"The little ninja that changed the world finally comes to Blu-ray! Journey back to a simpler time when Naruto was a little scamp pulling pranks and defacing monuments. A social outcast with the dreaded Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit locked inside of him, Naruto's infectious optimism and never-give-up attitude propels him towards the path of greatness. Relive the outrageous beginnings of a generation of ninja that would go on to become legends."
Crunchyroll will release Season 2 of Goblin Slayer on both Blu-ray (pictured) and DVD. The Blu-ray edition will contain five art cards and a sticker sheet.

"Goblin Slayer's exploits have earned him respect - but also a lot more responsibility. Through helping his friends, training the next generation, attending a wedding, and plenty of goblin slaying (of course), he'll begin to regain his humanity."
