Will Noragami Return For Season 3? Exploring The Hiatus And Future Possibilities

While the anime series Noragami, based on the manga created by the duo Adachitoka, has earned its fair share of fans around the world, its anime adaptation only ran for two seasons. Since its last airing in December 2015, fans have eagerly speculated about the possibility of a third season. Given the rich source material available in the manga, many are left wondering why there has been no official confirmation regarding a continuation of the series.

As the anime landscape evolves, it’s essential to consider the factors that influence production decisions. The world of anime is competitive, and studios often prioritize projects based on popularity, demand, and available resources. For Noragami, a combination of these factors may explain the long wait for news on a new season.

In this article, we'll delve into the history of Noragami, the reasons behind the hiatus, and what fans can expect moving forward. With the manga recently concluding its run, the potential for a revival is on the horizon, but only time will tell if Studio BONES will bring back this beloved series.

Will There Be Noragami Season 3?

Since the conclusion of Noragami Season 2 in December 2015, there has been no official word of the series returning in any capacity, whether as a third season, revival series, or anime feature film. Similarly, there has been no official reasoning for the lengthy delay behind a potential continuation of Noragami, especially given the amount of manga material left to be adapted into the anime medium. However, there are several signs as to why the anime’s hiatus may have taken place.

The Noragami anime series is produced by prolific Japanese animation house Studio BONES, which has been hard at work on new seasons and movies for My Hero Academia and its own original IP Metallic Rouge, both of which premiered new seasons this year. These projects potentially took priority over Noragami, which, while popular, never quite hit the same levels of widespread recognition and appreciation as Studio BONES’ other projects at the time. Given how much work animation studios take on already, plans to immediately continue Noragami beyond its second season may have fallen by the wayside.

Fortunately, not all hope is lost for a future in anime for Noragami, which concluded its manga run in January 2024. Rumors have since surfaced that a third season or sequel anime series to Noragami is currently in development at Studio BONES, though these rumors remain unsubstantiated and have not been commented on by Studio BONES or Noragami’s international distributor, Crunchyroll. Hopefully, Noragami fans will eventually see the return of the acclaimed anime series in some form, continuing the fantasy adventures of protagonist Hiroyi Iki and the rest of Adachitoka’s beloved story.

Noragami is available to stream now on Crunchyroll.
