Hey, anime fans! Get ready to dive back into the wild world of Orario with Danmachi Season 5, also known as Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V. This action-packed fantasy series has been a fan favorite since it first hit screens in 2015, and now it’s back with a thrilling new chapter. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest season—release dates, plot twists, and more!

The Big Return: When and Where

Danmachi Season 5 kicked off on October 5, 2024, after an early streaming premiere on ABEMA Premium on October 3, 2024, at 10:00 PM JST. The season started strong, airing weekly on Tokyo MX, BS11, and ABEMA in Japan, with episodes dropping every Saturday at 12:30 AM JST. For fans outside Japan, HIDIVE has you covered, streaming episodes as they release, with additional platforms like Bilibili Global and Aniplus TV in select regions. Originally planned for 15 episodes, the season hit a snag with production issues, delaying episodes 12 and beyond. Good news, though—the wait’s almost over! Episodes 12 and 13 land on February 7, 2025, episode 14 hits February 24, 2025, and the finale, episode 15, wraps things up on March 5, 2025. Mark your calendars!

The Story: Goddess of Fertility Arc

This season dives into the “Goddess of Fertility Arc,” adapting volumes 16 to 18 of Fujino Omori’s light novel series, with cool art by Suzuhito Yasuda. Our hero, Bell Cranel, is back after surviving the dungeon’s depths and is ready to enjoy Orario’s lively Goddess Festival. But things get messy fast! A love letter from Syr Flova, a sweet girl from a local bar, invites Bell on a date to the festival. Sounds cute, right? Not so fast—Syr’s true feelings and identity tie into Goddess Freya’s obsession with Bell, and her powerful Freya Familia is ready to shake things up. As Freya tries to claim Bell, tensions boil over, pushing the Hestia Familia and others into a massive War Game against Freya’s crew. It’s a wild mix of romance, chaos, and epic battles in the labyrinth city!

The Cast and Crew

The voice talent brings the story to life. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka stars as Bell Cranel, the scrappy adventurer, with Inori Minase as the lovable goddess Hestia. Shizuka Ishigami voices Syr Flova, while Yoko Hikasa delivers the intense Goddess Freya. Newcomers Ikumi Hasegawa as Heith Velvet and Gen Sato as Van join the lineup, alongside faves like Saori Onishi as Ais Wallenstein and Saori Hayami as Ryu. J.C. Staff handles the animation, with Hideki Tachibana directing, Fujino Omori and Hideki Shirane writing scripts, and Keiji Inai composing the music. The opening theme, “Shōnen” by Gre4n Boyz, and ending, “Hydrate” by Sajou no Hana, set the perfect vibe.

Bumps in the Road

The season hasn’t been without hiccups. Production challenges delayed episode 9 from November 29 to December 6, 2024, and episode 12, originally set for December 27, 2024, got pushed back indefinitely. The team apologized, promising to keep up the show’s high quality. To keep fans hyped during the break, they aired a special “Goddess of the Harvest Arc Cast Gathering Party” on December 27, 2024, and reran episodes on ABEMA. The wait paid off, with the “Faction War Climax” now locked in for February and March 2025, promising intense showdowns between Bell, Hestia, and Freya’s forces.

Why It’s Worth Watching

Danmachi Season 5 blends heart-pounding action with quirky romance and deep bonds. Bell’s struggle to stay loyal to Hestia while facing Freya’s charm—and her familia’s might—keeps you on edge. The festival setting adds fun, but the stakes are sky-high as Orario teeters on chaos. Fans love the series for its mix of dungeon-crawling thrills and Bell’s awkward, heroic charm. With 20 light novel volumes out by December 15, 2024, and the story nearing its final arc in volume 21, this season sets the stage for big things—maybe even a Season 6!

Final Thoughts

Danmachi Season 5 is a must-watch for fans of adventure, fantasy, and a sprinkle of love drama. After a rocky road, the climax is coming in early 2025, and it’s shaping up to be epic.
