The winter 2021 anime season of the Non Non Biyori Nonstop made its debut on January 10th, 2021. Kadokawa is handling its home video releases and previously set a solid schedule for this twelve-episode season. The show will be spread across four DVD and Blu-ray releases that began on March 24th, 2021 where the DVDs are priced at 8,000 yen and the Blu-rays at 9,000 yen.
Now, the third season is getting a new complete set that also includes the movie with a planned March 27th, 2024 release. It’ll be priced at 21,000 yen and have the TV series across two discs while the film is on its own disc. And with that set just under a month away, we now have a look at the full packaging spread and cover below.
The same as the first two series, this one was directed by Shinya Kawatsura based on the overall composition by Reiko Yoshida who also wrote the scripts alongside Fumihiko Shimo and Yuka Yamada. Mai Otsuka served as the character design and the project was animated at Silver Link.

The anime is based on the manga by Atto that began in 2009 under Media Factory, which has eleven volumes so far. Seven Seas Entertainment has the North American license for the manga.

Plot concept: When Hotaru moves from Tokyo to a tiny town in the rural countryside, she’s in for some serious culture shock: the nearest place that sells comics is 20 minutes away, the nearest video store is ten train stations down the line, and there are only three other girls and one boy in her entire school! Even though everything’s so different, there’s something about the laid-back atmosphere that makes her feel strangely comfortable. While she’ll certainly miss parts of her old life, there’s a whole lifetime of experiences waiting to be enjoyed with her new friends Renge, Komari, Natsumi, and Suguru! In the end, it’s who you’re with, not where you are, that makes a place your home!
