The Diamond no Ace All-Star Game III event at the Meiji Jingu Stadium announced a TV anime adaptation of Yuuji Terajima's Diamond no Ace Act II (Ace of Diamond Act II) sequel manga on Sunday, scheduled to premiere in 2019. The 52nd issue of Weekly Shounen Magazine will announce further details regarding the new anime on Wednesday.

The original Diamond no Ace manga was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shounen Magazine between May 2006 and July 2015 and compiled into 47 volumes. Terajima launched the sequel manga the following month, which has 14 volumes in print as of November 16. The fourth and fifth volumes bundled two OVA episodes in 2016.

The manga received two anime seasons in Fall 2013 and Spring 2015, co-produced by animation studios Production I.G and Madhouse. Crunchyroll simultaneously streamed both seasons with subtitles.

Kodansha Comics USA licensed the original manga in English and has been publishing it digitally since last March. The 16th volume was published on October 23, with the 17th volume planned for a November 27 release.

Diamond no Ace won the 53rd Shogakukan Manga Awards and the 34th Kodansha Manga Awards for shounen manga in 2008 and 2010, respectively.

It was expected after the recent "big announcement" news. It is great to have the anime back again though. I'm glad I didn't start reading the manga after the end of the season 2 and didn't spoil the enjoyment of this upcoming season.

Welp, guess there's no helping it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like I'll just have to rewatch all the episodes to recall first of all some of the characters' names but more importantly all the progress and emotional growth and struggle they went through

Right, great news for all the fans of this series!

I have been meaning to binge this series for a while now and I’m glad now I have no excuses now to ignore it. I never knew it’s a co-production between Production I.G. and Madhouse though, phew it must be a really good and worthwhile project.

Edit: I wonder if this Season too will have 50+ episodes. I really hope it does because I just fall for shows with more than two cours but less than 5-6.

Soooo excited! I knew it would happen one day, but still happy to hear that it's getting a third season~ Although, this time around, the manga "only" has 14 volumes out versus last time when there were around 30-something volumes out, and the anime ended at volume 46. Either way, if the pacing is about the same as the first two seasons, then this season should be at least 50 episodes, if not more given that Terajima churns out about 4.5-5 volumes per year. I'm totally up for more Daiya! Can't wait for my weekly fix of Eijun's dumbness lol

Realistic sport anime with a lot of slice of life moment = boring


I did not watch Diamond no Ace (only 1st episode but dropped it), but I know it is horrible because almost every single realistic sport has been boring. I only like to watch sport anime like captain tsubasa 2018 or Kuroko's Basketball, character that has insane skills and flashy powers. It more fun and more intense

Not if you enjoy the intricacies or rules of the sports. Daiya is full of baseball, there's no slice of life moments. It showcases the enjoyment and hardwork put into the sport, not to mention the character growth.

Best example of sports anime with a lot of slice of life is Free!. Daiya doesn't have one, it focuses merely on baseball. I see you prefer fast-paced sports anime with op characters that has no actual growth.

Thanks for sharing your opinion I guess.

No growth ?!

In captain tsubasba and Kuroko's Basketball the characters learn new moves and skills that not even real life sport players can do. It has more growth that these boring "realistic" sport

Yeah so much from a person who only watched one episode. But srsly, I don't like wasting my time arguing over Chinese cartoons especially for you getting defensive over my comment.

Sayonara! And again, thanks for checking out the thread of the anime you dislike.

Yes! My favourite sports anime and one of my favourite anime in general is coming back! You have no idea how happy I am.

I did start reading Act II a few years ago but stopped with the hope that it’d get animated one day because I much prefer seeing it all animated. I’m so happy it’s finally happening, I can’t wait to see all my favourites walking and talking again along with the new first years.

His opinion doesn't matter if he watched less than 1% of the show. Period.

I can understand n your case, because you actually watched content, but the dude literally watched 20 minutes of this show. He's spent more time ragging on it than watching it

It's one of the most intense series released in years. Sports or not. If you haven't even seen the show I don't know how you can think commenting on what you think it 'might' be is a good idea. Well animated by I.G. and Madhouse, well directed. Realism in sports anime gives an added sense of tension, since, you know, a character can't just use his plot device super move to save the day.

They started it a bit too early should have waited a year or 2 more before adapting i think they will stop at a point then give season two later on just like first manga
