The second season of the anime By the Grace of the Gods (or Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko in the original Japanese) is almost here! Ahead of its January 8 debut, a trailer has dropped where you can hear the opening theme song “Way to go” being performed by MindaRyn.
You don’t hear it in the trailer, but the ending theme song is “Drum-Shiki Tansaki” (translated as “Drum-Ceremony Probe”) and is performed by Azusa Tadokoro.
We have also learned some more about the cast: Yuiko Tatsumi plays Miyabi, Makoto Yasumura plays Serge, Junya Enoki plays Dorche, Risa Kubota plays Carla, Sakura Nakamura plays Calum, Hiro Shimono plays Tony, Kenichi Suzumura plays Pioro, Daisuke Hirakawa plays Prenance, Tetsu Inada plays Worgan, Nobuyuki Hiyama plays Tekun, Takuya Eguchi plays Fernobelia, Akira Ishida plays Caulkin, and Manami Numakura plays Robelia.
Yuka Yamada of Slow Loop and Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid has been placed in charge of series scripts.
The original light novels are published in English by J-Novel club, which gave this description for the plot:
“Under the protection of the gods, a relaxed life with slimes in another world begins!
One day, the life of middle-aged Japanese businessman Ryoma Takebayashi came to a rather sudden and disappointing end. Ryoma had never had a blessed life, but after his death, three great gods sought his cooperation and reincarnated him as a child in another world with swords and magic!
Receiving a most cordial and divine welcome from the gods, Ryoma decides to live leisurely on his own in the forest for the time being. Working diligently at magic and hunting, Ryoma’s greatest passion comes to be researching his tamed slimes?! Training a variety of slimes (some newly discovered), the curtain rises on this easygoing life fantasy celebrating a second life with kind people in another world!”
