Synopsis

Following their heroic efforts at Walter Park, the students of the misfit class return to Babyls Demon School after their summer vacation. What awaits them is not only adoration and admiration but also the shocking revelation that, in order to stay in the luxurious Royal One classroom, the entire class must be promoted to Dalet rank before entering the second year. As the Harvest and Music Festivals are right around the corner, there seem to be ample opportunities to rank up. Doing so will not be simple, however, as no class thus far has managed to accomplish such a feat. Hoping to give the misfit class a chance to achieve the improbable, the school appoints special tutors to aid in confronting the challenges that lie ahead. With his sights set beyond Dalet, Iruma Suzuki decides to take strides toward the goal of ranking up, starting with gaining acknowledgement from his special tutor: the short-tempered and selfish Bachiko Barbatos.

This anime is my favorite recent anime I've discovered. This show to me in my opinion blows MHA out of the water mainly because the entire class get character development and its just so god damn wholesome. Its impossible not to smile watching this show. As an anime only watcher the whole premise of Iruma-kun becoming the nexr demon king I assume is very interesting and I can't wait to see how it will all unfold. The side characters from the first two seasons get to shine more in this season and we learn more about everyones strengths this season. I can't wait for season4!

This review is in regards to season 1, 2 and 3 as I'm too lazy to write 3 separate reviews. Season 1: When I started the first season I had no idea if I was going to enjoy this anime or not. I had heard nothing about it, seen nothing about it and the first episode wasn't in my opinion the most interesting start. My assumption was it was going to be another generic fantasy / isekai-esc anime. However, I was quite surprised. I did find it a bit generic with the main MC (Iruma) being able to just beat over powered enemies and dooverpowered stuff whilst being human. However, season 1 did a great job introducing us to the school, introducing us to the characters and even having pretty solid villain and way to end the season. Introducing Clara, I initially wasn't a fan of her and thought she was annoying but later on she grew on me and I think she's a solid character. Season 2: Once again another solid season, whilst I did enjoy season 1 more, I found season 2 to be quite enjoyable. It also introduced me to my favorite episode out of the 3 seasons (When Iruma and Ameri when on a kinda date) - I enjoyed the plot about them saving Walter Park and it actually (for some reason) gave me goosebumps seeing Kirio and just how much more demented and twisted he's starting to get. I can't tell if it's just his personality or just from being locked away that made him more crazy. Season 3: This Season of Demon School I am very conflicted on. Up until now the episodes have been really good, there hasn't been an episode I haven't enjoyed and overall it's been good. However, I'd say season 3 was the weaker of the 3 seasons. However, I also wouldn't say it was bad either. Just very drawn out and lasted way too long. Personally, I didn't find the harvest festival plot to be too interesting. Not to say it was bad, but I didn't find it to be all that. Not to mention it lasted 17-18 episodes which is disappointing as both season 1 and 2 had a lot going on, different stories etc and yet they made it work and they made it not feel rushed. Season 3 I feel like the festival went on for 10 episodes too long. Even if I was really engaged with the story and enjoying it, I still feel like it was a bit too long. Overall I recommend this anime. I do hope it returns for a season 4 one day as the final episode of season 3 eludes to some big things that sound like they're coming up. I'd also like if some of the background characters such as Haruno got some more screen time. I liked that they did get used a bit more in season 3, but I would like if they were involved a little more in the story. S1: 8/10 S2: 8/10 S3: 7/10

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 3 Review: Demonishly Delightful Season 3 of Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun hits all the right notes, delivering another serving of engaging mischief, action-packed fun, and heartwarming growth in the demon world. What shines: The Festival Arc: Packed with excitement and laughter, the festival serves as a fantastic centerpiece, highlighting the strengths of the show's humor and action. Character Development: The season delves deeper into the cast, showcasing their personal journeys and emotional growth. Each character feels valued and contributes to the narrative in meaningful ways. Flow and Pacing: While some shows might benefit from a faster pace, Iruma-kun's steady approach allows for charactermoments to breathe and emotional connections to build naturally. The smooth flow helps the season avoid feeling like a drag, instead offering a comfortable and enjoyable watch. Overall: If you enjoyed the previous seasons, Season 3 is worth your time. It offers a delightful mix of humor, action, and character development, leaving you excited for future seasons. With its engaging story and lovable characters, Iruma-kun earns a solid 9 out of 10. Additional notes: I removed the excessive use of exclamation points and informal language for a more polished tone. I provided specific examples to support your claims about the festival and character development. I phrased your life hack about slower-paced shows in a more objective and informative way.

