The long-awaited I Parry Everything Season 2 anime is finally on the way, bringing back Noor and his parry-filled adventures. Season 1 aired in 2024 and quickly became a mix of wholesome comedy and over-the-top action that sparked both love and frustration among viewers. Now with the official announcement at the Earth Star Novels 10th Anniversary Summer Festival, fans know that this unique fantasy series still has more to offer.
The Return of Noor in Season 2
Season 2 of I Parry Everything: What Do You Mean I'm the Strongest? I'm Not Even an Adventurer Yet!" has been greenlit for production. Studio OLM, the same studio that worked on the first season, is expected to return, with much of the original team still involved. Director Fukuyama Hiroshi is back, Murakoshi Shigeru handling series composition and character designer Noma Chikako. The music team, BeauDamian and Saiki Tatsuhiko, also remain, meaning the show’s familiar energy will continue.
Season 1 aired from July to September 2024 and is available for streaming on Netflix, where it is still available in both sub and dub. If you haven’t caught up yet, you can easily jump into the story before Season 2 arrives. The production team hasn’t revealed an exact release date, but given the momentum, it’s clear the new season will not be far away.
What Happened in Season 1
Season 1 introduced viewers to Noor, a young man deemed talentless who trained for over a decade in isolation, mastering only the skill of parrying. What started as a supposedly useless ability quickly turned into something world-breaking. Noor could parry anything - swords, monsters, even entire armies - yet remained hilariously unaware of his strength.
The series mixed wholesome comedy with action. One memorable moment had Noor treating a terrifying Goblin Emperor like an everyday weak goblin, only to parry it into oblivion. Another had him mistake a minotaur for an ordinary cow. His misunderstanding of the world, fueled by childhood books and naivety, became both the running joke and the heart of the show.
Season 1 ended with Noor saving Princess Lynneburg, unknowingly pulling himself into conflicts that could reshape the Kingdom of Clays. The new season promises to explore these larger storylines while keeping Noor’s clueless charm intact.

How Fans Feel About the Series
Reactions to I Parry Everything have always been divided, which is part of why the announcement of a second season surprised many. Some found Noor’s dense personality frustrating, wishing he would realize how powerful he really is. Others thought that was exactly the point and loved watching how far the joke could go.
One popular sentiment is that the anime offers “wholesome, dumb fun.” Viewers enjoyed seeing how absurd Noor’s parry skills could get, from deflecting monsters to even stopping attacks on the scale of trains or railguns. Others compared the show to titles like Country Bumpkin to Swordmaster and Ossan Newbie, saying each series offered different spins on the oblivious or underestimated adventurer trope.
For many fans, Noor’s constant misunderstandings were laugh-out-loud moments. As one described it, every episode brought excitement just to see “how stupid he could get and what mental gymnastics he would use to avoid figuring out the truth.”
What To Expect in Season 2
Season 2 is set to expand Noor’s journey, moving beyond small-town jobs into larger conflicts surrounding the Kingdom of Clays. With assassination attempts on Princess Lynneburg and neighboring countries eyeing the kingdom, the stakes are higher than ever. Noor, of course, remains completely unaware of the political tension, still focused on his dream of becoming an adventurer. As Noor himself puts it,
“Even if I can't become the adventurer hero... I want to at least be able to protect the frightened girl in front of me!” – Noor
For those who worried the one-joke premise might grow stale, the light novel material suggests upcoming arcs will introduce more characters and expand worldbuilding. This means there will be new dynamics, more action, and yes - plenty of absurd parrying moments.
If you enjoyed the balance of comedy and heart in Season 1, Season 2 looks set to deliver more of the same, with just enough fresh developments to keep things interesting.
The Voice Cast and Production Team
The voice cast from Season 1 is expected to return, including:
- Daiki Hamano as Noor
- Ryoko Maekawa as Lynneburg Clays
- Nanako Mori as Ines
- Ayumu Murase as Rolo
- Junta Terashima as Rein Clays
- Shinichiro Miki as Sig
- And more familiar names rounding out the ensemble
At the 10th Anniversary Summer Festival, the cast even appeared on stage, engaging the audience with quizzes and games. This celebratory atmosphere highlighted just how popular the show has become, especially in Japan, where it has been well received.
Why This Anime Stands Out
What makes I Parry Everything different is its commitment to a single bit: Noor parries everything and never understands how strong he is. For some, that’s frustrating, but for many others, that’s exactly why the show works. Instead of another standard overpowered hero story, it thrives on misunderstanding comedy, mixing action with oblivious charm.
It’s the type of anime that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is why many fans describe it as comfort viewing. At the same time, its animation had moments of surprising quality, with Noor’s parry scenes often stealing the spotlight.
If you’re into other action-fantasy anime like Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 or The Eminence in Shadow: Season 3, this show fits right in while offering something a little sillier.
Where To Watch
Season 1 is currently available on Netflix. With Season 2 confirmed, it’s safe to expect it will stream on Netflix again when it premieres. While fans wait for an official release date, catching up on the first season is the best way to prepare.
You can also explore the manga adaptation, published in Comic Earth Star, and the light novel licensed in English by J-Novel Club.
Final Thoughts
The announcement of I Parry Everything Season 2 proves that the series has more to offer and continues to attract a loyal following. While not every viewer loved its one-note premise, many embraced the absurd comedy and wholesome charm of Noor’s clueless strength.
With the same production team returning, expanded worldbuilding, and plenty of fresh parries on the way, Season 2 looks set to keep audiences entertained. Whether you laughed at Noor’s misunderstandings or rolled your eyes at his density, there’s no denying this anime has found its place in the fantasy lineup.
So, gear up and get ready - Noor is back, and he’s still going to parry everything.
