Isekai Quartet [Season 3]

Alright, let’s dive into the hype surrounding Isekai Quartet Season 3—because honestly, if you’re a fan of chibi crossovers and chaotic isekai energy, this announcement has been a long time coming. For those who don’t know, Isekai Quartet is the ultimate fan service: a chibi-style anime that throws characters from KonoSuba, Overlord, Re:Zero, and The Saga of Tanya the Evil into a wacky high school setting. And now, after years of waiting, Season 3 is finally happening, with a brand-new addition to the crew: Cid Kagenou from The Eminence in Shadow.

First off, let’s talk about the elephant in the room—Cid’s inclusion. Fans are losing their minds over this, and for good reason. Cid’s whole schtick is being a “chuuni” (short for “chuunibyou,” or middle schooler syndrome) who thinks he’s a secret mastermind pulling the strings from the shadows, even though most of his plans backfire hilariously. Pairing him with Megumin from KonoSuba—who’s equally obsessed with explosions and chuuni antics—is a match made in heaven. Imagine the two of them bonding over their love for over-the-top monologues and blowing stuff up. Kazuma, ever the sarcastic troublemaker, will definitely roast Cid’s edgy persona, and I can already picture Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord trying to take Cid’s “shadow organization” seriously (spoiler: it’s not serious at all).

The excitement is palpable across fan forums. One user on MyAnimeList screamed, “NOWAYYYY OMG IM FEELING AT HEAVEN RN,” while another joked, “We’re getting IQ season 3 before Tanya season 2? Seriously when are we going to get that?” Ah, yes—The Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2 is still MIA, and fans are using Isekai Quartet as a consolation prize. But hey, at least Tanya’s chibi version will be back, probably arguing with Subaru about time loops or roasting Kazuma for being useless.

What’s also cool is the potential for more crossovers. While Slime (from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) isn’t under Kadokawa (so no luck there), fans are hoping for cameos like Seiya from Cautious Hero or even characters from No Game No Life (fingers crossed for a Season 2 hint!). The new PV (promotional video) even teases Cid’s “Shadow Garden” members, like Alpha, possibly joining the school staff—because why not have more chaos?

Let’s not forget the original crew. Subaru will still be dying (a lot), Emilia will be confused, Aqua will be crying over frogs, and Ainz will be trying to maintain his “overlord” image while surrounded by idiots. The dynamic is what makes Isekai Quartet work—it’s not about a deep plot; it’s about seeing your favorite characters interact in silly, unexpected ways.

Visually, the chibi art style is as cute as ever, and the OP (opening theme) “Isekai Concerto” by the main cast’s voice actors is sure to be a bop. The ED (ending theme) “Kimiiro, Bokuiro” by Konomi Suzuki and Kashitaro Ito sounds like a heartfelt tune, balancing the show’s humor with some sweet moments.

Now, the big question: when is it coming out? The PV confirms it’s airing on October 13, 2025, on Tokyo MX and other channels. Fans are already marking their calendars, and some are even planning rewatches of the previous seasons to get hyped.

But wait—there’s a catch for international viewers. The Eminence in Shadow streams on Hidive, while most of the other shows are on Crunchyroll. Will Season 3 be on both platforms? Fans are crossing their fingers for dual releases, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Overall, Isekai Quartet Season 3 is shaping up to be the ultimate isekai party. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the character interactions, or just to see Cid and Megumin blow things up together, this season promises to deliver. As one fan put it, “The best crossover series out there in my opinion. Actually that’s the best choice they could make by adding Cid.” So grab your popcorn, prepare for chaos, and get ready to see your favorite isekai characters in chibi form—because this quartet just got a whole lot more epic.

P.S. If you haven’t watched The Eminence in Shadow yet, now’s the time—you’ll want to know who Cid is before Season 3 drops. Trust me, his chuuni antics are worth it. And for the Tanya fans out there… let’s keep hoping Season 2 is around the corner. Maybe Isekai Quartet will drop a hint? Fingers crossed! 🤞
