Golden Kamuy is back! Even one of the wild bears returns like the premiere of the first season along with some man service.

Really cool to once again see Sugimoto and the party back. There's not much recapping so it jumps straight to the point. We even got some traveling on ice with their adventuring. I have to say the fearlessness is what captured the mood of this episode. Sugimoto in that fist fight was also pretty damn cool if you ask me.

Starting at Chapter 140 to 143 on Sugimoto and Co's journey towards Karafuto to find the missing Asirpa, and the flashbacks of enjoying this show is back.

Of course, what is Golden Kamuy without the iconic 3DCG animation, just with another creature that's worse, the wolverine, and best of all, the world-building that never ceases to amaze me. Not to mention, Hijikata, the 7th Division's Tsurumi and the others are back doing God knows what to reclaim their superiority and find more tattooed prisoners.

Into foreign territory with the Russians, and definitely is uncharted waters finding for a single Ainu girl. But if there's one thing: DON'T PISS OFF the Immortal Sugimoto. This stenka thing: it's like Russian naked "martial arts", and it's time to bring them on for Sugimoto and Co. Good OP, though the less flashy of the set so far.

Solid and great start once again, really missed Golden Kamuy for like a year or two.

Garness? Yes

Manservice? Yes

Some fucking weirdo watching in the backround? Yes

Alright, Golden Kamuy is back for real. Was a nice warm-up for the HOT stuff that should follow next time.

I kinda wonder where this season will leave off, but I can already guess the spot most suitable to wrap up this stage of the adventure. Gonna be wild, with some twisted comedy and feels along the way.

They picked it from where they left it off.

Sugimoto and the rest of the guys fighting half-naked was funny. And we'll be getting more of that next episode.

The show is back on the road!

and we get to see Immortal Sugimoto being badass again. Once he is on your trail you better have a good plan or have him on your side, else you might be in for trouble!
We are only here for a short amount of time, I want to waste as much of that time possible doing nonsense

I missed this show, and I am glad I get to see another legitimately good seasonal this season in this edition of Golden Kamuy.

The production is still incredibly basic (with entertaingly bad CG for animals) but the story and characters are still really damn good.

Nice seeing Sugimoto be Sugimoto again with his tenacity and badass spirit as he and his party is on the search for Asirpa (as well as he with all the photos of looking for 'her').

Music too was on point here with building atmosphere surrounding the cold, winter setting.

Overall, a good start to this season of Golden Kamuy.

It's great to have this show back after so long! And it's back with a the ultimate package of Golden Kamuy, xD.

Asirpa-san looking sad is heartbreaking but only natural. For some reason, I feel like they left too many trails and that's suspicious in itself but we'll have to see how it goes.

Tanigaki jokes right off the bat too, lol. Sugimoto slipping in with the wrong pictures was hilarious, why does he even a collection of Tanigaki xD.

Damn, the crew totally making a mess of the Russians though.

Pretty good Op, by the way. But sadly, not on par with the previous two. Or maybe just yet, who knows.

I'm a little rusty right now honestly since I haven't watched the show since the airing of Season 2 so I think I'll have to catch up to this 3rd season later once I binge-read the manga to Chapter 139 or whereabouts.

Great to be able to watch some more Golden Kamui again. Kicks off right after where they left off. I loved the comedy parts where they showed the wrong photo, a bulky dude instead of a little Ainu Girl XD

Sugimoto still badass as usual, taking down such a big russian guy in two hits was impressive.

Solid start as expected! The fact that they used serious background music even during the comedic parts (and with the characters on poker face) is killing me HAHAHA. I was waiting for that 'interview' part to be animated and it delivered XD and Sugimoto's unlimited collection of Tanigaki's photos lol.


Looking forward to seeing more of my favorite arc in anime format~

I'm not surprised that Sugimoto has a lot of Tanigaki's naked photos since they're already a couple, but I laugh when I realized that the local guy call a person in photo 'cute', and he saw a photo of Tanigaki, not Asirpa. That guy later appear among audience in Stenka, he's a man of culture!

Oh its good to be back! We don't get many badass anime that are quite like Golden Kamuy! Picking up almost directly where the crazy end of Season 2 left off with Sugimoto and Asirpa very separated and Asirpa thinking him dead. Nopperabo himself being a dead end and Kiroranke the one who killed all those Ainu and stole the gold with Asirpa father, things habe been turned on their head. Interesting that we don't even see Asirpa really in this premiere. Sugimoto and his new group with Tanigaki, Koito, and Tsukishima are in desperate search for her after learning of Kiroranke true nature and deception. A great return with this episode. Has all the hallmarks of Golden Kamuy with the humor and badassery rolled into one. The jokes with the pictures Sugimoto kept showing were hilarious. Along with little Cikapasi tagging along with them and his weird name. Traveling further north into what is essentially Russian territory, as they follow Asirpa, they meet some cool people with that young Ainu girl and her grandpa. Plus some shady ruskies of course. Sugimoto the ultimate badass knocking that giant Russian down with just a few punches in the bar. But leading to them having to compete in that Russian team fighting match. Which was awesome. Now they're seemingly close to meeting another tattooed prisoner, who knew one of them would be so far North.

