Yaay more of the super overpowered schoolboy whose power system I've never understood but still enjoy it nevertheless.

The wincest argument aside, I just don't like how intellectual this series tries to make itself look like. But that's the selling point I guess.

Though hope this third season won't be as sleep inducing as the second one was.

To be honest, I am as invested in this series as Tatsuya is an interesting character, but since 8bit adaptation was huge upgrade in comparison to Madhouse version and they are hyping it up, I guess I'll check it out.

Few people know that this LN goes so far with genre tropes and chuunibyo pandering that even the editor of the original work finds it surreal that it became a hit.

I wonder if it will adapt up to the Steeplechase Arc. Been anticipating a new season for awhile now.

Finally , I've been waiting for this news for a long time . I hope it would be two cours .

” Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” [Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms tax as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” That is Jesus, the son of Mary—the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. [Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” [Holy Quran : Chapter Maryam (Mary) : 23-36]

Was literally just thinking about this anime and listening to Rising Hope again the other day. Ironic.

I'm not sure how to feel tbh since for me the only really good season was the first one, and everything after that was average or plain bad...I really want another good season out of this series cause I do really like it but the past few seasons and side series haven't been up to snuff for me.

But after all, this will be the third season and the anime already has a spin-off, a prequel OVA and a movie. Why are you so surprised by this?

I'm a bit late but anyway. S1 was, all things considered, reasonably good. Movie was really meh, just a filler movie with some fanservice and what not. Visitor arc was, again, its a mixed bag.

I read the novels and IMO, starting around visitor arc and especially afterwards the quality starts to nosedive, and I dunno if introducing EVEN MORE characters is going to solve that, the cast is already gigantic as is.

Mind you, the series, does have some of its own redeeming qualities, but it has a lot of flaws too. That being said, hopefully they can do a good/better job this time.

It's a strange feeling that given how many years its been since s1. I wont say that its amazing or anything, but like I said, it does have some good points if you overlook like, all the bad stuff, so you could potentially recommend it to other people, and/or rewatch it from time to time just to watch the good stuff. Although really its just padding for other stuff.

And I wont even talk about the spinoff, it was somewhat ok, but soo boring since its basically a rehash of the original story from a different angle.

I thought the original anime was okay. Going to need to catch up on the 2nd season and the movie, but I'm definitely planning on checking this one out.
