Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 6 Announced
- A sixth season of the DanMachi anime, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, was announced on Saturday 7 February 2026 at "Aedes Vesta", the franchise's 10th anniversary event; no premiere date, studio or cast was given[1][2][3][4]
- Season 6 adapts volume 21 of Fujino Omori's light novels, illustrated by Suzuhito Yasuda: Bell Cranel learns the Loki Familia has been wiped out after a failed expedition, leaving Aiz Wallenstein and their friends trapped on the dungeon's 60th floor[4]
- MyAnimeList lists it as "Not yet aired" with episodes unknown and no studio, and gives its prequel as season V (Houjou no Megami-hen); an announcement video is attached to the entry[1]
- Season 5 premiered on Tokyo MX, BS11 and ABEMA at 24:30 on 4 October 2024 - the late-night slot Wikipedia and CBR both date as 5 October - and on AT-X on 7 October, streaming on HIDIVE in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand[2][3][4]
- That season ran 15 episodes and was interrupted: J.C.Staff paused it after episode 11 over production problems, and HIDIVE streamed episodes 12 and 13 on 7 February 2025, episode 14 on 26 February and episode 15 on 5 March, CBR putting the run's end at 7 March 2025[2][4]
- Chief producer Nobuhiro Osawa told CBR that "usually staff tend to get tired of long-standing series like this, but our staff haven't gotten tired of this", and that season 4 had to grow to 22 episodes because the later novels held far more material than the early ones[4]
- Every season so far is J.C.Staff's, from season 1 in April 2015 through season 5, plus three OVAs and the 2019 film Arrow of the Orion - 74 episodes before this one[3]
- Omori's main series stands at 21 volumes and the Sword Oratoria spinoff at 16, with over 20 million franchise copies in circulation[2][3]
- The series streams on Crunchyroll, HIDIVE and Hulu, and Sentai Filmworks holds the North American licence[3][4]
