‘The Quintessential Quintuplets’ manga series concluded its serialization in 2020, but it did not stop us from getting anime content. The manga was adapted into an anime that currently has two seasons and a movie. ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets’ is a harem anime following the life of a high school student Futaro Uesugi, who got hired as a private tutor for a group of identical quintuplets: Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki Nakano. One of the sisters will eventually become Futaro’s bride, but her identity is still yet to be revealed in the anime. Will there be a season 3? Here’s what we know.
Will There Be ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets’ Season 3?
As of now, there has been no confirmation about the renewal of ‘Quintessential Quintuplets’ for Season 3. However, a movie was released in May 2022 that continued the events of season 2. How does the anime movie impact the series and the possibility of a third season? To understand, let’s take a look back at the source material. The manga series concluded its serialization in 2020, with a total of 122 chapters published in 14 volumes. The first season of the anime adapted the first 32 chapters of the manga, while the second season increased its pacing by eliminating some story arcs and limiting the dialogue. Consequently, the second season covered up to chapter 86 of the manga. The movie served as a sequel to the second season of the anime series. Although there’s still plenty of source material left to cover, it’s possible that the movie could bring an end to the anime. However, it’s also possible that the remaining source material could be adapted and compressed into one or two movies by significantly altering the pacing. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
How Popular Is ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets’?
The anime debuted with an average and mixed reception from fans. ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets’ currently holds a 7.66/ 10 rating on MyAnimeList. However, the second season received more favorable reviews and ratings. It currently has an 8.08 rating on the same website.
‘The Quintessential Quintuplets’ Season 3 Potential Release Date: When Will It Come Out?
The anime has not yet been renewed for a third season. However, assuming that it will be, we can predict its potential release date based on several factors. The first season, produced by Tezuka Productions, premiered on January 10, 2019, and concluded on March 28, 2019. The second season, produced by Bibury Animation Studios, was originally scheduled to premiere in October 2020, but it got delayed to January 8, 2021, due to the pandemic and concluded on March 26, 2021. Based on this schedule, we might have expected the third season to premiere in 2022. However, since the anime movie was already released in May 2022, it is likely that the third season will be released in 2024. Please note that this prediction is based on an assumption and is subject to change.
