The official website of the Yuukoku no Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot) anime series announced an original video anime (OVA) on Thursday. The two-episode OVA will follow an original story not depicted in the manga.

A special event for the anime series will be held at the Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo on March 5, 2022, where the OVA will receive an advance screening. Voice actors Souma Saitou (William James Moriarty), Takuya Satou (Albert James Moriarty), Chiaki Kobayashi (Louis James Moriarty), Makoto Furukawa (Sherlock Holmes), and Yuuki Ono (John H. Watson) will attend the event. The eighth Blu-ray and DVD volume, shipping on October 27, will include an advance entry application for the tickets.

Yuukoku no Moriarty adapts Ryousuke Takeuchi and Hikaru Miyoshi's crime suspense manga based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, which began in Jump SQ. in August 2016. Shueisha published the 15th volume on August 9. The manga has a cumulative 4 million copies of its volumes in print.

The anime series by Production I.G aired in split cours in Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. Funimation simulcast the anime with subtitles and subsequently streamed an English dub.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English last February and shipped the fourth volume on July 6. The fifth volume will go on sale on October 5.

I really love this Anime.I can't wait. I enjoy the first season but in the second season, there is like some missing parts/ scenes so it's kinda boring but still I'm looking forward to this.

I liked this anime at first but it got kinda boring by the end of season 2, I just hope that it's not going to be fujo-bait since I've seen a lot of fujoshis arguing about there being a romantic relationship between William and Sherlock that was left out from the anime or something like that.

Awesome! Lookin' forward to it. I hope to collect the manga here soon. Read the first volume at Barnes, and can already tell that it is much different than the anime. Love this series, so far!

I don't know if this is good news. Overall, this series was indeed very good, but the rushed ending left a bad taste in my mouth. The OVA may explore some gaps between the many events of the series in order to add more good content and allow much needed development for some supporting characters, but it may also go past the ending and make it even worse...

Amazing news!
Can't wait to see what it'll be about.

Excellent news, really enjoyed the last season.

I can't wait! I'm not sure what to expect since the OVA is going to be an original story but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

I thought it was a new season but this is just as good. More Moriarty content is always welcome in this house.

I hated season 2, but season 1 was one of my favourites. And, the crappy second season doesn't take season 1's enjoyment away at all. Anyway, I'll probably watch it. If it's an anime original story, maybe they'll show something from the novels?

Wait- it’s not following the manga… but what’s gonna happen, I mean, what if we get another season since the manga is still running and

(manga spoiler) how is that going to fit into all that? Because I love this Anime/manga and I don’t want the same thing happen here like with Fullmetal Alchemist…

BUT I’m still super hyped! What is gonna happen?! I hope we’ll get some #Sherliam action >.<