the season sucked.it lacked content and was childish .but believe me this anime is a REAL GEM. they are putting very much effort into the manga but the thing is that the anime wont make any impact due to these ABSOLUTE SHI*TY ANIMATIONS that's not suited for this anime. I mean it.go read the manga those who are not satisfied and you'll realize what I meant. the anime LACKS ORIGINALITY, ARTS, ELEMENTS, SUITABLE EFFECTS that is shown in manga. but above all the flaw is the arts.they are shown in the manga as in top quality yet in anime trashiest and sh*ttiest quality. theyare overdoing animations in few occasions but usually its not making impact with arts at all.this STYLE is not suited for anime as shown in manga. in the anime they are only putting much effort into cringiest things you could find such as "waifu elements" ,"OP MC type" ,"adding supportive characters OP elements "and thats all. the original wasn't this cringe or childish it added up with the flow of plot, which is essentially "netherworld and only human".the anime is taking that apart and putting effort into useless things. I personally dont think that the animations are THAT bad, it's just they are simply focusing into characters too much and overdoing it contrasting simplest things on animations

Season 3 is the show's take on the tournament arc... monster hunter / harvest moon style. 19/21 episode of this season is dedicated to the harvest festive which is just go to the forest and gather food. The rarer the better. While fun and action filled it had some pacing issues. For one thing the "festival" took over the show leaving very little for character development that the manga went out of it's way to portray. The Characters paired up and their skill advanced is the focus but no character growth or arcs in the show which left it a bit empty. Plot Story 7/10 It's aninteresting take on the tournament arc. One thing I appreciated is that the rules were set out clearly from the beginning and nobody was excepted from them, not even the MC/s. The students were paired up and each given a different path to walk keeping it interesting. Characters 7/10 The side cast's relationships & skill sets got show casted in this season giving them more presence. While they showed more development with character growths last season here it was more about their bonds which isn't too bad but not as satisfying. Some of the better moments in the show was when their friendships shined through. Art & animation 7/10 Pretty decent, colors vibrant and animation smooth. Fun Factor 7.5/10 Lots of action, quite a few cute moments and over all not bad. It did feel a bit empty compared to the past seasons though. It followed the manga but focused more on the action rather than the character development moments. Overall 7/10 A fun season but once the harvest festival was over it give the feeling of being a filler arc. Still, recommend it for any Iruma fans.

Better than the first season but worse than the second season. Still, this anime does not disappoint. The characters are well written and Barbatos Bachiko only confirms it. I never thought that I would like this pink character so much. This season, most of the characters important for the plot get power ups. The romance thread is still neglected for some reason, but at least something has moved on this topic now. Technically and musically, the anime is on a similar level as previous seasons. However, I am still waiting for the development of the plot that has been mentioned several times before: Iruma forthe Lord of Hell!

Honestly a good season, I did put the speed up until episode seven but it was enjoyable from then on out. Plus we saw side charactera time from time which was awesome to get to learn about them more. The characters were also well rounded to be serious smart but also a but funny even in situations you may not know what you get. The art style was beautifully done plus most of the time I could barely predict the plot which was amazing. This would be great for people who may actually want to know if they should or shouldn't waste their time.

REVIEW 2.0 FOR THIS SEASON ------------------------------------------ The first half of this season that was fully dedicated to the Harvest Festival went to the fucking shitter, but it bounced back in the second half like recoil on Prison School's tits and more. It's an amazing series. WATCH IT. Some of the harvest festival episodes are skippable, they don't matter that much if you don't care about the side characters. Only skip if you really hate it, cause after you finish the season you will be craving for more. The animation is decent, characters are the same as ever. There is more focus on the side characters this season thanthe previous ones, which is fine. They are quite interesting and Iruma still has the spotlight. Also more development between Ameri and Iruma. Also, Clara is amazing. Clara is god. Clara is adorable, I love Clara. She's so cute and childlike, I love it. I want to be Clara. Especially in the last episode. Seeing Clara have fun is so satisfying and fulfilling. The scene where she and Iruma play together made my day. Life truly has meaning when Clara exists. She alone is enough reason for you to see this series to the end. Azz is also pretty cool. Bro is lowkey gay. He got a power-up this season too. Love the main trio's chemistry. Happy friendships with a darker plot scattered through episodes. I've never seen a series like this before. Not even MHA can compare to this. I LOVE MHA and rate it higher than this, but it's mostly because of the fanfiction potential. The series on its own is a 7/10 at best. Iruma series has gotten a 9/10 just for what it is and nothing more. That's impressive. If you've watched the previous seasons, watch this one too. If you haven't watched anything related to Iruma, watch the series!!!

