Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 3

En route to conquer a Great Labyrinth with his allies and former classmates, Hajime Nagumo is sidetracked by a tragedy that befalls his party member Shea Haulia. After encountering a group of rabbitmen caught in an ambush, Nagumo learns that members of Shea's Haulia Tribe have been abducted by soldiers of the Hoelscher Empire. To alleviate the anxiety of Shea, whose father may be in mortal danger, Nagumo decides to head toward the empire and rescue the missing Haulias.

After arriving at his destination, Hajime is caught up in political turmoil between the empire and the Heiligh Kingdom. As princess Liliana S. B. Heiligh tries to formalize an alliance with the empire to protect her weakened kingdom against demon attacks, the Haulia Tribe plans to assassinate Emperor Gahard D. Hoelscher to free all rabbitmen from the empire's threat. Determined to protect his allies at any cost, Hajime will need to ignore all political considerations and unleash his unstoppable power on anyone who may stand in his way.

I'm so happy my favorite anime is getting a third season!

For the third season, it continues the MC's journey, and most importantly, it doesn't beat around the bush.
There are quite a few anime that get a second or third season, but don't make good use of it, instead adding filler or unimportant stories.

I like the Graphic Quality, there are no shortcomings from previous seasons.
Maybe the only drawback is in the action part, honestly from the first season, this anime doesn't show epic fights, mostly just ordinary fights and less than perfect CGI, for example, like the snake in the previous season which was too stiff.

The ... reason I like this anime is because the MC's nature is not naive, always sticks to his own definition, doesn't hesitate between helping or killing, there's not much drama.

I hope this anime will have a 4th season soon, considering that this anime is still not finished with the Invasion spoiler in the last episode.
I expected more in the Action part, maybe that's all, I'm looking forward to season 4 guys!

Mixed Feelings

This season was kinda disappointing. Coming from Season 1 — which I think was easily the strongest of the three — this latest season felt like a big step down. If I had to rank them, this one would be at the bottom. As someone who’s read ahead in the manga, it felt like the anime dragged out scenes unnecessarily, with a whole lot of nothing happening for 23 minutes straight. Episodes felt more like setup than actual progression, and that really killed the momentum.

Story-wise, it wasn’t anything new or particularly engaging. A lot of it felt predictable, and not in a comforting or fun ... way. I usually enjoy slow-burn plots or quieter, introspective arcs, but this just felt like filler. There wasn’t enough tension or emotional payoff to make the slower pace worth it.

The characters also didn’t help. Some of the development from previous seasons seemed to stall here. Characters who once had depth and internal conflict either felt flat or were sidelined completely. A few new characters were introduced, but they didn’t bring much to the table — more like placeholders than meaningful additions. It also didn't help that the reactions to major events often felt either overblown or totally underwhelming, making it hard to stay emotionally invested.

The art style remained consistent, and while it fits the overall tone of the series, it didn’t do anything particularly impressive this season. The animation quality was okay, but there were definitely moments that felt static or cheaply produced, especially during slower dialogue scenes.

I think some people might still enjoy this season if they’re really into the world or just want to see how everything unfolds, but for me — especially having read the manga — it felt like a season you could almost skip and not miss much. Hopefully, the next season picks up the pace and brings back the intensity and character depth that made the earlier seasons so good.

I'm going to do my darned best not to spoil anything in this review. This isn't a terribly daunting task as there's hardly anything to spoil during the entirety of S3.

To attempt to watch S3 without having seen S1 and S2 is pointless. Don't even bother. S3 doesn't even really have its own story arc; it's more like a single episode of story content excruciatingly drawn out over an entire season.

So what does S3 deliver instead of a story? Relationship checks. Yup, that's it. It's one relationship check after the next after the next and the whole season is like that start to finish, with ... barely anything else going on at all. Technically they're continuing their adventure, but the adventure itself is essentially an afterthought to these relentless relationship checks.

The problem is that Arifureta before S3 is adventure first, harem second. After two seasons of baiting this, S3 turns hard into a harem only. You could be forgiven for forgetting the context entirely, it's that lightly covered in S3.

Personally, I would doubt that people are watching this show primarily for the harem, which is nothing special, even below average. The reason to watch Arifureta is that it is a very well done isekai power fantasy. Or was; S3 ends this appeal, there is never any sense of danger at all, no foe or challenge that isn't easily overcome.

Despite S3 clearly having a much larger budget than what produced the hilariously so-bad-it's-good CGI of the first season, it's a far less interesting use of time. With S3, Arifureta joins the unfortunately large number of solid shows that were turned into mailing-it-in cash grabs that don't satisfy. I will probably watch S4 with the same skeptical not expecting much out of this series anymore feeling that I hit after Shield Hero S2.
