The Irregular At Magic High School Season 3: Renewal Status!
It hasn’t been even three months since the completion of the second season of the anime. Therefore it is too early to ask for the renewal. Firstly, the makers will analyze the performance of the second season through its ratings and viewership. Its critical reception will also serve as a major factor in it. And then, after a few months, the makers will announce whether they want to make The Irregular At Magic High School Season 3 or not.
So far, the ratings and the viewership of the second season were pretty good. Madhouse animated it really well, and it is receiving a good response from both its viewers and the critics. Along with it, the demand for its third season is also at its peak now. Therefore it is likely that the makers will soon renew The Irregular At Magic High School for its third installment.
Do The Makers Have Enough Source Material?
The author of the manga series has published a total of 32 volumes in the series. The first season of the anime adapted Enrollment Arc, Nine Schools Competition Arc, and Yokohama Disturbance Arc. In contrast, its second season adapted the Visitor’s Arc. The makers recently announced a movie based on the Reminiscence Arc, which will follow its plot from the Recollection Arc.
Therefore, The Irregular At Magic High School can go on to adapt Steeplechase Arc, Ancient City Insurrection Arc, and Yotsuba Succession Arc. Even after adopting these arcs, the makers will still have a lot of source material left for their future installments. They can easily make five more seasons of the anime with that much source material.
