 The official website of the Chihayafuru anime series announced on Monday that the third season's broadcast will be delayed to October 2019 due to "various circumstances." The new season was originally scheduled for an April premiere on NTV's AnichU programming block.The production staff issued a statement that they will make a diligent effort to deliver a superior work, apologized for the delay, and thanked the fans for their continued support. Morio Asaka will return to direct the third season at Madhouse. The three lead cast members, Asami Seto, Mamoru Miyano, and Yoshimasa Hosoya will also reprise their roles as Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata, respectively. The first two seasons premiered in Fall 2011 and Winter 2013, each running for 25 episodes. Sentai Filmworks licensed both seasons in North America and released them on Blu-ray and DVD volumes in September 2017 and March 2018. Kodansha's Be-Love magazine has been serializing Yuki Suetsugu's award-winning competitive karuta manga series since December 2007. The 40th volume was published last November, with the 41st volume planned for a March 13 release. Chihayafuru has a cumulative 21 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation. Kodansha Comics licensed the manga in February 2017 for digital release and published the 14th volume on January 8. The 15th volume is scheduled to go on sale on March 5. Source: Anime! Anime! |

| My friend and I were literally just talking about how spring 2019 is going to be great bc of Chihayafuru, but nvm lol |
| First XV and now Chihayafuru 3. Well that makes one less anime for me to watch next season. Oh well. I can wait. I better see some superior work when it comes out then. |
 |
| This high key breaks my heart. I'm anticipating to watch my girl, chihaya and my boy, taichi again after those years! But if it's for the better for the sequel, then I have no choice but to trust their decision! |
| God, no, Really gutted to see this! I was looking forward to this so much, it just made the upcoming Spring Season so much more interesting and somewhat diverse, among the sequels anyhow. But, thankfully it’s not a year long wait or so, so I can accept it or at least hopefully I’ll come to it. Still disappointed though, but I really hope this extra time will allow MadHouse to absolutely blow this out of the park, just like for the previous two glorious Seasons! I’m looking forward to seeing this along with Boku no Hero Academia Season 4 and hopefully both of these will be 2 cours or more too! Chances are high for a 2 cour for both these shows, I know, but you really can’t tell at times until the confirmation has been made y’know. |

| I am officially triggered Welp there goes AotS for Spring out the window.. |
  |
| How sad that a day or so ago I was talking about how I was looking forward to spring purely because of Chihayafuru 3 and Diamond no Ace: Act II, and then this happens... Oh well, if its for the sake of quality then I don’t mind. I’d rather wait longer and have a better show than get it sooner and it be not as good. |

| I managed for these 6 years, I will do 6 months more :< |
| Time to watch the previous seasons. |
 |
Suza said: I managed for these 6 years, I will do 6 months more :< Exactly my thought. I could wait if the quality is not like the more recent adaptations like Date A Live III. |

aot s4 will still air dont worry about it |
| hah, how ironic. i started watching the second season yesterday so i could catch up before the third season was supposed to start in april. xD oh well. let's hope they make next season as good as they can! |
| I have been waiting for 6 years, I can wait a few more months |
 |
| Disappointing, at least spring is still stacked for sequels. As long as season 3 is as good as the last two, it's all good. |
 |
| Well I am acutally watching this animes first season and Im enjoying it to be honest I did'nt thought I would enjoy it but well I do I love the characters Im glad it's getting a third season :) |
MaahHeim said: I have been waiting for 6 years, I can wait a few more months Exactly my thoughts. Well actually I think I only watched it 3 years ago, then I must have waited 3 years only. |
 |
| Unfortunate, but whatever, I can wait, and have more time to watch that second season. |

ClickBaitBuster said: NTV should just fire the current Madhouse president, his bad management lead the studio to a horrible state. Ehehehe the only one that has to be punished is the one who made Redline. The production of that movie dealt devastating financial blows so badly that the President had to bow down to Production committees, which led to ppl leaving and making Mappa and Science and Saru. |
| Oh well, this sort of delay doesn't really bother me. The show is less likely to be rushed, and I would've waited for it to finish airing before watching it anyway, 'cause fuck having to wait a week between each episode. |
 ^Fantasizing about doing this right now. :( |
 |
| This really a bad news. |
Honestly? Nothing short of cancellation (GOD FORBID! Hope i didn't jinx it dfkjdsk) can put a damper on my happiness on this show getting a 3rd season at all. Pushing it back a season is no big deal, especially if it means better quality (s1 & 2 were top notch). I'm already immensely relieved that Madhouse is taking it up with the same old team from cast to director, so I have no complaints. If anything, I hope they deliberate more and consider extending it to 2 x 2 cour seasons like before! *fingers crossed* Mod Edit: Thread Cleaned. All the bating and flaming have been removed. |
