OreGairu Season 3 Release Date & Everything You Need to Know

‘My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU’ or more popularly known as OreGairu is adored by many of the anime fans. Known for its nuanced storytelling and the way it handles teenage romance and the bitter realities, the show will literally swoon you off your feet.

The anime has been well-received by the fans since its initial release, and season 2 saw the same reaction. Since then, fans have been waiting for the third part of My Teen Romantic Comedy, SNAFU. However, it has been delayed due to COVID.


Delay & New Release Date

It is all thanks to the ongoing pandemic Covid-19 that this show also got postponed. It was supposed to release on the 10th of April only.

Theory Section

In the theory section, I will discuss various facts of the show like about the studio, what’s my take on the show, it is famous or not and about the mangaka himself too.

Basically, every technicality that accelerates/hinders the production of ‘OreGairu S3’.

About the Studio

Fans would be overjoyed to know that Studio Feel is returning for the final season. The first season was animated by Studio Brains.

Still, there was a shift in the studio in the second season where Studio Feel took over. There were some noticeable changes in the character design, but it was for good, and we all liked it.

About the Show

In my opinion, Oregairu is possibly the best high school rom-com drama out there. The show revolves around three characters who all have these contradicting perspectives and notions on life and people.

It dives into the psyche of all these characters and makes us understand their individual struggles. But what makes the show best is the witty and canny dialogues and the way it handles all of that.

Needless to say, but the truth must be spoken, Oregairu is for a very niche community. In this community, people admire characters for the way they are.

What makes it accessible?

Oregairu is critically acclaimed by many people because of the ideologies of Hachiman only. His take on the bittersweet life and how he perceives people is what makes the show much more intriguing and intricate than it already is.

Another thing about the anime is that it has a well-defined end goal, the creator knows where he is heading with the characters. Plus, it runs on several different smaller arcs, all at once, thus creating a comprehensive and an all-embracing story for its audience.


About the Mangaka

The creator of Oregairu is Wataru Watari. His other work is ‘Girlish Number,’ which is quite good.

Still, the very definition of brilliance lies in his other creation ‘Oregairu.’ Backed up by Ponkan8, the illustrator, the light novel series, rose to popularity in no time. They both completed the novel back in 2019, with a total of 14 volumes.

Production Update

The anime was to be broadcasted in April 2020, so one can easily make out that the production is all complete, and it was just because of the coronavirus outbreak, which led to its delay.

Key Visual

A key visual was released for the new season, and various fans of the show pointed out that Studio Feel was behind the animation as it resembled the character designs from the second season.

Expected Storyline

This is the last season of Oregairu, and I seriously don’t know how I will live without this show. Putting my emotions aside, let’s focus on the storyline of the third season —

It will continue after the huge cliffhanger we all got to see in the last season. The people of the volunteer club will face the problem of the High School Prom.

Although the prom is just another contrivance to all the questions that we face in our lives, just a heads up. This season, the characters will find their resolve to move forward in their lives and to speak up for themselves.

Recap of Season 1-2

Hikigaya Hachiman, the narcissistic protagonist with a very interesting set of ideas and notions towards life and society, is compelled to join the volunteer club by his teacher. And there, his life suddenly begins to change.

Both the seasons follow him and his friends on a journey of fun and self-discovery where they all develop to better human beings. The entire series makes you feel more and more connected with the characters with the passing of every episode.

Bound with Slice of Life and rom-com, this anime will undoubtedly find your way among your favorites, only if you are patient enough.


Cast and Staff

There is no change in the cast and staff.

  • Director – Kei Oikawa
  • Series Composition – Shoutarou Suga
  • Character Design – Yuuichi Tanaka
  • Takuya Eguchi as Hachiman Hikigaya
  • Saori Hayami as Yukino Yukinoshita
  • Nao Toyama as Yui Yuigahama
  • Ayane Sakura as Iroha Isshiki

About OreGairu

Written by Wataru Watari and Illustrated by Ponkan8, this story was adapted into a manga thrice. It was picked up for an animated adaptation by Brain’s Base. Still, it was animated by Feel Studio in its second season.

This anime is of the slice of life genre featuring the story of the pragmatic highschooler Hachiman Hikigaya. He is forced to be a part of a Service Club by his teacher alongside Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama. Despite having wildly different personalities and beliefs, they offer help to those in need.
