The season of Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible will have a restart from Episode 1 in April 2023 for the Spring season, similar to what Golden Kamuy Season 4 had to do. The first three episodes of Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible are currently available to watch on HIDIVE with new episodes released every Tuesday.

Now with Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible (produced by Kadokawa), fans aren’t wondering which series could, unfortunately, be next.
