As we stated very recently, it is quite common for a franchise to announce its continuation right at the end of the last chapter of its previous season. And that is exactly what happened:
After the airing of the final episode, the production of a third season for the anime adaptation of the light novels “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation” was confirmed. The announcement did not reveal a scheduled premiere date, but, as far as we know, Studio Bind continues to be in charge of the production.
The anime adaptation by Studio Bind has released a total of two seasons (each divided into two parts) which so far total forty-eight episodes. According to previous statements, it is understood that the studio in question will be in charge of adapting the work in its entirety, although it will also take on other intermediate projects. For his part, Rifujin na Magonote began publishing the light novels with illustrations by Sirotaka in January 2014 through the MF Books editorial label of Kadokawa, and finished it in November 2022. The manga adaptation by Yuka Fujikawa has been published since May 2014.
Production Team
- Hiroki Hirano (assistant director of the first season) took over the direction of the second season at Studio Bind, replacing Manabu Okamoto.
- Toshiya Oono (86: Eighty Six, The Promised Neverland, Land of the Lustrous) took over the writing and supervision of the scripts, also replacing Manabu Okamoto.
- Sanae Shimada (World Conquest Zvezda Plot) was in charge of character design and animation direction, replacing Kazutaka Sugiyama and Yoshiko Saitou.
- Yoshiaki Fujisawa (Land of the Lustrous, Isekai Cheat Magician, Love Live! School Idol Project) was responsible for the soundtrack composition.
Synopsis of “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation”
As his relationship with Eris Boreas Greyrat reaches new heights, Rudeus Greyrat is ecstatic. Unfortunately, his joy is short-lived, as Eris suddenly leaves him to embark on her own journey. Believing that Eris has lost all interest in him, a heartbroken and depressed Rudeus heads to the Northern Territories. With the sole goal of locating his mother on the vast continent, Rudeus wonders whether it’s worth persisting in everyday life, falling into a robotic routine as he endlessly ruminates over his lost love.
However, the dangers of the North soon prove that one cannot survive with a numbed mind. During a quest with the Counter Arrow group, which he has recently become acquainted with, Rudeus has a near-death encounter, an experience that forces him out of his despair. With his new teammates, Rudeus rediscovers the joy of daily adventure and moves forward with his original goal of making the most of his second chance at life.
