The much-anticipated second season of the popular isekai anime, “I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level,” has officially announced its premiere date. Fans can mark their calendars for April 5th, when the adventures of the immortal witch, Azusa, and her ever-growing found family will continue.
A Long-Awaited Return
The announcement came via a new promotional video that was released, exciting fans who have eagerly awaited the return of the series since its first season concluded.

Her goal was to live out her days quietly and without any stress by killing the weakest monsters of all, slimes.
The Power of a Peaceful Life
Ironically, the simple act of slaying slimes for 300 years led to her unintentionally reaching the maximum level, giving her immense power. She then became known as the “Witch of the Highlands”, and her quiet life was disturbed by various characters wanting to challenge her, or wanting to join her in her home. The first season introduced viewers to Azusa’s unique approach to life and her ever-growing circle of friends and family, including the red dragon, Laika, the ghost girl, Falfa, and her sister, Shalsha, along with the blue dragon, Fatla.
