Whoa, Sharon is here.

This show is back and honestly feels pretty much very similar to the previous seasons so far. The Duke also makes his reappearance and doesn't seem to have changed much. Alice is back too and I'm glad to see her reunite with her mom. It's an episode that really shows what this anime is about again with these character personalities.

Mangaka Koharu Inoue's series is back for Season 3 from last Summer, and the road to cure Bocchan of his curse continues.

Nasuo☆ helms the OP this time, and it's..quite different, with more or less the same visual cues from Season 2.


Bocchan and the gang are in the Witch's World, and already, Zain is suffering because Cuff's near-kiss is stolen from Sarah licking her, as the lessons continue. The child-like song is just like Iruma-kun, not gonna lie. Cuff is growing stronger, Zain is just getting toyed at, and Daleth just keeps thinking of wanting to become human so that she can progress her relationship with Walter.

Sade and Keto going back to the Underworld, while Daleth heads back to the mansion to tend to Sharon, she's back in full health, wanting to know from Rob about Bocchan and Alice, as their 10-day short-term training program wraps up at the magical wizardry school. Nico will do his part to help Bocchan as well to convince Sade, so that is going to get resolved one day. With both Bocchan and Alice back in the mansion, the reunion between mother and daughter, as well as catching up with Bocchan's family...it's a lot heartier now. As to her history with his grandfather Victor and Sade, it certainly was a rollercoaster of emotions, including her divorce. Still, if love is to be a thing, both Bocchan and Alice have still got it.

Whew whew, Bocchan's declaration to Sharon that he will take care of Alice, what a BOLD confession.
The final season, hope it finds a good place for its conclusion.

Mangaka Koharu Inoue's Shinigami Bocchan is back after just a brief two-season hiatus from Summer 2023. Possibly for the last season as well.

For once, it isn't Bocchan and Alice singing the OP; it's none other than Nasuo☆ returning from last season's ED, and it's pretty catchy. As for Alice's ED, it's the same as ever, okay.

The gang studying magic at the wizarding school. Caph and Zain, in order to further develop their abilities, were undergoing special training with their teachers and seniors. Meanwhile, Daleth, who obtained the book How Witches Can Become Human, returns to the magical realm to try the method to become human. However, the magical realm had a more relaxed atmosphere than usual, and at its center was Sharon, who had awakened from a long slumber.

Yeah, ngl, I don't remember much from season 2 other than them going to the school or whatever. Anyways, Walter and Daleth will be the couple that reconciles witches with humanity, I'm sure of Kinda sus that Sharon didn't remember that she has a sister (the one who seemed to be abusing Alice). Since one of the students in the academy can control Alice's body, it's safe to assume Sade was controlling Sharon's body. I have a feeling that the carefree, slightly airhead-ish Sharon okaa-san is more than meets the eye. Anyway, I'm REALLY glad that the Academy arc did not overextend; otherwise, it'd be too chaotic. But oh boy, it's kind of disappointing that Sharon won't teach her daughter how to seduce men properly. Dad's a scumbag, unfortunate and fortunate for Alice and Sharon.

It only took a whole three seasons, but Alice and Sharon are finally reunited. Now with her in the mix, things should get more interesting this season.

Season 3 let's go! This will be the final season btw. Really didn't expect a full adaptation. Also it's fun how this airs during the same season as Mushoku Tensei again.

In the OP あなたになら食べられてもいいわ (anata ni nara taberaretemo ii wa) means "I don't mind being eaten by you".
Eyy sudden songs again
Zain deserved that XD
The ship between Daleth and Walter still feels a bit weird, but eh, I can live with it.
No way, that's actually real Sharon. I somehow felt that Sade possessed her body.
14:01 The part about a tree growing made me think of something else lol.

Really like the ED!

Nice first episode. Can't wait to see Bocchan's mom's reaction to Sharon.

They really do have a lot to cover, around 100 chapters, if they are planning to conclude this with the third season itself. But looking back at the pace of those two seasons, they could… I guess.

About Sharon, at one point I used to think there’s some very deep mystery around her, but look, now she’s back just like that lol. Rather typical start nonetheless.

God I missed these loveable idiots. Especially Daleth and her crush on Walter 😂

I didn’t expect the school arc to go by so quickly, but getting that out the way allowed us to have a really nice reunion between Alice and Sharon. After all these years there’s so much to catch up for them, and of course the main topic is Alice and Bocchan’s relationship lol.

You can see where Alice gets her playful personality from, but Sharon is probably even worse than her. Just constantly teasing Alice and Bocchan about their relationship and trying to get them together. She’s only 25 because she was frozen in stasis for a decade so I guess it makes sense.

With this being the final season of a full adaptation, I’m looking forward to learning more about Sade and getting Bocchan’s curse removed. Will be a fun next 3 months.

I feel like I might be misremembering, but didn't we see a portrait of the Duke's grandmother, particularly with someone commenting that Viola takes after her a lot in looks?

And it looks like we'll get more background on Victor and his wife as well

Finally, Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid is back! I missed this show a lot.

So, the 3rd season is going to be the last huh. I don't mind as long as it’s a full adaptation. But I am going to miss this anime a lot after it ends...

