Shigeru Sagazaki's light novel series From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman has a third anime season confirmed by the official website on Wednesday, the same day the second season's finale aired. The second season ran 12 episodes, premiered July 8 in Japan, and streams worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.
Shigeru Sagazaki's light novel From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman has moved through two anime seasons and is now confirmed for a third. The official website announced the renewal on the same day the second season's 12th and final episode aired. A new visual and a video message from Hiroaki Hirata, who voices protagonist Beryl Gardenant, accompanied the announcement.
The second season premiered July 8 in the IMAnimation W programming block on TV Asahi and its affiliates, and also airs on AT-X and BS Asahi. Amazon Prime Video began streaming it worldwide on July 9. The staff for the second season includes director Akio Kazumi at Passione and Hayabusa Film, series scripts by Kunihiko Okada, character designer and chief animation director Satsuki Hayasaka, and music by Yasuharu Takanashi. Unicorn performed the opening theme and BLUE ENCOUNT the ending theme. The first season premiered in April 2025.
Coverage of the second season tracked two additions. In August, the fourth promotional video arrived with Kensho Ono as Warren Flumvelk and Sumire Uesaka as Shueste Flumvelk. In September, advance cuts from Episode 12, titled "From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman, Returns Home," revealed the masked mercenary White Maiden as Rose Marbleheart, voiced by Ai Kayano, a former disciple of Beryl who fought him in the first season. The episode aired September 23.
The renewal follows a pattern: the second season was announced right after the first season ended, and each season has been greenlit on the day its predecessor finished airing.
