| The return of novelist Ryo Shirakome's Arifureta for yet another season in almost 3 years, we're going back with the continuation of Volume 7 of the LN and beyond. At this point, you can count the anime to adapt the LN to completion since we're already halfway through the adaptation. VOID_Chords is back with MindaRyn for the OP, and it's at least decent, while not matching Season 1 by any standpoint. Doberman Infinity's K-Pop inspired ED is minimalistic, but is otherwise the same feelings as the OP. Yue's recap of the happenings within Season 2 was a good minute and 2 for remembrance to get up to speed, as Hajime and the gang head towards another of the Great Labyrinth on their airship Fenrir, but making a stop to the Hoelscher Empire to leave Lilliana there to negotiate an alliance with the Emperor. That is only but the work of the surviving classmates of Kouki, Kaori and the others, and along the way to see both Lana and Mira being hunted down on purpose against the Empire's imperials, people that Shea and Hajime know all too well because of their training on the rabbit beastmen. Of course, finding the Haulias Tribe once again to greet their fervent boss, and make new nicknames for themselves, they sure are having a rather useless argument arguing over the "edgelord" that is Hajime. The Haulias Tribe filling Hajime and the gang in on the happenings thus far, and it's more than just a simple kidnapping of beastmen enough to make haste towards the Empire over the Great Labyrinth, putting Shea under immense pressure for Hajime to reassure her over the worries of her father and the others, captured in the Empire. Once again, Hajime's off to yet another quest, and how reckless will he be this time. |

| Two years later and animation isn't looking any better nor different lmao. OP is enough to show you that. Song is sadly good though. Anyways, start off with a mini recap of everything in season one and two in a very unqiue way, with best girl Yue's narration. Kinda did forget that the princess was still with them, along with this annoying ass prick, I mean, Kouki. Kouki out of the way, yeah, it looks like this season is gonna be heavily focused on Shea and her clan or whatever. And yep, they couldn't even bother putting any effort into at least the first fight scene of the season.... sigh. Did kinda forget about the fact as well that Hajime told the bunnies or whatever to get stronger so that they can join Hajime soon enough. Though, we know who best bunny is. Glad that the studio at least knows what we're all here for( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)  Royals are as annoying as they always have been in this show, this time around, with them capturing the chief. Meanwhile, Shea over here tryin be modest and not get in the way of Hajime's goal of getting to the labyrinth's or whatever. You've been with him for damn near two seasons now, I think you know he rolls lmao. He'll make a quick pitstop to help your family out, no need to be modest about the whole thing. Would hope they don't rush anything, but I also hope that this quest dosen't take the whole sixteen episode season to complete. Banger ED btw, in more ways than one( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| @IzanaSolos Well keeping art consistency is generally a good thing, as opposed to what happened to like highschool dxd which should have continued with the character art design from the first few seasons instead of changing to a moe-blob-like art even if the new character art is more faithful to the source (yes I know it was due to studio change). |

| As always void chords saving this anime again lol you can haear the full version on music streaming site |
 |
| Back again to torture myself with yet another season of this edgy clown. Opening recap is very welcome given that it's been two and a half years since the last one. Apparently Nagumo's quest is now to team up with the Crimson Demons rabbit people and save The Blue Thing's dad from The Empire. Some decent eye candy here, but that's about it. |

| Hot bunnies are back and they became chuuni. Watching them had me rolling. Nice recap of last season from Yue. Good to have the bunnies around, will be fun. Also whats up with the ED visuals this seaon lol. Not that I'm complaining, was great. |
 |
| That's the Arifureta that I love ❤️ Couldn't hold my laughter for half the episode, especially with the killer bunnies and everyone talking about Hajime being a chuunibyou/edgelord. |
    |
| "It's a secret" Not from us, Yue. "Ow! My butt! My butt" A very different meaning when Suzu Taniguchi says that, rather than Tio. Hajime blast from outa the blue to splatter a goon Hajime always looks to Yue to get a nod of permission. Looks like we get 16 episodes this season. |

| @IzanaSolos The Fan Service is rolled into that ending even more than Moonlight was. Holy Cow, almost DXD level. Well, I'm not complaining, it's not in the story like that, except for the Bunnies up there. LOL |
| Yeahh this is gonna be good.i love the bunny girl |
| Peak trash is finally here. So is best girl, loli vampire. OP is good enough but not as good as 1st szn. ED is pure junkyard garbage wtf was that..I am not complaining though. Yue flashback was a good touch. Not a lot happened. Hajime still casually sexual harrassing every women. Haulia tribes nicknames were hilarious. Edgelord influence off the charts. This season will be Shea focused from looks of it. Expected her to do something lude but it was actually kinda nice scene at the end. She will cook for sure. |

| Damn, those bunnies are hot lol |
| Seem so weird to have this back man I remember watching season 1 before class when I was in grad school and it’s still going 😭 I’ll give it a try, they can’t possibly butcher the books worse than season 1 and season 2 was an improvement iirc Very relevant for this arc to drop with Metaphor going strong in the gaming world rn lol. Discrimination in fantasy worlds seems to be the topic of the day. The horrible treatment the beastmen have endured really gets my blood boiling. But I’m glad Hajime was able to teach them to defend themselves.. that is until the empire started kidnapping instead of destroying. I haven’t read this far in the books yet(haven’t read since 2019) but I can already tell the pacing is much better, production values look better and the overall arc looks like it’ll be one of the best Always good to have shea focus so I’m hype. |

