Bofuri
The first season of ‘Bofuri,’ or ‘BoF + Urui’ as the full title was, came out at the tail-end of 2017 and ran for a total of 11 episodes. The show follows Kakeru Usui and Yuuka Kobayakawa on their adventures throughout their high school years.
It’s About Time, and other “slice-of-life” shows, Bofuri doesn’t have any particular central plot through its run. Instead, it’s an episodic series meant to depict everyday life with all its ups and downs during the two main characters’ tumultuous teenage years.
Release date season 2
Fans of “Bofuri” will be delighted to know that not only has Season 2 been announced, but it is set to release relatively soon. The show’s creators, Silver Link, tied up Season 1’s finale with the news that Season 2 is planned for 2022.
This is a pleasant surprise to say the least. It’s not often that a new anime gets renewed for a second season so quickly. Oftentimes, there’s a period of announcement-free limbo where fans are left to weep in ignorance of their favorite show’s potential return.
Main cast
The main protagonists of Bofuri are Kakeru Usui and Yuuka Kobayakawa, two high school students preparing to enter college. The two become friends after meeting each other at their part-time jobs and begin to grow closer over time.
At first, Yuuka has a crush on him but is too shy to tell him about it, instead preferring to spend time with him as good friends. As time continues on though, she starts falling in love with him soon enough. Also likely expected from any slice of life romance show is that they’ll end up together by the end of the series as such an ending would be considered popular.
However, there are times where the two spend time with their group of friends and even others they encounter along the way. The show features a couple of recurring characters such as Kakeru’s childhood friend and Yuuka’s older sister, Yuriko Kobayakawa, who has feelings for him as well.
Also expect to see some high school rivals here and there as we progress through the series that may end up being put aside eventually or end up sticking around ’til the end. In addition to these regular characters there is also ensemble cast that appear from time to time with their own little quirks and antics, usually at least one per episode.

Production staff
In terms of production staff behind this slice of life show is Silver Link who created the original adaptation. The company has been around for a while and is often considered to be one of the more prolific anime studios that have produced a lot of quality shows over the years. However, at this point in time there isn’t much known about Bofuri Season 2’s production status up to this point. As such, it’s hard to tell if they’re working on continuing Bofuri or not just yet.
Information about season 2
However, one important point to take note of is that Silver Link announced their second season plans midway through COVID-19 back when people couldn’t get enough information on anything involving the anime industry up until around mid-2020. They did release an update at some point stating that things were moving ahead as planned but didn’t say much else since then. However, this is still a good sign that the studio didn’t suffer any major setbacks affecting their production schedule.
Also it’s important to mention that Silver Link has been putting out a lot of new shows recently and they don’t seem to be showing signs of slowing down anytime soon in terms of how many projects they’re taking on at once. Although this doesn’t mean they’ll definitely be producing Bofuri Season 2, it does give them high chances of doing so.
Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense, often shortened to Bofuri, is a popular anime series premiered in 2020. The series follows the adventures of Kaede Honjou, a high school student who decides to try out a new virtual reality game called NewWorld Online. Due to her fear of getting hurt, she chooses to put all her skill points into defense, becoming an almost invincible tank. The show’s first season was well-received by audiences, and many fans eagerly anticipated the release of Bofuri Season 2.
While there is currently no official release date for the second season, rumors suggest that it could come out in late 2021 or early 2022. As they explore the game’s vast world and encounter new challenges, fans can expect more hilarious and action-packed adventures from Kaede and her friends. With its unique premise, charming characters, and stunning animation, Bofuri Season 2 will surely be a hit among anime fans.
When can we expect to see Bofuri Season 2 air?
The only real clue we have up until now is that it will most likely be after COVID-19 ends in 2020 (and likely around June/July 2020 to be safe). This is important to take into consideration since Silver Link does have a big project in the works and won’t want too many distractions while working on it.
This means we can expect Bofuri Season 2 around mid-2020 to be cautious though this doesn’t rule out an earlier time frame if things work well for them during production. Either way, we’ll likely be expecting news about it sometime in 2020.
Broadcast on TV
The original TV anime series is based on Youta Nakamura’s Bofūri (Whirlpool) light novel which was published in 2014 under MF Bunko. The story centers around Kaede who is rarely active and does not have any experience playing RPGs. One day, she is invited to play “Whirlpool,” and ends up joining her classmates and friends to form a guild and explore the world of the game together.
On January 24th, 2018, it was reported by Anime News Network that the main cast will return for Season 2. Producer Haruki Ueno told Anime News Network, “The production team did not expect Bofū to get its second season, so we do not have enough staff members at the moment.”
Broadcast on Netflix
The anime’s first season aired in summer 2017 and was streamed by Netflix. It has 6.5 out of 10 points based on user votes on AniDB. The anime adaptation of Bofuri light novel series was premiered on Japanese television last July. The anime is not the only adaptation of this series, accounting for many different types of media adaptations based on it.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there isn’t much information available about Bofuri Season 2 yet but we’re still waiting on an announcement from Silver Link themselves or any other news that would reveal when they plan to release it all the same. Check back here for more updates as they come.