Here's the thing: If you liked the first two seasons, you'll like this. Things keep developing and it's an interesting and entertaining season. If you didn't like the first two... well I guess you probably won't like this one but also why are you even here. Go watch something that you'll probably like. Overall the series is very good and judging by the manga as of right now is going in a good direction. The anime doesn't come out fast enough for them to need to start putting in random anime only episodes so there's little worry on that front. There's a few parts that could'vebeen done better but overall they feel like nitpicks. The main appeal for me are the characters. The ones introduced are interesting and they don't fall out of focus as the series moves on. Also, despite the cast being pretty large it doesn't feel bloated. Story 8/10 Art 9/10 Character 10/10 Enjoyment 8/10 Overall 9/10

It feels like this season was full of fillers. Most people didn't like this season, not because of the art, music, or the plot. They didn't like it because at most 8 episodes of content are provided in 21 long episodes. The art and voice acting were excellent. It is impossible to comment on the plot since you can't see the flow of a river if it is too slow. I gave 6 for the sake of the visuals. But if it was half the length with the same content, I would easily give an 8 or maybe a 9. So my suggestion is: if somehow season 4 airsjust wait for a recap and go watch the recap of this season.

A Devi Good Show. Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is one of those shows that you can binge watch an entire two seasons of in a day and not know where the time went because of it’s incredibly charming writing, impeccable comedic timing and it’s endearing cast of loveable characters… which is exactly what I did before the third season dropped because I had slept on this anime for so long. The way Iruma-kun’s commitment to gag humour is used to create a wonderfully spooky yet, logically consistent world embodied with hilariously quirky yet, believably realised characters is not only genius, but addicting to watch. Ithelps more when you binge watch it, and this absolutely applies to season 3 which is basically one big Shonen Jump tournament arc. A good one too, with musical numbers. Theres always got to be musical numbers! Season 3 manages to hit that sweet-spot between being a believably semi-series Shonen Jump tournament thing without compromising it’s commitment to the gag’s and bits sprinkled throughout. With the misfit class needing to rank up to rank 4 unless they face being booted out of their hard earned, royal classroom, a few of them get some incredibly good character developments. Unfortunately, because this is an arc that primarily focuses on action, the rough-around-the-edges animation really stands out this time around. There are times when the animators get to flex, but unlike the previous season where a lot of the combat looked great and felt impactful, I felt like there wasn’t anything on par to say, Amelie vs Giant Rat. Oh yeah! And there’s a criminal lack of Amelie this season! She’s like, the best character! (Apart from Iruma of course… and Clara, and Alice, and Bachiko, and Kerori, and Sabnock and Balam, and Clara’s Family, and Alices mom, and so on and so forth.) This arc is also long, which isn’t necessarily bad, but considering the previous two seasons had a much quicker pace it really stands out. A lot of my complaints are just personal taste though, and I still highly, HIGHLY recommend Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun to anyone who hasn’t seen it and love gag comedies. It’s one of those comedies that manages to advert your exceptions every time you think you know where the punchline is going to land and it’s more hilarious for it. I hope our favourite soft boy Iruma gets a season 4, especially now that the demon realms status-quo is is about to shake up in interesting ways. 8/10 Great.

Season 3 of Iruma-kun is great in my opinion! Not the best, by all means, but still going quite well For those who read my preliminary review, the show starts rather slow, true, but it gradually portraits all the Misfits' quirks and characteristics. The Harvest Festival is akin to a tournament arc you'd see in most shounen anime which almost instantly makes it worthwhile. We get to learn a lot more about the supporting characters as well and even though we're all rooting for Iruma, we start to favour them too. The Festival is engaging, action-packed and most importantly fun (to keep this spoiler-free) - which, let'snot forget, is the point of this show. It's supposed to be a light-hearted comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously! Fantastic arc! I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! I can't wait to see what's in store for Season 4 as the ending of this one opened doors to many interesting future developments! I highly recommend it! P.S Here's a little life hack with slower-paced shows - leave a few weeks for more episodes to accumulate (or wait for the whole season to drop if you have the patience). That way, when you start watching, you'll find the show does not feel like a drag as much and flows faster and more smoothly.