Life is bright once again cause these mad dudes are back! I'm sad that Asirpa isn't with Sugimoto though cause it just ain't right and I also miss Shiraishi! Hopefully, it won't be too long before they're reunited... but this is a pretty interesting group so I'm excited to see what chaos ensues around them!

I really don't understand how this anime isn't more popular cause it's so thrilling with hilarious comedy, but intense and awesome action scenes plus a fantastically colorful cast of characters!

After binge watching Seasons 1 and 2, I finally made it to Season 3 of Golden Kamuy. So Season 3 picks up where Season 2 left off where Suigimoto's team is looking for Asirpa who happens to be somewhere on the island of Sakhalin. The comedy in this series never ceases to amaze me when Sugimoto shows the wrong photo of a naked man instead of a photo of Asirpa. Now Suigmoto's team is mixing it up with the Russians to draw out a stronger opponent who knows something about the prisoners tattoos.

Golden Kamuy's return did not disappoint. I don't how they managed but I like the characters even more. I'm also constantly learning things whilst watching it and laughing out loud in places that despite the plot don't feel out of place.

Golden Kamuy is back with another testosterone filled episode. I felt the manliness and the doofiness from across the screen.

I really do miss Golden Kamuy's wacky jokes and humour in general. It's good to have it back on air. =D

Things pick off right after the last season in Sugimoto's search for Asirpa. Along with the small fight against a Wolverine and Sugimoto having many manly photos of Tanigaki which made me laugh my arse off, their group, with the help of the local Ainu, reached the small town.

Sugimoto certainly put that Russian guy in his place, but because of that, his group had to enter the Stenka tournament in that guy's place. It might be a 4v4 shirtless fight they'll make the fangirls squeal in delight, but it was a really good fight to watch.

The production quality has also gotten better, too, with some better animation movements and, shockingly, no CGI bear in sight. They did use CGI for the dogs at times, but at least that was kept to a minimum and it fits with the art style better than the CGI bear in the past.

Overall, this was a cracking start to season 3. Looking forward to the next Stenka fights. XD

Finally had a time to get here. Yes, they were back! Currently, their goal was not so attached to get the gold. But, its Asirpa, as their first goal to reach, who got kidnapped by the damn Kiroranke, the real key to the gold stashes .... The search mission begins!

I couldn't say much anymore. I just simply pretty exciting with these start. Overall, Its still the same gangs i've watch before. They were still funny (more than i can anticipated. That dang photo, Tanigaki and Sugimoto moment were just insane, then Koito and Sugimoto fights. All them were just hilarious xD, had so much badass moments already, and very dangerous at the same time (those bunch of patsany really messed up with the wrong opponent. XD). Seriously those three soldiers (Tanigaki too) really matched up very well done with Sugimoto's usual antics. I am glad they were all simply had a great chemistry among them.

Also, its even still had the same Ainu's insights on left and there. Especially with their current population at Karafuto, the northern island of Japanese territory from their current times. Damn, with the explanations from the narrator was so good to exploit more of their situations. Such a nice nostalgic vibes already. I am very salute with that kind of direction, its really help me a lot.

So, thats it. More event to get attended. More peoples to met in the strange place, and made their situations kinda hard to believed. Lol. I am really looking forward with whats their next deal at Stenka's parade. The path for them to met Asirpa's very difficult to beaten.

Bruh, how much nude photos did Tanigaki take and why does Sugimoto have them lmao.

Yo, they are all jacked as fuck. I thought they were going to leave the fight as a cliffhanger but, bam Russians got rekt. Overall fantastic start to the season, I rate it a Hinna!Hinna!/10.

Man, exactly two years have passed since season 2. So glad to see Sugimoto and the gang again. Was also missing the man-service a little bit, not gonna lie.

Overall, fantastic first episode and nice way to set the basis for what's to come for our group of manly protagonists. So Kiroranke and co. are closer than expected but it seems they are heading north and as a result, Sugimoto; Tanigaki and the rest are entering more and more into Russian territory in order to find Asirpa. Honestly hope it won't take long until they finally reunite.

On a side note, I'm actually surprised I saw a hand-drawn bear appearing for once so I hope this means the season's production values will be, at least, a bit higher than previous ones. As for comedy, it was on point as usual and the whole introduction to the Stenka "fighting club" has me really excited for next episode. The 'interview' part about participating in Stenka was hilarious, by the way. Totally unexpected xD
