Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon has one of the strangest titles in the anime world, but it's found success with a number of anime fans. Focusing on the adventures of young adventurer Bell Cranel, the series ended its fourth season earlier this year. Coming to a close by introducing a major cliffhanger, fans will be relieved to hear that a fifth season has been confirmed as a part of a celebration for the tenth anniversary of the franchise. 

A fifth season of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? has been announced as one of the light novel series’ 10th-anniversary projects. A teaser visual and trailer for the anime sequel were also released.

The anime series shared a new teaser trailer to confirm that a fifth season was on the way. Running with the caption, "I want my wish to come true", the anime hasn't revealed when we can expect the next season to arrive as of yet. Should the anime adaptation return in 2024, it will be one of the biggest returns of next year in the anime world. The light novels, written by Fujino Oomori and illustrated by Suzuhito Yamada, started publication in January 2013 under SB Creative’s GA Bunko label.

Since the second season, the anime series has been directed by Hideki Tachibana. Shigeki Kimoto is the character designer, while the series composition is handled by Hideki Shirane (with Oomori joining for the fourth season).

Some of the notable cast members include Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Bell Cranel, Inori Minase as Hestia, Saori Oonishi as Ais Wallenstein, and Saori Hayami as Ryu Lion.

The Danmachi light novel series spans 19 volumes as of September 2023. Beyond the main light novels and anime series, there are light novel spin-offs, various manga, and an anime movie. One of the spin-offs, Sword Oratoria, received its own anime TV series in 2017.

Yen Press describes the first volume as:

In Orario, fearless adventurers band together in search of fame and fortune within the monstrous underground labyrinth known as Dungeon. But while riches and renown are incentive enough for most, Bell Cranel, would-be hero extraordinaire, has bigger plans. He wants to pick up girls. Is it wrong to face the perils of Dungeon alone, in a single-member guild blessed by a failed goddess? Maybe. Is it wrong to dream of playing hero to hapless maidens in Dungeon? Maybe not. After one misguided adventure, Bell quickly discovers that anything can happen in the labyrinth–even chance encounters with beautiful women. The only problem? He’s the one who winds up the damsel in distress!