Iruma-kun was an anime that worked very well as a wonderful “Saturday Morning Cartoon” type of show. Decent comedy, action, and the lovable characters shaped what were two solid seasons. While this season did have some decent moments, it ultimately got hampered by staying in the same setting for most of the season, surrounding the Harvest Festival, which felt a very long, drawn-out arc. It moves away from the school setting, which was where the charm for me was, and into a competition of sorts between the classes. The season jumps around between characters, and balances development out for them, but it forgets what themain enjoyment point was, which was seeing Iruma and his two best friends, Asmodeus and Clara, interact and have fun with each other. The animation and production overall was fine, as it was around the same quality as the first two seasons had. The big scenes looked good, and the meaningful ones were well executed. As for the OP a bit disappointing, and the ED was quite awful. The biggest problem though, was that even though each character had their own developments, they didn’t feel very meaningful, rather, they felt quite shallow. Sure, each of them has their breakthroughs and good moments, but they were unfortunately quite forgettable. This might just be a me thing, but the characters that most people love most (Ameri, Clara, Asmodeus), just didn’t show up enough, and I just didn’t care about the other characters to really be invested in the story. One new character who I did enjoy watching was Bachiko, who was quite the funny mentor for Iruma, but I wish she got more screen time as well. Ultimately, the season simply starts out too slow for me to care for what happened at the end of the arc, and I wanted it to be over. I did enjoy some of the season to an extent, but nowhere near the level I did for Season 1 and 2, which delivered entertainment at more of a consistent quality than this season, which felt comparatively boring. Let’s face the facts though, Iruma-kun provides NHK with quite the return of funds, and unless something major changes, I doubt this will be the last season of the show. Is it a lack of passion from the staff? Just poor direction? Or something more? It just felt something was missing from this season. I’m not gonna lie, it felt a little lazy, with the constant recaps shown, and the dragging with the needless cliffhangers. I really hope that this season was a one-off, and Iruma-kun can get back to being the charming show it once was. Let’s hope the money didn’t get to their heads. I will say this though. If you haven’t watched this season of Iruma-kun yet, a binge might function better and make you enjoy it more than how I watched this, which was in a weekly format. If a Season 4 is on the horizon, I hope it can get paced better, with more intrigue than this season provided.

"Dear Iruma-kun fans, the lovable human dork is back and better than ever"...is what I WISH I can tell you. But boy, oh boy, Season 3 is to put it simply: a slogfest. For the 2nd time in a row, I need not mention that mangaka Osamu Nishi's Mairimashita! Iruma-kun a.k.a Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is a juggernaut of a manga that is and still continues to be seralized weekly in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shonen Champion to high praise and fanfare amongst the hardcore Iruma-kun community since its start in 2017. Along with the anime's debut since Fall 2019 under the likes of Japan's primarybroadcast network NHK that has continued to reel in anime-onlies about the brillance of the work, brought to the small screen for about 3 years now with the 2 seasons prior. After the insane high of Season 2 following the Walter Park arc and concluding the First Term Saga story part of the manga, Season 3 is back to trail the Second Term Saga, starting with the Special Tutor Training and Harvest Festival arcs (following the mid of Volume 11 to mid of Volume 17 of the manga) of watching Iruma-kun and the Misfit Class follow through the promises of what it means to be in the ultimate Babyls class of all: the Royal One. The caveat being that if they don't raise their ranking status to Rank 4 Dalet, they will be kicked out of the class. Sounds simple as molasses, ain't it? It's plain as heck, but still drives the great and progressing story at the same fundamental core as it always has been for both Seasons 1 and 2, feeling a sense of home for Iruma-kun fans, both manga readers and anime-onlies. But in the process, adaptations can still falter if there feels like something is missing, and I'm pretty sure that you can agree with me that Season 3, bites the Iruma-kun's franchise as the worst season to grace the anime scene yet thus far. I would not be surprised that NHK will greenlight a Season 4 in the future to adapt the Music Festival arc, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Iruma-kun, Asmodeus "Azz-Azz", Clara, and the rest of the Misfit Class are about as typical as you can expect if you've been following the anime since its inception, though each of them great in their own right to showcase Osamu Nishi's spectacular writing and crisp artwork, given that at the time of this review, we're now halfway into the adaptation of the overall manga's paces. As mentioned, the Special Tutor Training and Harvest Festival arcs are meant to prepare Iruma-kun and gang on their 1st Year's graduating courses before heading into their 2nd Year, with the arcs being the first in line to progress. And over the course of the run, they would come out better and stronger, aided by the Babyls teachers that would bring them to higher status, mainly the goal of the Harvest Festival arc: being winners a.k.a the Young King, and that's it. The problem with the adaptation of the 1st of 3 graduating Festival arcs is of course, the adaptation translation from manga to anime. The anime has been rather well-paced since the beginning, so there is no short of great content to adapt throughout its entire episodic run. The issue is that with the pacing, especially with Season 3, while it re-creates the exact same sense of bewilderment of what's to come, you could feel that you are watching the manga's adaptation at a snail's pace. I know I did, and this effect only started to show by the 3rd or 4th episode of the same goddamn arc that felt like little bits of progress, and what resulted the fact that it ultimately never anchored the anime version of how the manga was illustrated at this time, with some of the most nail-biting, jaw-dropping artwork that Osamu Nishi has drawn in her lifetime, being foreboding and expectant of what's to come. That sense of bewilderment is totally gone in the anime, and by the end of each progressing episode, I find myself echoing this over and over again: "When is this long-winded arc going to be done?" Yes, you could argue the fact that Iruma-kun and Co. are constantly growing themselves in this dangerous journey, coupled with BN Pictures's production that has continued to perform admirably, these are the only values that have held the anime's virtues well. But the Harvest Festival arc was a mistake to essentially the same production staff team that has been helming the anime since the very beginning, and the cracks are now starting to show of the team's laziness in just trying to keep constant and debunkering the hype of manga readers to oblivion. This is not how you want your favourite show to kill off fans who have been expecting more, and I can already tell that Season 3 is the black sheep of the franchise, the dropping point for people, especially if they are anime-onlies. Conclusion: read the manga portion of the Harvest Festival arc, I can swear on my life that you can finish reading it in an episode or 2's runtime and find yourself more satisfied with how the manga is the better executed version overall. Another problem with Season 3 is the music. Da Pump has pumped out (see the pun there) 2 great OP songs for the prior seasons, so the choice to go for FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE to grace the season's OP, kinda is a shocker. I can tell you that the boy group's song repertoire is hideously average at best, and "Giri Giri Ride it out" is quite possibly the worst OP yet for its genericness and constant repetitiveness. You'd think that the ED is going to be any better, but it's not. Wednesday Campanella's ED is to put it simply: an eargasm that pierces your ears so much to bleed blood out of it. The entire song is actually fine...once you get the build-up to the chorus section, and OMG, it is one heck of an unpleasant song to listen to, bar none. Season 3 is the season where the OST is a humongous crash-and-burn of a Royal Flush (in a bad way), and for very good reason. Overall, I still need to ask the ONE question that will make or break the audience's expectations going forward: Despite issues with the season overall, does this make you still want to come back to the franchise for yet another sequel? I know that NHK will continue to gush and justify for Season 4's existence somehow, but just taking a look at Season 3 now, it just doesn't seem that the manga-to-anime translation will be any better. It's not a total lost cause where the story, characters and production still continue to hold up, but it's just that the overall atmosphere, at this point, doesn't provide the incentive to continue any further. So, until then, read the manga if you can. This is a momentary dark blemish for Iruma-kun fans, and devi-finitely not a season that's executed well. I will come back for Season 4, that's for sure, but it remains to be seen if there is any improvement at all if or when it returns in the future.

