[死神坊ちゃんと黒メイド]

Season 3

Director: Yoshinobu Yamakawa
Studio: JC Staff, Shogakukan Music & Digital Entertainment
Starring: Natsuki Hanae, Ayumi Mano, Hochu Otsuka

Synopsis:
The young Duke's deadline to break the curse draws closer and the plan is to go back in time and confront Sade to stop her before she curses him in the first place.

Impressions:
With so many stories only getting partial adaptations or installment spaced years apart, it's nice to see a story completed at a decent clip. It helps that the manga run finished between Seasons 1 and 2. Anyway, we kick things off this season and it feels a little anticlimactic that Alice's mother is unceremoniously released from her enchanted sleep, but this ties into Sade's plotting from beyond the grave. In the previous season, I liked the development Daleth got and by the end of this season, we do quite a bit of development for Sade. Although a rather twisted individual, I appreciated the character the more we learned about her. As a pacing thing, I really like that we get a full episode for epilogue following the main conflict's resolution in the penultimate episode. This was a fun ride and if you've been enjoying the series so far, the conclusion is sure to satisfy. As with the previous two seasons, I recommend adding this to your collection.
