Fans of the fantasy-adventure series “I Parry Everything: What Do You Mean I’m the Strongest? I’m Not Even an Adventurer Yet!” can rejoice, as a second season for the TV anime adaptation has been officially announced. The news broke during the “Earth Star Novel 10th Anniversary Summer Festival” event held on July 19, 2025.
The announcement comes after the first season, produced by OLM, aired from July 5 to September 20, 2024. The series quickly garnered attention for its unique premise and comedic misunderstandings surrounding the protagonist, Noor.
What We Know About the Second Season
While details regarding the specific release date for the second season remain scarce, the official confirmation at a major industry event signals a strong commitment to the anime’s continuation. Typically, even popular anime require at least a year for a new season to be produced and released. Some discussions online have speculated a possible release around late April/early May 2026, or even early 2027, given the production timelines for anime sequels.
Production Studio and Staff
The first season was animated by OLM, with Dai Fukuyama directing, Shigeru Murakoshi handling series scripts, Chikako Noma designing the characters, and Tatsuhiko Saiki composing the music. It is expected that much of the core staff will return for the second season to maintain continuity in the anime’s style and direction, though official confirmations are pending.
The Popularity of “I Parry Everything”
The “I Parry Everything” franchise originated as a web novel on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō in October 2019, written by Nabeshiki. It was later acquired by Earth Star Entertainment, which began publishing it as a light novel series with illustrations by Kawaguchi in September 2020. As of May 2025, ten volumes of the light novel have been released.
Manga Adaptation and International Reach
A manga adaptation, illustrated by KRSG, also began serialization on Earth Star Entertainment’s Comic Earth Star online magazine in September 2020. This multimedia approach has helped expand the series’ reach.
The anime’s first season was licensed by Sentai Filmworks for streaming in North America, Australia, and the British Isles on Hidive, while Muse Communication handled licensing in Asia-Pacific. This international distribution contributed to the series’ global popularity. The anime performed well on various platforms, frequently ranking among the most-watched anime titles in Japan and internationally, indicating a solid viewership base that likely supported the decision for a second season.
What to Expect from Season 2
The story of “I Parry Everything” follows Noor, a protagonist who believes his only skill is the seemingly useless ability to “Parry” anything. Unbeknownst to him, this single skill makes him the strongest individual in his world, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings as he attempts to become a humble adventurer. The first season covered roughly two volumes of the light novel. With an abundance of source material available, the second season is expected to continue Noor’s misadventures, delve deeper into the world, and introduce new characters and challenges that highlight his unwitting strength.
Fans can anticipate more of the unique humor and action that characterized the first season, as Noor continues his journey to achieve his dream of being an adventurer, all while accidentally overcoming every obstacle with his unparalleled parrying abilities.