| Overall, I feel this was a pretty decent start. Glad it gave us a little bit of past catching up, even though for whatever reason, I seem to remember most of what's happened in this show for whatever reason! 😅 |
 |
| Alight,another season of one of my favorite anime. I am excited for this ride. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| A lot of chuuni jokes in this episode. I dont blame Nagumo's classmates for thinking that he had eight grader syndrome with those eye patches. And wtf are those d&d nicknames lmao. My 10 y/o nephew can come up with better d&d nicknames than that cringey ahh shit!!! |
| It was an ok first ep and I'm down for the bunny girl focus. Both the OP and ED songs are solid. First 2 seasons of this were a guilty pleasure trash show for me. Usually shows like this run out of steam quickly with multiple seasons so I hope we continue to get more ruthless Hajime to keep it entertaining. |
 |
Oh my god, for just the bunny girls with their beautiful abs, I'm ready to give it a 10. |

Would hope they don't rush anything, but I also hope that this quest dosen't take the whole sixteen episode season to complete. Banger ED btw, in more ways than one( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) At this point in time there’s a very clear line between Yue and the other girls, which Shea is more acutely aware of than anyone. Hajime still sees them as precious, but he hasn’t had to deliberately go out his way for them to the same degree as what Shea is asking of him now. The only other person Hajime has thus far gone furthest for is Myuu (and maybe Aiko, but they had a past already), because saving her and cleaning up Furen had quite literally nothing to do with his goal of finding a way back to earth through the Age of Gods magic hidden in the Liberators’ labyrinths Hajime’s mom later also put it roughly like this: Shea didn’t get where she is now by constantly begging for Yue and Hajime to help her. She fought tooth and nail along with them on their quest to become stronger. Shea understands better than anyone that they only truly became comrades because she learned to rely on herself. “She’s like the sun that settled next to the moon and the midnight sky” Shea is currently still strongly holding herself to that mentality because she doesn’t want to be a bother to Hajime now that she’s fully come to terms with her feelings towards him |
| Arifureta is back, and I missed Hajime and his waifus. While it's not the best isekai out there, I've always had a soft spot for this anime. I didn't expect the OP to be a collaboration between the two artists from the previous OPs. It's not bad, but I prefer the one from the first season. It seems like these episodes will focus on Shea and the discrimination and enslavement of demihumans by the empire. I like that because Shea is the second best girl and deserves her development, but Yue is still the first, and Hajime knows that. However, I doubt Shea's family will be in trouble after the training Hajime gave them. A good first episode. |
 |
| Great to have another season of this great anime. I am a bit worried where Liliana is going, that kingdom doesn't seem to be very upstanding. We just have to accept Kouki for who he is, nothing wrong with wanting to help out as many people as possible, unfortunately not everyone can be saved, that is a harsh reality of this world. I like the Edgelord comedy we got multiple times with Shizuku & Suzu. The Haulis did a great job fighting and saving others. To the empire we go. |

| Yep, this episode was as trashy, bloody and ecchi as the Arifureta I remember from the 2 previous seasons. God, I missed this so much! |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |

| @IzanaSolos I do not think you really understand the underlining's of this story. The LN draw more emotions from me, from any other Author, not named Sanderson. The Anime, is suppose to be Fun. Just Enjoy it. That said, the OP does not fit this seasons theme, not a bit, not at all. I loved the OP from 1 and 2, I felt they very much fit the theme. |
| Peak is back boys Hajime out here creating his own Asgard lol. The real question is what will they decide is Boss' nickname? I like "Red Rondo of Death" in English but "White Fang Hurricane" sounds better to me in Japanese. Maybe he'll use his new chuuni powers to come up with one himself? I love the details of both Hajime and Yue paying attention to Shea's reactions noticing how worried she is that she isn't acting as usual and decide to help her out. Definitely gonna be interesting seeing them tangle with the Empire. |
| Censorship is vandalism. |
| LETS GO. Ready for Asread to knock this out of the park. |
| The adventure continues!!! Well, the rabbit-men race and their nicknames are scary! kekeke |
| Ngl, I wouldn't dream of reconsidering the anime after what happened to season 1, but seeing as a full adaptation chances are essentially clinched. I decided to give it one more go and while it's not that bad. It does have a few issues. As for the episode itself, it's alright. "Is Edgelording contagious?" I thought the crew wouldn't be more obvious. Also, Cam having this "all according to plan" face. LOL |
| It's already been a great start of the season. I love it already . Haha :D |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Starting on my personal favorite part of the arifureta LNs, Shea's Arc. If done well this will be amazing imo, though the art doesn't look any different from years ago lol. |
 |
| It did not disappoint 😁 Starting the season with a Bang! 🎆 It's been several years, but it was well worth it to wait for Season 3 |

| @GalacticMagna oh god its so much worse then according to plan.... jesus i hope they do a good job, because that scene was my favorite of the volume. Fucking hilarious |
| Pretty good start, Hajime did a big upgrade with the flying fortress. lol I hope we will be spared from horrendous CGI in this season. |
