The second season of the From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman anime is underway. It premiered in Japan on July 8 and began streaming worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on July 9. The season airs on TV Asahi's IMAnimation W block. A 30-second commercial revealed the ending theme song "Mikansei" by the band Blue Encount and a new key visual.
Cast announcements have continued after the premiere. In late June, NBCUniversal Japan revealed four new cast members along with a special action video. In August, a fourth promotional video added Kensho Ono as Warren Flumvelk and Sumire Uesaka as Shueste Flumvelk, filling out the Flumvelk family roles in the adaptation of Shigeru Sagazaki's light novel series.
The light novel source material remains active. A May review roundup from Beneath the Tangles included a capsule take on volume 5 of From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman, alongside other ongoing series. The anime continues the story of retired swordsman Beryl Gardinant being pulled back into action by his former students.
