Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World is coming back for a third season. Fujimi Shobo confirmed it on October 25 at its Fantasia Bunko Grand Thanksgiving Festival 2026 online stream, with director Yuki Inaba and the full lead cast returning. No premiere date yet, so here's what's confirmed, where to watch Seasons 1 and 2 before it lands, and how the series ranks.
Quick answer
Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World Season 3 (*Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Arui wa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen*) was announced on October 25, 2026, with no release date yet. SILVER LINK and Studio Palette return as studios, Yuki Inaba directs and writes the scripts, and Yūsuke Kobayashi (Iska) and Sora Amamiya (Alice) lead the returning cast. Seasons 1 (2020) and 2 (2024–2025) stream on Crunchyroll with an English dub. According to SenpaiRanks, Season 1 holds a 6.81 consensus score and Season 2 a 6.73, mid-table for a light novel adaptation. The source is Kei Sazane and Ao Nekonabe's light novel, 16 volumes in Japan and published in English by Yen Press.
What got announced
The news is short: Season 3 is in production, and the Season 2 team is staying. Inaba keeps both the director's chair and series composition, and Kaori Yoshikawa returns as character designer. The returning cast list is complete:
- Yūsuke Kobayashi as Iska
- Sora Amamiya as Aliceliese Lou Nebulis IX
- Nao Shiraki as Mismis Klass
- Kaori Ishihara as Nene Alkastone
- Shunichi Toki as Jhin Syulargun
- Yumiri Hanamori as Rin Vispose
- Azumi Waki as Sisbell Lou Nebulis IX
There's no teaser video for Season 3 yet. The Season 2 trailer below is the best reminder of where the story stands.
The rough road from Season 2
Season 2 explains why fans will want a date before they celebrate. It premiered in July 2024, then went on hold after episode 4 in August 2024 because of production problems, and the remaining episodes didn't resume until April 2025. Keeping Inaba's staff together suggests the studio wants continuity this time, but nobody has given a season or year.
Where to watch Our Last Crusade
- Season 1 (2020, 12 episodes): Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed. It started on Funimation, which has since folded into Crunchyroll. Ranking page.
- Season 2 (2024–2025, 12 episodes): Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed. Ranking page.
- Season 3: Crunchyroll is the safe bet given it held the first two, but no streaming partner is confirmed yet. Ranking page.
How it ranks
Our Last Crusade is a Romeo-and-Juliet setup: Iska, a swordsman from a mechanized empire, keeps running into Alice, the ice witch princess of the enemy nation, and they fall for each other across the front line. On SenpaiRanks the first season scores 6.81 and the second 6.73. That's below the light novel adaptations that break out, which you can see side by side on our best light novel anime ranking. If you think the scores are too low, rate both seasons. Your votes go straight into the consensus number, which a single-score site like MyAnimeList won't show you.
If you want more war-fantasy light novel adaptations while you wait, Tanya the Evil is the obvious pick (see our Saga of Tanya the Evil movie and dub guide). Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2, Overgeared and the new Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 4 all cover the same isekai-and-fantasy ground.
