Is there a Season 3 for ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets(5-toubun no Hanayome)’? While the anime version of ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets‘ covered most of the original manga, including the final episode in the movie adaptation, some chapters remain unadapted. However, the announced TV special, “The Quintessential Quintuplets ∽,” promises to depict these missing chapters, suggesting a full third season is unlikely.
The news of ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets ∽’ production was made official on April 1, 2023, with a confirmed broadcast slated for summer of the same year. The special premiere on the quintuplets’ birthday, May 5, 2023, and key visuals for the show have been released.
The exact airing date of TV broadcast remains under wraps, but it has been revealed that ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets ∽’ will have a pre-screening in cinemas starting July 14, 2023, for a limited three-week run. Given this, we can expect the TV broadcast to follow at the earliest around August 4, 2023, once the cinema screening concludes.
But what will ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets ∽‘ bring us? The special will cover original manga episodes that haven’t been animated in the series before. Notable manga chapters like ‘The Confession in the Living Room’ (Chapter 38, Volume 5) and ‘A Summer Vacation Without Coincidences’ (Chapter 91, Volume 11) are likely contenders for this adaptation.
The recent trailer for ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets ∽’, released on June 23, 2023, features scenes from both mentioned episodes, along with snippets from ‘A Scarred Secret’ (Chapter 92, Volume 11) previously shown in the movie’s opening. Nino’s cry, “I went too far!!” from ‘Tsundere Tsun’ (Chapter 93, Volume 11) also featured in the trailer, leading fans to believe these chapters will indeed be part of the special.
Interestingly, the trailer includes the caption ‘Summer Vacation Arc’, which could mean that the timeline might be adjusted for ‘The Confession in the Living Room’, an episode set before the summer holidays. Whether this will be done through flashbacks or altering the timeline to fit the summer setting remains to be seen.
While ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets Season 3’ might be a distant dream, fans eagerly await the upcoming special ‘The Quintessential Quintuplets ∽’. With its promise of animated content from the original manga that has yet to be seen, it seems likely to keep the excitement for the franchise alive. Stay tuned for more updates and information!
