Hello, I'd like to know which part of the original novel series does this Urban Rama arc adapt. Does it correspond to a single volume, is it an arc that unfolded throught several books or else? I'd also like to check hoy many volumes have been adapted so far, since there's little to no information clarifying that nor what the older anime took from the original novels source. Could someone bring some life in that regard? Thanks! Pretty appreciated

I have never read the LN so I don't know which volumes this covers, but I'm always glad to see more Orphen. Hopefully the production values are upped a bit.

With how mediocre the first two seasons were I didn't expect there to be more, the second season was an improvement though so hopefully this is another improvement.

Wait, Reiko Yoshida was the writer for the first two seasons??

Season 2 was definitely an improvement over the first so I'm looking forward to this one.

I casually enjoyed the first two seasons quite a bit.
I'm a bit surprised we're getting more, but I'll gladly take it! Smile

I wouldn't have expected this. I think the show is average at best but there was something there, I just think the budget was too low and it could have been written better.

What a coincidence, today just happens to be the birthday of Orphen's Latin American voice actor, Pablo Ausensi. Orphen is one of his most famous roles alongside Sonic in Sonic X, Van Freheit in Zoids and Prince Zuko in Avatar. Though that reminds me that this new version hasn't been dubbed into Neutral Spanish, I wonder if Crunchyroll can dub it now, though they'll have to work with a Chilean dubbing studio since that's were the original Orphen anime was dubbed if they want to keep the original voice cast, I think Cleo and Majic's voice actors are still active as well, though I'm not sure. However very few anime is dubbed into Spanish in Chile these days, the only major ones dubbed there were Edens Zero and Belle.

A little bit late but here's your answer: books 11 to 15. Season 4 will cover up until 20 and then that's a wrap. The next series is set 20 years in the future and was never translated to english.
