealth, fame, power, and glory, who risk their lives in treasure vaults throughout the world. “Let’s become treasure hunters.” Krai and his childhood friends swore to become the greatest of them all, but that dream should have died the day Krai realized he wasn’t cut out for the job! Yet expectations continue to mount, right along with Krai’s fear for his life. While his childhood friends climb closer toward their dream, this grieving soul has one simple wish: to pack it all in and retire!
The first volume of the light novels was released in August 2018, after the web novel’s debut on Shousetsuka ni Narou earlier in the same year. There are 12 volumes as of September 2024. There is a manga by Rai Hebino, which Yen Press publishes in English.
