The fourth season of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? wrapped up earlier this year but we all knew that wouldn’t be the end of things. The fifth season was formally announced at an event in November 2023 with the reveal of a promo and new key visual.
Back in March 2024, we learned that the fifth season has been set for a fall 2024 premiere with the subheading of Goddess of the Harvest Arc set for it. With an October 4th, 2024 premiere date, it looks like things are changing for the broadcast schedule. The twelfth episode was set for a December 27th, 2024 release originally but now it and the remaining episodes of the fifteen-episode run are now delayed until further notice. A special will will air in its place this week with the cast for an end-of-year party event.

Plot concept: Some adventurers delve into the sprawling labyrinths beneath the city of Orario to find fame and fortune. Others come to test their skills against the legions of monsters lurking in the darkness below. However, Bell Cranel’s grandfather told him a different reason: it’s a great place to rescue (and subsequently meet) girls! Now that Bell’s a dungeon delver himself, the ladies he’s encountering aren’t the helpless damsels in distress he’d imagined, and one of them, the beautiful swordswoman Ais Wallenstein, keeps rescuing Bell instead. As embarrassing as that is, it’s nothing compared to what happens when goddesses get involved. Freya, Hephaistos, and Loki, with their powerful Familias, are intimidating enough, but there’s one goddess whose relationship with Bell is certain to spark trouble.