I mean it.go read the manga those who are not satisfied and you'll realize what I meant. the anime LACKS ORIGINALITY, ARTS, ELEMENTS, SUITABLE EFFECTS that is shown in manga. but above all the flaw is the arts.they are shown in the manga as in top quality yet in anime trashiest and sh*ttiest quality. theyare overdoing animations in few occasions but usually its not making impact with arts at all.this STYLE is not suited for anime as shown in manga. in the anime they are only putting much effort into cringiest things you could find such as "waifu elements" ,"OP MC type" ,"adding supportive characters OP elements "and thats all. the original wasn't this cringe or childish it added up with the flow of plot, which is essentially "netherworld and only human".the anime is taking that apart and putting effort into useless things. I personally dont think that the animations are THAT bad, it's just they are simply focusing into characters too much and overdoing it contrasting simplest things on animations

Season 3 is the show's take on the tournament arc... monster hunter / harvest moon style. 19/21 episode of this season is dedicated to the harvest festive which is just go to the forest and gather food. The rarer the better. While fun and action filled it had some pacing issues. For one thing the "festival" took over the show leaving very little for character development that the manga went out of it's way to portray. The Characters paired up and their skill advanced is the focus but no character growth or arcs in the show which left it a bit empty. Plot Story 7/10 It's aninteresting take on the tournament arc. One thing I appreciated is that the rules were set out clearly from the beginning and nobody was excepted from them, not even the MC/s. The students were paired up and each given a different path to walk keeping it interesting. Characters 7/10 The side cast's relationships & skill sets got show casted in this season giving them more presence. While they showed more development with character growths last season here it was more about their bonds which isn't too bad but not as satisfying. Some of the better moments in the show was when their friendships shined through. Art & animation 7/10 Pretty decent, colors vibrant and animation smooth. Fun Factor 7.5/10 Lots of action, quite a few cute moments and over all not bad. It did feel a bit empty compared to the past seasons though. It followed the manga but focused more on the action rather than the character development moments. Overall 7/10 A fun season but once the harvest festival was over it give the feeling of being a filler arc. Still, recommend it for any Iruma fans.

