The staff for the third anime season of Ryo Shirakome's Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest (Arifureta Shokugyō de Sekai Saikyō) light novel series released the season's first promotional video on Sunday.
The new season is set to premiere this fall.

- Yōko Hikasa as Tio Klarus

Akira Iwanaga (Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, The Morose Mononokean) returns to direct the anime at asread (who animated the first season with WHITE FOX). Shoichi Sato returns to oversee and write the series scripts. Chika Kojima again serves as the character designer and chief animation director. Ryō Takahashi returns to compose the music.
Funimation described the story:
Hajime Nagumo and his high school class are suddenly summoned to a fantastical land as heroes. But while most of his classmates have powerful stats and abilities, Hajime does not. Underappreciated and unprepared, he tumbles into the depths of a monster-infested dungeon where voracity and sacrifice are his only options. To thrive in this savage world, he'll have no choice but to welcome the abyss.
J-Novel Club is publishing Shirakome's prequel spinoff novel series Arifureta Zero. Seven Seas has been publishing the manga adaptation of the main series in print in English, and it also licensed the Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest: Zero and Arifureta: I Love Isekai (Arifureta Nichijou de Sekaisaikyou) spinoff manga.
Shirakome launched the novel series in Japan in June 2015 under the OVERLAP Bunko label, with illustrations by Takayaki, after initially presenting it on the user-submission site Shōsetsu ni Narō.
