        I just saw an announcement that the next season will be released in April 2022.

        Not a big surprise, but it's nice that it's official.

            Still subscribed to Crunchyroll. Looking forward to it. 8-)

            Reading Bookworm, Bibliophile, and Dahlia. Also, Girl Genius, xkcd, Witch Hat, Harpy Gee, and Suitor Armor. Looking for suggestions.

              Oh, same here. :-)

              Actually, my parents (aged 87 and 77) tell me they are looking forward to it, too, though they don't have much interest in anime otherwise. The show seems to have remarkably broad appeal.

                Oh that's just awesome!

                I got my mom to watch Haibane Renmei way back when, but that's the only time I ever managed to get either of my parents to watch anime. I could see her having enjoyed Bookworm though, it really does have that appeal.

                  I suspect my father would have enjoyed the world building, as well as being very interested in the equivalent European cultures.
                  Mom, probably as well; given she wasn't one to read for pleasure I don't have as good a grasp upon her taste in such things. On the other hand, I think she'd have found the characters of interest.

                  They're both long dead, though, these are far too recent for them to have had the opportunity.

                    @b-scot-morgan I had considered sharing sci-fi anime w/ my mother years ago but didn't know how it would go over; but since then I've come to be skeptical of anime (to put it mildly). Plus I don't like dubs and she doesn't like subtitles (and from what I've heard of it, I don't like the Japanese dub of Bookworm either!).

                    ...This is all ironic, because since then I learned she's not dismissive of cartoons at all, and we've watched Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, and What If? together, along with catching up on Disney and Pixar movies :P

                    My talking sword has a point. And is also right.

                      Another split cour perhaps? If just 12 episodes I would imagine up to the end of Volume 2. If it goes back-to-back we could see the first half of Volume 3 and there is a lot of nice material in there (Rozemyne's baptism and everything related to the Ferdinand concerto for a start).

                        I would love to see the Ferdinand concert on screen.

                              So, April... in Japan? Are they simultaneously working on the subs/dubs? How quickly will Crunchyroll be delivering for us? 8-)

                                @arghc subs are almost always simultaneous (Netflix jail being the exception). Dub is a LOT more variable. Sometimes it'll start up during the season, other times it'll be years later.

                                  Given the option, I usually watch subs anyhoo, so that works for me. That said, was there delay between Japan and Crunchyroll on season 2 (one assumes it's different after its popularity was apparent).

                                    Really? I thought I watched it as it came out, and I can't see any difference between the release date on MAL and the dates Crunchyroll has for its episodes.

                                      Oops, missed the question mark. That wasn't a statement.

                                        @axehand They already said Season 3 is going to the end of Part 2 Volume 4. It's only 2 volumes to cover, they can make that in 12 epsiodes, easy. Season 2 covered the first 2 volumes of Part 2 in that many.

                                          @georgemto I mean... that's about what the picture in Fanbook 1 (I believe) looked like. Fairly certain it was FB1.

                                          My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

                                          Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

                                            @thegrimlich yeah that came up on the discord as well. Honestly, I didn't really look overly much at the rough character sketches in the fanbook, they don't interest me that much.
                                            And even comparing them directly, I think the colour and animation make him much uglier than that sketch.
