And another anime is delayed due to COVID-19, as the official Twitter account of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (original Japanese title: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru) has announced that the series’ “CLIMAX” third season is delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The staff will make an announcement of the new premiere date as soon as it is decided.
The third season was supposed to premiere on April 9.
The new season’s OP theme song, “Megumi no Ame” (Budding Rain) is performed by singer Nagi Yanagi, who performed songs from the previous seasons. The ending theme song will be sung by Saori Hanayami and Nao Toyama, the voice actresses for female leads Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama, respectively.
Kei Okawa, who directed the second season of OreGairu, is set to return for the third season. Keiichiro Ochi replaces Shotaru Suga as in charge of series composition, and Yuichi Tanaka returns as character designer. The 3rd season will still be produced by animation studio feel.
OreGairu tells the story of apathetic student Hachiman Hikigaya who views the world and life in a pessimistic manner. When he submits an essay scathingly mocking social relationships, his teacher gives him a unique punishment: he is forced to join the Volunteer Service Club, a group that extends a helping hand to anyone in school that needs it. He reluctantly joins “ice queen” Yukino Yukinoshita—the only other member of the club—in solving other people’s social problems and helping them overcome different issues. With Hachiman’s pessimism and nihilism, how will he fulfill his duties in the club?
Officially named as My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU for international fans, the series started out as a Japanese light novel series written by Wataru Watari and illustrated by Ponkan8. It was first adapted into an anime series last 2013, with Brain’s Base handling the production. A second season, produced by feel, aired from April to June 2015.
