'Noragami Aragoto' Season 3 Definite? Release Date Most Likely Late 2016 Or Early 2017

Fan theories point to a late 2016 or early 2017 release date of the anime "Noragami Aragoto" season 3, according to a community discussion at Reddit.com.

Googleflax, in response to user KhUnlimited, said the best that fans of the Japanese manga series can expect would be for a release date of "Noragami Aragoto" season 3 being at the end of 2016.

"Anime in general rarely get a second season, and the fact that Noragami got one actually baffled a lot of people (though they were happy, it was just really unexpected due to it's slightly lower budget and anime-original ending)," Googleflax wrote.

"However, it seems like it's usually harder for a show to get a second season that it is for it to get a third season, but that doesn't mean it's easy."

According to the otaku (a term used to describe anime fans), there are usually two reasons that anime television shows get another season - either the first season was profitable or that there is enough material written to run another season.

The second season of "Noragami," which was called "Noragami Aragoto," worked with the 20 chapters already written in the manga.

While there indeed is enough material to run a third season, "producers tend to want a little more wiggle room and probably wouldn't want to start making an anime that would end where the source material currently ends."

The fan added that producers of the show would "also need a good ending point and the current chapter is not a good one."

The fan theory said that anime fans were pretty patient when it comes to upcoming seasons, especially regarding anime based on manga.

"Anime fans have been conditioned to hope for sequel seasons, but never expect them."

But When Will, a website that tracks release dates of shows, is seeing a Winter 2017 release of the "Noragami Aragoto" season 3 sequel.
