With its blend of medieval fantasy and heartwarming drama, “The Weakest Tamer Began A Journey To Pick Up Trash” took the anime world by storm, surprising fans with its unexpected success. Now, enthusiasts of the series are eagerly anticipating news of when Season 2 will grace their screens.
“The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash” originated as a web novel penned by Honobonoru500 and brought to life through illustrations by Nama. Its rapid rise in popularity led to its acquisition by TO Books, which began publishing the story as light novels in 2018. In 2019, TO Books expanded the series’ reach by launching a serialized manga adaptation illustrated by Tou Fukino. The tale reached even greater heights when it received an anime adaptation consisting of twelve episodes, concluding its first season on March 29, 2024.
Set in a world where individuals possess unique skills graded with stars, the story centers on a young girl whose sole skill, Taming, garners zero stars, rendering her an outcast in her village. Shunned by her peers, she embarks on a journey, surviving in a perilous world by scavenging trash for resources. It’s during this journey that she encounters a slime named Sora, teetering on the edge of death. Together, the unlikely duo traverses the kingdom, challenging the limitations of the rank system and redefining individuals’ worth.
As fans eagerly await news of a potential Season 2, it’s important to note that it has not yet been officially confirmed. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that a second season won’t materialize. The story of “The Weakest Tamer” continues to unfold, with TO Books publishing new chapters, providing ample material for future anime adaptations.
Typically, production companies opt to test the waters with a single season of a new anime before committing to further installments. This allows them to gauge audience interest and determine if investing in additional seasons is financially viable. Given the positive reception of Season 1 and the ongoing popularity of the series, it’s highly probable that Season 2 will eventually come to fruition.
For now, fans can relish in the adventures of Season 1, available for streaming on Crunchyroll, while eagerly awaiting news of the series’ future.
