So it's pretty much confirmed that season 2 will end with the quarter finals of the Winter Cup. So the question is - when do you think season 3 will start ? My bet is Fall 2014.

Fall 2014 would be a bit early imoi. Even in the manga,
That would take at least 4-5 episodes, possibly even more if they decide to add fillers in.

I predict Fall but not this year, rather in 2015.

next winter or spring 2015 (probably the last one if they make us wait the same amount of time than last time)

I hope it starts towards the beginning of 2015. Dunno how you say that in Northern Hemisphere time, but it'll be Sumer 2015 for me.

Probably 2015. Spring 2015 or maybe Summer 2015. Sales for the second season are going well too, not much lower than the first season so I don't see why not.

Spring 2015 based on the how long it took between first and second. Probably doing it to keep a buffer between the manga/anime. Based on the pacing of the anime, there's enough for another season right. I actually prefer it this way since that means more seasons as long as they don't catch up.

The manga seems to be quickly reaching it's conclusion. I can't see it lasting more than (and this is a stretch) another 20 chapters, assuming it ends when the tournament does. I wonder how many anime seasons there'll need to be to finish adapting the manga (it's hugely popular so there's no reason they wouldn't).

It would be kinda a bit too early for it to be in Fall 2014 but I would love to get a season 3 as soon as possible

I don't care when it comes, I'll wait for an eternity if I must in order to see Rakuzan's matches animated. But I also believe we'll see s3 in 2015. (Plz let it be winter or spring)

I haven't read the manga myself so perhaps you're right but... popular sports manga are known for going on a long time. Personally I'd just be happy to finish the winter cup as an anime (not interested in sports manga, need animation to bring them to life) but wouldn't say no to more after that. I have a feeling that Kuroko's and Kagami's senior year will be covered as well.

I'd love for a season 3, but I really do hope they take their time with it. The last thing I'd want is filler episodes or badly animated ones. Also I think it's important to keep sort of the same pace as they have now, with each game being 4-5 episodes (or so), and then having a few social/training episodes in between. The whole basket thing is great, but it gets dull if there isn't anything to ease the tension...

really not so hyped for it anymore cause the current match in my opinion is much worse than most of the matches that we have seen sofar (in the manga).

apparently Fujimaki ran out of ideas for the final match. hope it gets better in last quarter.

If it depended only on manga it should be much earlier than spring 2015. There's onle 1,5 quarter left in the Seirin/Rakuzan game plus maybe some bonding time after (if it ends there). But there's production and all the business stuff, so it might take as long as a year or even more.

Kikuchi Yoko (Chief Animation Director of Kurobas) says "Two episodes left of Season 2". No Kise on the court this season then. To be honest, despite the aftermath of Kaijou's match being a good endpoint for the season, I'd rather see the season finale budget being put into the Yosen finale. This also ensures that season 3 will start off with a bang.

I agree with you when you say that Kaijo's 1st match would be the perfect way to end S2. But I don't Shutoku's match would be a good way to start S3, so I guess I can wait.

(NONONONONO I DONT WANT TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR TO SEE KISE PLAY AGAIN OMG)

All I've got to say is well, they had better get the pacing right next season!

I just watched the last episode of the second season and I wouldn't mind waiting a year for a third season, as long as the animation is decent and there aren't fillers. I haven't read the manga because I would prefer to see it in action, and I hope they don't drop the anime altogether.

I totally agree. There definitely wasn't enough Kise in S2.
I was originally hoping to see Kaijou's match last season, even if it was only the start, but I did like the way they ended it fairly neatly while still showing a brief glimpse of what's to come (eg Haizaki's appearance).

Anyway, as much as I would love to see S3 this year, I'd prefer it if they didn't rush it, so if I'm being optimistic I'll say Spring 2015, but based on past experience I think maybe Autumn/Fall 2015. Tbh I do think the manga has got enough material so far for the next season to begin early next year, without having to resort to filler, but we'll see.

YES. Lots of Rakuzan action <3
People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts... Their "reality" may all be an illusion. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?

It's safe to assume season 3 is coming. Especially considering that they have yet to animate Akashi, who, according to the latest Japanese poll, is the fan favorite. Imagine the amount of income they'd yield from animating him.

It's not like they're going to start airing it right now. They've only greenlit the production for the 3rd season which means they haven't even started animating it yet.

It'll most likely be a year before we get to see anything.
