Seems like they won't skip the content before the movie arc. Now I wonder if we'll get twon cours to adapt the remaining manga this time or if we'll be left with cliffhanger?

A bit more of a gap than there was between the first two seasons, huh? I guess Doga Kobo felt they needed it; with perhaps their single most popular anime, there would've been a strong incentive to keep it going as soon as possible. Especially with the manga and drama done, this is the only major part of the franchise still going, so there's nothing else to keep the buzz active.

As for my own opinion of the story to be covered here… I'll admit it's where the larger narrative starts to show strain, to the point that I honestly think I can identify the exact page where it starts losing its way. But there's still a lot of great material I'm looking forward to, both before and after that point. (Especially since Doga Kobo has the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible and end S3 on the final lines of chapter 123.)

Dang, I was convinced season 3 was airing this year. Hopefully the anime adaptation is fully finished by 2027.

I wonder if we'll get season 2 of Alya at the same time or before.

Oh yeah, since the ending it is trendy to hate on OnK. I almost forgot as while it was far from ideal, I was fine with it. It is a typical case of false expectations. I am more baffled people started hating on earlier parts of the manga (which they liked before) because they disliked the final arc.

Can’t wait, not all of this will be new for me, due to watching the final episode of the Live Action, but it’ll be good to see these arcs in full to get the complete experience for those arcs. I’m guessing this will have 4 seasons overall, and I’ll be able to judge for myself if people’s complaints about the final arc bear fruit. I read the final 10 chapters as they were coming out, having accidentally spoiled myself near the end of season 2, and thought the ending was fine. Not amazing or anything, but no where near the train wreck some fans were claiming and I thought it felt like the natural planned end of the series. Don't get me wrong I understand some of why people didn't like it, spoiler[I was hoping for a happier end as well,], but thought the hatred was overblown. Maybe the anime can improve the final arc like I heard the Live Action movie did

I too have no problems with the ending. I think the problem is some people get caught up in shipping wars, and when their ship doesn’t sail then the thing is instantly bad. The Quintuplet manga/anime suffered from this.

I'm in a completely separate group that just thinks the manga/anime would be 100% better if it was just about the female characters navigating the highs and lows of the entertainment industry. Like the ending is "bad" in the same way the whole reincarnation edgy boy revenge plot is "bad".

But maybe that says more about me and that I should watch more idol anime.