Better than the first season but worse than the second season. Still, this anime does not disappoint. The characters are well written and Barbatos Bachiko only confirms it. I never thought that I would like this pink character so much. This season, most of the characters important for the plot get power ups. The romance thread is still neglected for some reason, but at least something has moved on this topic now. Technically and musically, the anime is on a similar level as previous seasons. However, I am still waiting for the development of the plot that has been mentioned several times before: Iruma forthe Lord of Hell!

Honestly a good season, I did put the speed up until episode seven but it was enjoyable from then on out. Plus we saw side charactera time from time which was awesome to get to learn about them more. The characters were also well rounded to be serious smart but also a but funny even in situations you may not know what you get. The art style was beautifully done plus most of the time I could barely predict the plot which was amazing. This would be great for people who may actually want to know if they should or shouldn't waste their time.

REVIEW 2.0 FOR THIS SEASON ------------------------------------------ The first half of this season that was fully dedicated to the Harvest Festival went to the fucking shitter, but it bounced back in the second half like recoil on Prison School's tits and more. It's an amazing series. WATCH IT. Some of the harvest festival episodes are skippable, they don't matter that much if you don't care about the side characters. Only skip if you really hate it, cause after you finish the season you will be craving for more. The animation is decent, characters are the same as ever. There is more focus on the side characters this season thanthe previous ones, which is fine. They are quite interesting and Iruma still has the spotlight. Also more development between Ameri and Iruma. Also, Clara is amazing. Clara is god. Clara is adorable, I love Clara. She's so cute and childlike, I love it. I want to be Clara. Especially in the last episode. Seeing Clara have fun is so satisfying and fulfilling. The scene where she and Iruma play together made my day. Life truly has meaning when Clara exists. She alone is enough reason for you to see this series to the end. Azz is also pretty cool. Bro is lowkey gay. He got a power-up this season too. Love the main trio's chemistry. Happy friendships with a darker plot scattered through episodes. I've never seen a series like this before. Not even MHA can compare to this. I LOVE MHA and rate it higher than this, but it's mostly because of the fanfiction potential. The series on its own is a 7/10 at best. Iruma series has gotten a 9/10 just for what it is and nothing more. That's impressive. If you've watched the previous seasons, watch this one too. If you haven't watched anything related to Iruma, watch the series!!!

Here's the thing: If you liked the first two seasons, you'll like this. Things keep developing and it's an interesting and entertaining season. If you didn't like the first two... well I guess you probably won't like this one but also why are you even here. Go watch something that you'll probably like. Overall the series is very good and judging by the manga as of right now is going in a good direction. The anime doesn't come out fast enough for them to need to start putting in random anime only episodes so there's little worry on that front. There's a few parts that could'vebeen done better but overall they feel like nitpicks. The main appeal for me are the characters. The ones introduced are interesting and they don't fall out of focus as the series moves on. Also, despite the cast being pretty large it doesn't feel bloated. Story 8/10 Art 9/10 Character 10/10 Enjoyment 8/10 Overall 9/10

It feels like this season was full of fillers. Most people didn't like this season, not because of the art, music, or the plot. They didn't like it because at most 8 episodes of content are provided in 21 long episodes. The art and voice acting were excellent. It is impossible to comment on the plot since you can't see the flow of a river if it is too slow. I gave 6 for the sake of the visuals. But if it was half the length with the same content, I would easily give an 8 or maybe a 9. So my suggestion is: if somehow season 4 airsjust wait for a recap and go watch the recap of this season.

A Devi Good Show. Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is one of those shows that you can binge watch an entire two seasons of in a day and not know where the time went because of it’s incredibly charming writing, impeccable comedic timing and it’s endearing cast of loveable characters… which is exactly what I did before the third season dropped because I had slept on this anime for so long. The way Iruma-kun’s commitment to gag humour is used to create a wonderfully spooky yet, logically consistent world embodied with hilariously quirky yet, believably realised characters is not only genius, but addicting to watch. Ithelps more when you binge watch it, and this absolutely applies to season 3 which is basically one big Shonen Jump tournament arc. A good one too, with musical numbers. Theres always got to be musical numbers! Season 3 manages to hit that sweet-spot between being a believably semi-series Shonen Jump tournament thing without compromising it’s commitment to the gag’s and bits sprinkled throughout. With the misfit class needing to rank up to rank 4 unless they face being booted out of their hard earned, royal classroom, a few of them get some incredibly good character developments. Unfortunately, because this is an arc that primarily focuses on action, the rough-around-the-edges animation really stands out this time around. There are times when the animators get to flex, but unlike the previous season where a lot of the combat looked great and felt impactful, I felt like there wasn’t anything on par to say, Amelie vs Giant Rat. Oh yeah! And there’s a criminal lack of Amelie this season! She’s like, the best character! (Apart from Iruma of course… and Clara, and Alice, and Bachiko, and Kerori, and Sabnock and Balam, and Clara’s Family, and Alices mom, and so on and so forth.) This arc is also long, which isn’t necessarily bad, but considering the previous two seasons had a much quicker pace it really stands out. A lot of my complaints are just personal taste though, and I still highly, HIGHLY recommend Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun to anyone who hasn’t seen it and love gag comedies. It’s one of those comedies that manages to advert your exceptions every time you think you know where the punchline is going to land and it’s more hilarious for it. I hope our favourite soft boy Iruma gets a season 4, especially now that the demon realms status-quo is is about to shake up in interesting ways. 8/10 Great.