It feels so strange to hear the 3rd OP not being a duet of Alice and Bocchan anymore. I think the new OP is good but I think I would've liked it more if they made another duet. Missed opportunity. The ED is good tho.

Hearing Zain get shocked reminds me of Urusei Yatsura because of Hiroshi Kamiya lol.

They didn’t stay in the school very long. I wouldn’t mind seeing more episodes with the characters in school. Would've shaked things up a bit. But it might be better with things going back to normal.

Sharon is awakened! Man, I love her. She's so energetic. It sucks that she won't stick around in the mansion for longer.

Can't wait for the next episode.

@Sondfer Are we sure that was CG? It was easy to tell in the first two seasons that CG was being used but to me, this looked like very well drawn pics made to try and mimic CG but still glaringly looks like its hand drawn. It didn't truly look CG to me... and you're telling me its CG that just looks so good it looks like its hand drawn? I need some proof this is in fact CG. I mean the CG in this series has always been great but not THAT great if this is indeed CG. It looked too much like hand drawn that the entire time I was taken out of the ep and trying to also spot actual CG scenes and i just couldn't say for sure but it looks like hand drawn pics to me.

Yes, SMDE is a CG studio. Plus you can tell by the movement of the characters.

That has to be the shortest academy arc I have ever seen.

Anyways, nice to have this show back for one last season. OP not being sang by Bocchan and Alice is such a letdown tho.

Alice and Bocchan are back!

I really like those wizard school songs lol so cute... like kindergarten songs. Didn't expect that Sharon would wake up from her "death" so cheerfully and without questioning anything lol, the mother-daughter reunion moment was also not so emotional but I was happy to see Alice get her mother back by her side. Sharon also gave her blessing for Bocchan and Alice :3

Am I the only one who was kinda meh about this episode? With how big of a thing Sharon being asleep was, it seems like a very surface layer reunification with everyone. And then Sharon immediately is like, okay I’m going to the other mansion bye. And then Alice is sad but accepts it. I dunno, I get it’s a lighthearted show and all, but the characters and their emotions in this episode seem unrealistically one dimensional.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand-basket?

gonna be interesting to see how things develop with Sharon back, completely forgot that happened at the end of last season
was also nice seeing Daleth again with her big change in personality since the start ahahahahah
and as well I was almost ready for them to drag along the whole school sequence for a fair lot of episodes as it was quite small in the latter end of last season so was really surprised to see that like they literally just got there a little at the start and already graduated halfway through the episode, 5 minutes in and we already have an accompanying song outside of the OP theme 😂

One takeaway from this episode was Sade was already crazy when she introduced herself to Sharon. Daleth was already wearing a mask to hide her scars Sade caused on her.
"Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum.
They should really do their whining at manga forums.

And finally the 3rd and final season is here!!
And I've just started it...I have to catch up NOW.
Well, the guys have graduated from magic school and now all that's left is to face off against Sade.
In the previous season we saw that Sharon woke up, and now she's...calm xd
It was nice that she met Alice again.
She gave information about Viktor, let's see what will happen.
The duke promised to protect Alice, she was ashamed ahhh!!! <3!!!!!
Good chapter, The opening is good and the ending very good.

Sharon is ways more cheery than even Alice, it makes me feel uneasy. Sade is a menace, so I wonder what her plan was in waking Sharon? Strong first episode. I look forward to the rest of the season.

What a wholesome first episode for S3.
I still think putting a magical school arc suddenly like that was a bit meh, but the cast grew a bit more and I liked the new characters, and I appreciate the fact there was no bullshit in this episode and Sharon indeed came back to life and those scenes and the graduation was neat.
Though the beginning of episode 2 left me worried...

I do agree with you, the quick turn around was a bit odd. To be honest, while I wouldn't call it one-dimensional, I've felt like sometimes (in particular between the Duke and Alice) the comedy masks some of the emotions that could be present in this show. I love the comedy and the teasing moments but I also really enjoy the serious moments where we see the characters' inner thoughts or their raw emotions. We got a lot more of those moments in season 2 luckily. And here in this episode, we see Alice full on major blushing...something we've never seen in the past (with how much stuff they do, it's a bit odd but maybe this proclamation in front of her mom was major to her). It was cute and I hope there are more of those moments to come!

All together it was a good episode. I laughed when Daleth had a reaction similar to Walter. Also curious to see how else Sharon will impact the story!

WOAH!

I'm genuinely so goddamn happy when Sharon woke up at the previous episode and that she even gets along with the witches, lol. But the best part of it is when Rob gets so excited to tell Alice about her own mother after years of 'sleeping' literally just appears on the mansion! Seeing Alice hugging her mother and all just makes me happy! I genuinely so excited of Sharon awakening because it will be a shocking news to Alice, Rob and the Duke, and I wanna see their reaction. And the fact that Rob has a bit of company just a day before the Duke and co. came back to the mansion is also a bit of a relief, which actually a bit of my concern after they gone to that wizard school, haha!

The only thing though is how they meet up with Sade alters the future by lifting Sharon's curse makes me a bit worry about Sade's plan. Maybe she's up to something more evil, but let's just see.

Overall, good episode!
