The official website for the third season of Ryo Shirakome’s hit light novel series Arifureta – From Commonplace to World’s Strongest has dropped a new promo video, and it’s packed with excitement! The video reveals the season’s October premiere date and gives us a sneak peek at the new opening theme song “Unending Wish” by Void_Chords feat. MindaRyn.
The talented team behind the anime is back for the third season, including:
Akira Iwanaga, the director behind Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee and The Morose Mononokean, is returning to helm the project at asread. Shoichi Sato is back to oversee the series scripts, and Chika Kojima is once again the character designer and chief animation director. Ryō Takahashi is back to compose the music.
The first season premiered in July 2019, and the second season debuted in January 2022. Funimation streamed both seasons with English subtitles and dubbed versions.
Funimation described the story:
Hajime Nagumo and his high school class are suddenly summoned to a fantastical land as heroes. But while most of his classmates have powerful stats and abilities, Hajime does not. Underappreciated and unprepared, he tumbles into the depths of a monster-infested dungeon where voracity and sacrifice are his only options. To thrive in this savage world, he’ll have no choice but to welcome the abyss.
J-Novel Club is publishing Shirakome’s prequel spinoff novel series Arifureta Zero. Seven Seas has been publishing the manga adaptation of the main series in print in English, and it also licensed the Arifureta – From Commonplace to World’s Strongest: Zero and Arifureta: I Love Isekai (Arifureta Nichijou de Sekaisaikyou) spinoff manga.
Shirakome launched the novel series in Japan in June 2015 under the OVERLAP Bunko label, with illustrations by Takayaki, after initially presenting it on the user-submission site Shōsetsu ni Narō.