Season 3 of Iruma-kun is great in my opinion! Not the best, by all means, but still going quite well For those who read my preliminary review, the show starts rather slow, true, but it gradually portraits all the Misfits' quirks and characteristics. The Harvest Festival is akin to a tournament arc you'd see in most shounen anime which almost instantly makes it worthwhile. We get to learn a lot more about the supporting characters as well and even though we're all rooting for Iruma, we start to favour them too. The Festival is engaging, action-packed and most importantly fun (to keep this spoiler-free) - which, let'snot forget, is the point of this show. It's supposed to be a light-hearted comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously! Fantastic arc! I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! I can't wait to see what's in store for Season 4 as the ending of this one opened doors to many interesting future developments! I highly recommend it! P.S Here's a little life hack with slower-paced shows - leave a few weeks for more episodes to accumulate (or wait for the whole season to drop if you have the patience). That way, when you start watching, you'll find the show does not feel like a drag as much and flows faster and more smoothly.

Iruma-kun was an anime that worked very well as a wonderful “Saturday Morning Cartoon” type of show. Decent comedy, action, and the lovable characters shaped what were two solid seasons. While this season did have some decent moments, it ultimately got hampered by staying in the same setting for most of the season, surrounding the Harvest Festival, which felt a very long, drawn-out arc. It moves away from the school setting, which was where the charm for me was, and into a competition of sorts between the classes. The season jumps around between characters, and balances development out for them, but it forgets what themain enjoyment point was, which was seeing Iruma and his two best friends, Asmodeus and Clara, interact and have fun with each other. The animation and production overall was fine, as it was around the same quality as the first two seasons had. The big scenes looked good, and the meaningful ones were well executed. As for the OP a bit disappointing, and the ED was quite awful. The biggest problem though, was that even though each character had their own developments, they didn’t feel very meaningful, rather, they felt quite shallow. Sure, each of them has their breakthroughs and good moments, but they were unfortunately quite forgettable. This might just be a me thing, but the characters that most people love most (Ameri, Clara, Asmodeus), just didn’t show up enough, and I just didn’t care about the other characters to really be invested in the story. One new character who I did enjoy watching was Bachiko, who was quite the funny mentor for Iruma, but I wish she got more screen time as well. Ultimately, the season simply starts out too slow for me to care for what happened at the end of the arc, and I wanted it to be over. I did enjoy some of the season to an extent, but nowhere near the level I did for Season 1 and 2, which delivered entertainment at more of a consistent quality than this season, which felt comparatively boring. Let’s face the facts though, Iruma-kun provides NHK with quite the return of funds, and unless something major changes, I doubt this will be the last season of the show. Is it a lack of passion from the staff? Just poor direction? Or something more? It just felt something was missing from this season. I’m not gonna lie, it felt a little lazy, with the constant recaps shown, and the dragging with the needless cliffhangers. I really hope that this season was a one-off, and Iruma-kun can get back to being the charming show it once was. Let’s hope the money didn’t get to their heads. I will say this though. If you haven’t watched this season of Iruma-kun yet, a binge might function better and make you enjoy it more than how I watched this, which was in a weekly format. If a Season 4 is on the horizon, I hope it can get paced better, with more intrigue than this season provided.

