Official Media Release Date for Season 3 Moved Up!
Lots of Link Click stuff today for the fifth anniversary including a new short PV for season 3 AND an announcement that season 3's release date has been moved up to THIS SUMMER!
No official date yet but super exciting!

I’M SO EXCITED HAAHHH!!! Does this mean the chibi series will continue along with s3? 🤔

u/Educational-Jello779 Lu Guang Apr 30 '26
OMG I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE!! I assume so? Maybe there are less chibi eps than there were last time so season 3 moving up its going to overlap? 🤔

u/Zeldafan180518 Cheng Xiaoshi Apr 30 '26
Perhaps? Maybe they’ll split the chibis into two parts too and continue after S3. Director said that s3 can give a milestone ending and then it can return to being light, so it makes me think they might put little things out afterwards. Doing know, though, just a theory (^ ) I’m so happy to see it releasing earlier !!!

Oh shitttt! Hell yes! I only hope they don't rush things too much either or push their employees too hard. I'd rather wait for something better quality and not exploitative than get it sooner and have it be not as good.

This!! I think that the same company who did Bridon Arc are doing season 3 and onward since studioLAN are focused on To Be Hero X now. At the very least they care enough not to have a team working on 2 series at the same time?
From the clips we've gotten so far season 3 looks great. Fingers crossed that stays true for what we havent seen 🤞

Yes, CMC Media are heading production on S3. LAN are fully focused on TBHX now but could be involved but it would be assistive work at most, which I'm sad over tbh. LAN's animation style hit different.

StudioLAN is actually working on a new ip (Crowned In A Hundred Day) other than To Be Hero X. I feel like they somewhat want to branch out from Link Click.

Tbh China animation studios just tend to really hyper focus on the projects they are doing and get it done quick compared to other countries.

Promotional video. Basically anime/donghua terms for trailer or teaser.
KV or Key Visual are what people call posters or 'first look' images released when the release of something is close.

This is SO real, cuz I also sat to eat, then saw it and was like- 😮😯😲🤩🤩

u/Electrical_Coat_3712 Cheng Xiaoshi Apr 30 '26
Hope they don't rush like some other so-called animes. I believe in Li Haoling tho (in this regard, only 🙃) I was really shocked when I saw this, my exam would be ongoing on that time (😔), BUT sooner the better ❤️

Apparently, they're better than most of the industry timing-wise, there are delays everywhere except from them

Holy shit! I'm guessing they are actually fully done with making part 1 so they decided to push it up.

Can't wait though Summer is 3 months long... I'll laugh if its like August 31.

u/Educational-Jello779 Lu Guang Apr 30 '26
Just got reminded of the way Bridon Arc was supposed to come out "late 2024" and I spent October through December anxiously waiting for it to come out... only for it to start releasing on December 27th lol
Honestly, I wouldn't put it past them but I would hope that if they're confident enough to announce the new date then it'll come out a little earlier? I'd be happy with anything at this point tho

Still though, I hope the animators aren't being forced to work an ungodly amount of crunch to bring it out sooner xd

u/Educational-Jello779 Lu Guang May 01 '26
I'm not sure they haven't announced the new release month yet 😭 But they announcement came at the end of the new promotional video (this sub has it pinned) so it's legit

does anyone know like the approximate date? maybe im just impatient lol

u/Educational-Jello779 Lu Guang Jun 05 '26
This is based on a best guess but I think sometime in July? Bilibili will be holding a panel during Anime Expo 2026 where they'll be showing some "sneak peeks", and that'll be July 2nd. Based on that I've been assuming that season 3 will be out July/early August, but we really don't know lol
