The Hibike! Euphonium 6-kaime da yo! Uji de Omatsuri Festival event revealed on Saturday that the third anime season, Hibike! Euphonium: Kumiko 3 Nensei-hen (Sound! Euphonium 3), will premiere in 2024. The event also announced an original video anime titled Ensemble Contest-hen, which will open in theaters in Japan and ship on home video in 2023.

The third television anime is adapting Ayano Takeda's Hibike! Euphonium: Kitauji Suisougaku-bu, Ketsui no Saishuu Gakushou (The Kitauji Concert Band's Decisive Final Movement), the final two volumes in the main story.

Kyoto Animation adapted the novel into two television anime seasons in Spring 2015 and Fall 2016, each running for 13 episodes. The Kitauji Koukou Suisougaku-bu e Youkoso (Welcome to the Kitauji High School Concert Band) and Todoketai Melody (May the Melody Reach You!) compilation movies opened in Japan in April 2016 and September 2017.

The Liz to Aoi Tori (Liz and the Blue Bird) side story movie premiered in April 2018. The Chikai no Finale (Our Promise: A Brand New Day) sequel movie premiered on April 19, taking place during the second school year.

Crunchyroll simulcast for both seasons with subtitles. Pony Canyon USA shipped the first season on home video between June 2016 and August 2016, followed by the second season in August and November 2018. Eleven Arts licensed both compilation movies, the Liz to Aoi Tori side story movie, and the sequel movie in North America.

2024 couldn't come any sooner, ey!

It will be a long wait but I'm sure KyoAni can pull this off and the long wait will be worth it.

Can't wait for this! KyoAni going to be doing God's work again, I just know it.

On a serious note though, I'm sure many must've wondered, including myself, if KyoAni would be able to bring the series in anime format after everything that they've been through. But who am I kidding, I suppose.

Not just a recap movie but a sequel tv series? Yes, please, count me in!

Sounds good. I still haven't watched Euphonium, but I guess I have 2 years to catch up.

If S3 covers last two volumes anybody knows what the OVA is about? Or the OVa will be the S3 summary?

After being disappointed by chikai no finale, this 3rd season doesn't seem that appealing anymore.

Now they have to introduce new 1st and 2nd year students and rinse and repeat season 1+2.

I'm hyped. 2024 is such a long way off though.

I'm very disappointed in Kyotoani for making season 3 of this awful series instead of Nichijou season 2.

Hibike, unlike Nichijou is their own property.
Quick lesson for anime babies: studios don't decide to make adaptation/sequel of something. Production commitee does it which are usually owners of source material.

I'm aware, no need for the condescension.

A 3rd season !?? I'm surprised and excited at the same time but oh man still gotta wait
