Orphen is back after 2 years from Kimluck-hen a.k.a the Battle of Kimluck, and Season 3 here being a 2-cour joining 2 arcs: Urbanrama-hen a.k.a the Chaos in Urbanrama and the Doom of Dragon's Sanctuary, it's a decent folow-up for those still sticking around since the somewhat awful remake since Winter 2020 (which come to think of it, Kimluck-hen is also a Winter show, but for 2021).

Showtaro Morikubo's OP and Mai Fuchigami's ED is decent, though better than Season 2 IMO. No changes on Studio Deen's low-tier production.

The two young brats are back, as is Orphen with Majic and Claiomh on their way to Ledgeborne to try out the hot springs. But with all their money gone, they have no place to lodge, except for this inn through its innkeeper Eris, which is willing to trade money for work, but with the fact that some tourists have gone missing before. And with its researchers on the find of the Celestial Ruins, only to be interrupted by both Volkan and Dortin.

The Lotz Group is the group responsible for creating the hot springs monopoly, though Eris's inn is the outlier that they are aiming to conquer, by hook or by crook, as such with committing arson to get their commitment. Meanwhile, the researchers with the brats wandering in the forest, hopelessly lost and being attacked by ferocious beasts, with no hope of making it out alive.

Decent return, though what's the use of continuing the remake anyways.

Good to have Orphen back, hoping Deen improved the production qualities for this season.

Obaa-San was so painfully sus lol. No shock at all she was behind the arson.

This remake is nowhere near awful, it's not a masterpiece due the to studio, directing, screenplay but it's not the extreme opposite either. I'd say it sits in the middle, season 1 being an average of 7 and season 2, 8.

Well, not the worst return.
Cleao looking cute in that swimsuit was a highlight.

Another solid well told anime that's irrationally hated? Why? Last season had Dio, I hope this season also has a famous voice actor playing a villain.

I didn't expect the scholar to be bisected. I wonder if he will stay dead, since death is normally pretty permanent in this show.

There's no way Volkan and the researcher are truly done for, their ''deaths'' and those monsters have to be linked to be Celestials' ruins and also to the mysteries surrounding the town.

I know the answer to that but it's spoiler from the books, so we'll have to wait until next week

This scene is a direct reference to the book cover, volume 11

[font="\"gg sans\", \"Noto Sans\", \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"]Favorite fantasy trio is back and of course a trip the the hot springs resort town hides historical secrets regarding the celestials. I'm hyped to see what this is about and Majicks roll beyond being forced to do the chores lol. Also I hope the OP means that the Bulldog of Masmaturian is going to have a big presence.[/font]

Hopefully, the two idiots will become something more this season than hindrance to Orphen. I wouldn't mind if there would be less of them, too. They are definitely the worst part of the show. They  contribute nothing other than "comedic relief", they just get in trouble and hold MC back at every step.
You could say they are there for MCs character development, to keep him grounded and more humane but it's so poorly executed it's just annoying. What's worse, they drag MC down with them with every season.

Good it's back (and we have another season after that anyway), always found this show to be underrated so I'm glad we're getting that many seasons, now starting with that inn case and everything around it it's already tense with how it ended, I hope Volkan really isn't dead uh

It's mostly underrated due to Studio Deen and the poor marketing to the western audience. The 2nd trailer didn't even get released here. I's like they don't care and want to keep it niche to Japan, since it's very popular there.

I couldn't remember why I have such mixed feelings for Orphen until Cleo opened her mouth. She ruins the entire anime imo. I don't feel like her right now. I'll probably get to e2 when I'm bored and it's dubbed..

Are you serious? Cleao is one of the best characters in this series. She's adorable