"Dear Iruma-kun fans, the lovable human dork is back and better than ever"...is what I WISH I can tell you. But boy, oh boy, Season 3 is to put it simply: a slogfest. For the 2nd time in a row, I need not mention that mangaka Osamu Nishi's Mairimashita! Iruma-kun a.k.a Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is a juggernaut of a manga that is and still continues to be seralized weekly in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shonen Champion to high praise and fanfare amongst the hardcore Iruma-kun community since its start in 2017. Along with the anime's debut since Fall 2019 under the likes of Japan's primarybroadcast network NHK that has continued to reel in anime-onlies about the brillance of the work, brought to the small screen for about 3 years now with the 2 seasons prior. After the insane high of Season 2 following the Walter Park arc and concluding the First Term Saga story part of the manga, Season 3 is back to trail the Second Term Saga, starting with the Special Tutor Training and Harvest Festival arcs (following the mid of Volume 11 to mid of Volume 17 of the manga) of watching Iruma-kun and the Misfit Class follow through the promises of what it means to be in the ultimate Babyls class of all: the Royal One. The caveat being that if they don't raise their ranking status to Rank 4 Dalet, they will be kicked out of the class. Sounds simple as molasses, ain't it? It's plain as heck, but still drives the great and progressing story at the same fundamental core as it always has been for both Seasons 1 and 2, feeling a sense of home for Iruma-kun fans, both manga readers and anime-onlies. But in the process, adaptations can still falter if there feels like something is missing, and I'm pretty sure that you can agree with me that Season 3, bites the Iruma-kun's franchise as the worst season to grace the anime scene yet thus far. I would not be surprised that NHK will greenlight a Season 4 in the future to adapt the Music Festival arc, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Iruma-kun, Asmodeus "Azz-Azz", Clara, and the rest of the Misfit Class are about as typical as you can expect if you've been following the anime since its inception, though each of them great in their own right to showcase Osamu Nishi's spectacular writing and crisp artwork, given that at the time of this review, we're now halfway into the adaptation of the overall manga's paces. As mentioned, the Special Tutor Training and Harvest Festival arcs are meant to prepare Iruma-kun and gang on their 1st Year's graduating courses before heading into their 2nd Year, with the arcs being the first in line to progress. And over the course of the run, they would come out better and stronger, aided by the Babyls teachers that would bring them to higher status, mainly the goal of the Harvest Festival arc: being winners a.k.a the Young King, and that's it. The problem with the adaptation of the 1st of 3 graduating Festival arcs is of course, the adaptation translation from manga to anime. The anime has been rather well-paced since the beginning, so there is no short of great content to adapt throughout its entire episodic run. The issue is that with the pacing, especially with Season 3, while it re-creates the exact same sense of bewilderment of what's to come, you could feel that you are watching the manga's adaptation at a snail's pace. I know I did, and this effect only started to show by the 3rd or 4th episode of the same goddamn arc that felt like little bits of progress, and what resulted the fact that it ultimately never anchored the anime version of how the manga was illustrated at this time, with some of the most nail-biting, jaw-dropping artwork that Osamu Nishi has drawn in her lifetime, being foreboding and expectant of what's to come. That sense of bewilderment is totally gone in the anime, and by the end of each progressing episode, I find myself echoing this over and over again: "When is this long-winded arc going to be done?" Yes, you could argue the fact that Iruma-kun and Co. are constantly growing themselves in this dangerous journey, coupled with BN Pictures's production that has continued to perform admirably, these are the only values that have held the anime's virtues well. But the Harvest Festival arc was a mistake to essentially the same production staff team that has been helming the anime since the very beginning, and the cracks are now starting to show of the team's laziness in just trying to keep constant and debunkering the hype of manga readers to oblivion. This is not how you want your favourite show to kill off fans who have been expecting more, and I can already tell that Season 3 is the black sheep of the franchise, the dropping point for people, especially if they are anime-onlies. Conclusion: read the manga portion of the Harvest Festival arc, I can swear on my life that you can finish reading it in an episode or 2's runtime and find yourself more satisfied with how the manga is the better executed version overall. Another problem with Season 3 is the music. Da Pump has pumped out (see the pun there) 2 great OP songs for the prior seasons, so the choice to go for FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE to grace the season's OP, kinda is a shocker. I can tell you that the boy group's song repertoire is hideously average at best, and "Giri Giri Ride it out" is quite possibly the worst OP yet for its genericness and constant repetitiveness. You'd think that the ED is going to be any better, but it's not. Wednesday Campanella's ED is to put it simply: an eargasm that pierces your ears so much to bleed blood out of it. The entire song is actually fine...once you get the build-up to the chorus section, and OMG, it is one heck of an unpleasant song to listen to, bar none. Season 3 is the season where the OST is a humongous crash-and-burn of a Royal Flush (in a bad way), and for very good reason. Overall, I still need to ask the ONE question that will make or break the audience's expectations going forward: Despite issues with the season overall, does this make you still want to come back to the franchise for yet another sequel? I know that NHK will continue to gush and justify for Season 4's existence somehow, but just taking a look at Season 3 now, it just doesn't seem that the manga-to-anime translation will be any better. It's not a total lost cause where the story, characters and production still continue to hold up, but it's just that the overall atmosphere, at this point, doesn't provide the incentive to continue any further. So, until then, read the manga if you can. This is a momentary dark blemish for Iruma-kun fans, and devi-finitely not a season that's executed well. I will come back for Season 4, that's for sure, but it remains to be seen if there is any improvement at all if or when it returns in the future.
