The Chihayafuru Fan Kanshasai event in Awara held on Sunday announced that a third anime season for the Chihayafuru franchise has been greenlit. The anime is planned to broadcast via the AnichU timeslot of Nihon TV in 2019.

Yuki Suetsugu writes and illustrates the competitive karuta manga series, which began its serialization in the second 2008 issue of Kodansha's Be-Love bimonthly josei magazine. Kodansha has published 37 compiled manga volumes, with the most recent shipped on February 13 this year. A four-volume spin-off novel penned by Yui Tokiumi was published between 2012 and 2013 with a manga adaptation, drawn by Oto Tooda, currently serializing. The series won the second Manga Taisho award in 2009 and the 35th Kodansha Manga Award in the shoujo manga category in 2011.

Madhouse animated the series' first two seasons. The first 25-episode season was broadcast in Fall 2011, and was followed by another 25-episode TV anime that aired in Winter 2013. An OVA episode was bundled with the manga's special 22nd volume, released in September 2013.

The first two of three live-action film adaptations of the series were screened in Japanese theaters in 2016, titled Chihayafuru: Kami no Ku and Chihayafuru: Shimo no Ku, respectively. The third and final film, Chihayafuru: Musubi, is scheduled to screen on March 17 this year.

Kodansha Comics USA has been publishing the manga series digitally since February 14, 2017. The ninth digital volume was recently released on Tuesday. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime's first two seasons for North American distribution. The first Blu-ray and DVD volume with English dubs was released in September 2017, and will be followed by the second season listed to ship this year.

The manga has been so amazing over the last 5 years, I cannot believe how dearly I missed the anime and now I am getting it! I am getting it! I am getting this masterpiece again!

2018 is already gonna be awesome with the Hibike! Euphonium movies. To have another one of my favourites scheduled for 2019 is such a wonderful news for me! Best news since the Hibike! news!

I vow to pour all of my passion for CHIHARATA on the treads! Bring it on, 2019!

Although...when in 2019? Please don't air during the Summer. I don't want it to compete with another anime that will potentially air that season. Fall sounds good though given the nature of Chihayafuru and red leaves...

At long last, a planned sequel that I can actually get very excited about. Never thought this would happen, honestly.

I temporarily thought MadHouse was my favorite studio. Not that I think a studio would ever beat KyoAni, but nice try with this news on top of original anime “Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho”. I won’t forget about this MadHouse. I will now proceed to the actual topic.
