The Asterisk War (a.k.a. Gakusen Toshi Asutarisuku) is a Japanese action anime series based on the same-named light novel series. The light novel series, written by Y Miyazaki and drawn by Okiura, debuted on September 25, 2012. It was highly successful and was translated into a manga series a year later.
A-1 Pictures acquired the material intending to adapt it into an anime television series, and Season 1 of The Asterisk War aired in Japan on October 3, 2015.
The program was a smashing success with both lovers of the original material and newcomers and was quickly renewed for a second season. Season 2 of The Asterisk War launched a year later on April 2, 2016, and fans have been anxiously awaiting word on a third season ever since. Here is what we currently know about Season 3’s chances.
The Asterisk War Season 3 Release Date
The Asterisk War Season 3’s renewal status is still unknown. There has been no word on its renewal or cancellation, which seems to be the situation with many anime these days.
It’s a well-known truth that animes take a long time to develop; compared to American television episodes, which can often be recorded and delivered within a year, they need far more effort.

We may likely have a third season, particularly given the continuous nature of the light novel series upon which it is based. The last volume was published on November 25, 2021.
Another telltale clue that the television series is not done is its availability on Netflix. Netflix exclusively acquires popular and potential anime series. And if the series’s original production company, A-1 Pictures Inc., chooses not to renew it, Netflix may do so. Netflix has done this several times in the past, and I believe The Asterisk War is deserving of a renewal.
If The Asterisk War is not canceled, I believe season 3 will be ready in late 2022. I won’t be shocked if we hear about its renewal very soon. This page will be updated when new information becomes available.
The Asterisk War Plot
The Asterisk War occurs in the not-too-distant future when the Earth suffers from tremendous economic hardship. Before the program’s events, an impact event called Invertia destroys most of the world’s cities and creates beings endowed with abilities known as the Genestella.
In the upheaval that followed Invertia, the world’s power balance changed, favoring megacorporations, and an organization named the Integrated Enterprise Foundation came to prominence.
The anime is set against this background and follows the narrative of a young Genestella boy named Ayato Amagiri, who has just moved to one of the world’s six top Genestella schools, where Festas are conducted to test pupils’ mettle in combat.
Ayato enrolls at the fifth-ranked Seidoukan Academy in the city of Asterisk. Although Ayato enters the school with enthusiasm, he has a hard start when he stumbles into a girl named Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld undressed and is challenged to a battle by her.

To Ayato’s relief, the battle between the two is broken up by Claudia Enfield, head of the Seidoukan Academy student council. Despite a rocky start with Julis, Ayato gradually becomes acquainted with her, and the two become great friends throughout the episode.
As the episode proceeds, it becomes clear that Ayato is uninterested in Festas and has attended the Seidoukan Academy to investigate the unexplained disappearance of his sister, who was once a student there.
Nonetheless, as a member of a Genestella school, Ayato is compelled to participate in Festas, which he begins with the assistance of Julis.
The couple participates in many Festas throughout the program, but their abilities are ultimately tested at the Phoenix Festa.
Although Ayato and Julis proceed to the next level of the competition by defeating two formidable sisters, their advancement becomes uncertain when Ayato’s abilities are locked off. With word spreading of Ayato’s lack of abilities, Ayato and Julis must devise a strategy to win the tournament.
