I would love to see an official translation of the original light novels (there are now 19 in print) in the USA, though.

she also worked on sega hi school girls (also ignoring mendol and majisuka gakuen), so she seems to be makign an interesting career besides her singing.

I bet on 1000 bucks Funimation picks it up and after 3-4 weeks announces broadcast dub.

Cant wait for season 3<3 One of the best harem anime out there.

I'd preorder all 19 novels the second they're available. I've read up to 17 and started learning Japanese to not wait for Code Zero to translate whenever he wants (Though I'm super thankful because it's thanks to him that I've read 17 LNs). I keep asking @YenPress but at this point I don't know what they're waiting for. The manga sold well in the US and it obviously doesn't have the backing that other series get just because it has nudity lol

Dude, Funimation has the rights to this puppy. It has been a great seller for them. No way Funi is going to let Crunchyroll have it. Also, Funimation has a great dub cast that has done an incredible job (I still prefer the sub but the dub version is just as good. Think Steins;Gate which is excellent in both formats). I wouldn't be surprised if they actually simuldub this because they know it'll be a seller.

Finally, we get to see Sairaorg and all the crazy events of LNs 5 & 6. I hope that the scarcity of updates regarding the episode count means that they are planing 12+ eps. I'd say 16-20 would get them to animated everything without been rushed but I'm just so happy that it's back. The Harem King lives! Oppais for Life!

Season 3 will only have 12 episodes. That was already confirmed.

Just like the previous seasons, there will be 6 Volumes of BD/DVDs with 2 episodes each.

Season 3 covers up to volume 6 and 17 volumes have been released?
We'll never get to see that many anime seasons to cover it all and I can't be bothered to read the LN's Sad

If they waited until until the LN's final volume came out and it didn't have an anime at all until then, then they could have a longer series to cover more volumes.

well considering that the manga is released in the US, and its very popular, its possible that the light novels can be next. if SAO and Index can have their LNs released in the US , i'm pretty sure DxD would have theirs released in the US eventually unless the fanservice is beyond over the top that ratings board would be forced to have them in the adults only category which is a possibility since the manga itself have an M rating.
