J-rock band Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets and voice actress Risa Taneda, who voices the female protagonist Yukina Himeragi, will perform the opening and ending theme, "Akatsuki no Kaleido Blood" and "Dear My Hero," respectively. The main staff and cast will reprise their roles from the previous anime installments. Connect will once again produce both original video anime.

Dengeki Bunko began publishing the school action fantasy novel in 2011, featuring illustrations by Manyako. The 15th volume marked the ending of the series' first part in May 2016, and the second part followed with the 16th volume in December that year. Kadokawa published the 20th volume on June 8.

The first anime adaptation, covering the first six volumes, aired over two quarters beginning Fall 2013. A two-part original video anime based on an original story by Mikumo shipped in 2015. Silver Link. and Connect returned to co-produce a second original video anime series, which was distributed between November 2016 and May 2017. The eight-episode series spanned four Blu-ray and DVD volumes and adapted volumes nine through twelve.

The third original video anime series, entirely produced by Connect, debuted in December 2018 and ended with ten episodes on September 25. The latest series covered up to the 17th volume, as well as the Seisen-hen (Holy War arc).

Discotek Media licensed the television anime in North America and released it on Blu-ray and DVD in November 2016. Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga adaptation in English in January 2015 and published the 12th light novel volume on May 21, with the 13th volume scheduled for an October 15 release. The tenth and final manga volume went on sale in April 2018.

Man I don't know why can't they just make another season instead of OVA series. They can't be worried about it not going well.
Another 12 episodes in the span of 1-2 years. Well I guess something is better than nothing

TV restrictions might play some part in that. Going with OVAs, they don't have to worry about that kinda thing

Iie senpai. This brings more titties which is good for an OVA adaptation.

For a harem anime that doesn't have a single heroine past 1K faves in MAL says a lot of the quality of the anime. Also, the main heroine is one of the most retarded heroines ever.

Nice. Tho I'm still waiting for translation to previous OVAs.

I wonder, could it be OVA format that helps? It allows for much more time to work on it and less censorship. It probably also brings more money.

o 2020 is gonna be a good year! Not the biggest fan of this series but I find myself enjoying it more as I go along. Don't even remember there's a 3rd season but hell yeah definitely would welcome a 4th season! The world needs more magic/fantasy action anime series, that's the one advantage anime has over live action movies.

Obligatory "Iie senpai, watashi-tachi no kenka desu!" lol

The OVAs have been selling like 8k+ BVD/DVD every volume. Good for the series.

Good to see more of this. With all the other bad shows continuing (saw the Mahouka crap now continues as well :D) and a lot of better stuff never being continued. So okay it it is OVA - at least it continues.

Bad art style, bad animation, reliance on random panty shots of kids, pointless derivative stupid plot…etc. Not sure about edgy teens, I thought this kind of show actually appealed more to the young crowd. Im an adult who enjoys grown-up manly things like GaoGaiGar and Granzort.

There are people who watch all the 4-to-6 derivative isekais per season, every season, giving them 10/10...

At least the fights in this one and it's dumb jokes make it a very fine time waster.

Huh? I bash the show for being bad. If you love it, I don't hate you for that. I also poked fun at myself for liking 'kids' shows which many people bash at the end there, among many that is. Just don't like seeing 'low quality productions' being green lit.

First guy bashes me saying the same thing, with no qualifications. How is this show a high quality high brow anime or anything? Prove me wrong.

Yeah, I'm not bothering discussing with a man child who calls anything with fanservice "bad". Blocked.

Nice pattern:
A. launch attack based on interpretation of original post, rather than what it really says
B. ignore response asking for real debate, which also contains clarifications which strictly conflict with the original, false interpretation
C. repeat A and block, launch random insults which also convey false claims about what was said, and pretend that a debate happened, and you won, despite it never having happened
D. Rejouisse!
