Sword Gai: The Animation Season 3: Premiere Date, Characters, Plot

With so many anime series on Netflix these days, one can easily end up missing out on a few of them. ‘Sword Gai: The Animation’ is one of those lesser known shows that follows the usual seasonal schedule similar to most others on the streaming platform. ‘Sword Gai’ is a solid show when it comes to its animation probably because of how much Netflix is willing to invest in it. The movements of characters and action scenes are extremely fluid. Even the detailing of the characters has been done in such an incredible way that they look completely different from your regular anime archetypes. The background scores are so great and you will probably end up listening to all of them even months after finishing the series.

However, apart from all the technical aspects, the anime does not really have much to offer. Its story is just a mere combination of several random events that eventually lead to nothing meaningful. It’s enjoyable to watch the incredibly vast universe of the show that involves many characters but this again impacts the character development in a negative way. If you enjoy watching anime shows that have nothing but breathtaking visuals and incredibly high-quality fight scenes, then you should give this one a shot. But if you’re looking for an anime that has some depth in its story, you might want to look in a different direction.

Sword Gai Season 3 Release Date: When will it premiere?

‘Sword Gai’ Season 1 premiered on March 23, 2018 on Netflix in an ONA format. This was followed by 12-episode season 2 which released on June 30, 2018.  Despite having a pretty good concept and an amazing world-building, the anime was not so well received by most fans because of its bland characters. Though it did have a lot of hype around it in the beginning, all of it is now starting to fade away. Netflix might still create a new season of this anime because of how much they’ve invested in such shows but the possibilities seem quite low now because of all the bad reviews that it has received. Even then, if we get any updates regarding its renewal or’Sword Gai’ Season 3 release date, we will update it right here in this section.
