Seriously, it’s already been 3 years since the initial announcement.
Summary:
- I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level revealed an air date of 2025.
- Fans are concerned about the studio change.
- There’s not enough information to properly talk about the sequel right now.
Originally, the second season for I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level (Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita) was announced immediately after the end of the first one. However, the anime aired in 2021, and we’ve had no news on a sequel after that.
This led many to believe the project was canned. After all, it was produced by studio Revoroot, which had no independent projects since 2022.
The first season of Slime 300 was also not known for its production quality. Yes, it looked fine, but that was all you could say about it. We finally got an announcement about the promised S2 recently — and not all fans are happy about it.
A far-off date made fans upset
The second season is going to air in 2025. We don’t even know the exact date — so nothing can be assumed yet. That said, it’s a very distant date anyway — which makes fans wonder why even reveal it in the first place.
Of course, some updates are better than no update, and fans are glad to see the series still being worked on. We even got a key visual for the second season. However, there are still a lot of concerns about this update, and not just because the anime won’t air until next year.
Concerns about the animation
The second season of the anime is being produced by studio Teddy — and it seems to be the first major work for them. This, along with the fact that the cast is returning but most of the staff isn’t, has fans very worried. Changes like that might indicate the anime being stuck in production hell and having significant downgrades in animation.
It’s not like the original looked especially good in the first place. Visually, it was just fine. A new studio working on the series doesn’t give fans much hope. Even the character designs feel different, although very slightly so.
Too little information
The main selling point of Slime 300 is definitely its slice-of-life moments. As long as the studio behind Season 2 doesn’t completely mess up that part, if the visuals are at least passable, it’d be just as good as Season 1.
With no concrete date in sight and no information other than the main staff and the key visual, it’s hard to speculate on, though. Perhaps fans should wait for a trailer before drawing conclusions.
