A plot that always keeps the audience guessing what is going to happen next. Still, the intensity is simultaneously balanced by history and the crazy comedy.
If you are up for all this then, Golden Kamuy is the show for you. With the overwhelming response, the second season got the third installment to Golden Kamuy was inevitable.
The 24th episode left the anime fans craving for more, and now the wait is over. Read through the article for every detail you need regarding the franchise.
1.Release Date
The official website for the Golden Kamuy TV anime announced on March 14 that the previously announced third season of Golden Kamuy will be broadcast from October 5, 2020. The release date was announced in a new trailer for the upcoming season.
In addition to this, a lot of information has been teased over a time which has been compiled in the article. Make sure to check the theory section below where I talk about the factors such as COVID-19 affect the production of Golden Kamuy season 3.
2.Theory Section
The show was so well accepted among the Japanese audiences that the Spiderman movie was marketed using the franchise.
I. Financial Standings
In 2019 the official website confirmed that the manga had sold 10 million copies. The series won the ninth Manga Taishō award in 2016. There is no official information about the money made by the franchise.
II. Animation Quality
The animation is not the best part of the anime, but each character displays their emotions and disgust so vehemently; it is hard not to appreciate them and laugh.
Some scenes weren’t as appealing as it could be. It got the point across, though, and I can appreciate why they upped the gore in certain areas in the narrative. It displayed the stakes and importance of the respective scenes. (Score- 7/10)
III. Was season two any good?
This already very intriguing story has been continued to be executed well, and the second season indulges in the continued quest of Sugimoto and his ever daring adventures.
Every single character is a badass at will, and the transition from comedy to drama is done very well. The character development is amazingly done, and compliments to the rollercoaster of a story.
One of the good things about the show is that it makes the audience care about characters like Hijikata. Even though he isn’t a prominent figurehead like Sugimoto, his past made him evolve as a person to where he is today. (Score-8/10)
IV. Satoru Noda’s Health
The latest 21st volume of the manga was released in March 2020 and was released at regular intervals, so assuming the regularity, the writer is in good health.
3.Key Visuals
When the third season’s announcement was made with it, a beautiful Key Visual was also released.
A new teaser was released, which showed scenes from the upcoming third installment of Golden Kamuy and increased the already ongoing craving for the third season.
A new trailer shows few scenes from the previous seasons, while the others emphasized the goal of Asirpa teaming up with Sugimoto later on. The question remains, will the lost Ainu gold land in their laps?
5.Recap
The second season picks up directly from where the first season ends.
An early alliance sparks between Edogai Yasaku and Tsurumi. Tsurumi is one of the key antagonists in this show. He shows his ruthless behavior again, although some could find his sarcastic tone and unpredictable personality to be most welcoming.
The pair of Saichi Sugimoto and his companion, Asirpa, became inseparable, and their adventures continue with even more stakes on the line. Joining them is also Yoshitake Shiraishi, the goofball butt monkey.
While many see him as comic relief with his carefree attitude, he plays valuable roles this season.
The plot also brings in new characters like Kiyohiro Suzukawa, a deceptive man who can slip into the ranks of enemies, and his character also bring some suspense into the plot.
This season can get deep and emotional; there’s also a decent amount of lighthearted moments, which makes it an overall show.
