Discotek Media made a lot of folks happy with this pickup as they previously acquired the rights to the first two seasons of Kyo Kara Maoh! With the second season coming up soon for release on Blu-ray, the distributor has now revealed that they’ve acquired the OVA series and the third season for release. The OVA series is set for a December 2019 debut while the third season will come in 2020. Both of these releases will be in their original Japanese language with English subtitles as neither of these seasons were dubbed when Geneon Entertainment brought out the first two.
Based on the manga by Tomo Takabayashi, the series was directed by Junji Nishimura based on the series composition by Akemi Omode. Yuka Kudo handled the character designs with Studio DEEN handling the animation production.
