Synopsis

After obtaining information about Asirpa from the foreteller Inkarmat, Saichi "The Immortal" Sugimoto, Genjirou Tanigaki, and Cikapasi join the Seventh Division's Otonoshin Koito and Hajime Tsukishima on a journey to Karafuto. Heading further north into the freezing Russian territory, they collect any clues about Asirpa's whereabouts they can find and rush after her.

Meanwhile, Asirpa is unaware of what truly transpired at Abashiri Prison. Deeply disturbed and confused by her father Wilk's past actions, Asirpa follows his old friend Kiroranke to the place where Wilk was born and raised in order to better understand his motives. However, Kiroranke and the master sniper Hyakunosuke Ogata are scheming behind her back.

Even if they were to obtain all 24 tattooed skins that form a map to the lost Ainu gold, the various factions searching for it now understand that the map is useless without Asirpa. Realizing the danger she could be in, Sugimoto desperately hopes to reach Asirpa first and protect her from the greedy clutches of those who plan to drag her into their sins.

Golden Kamuy is one of those anime that I can't criticize. No it's not perfect but it is a great anime. One of the best I've ever seen. For me personally it is a perfect anime because it has everything I love in the story.

Third season doesn't disappoint, I didn't have any doubts that it will be amazing! I'm just sitting there and waiting for the announcement of the fourth season!

Golden Kamuy is one of those series that are appreaciated in Japan but sadly not worldwide. Sometimes I think it's better this way, normies wouldn't understand its phenomenon anyway.

I give this anime 10/10 because it ...

AHHH...Golden Kamuy, the series that never stops giving both its world and characters rest (even with the ample amounts strewn throughout), and keeping us on our toes each and every time. Now into the 3rd season after a 2-year wait, and the "peak fiction" levels of enjoyment and thrill has never dipped once, even with its hilarious slice-of-life comedy that always proclaims the provocatively memorable "HINNA, HINNA!" catchphrase. If you're reading this review and watching this spectacular series for the very first time (at least this installment anyways), please start from the very beginning and experience the awesomeness that is this historical action-adventure series that's ... unlike anything else out there.

With that outta the way, let's continue to where we are left off with the cliffhanger of Season 2: The group separation of a journey to find Asirpa's father Nopperabo (now recognised as Wilk) and figure out the passcode to the Ainu gold that the only daughter would know in total secrecy! Divided into 2 groups (Sugimoto's group of Koito, Tanigaki and Tsukishima, along with Asirpa's group of Ogata, Kiroranke and Shiraishi) and playing the cat-and-mouse killing chase throughout the numerous arcs that are based throughout Karafuto, the lost secrets of Season 2's final episodes have been revealed, and revenge is on the nigh for Sugimoto's group against Asirpa's group with the numerous betrayals of former comrades with a strong tenacity for payback (while engaging in some unavoidable Russian pastimes for insane hilarity and scourging for information).

And if you think that the higher-ups of the 7th Division and the Shinsengumi are mostly forgotten in this season, you're both right and wrong: Correct in the sense that while both Tsurumi, Hijikata and their lackeys serving as background characters, but wrong in the sense of pre-Russo-Japanese war happenings (especially for the former's backstory and how he became the series "psycho" psyche of a fearsome antagonist that we all know and love). That by far, is easily THE BEST defining moments of Golden Kamuy's adaptations to-date. Even the Ako Prison Break arc of Asirpa's group saving former Russian comrades-turned-revolutionaries provides a nice backdrop of the history between them, Kiroranke and Wilk, all leading to the final sequence of events that reach the objective laid out since Season 1: the Ainu gold treasure hunt. Man, talk about heaps of stacked infodump that only gets better as the story progresses, and sharing with it is the ever-growing excitement from the marvellous execution of both its main story plot and background twists. What can I say, the gradating outstanding storyline just rolls off the tongue.

It's easy to say that for Geno Studio, they undoubtedly haven't dabbled in anything else except Golden Kamuy, of which the comparisons to both Kokkoku and Pet, are like small pests to an enormously large reservoir. But as a long-time viewer and for the 2nd year of the series running, I can safely and assuredly say that Golden Kamuy isn't just a cash-cow for the small studio, but evidently a passion project altogether of constantly better visuals and improved animation with the same production staff team that has helmed this anime since 2018. Many may say that good animation doesn't hold up a bad overall story (or vice versa), but you're not gonna find all of that here, as Geno Studio does a heck of a marvellous job solidifying each progressive season in both consistency and pacing.

The music department has also been one of Golden Kamuy's pervasive strengths since the very beginning, and what great OSTs we were blessed with in prior seasons, because Season 3's OST is also no slouch in that matter. FOMARE's debut song "Grey" for the 3rd OP may not have the ooze and oomph of the same bombastic quality as both Seasons 1 and 2, but I feel that this is the most rounded sounding song of the OP song list that's still pretty good on its own (heck, the full song clocks in at sub-3 mins, so I'd recommend music nuts to give this a listen). What definitely sounds a major upgrade is the ED, and THE SIXTH LIE is back with another banger song that's brings back the feels with their 1st ED "Hibana", but exponentially better with "Yuutetsu". In this show, when the starting instrumentals part begin to kick in, you know shit is gonna hit the fan by the proceeding episodes, and this brilliant time signature absolutely amplifies this song tenfold. I'd go to say that this might be the best ED of the series to-date, certainly now my all-time favourite of the ED song list. All in all, another praise-worthy OST to add to the collection.

Golden Kamuy has always been the top 1% of god-tier standards in both story plot and visuals (for both the manga and anime), and yet for the 2 years since the anime came out, it's a very saddening reality to see that even lesser people really notice this massively underrated "crème de la crème" of an exceptional show, much less the declining number of watchers (me included) who have stuck with the series since Season 1 with non-stop awe and praise. A recommendation at this point is seriously not enough for people who are actually missing out on Golden Kamuy (at least the West anyways, since Japan both love and hold the source material in very high regard), and I'd wager on being a revolutionary weeaboo otaku by saying this:

"Come on Crunchyroll, you can do a better job than just licensing this to Funimation to handle the (post-season) English dubs for 2 straight years running, RIGHT (since both your company and Funimation are now under Sony)??? You want to plan a Season 4 someday, sure, go ahead! We also want a Season 4 in the future, but please do the correct planning, PLEASE."

Mixed Feelings

I legitimately have no idea how this season has more score than the first two, I don't even know how this get more than 7 stars with just dumbly chasing for 11 episodes and just let the trouble ran away in the last episode, except more people are free this year so the standard was lower.

The whole story of this arc is just a bunch of fillers, like author didn't know what to write so he just drag story around.

Throughout the 11 episodes I felt it's bad, the ending of the last episode just makes it far worse.

I skipped through 12 episodes within 2 ...
