We're getting IQ season 3!



It looks like a new member will be joining as well. Once I saw that chibi cross over with overlord I knew it would fit in IQ as well. Glad they're adding Cid. I hope we get to see cautious hero again maybe as well?

Anyways are we going to get IQ season 3 before Tanya season 2? Seriously when are we going to get that?

This literally means nothing to Tanya’s continuation as it’s a completely different studio and team than Studio NUT.

Studio NUT have been busy, but I’m guessing with Isekai Quartet S3 coming soon, Kadokawa may put a little more pressure on NUT to finish S2 of Tanya

So glad Isekai Quartet is getting another season after all these anime got more seasons. Well, all except Tanya. Hope this means Tanya S2 will come out sometime soon. Why the hell is it taking so long anyway? This type of anime being in development hell seems really unusual. And I rarely see any anime being in development hell anyway.

Since Eminence in Shadow got added, I think now I'll have to watch that anime too like I had to watch the other isekai shows for Season 1 and 2. Not that I'm complaining.

Anyway, I hope they'll keep making these crossover spin-offs forever. Even if the main series' (Re:ZERO, KonoSuba, Overlord, Tanya) end, they should keep making these with new shows and characters. Tho I'll probably stop watching by then.

Unfortunately, slime isn't made by Kadokawa, so there's practically zero chance of it appearing.

Personally, my copium always hopes for "No Game No Life" (And a second season), but only the movie was made by Kadokawa so who knows.

Can't wait for Kazuma to make fun of Cid's chuuni act, and for Cid and Megumin to bond over their love of chuuni and explosions.

@Seeinq I watched Cautious Hero when he appeared briefly in...season 2, I think, but I'm not jazzed about binging through another series, especially when Re Zero at the time only had 1 season out with Isekai Quartet S1 was announced, so I didn't have as much to play catch up on

@cvp5127 basically? yes. if you're counting screen-time, yes. episodes, yes. movies... no. ;> each 'show' she's had 1 movie, hers and the IQ Movie.

so far, only Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious cast's appearances on IQ have been 'lesser' than "Tanya's" 'anime source' appearances VS IQ appearances. i vaguely barely remember CH's possibly just ONE episode of IQ? perhaps it was just a 'cross promotion!' appearance for their own show??? maaaaaaybe Shield Hero's cast has been 'lesser' on IQ than their 'anime source' but... Naofumi et al aren't even in the same 'classroom' as the IQ cast members are... so their appearances are more like 'guest starring!!!' incidents. SH aren't even part of 'The Quartet'... unless the show runners want to change the title to Quintet or something higher by adding more 'shows' to the main-cast.

@rohan121 'they' gotta be print-published by KADOKAWA and 'their' anime has to be 'done by' Kado also... or 'they' can't appear on Isekai Quartet. think of it like a DC comic book character ensemble cast movie or TV series. noooobody wants to fork out tons of Yen to pay for trademarked/copyrighted images and blablablabla... to get/buy permission etc.

the last time something like IQ popped up was... to MY personal knowledge... when J.C. Staff was working on the A Certain Scientific Railgun/Index as well as Shakugan no Shana's anime seasons. the guys n gals at JC working on each show had such a 'comedic rivalry' between all the teams that they started creating 'comedy chibi omake' episodes filled with skits poking fun at all the characters of all the shows and even the staff members at JC. also, it didn't hurt the 'roasting everybody content' competitions' chances of making it onto the DVD/BR 'extras' releases because the JC folks had a 'behind the scenes' agreement with ASCII Media Works who was producing/funding all those shows permitting cross-promotional content. it was like... 'those guys did WHAT?!? OHHH NOOO! we gotta come up with something funnier! roasting time folks!' joke war, pranking competition kinda thing.

@lilramune no because Konosuba's cast kept appearing in IQ episodes even after their LN author tweeted he felt the 'anime' was 'done' after their main show finished Season 2. little did he know he was wrong... ;> so sometimes even the authors don't know what is going to happen in the future. :)

Been waiting for the season 3 announcement since I finished season 2.

Tbh, Isekai Quartet and Tanya therein is more engaging than Tanya's own show, IMHO. Haven't been able to finish the first season personally.
So I'm not too bummed that Tanya doesn't have her season 2 yet.

What I'm confused about though is that they're not bringing Cautious Hero into the graphics. Either he's not coming, or he's waiting for season 4 to appear, which would be kind of funny to be fair. Or maybe he'll be prepared enough to help them escape from Isekai Quartet world at the end of season 3.

Either way, super excited for this, and I'll have to rewatch Cid's show too, which also means this show is serving its purpose in advertising Kadokawa shows further, so good job Kadokawa.

I wonder which streaming platform will season 3 be on.

Out of all the isekai series in the show, Eminence in Shadow is the only one not on Crunchyroll because the tv anime streams on Hidive.

Will it be Crunchyroll or both Hidive and Crunchyroll?

It's been like five years or something since they decided to make Isekai Quartet Season 3. I only came here for the Konosuba gang. They're so stupid that's why I like them so much. Especially Aqua. Always screaming and crying and getting eaten by giant frogs.

@KiliianSleipnir If Isekai Quaret's first season had been released a year after Shield Hero's premiere, Kadokawa would certainly have replaced Tanya from Youjo Senki with Naofumi, given the disparity in popularity. But Shield Hero's first season premiered shortly before Isekai Quaret's first season, which was a shame.

In season 2, we had several moments with Naofumi and his troupe, so now I hope the same happens with the Eminence in Shadow. The problem is that the more characters are added, the less screen time each of them will have, unless this season has more minutes per episode.

@Desmascarado yup, the timing of each IQ cast members' appearance compared to their 'host/own anime' premiers would definitely suggest 'cross promotion!' thoughts by Kado and Studio PuYUKAI.

by adding in Cid and at least 2 of his 'girls' (from the PV on YouTube) into IQ3's cast... i'm GUESSING! his long long lonnnnnnnng delayed movie sequel to his S2 will show up before December 2026.

@KiliianSleipnir Well, that will depend almost entirely on the director of The Eminence of Shadows, because I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that he's making the film almost entirely alone. Lol

I also hope they take the opportunity to give more information about season 2 of Youjo Senki.
