Original author Yukiya Murasaki commented, "Congratulations on the third season of the anime! I never even imagined it would happen, so it still feels like a dream! Looking back, the second season coincided with a very difficult time. But thanks to the staff who created such a wonderful anime despite all that, and to all the viewers who enjoyed the anime and gave us so much support, Diablo and the others will be moving and talking in color again! Thank you so much! I'm really looking forward to it airing!!"
Masaaki Mizunaka, who plays Diablo, said, "'How Not to Die' is a very special and meaningful work to me, as it was the first time I had the opportunity to play a leading role in an anime. I couldn't be happier that a third season of this work has been decided. I will do my best, just as I did with the first season, so that everyone can enjoy it! Please look forward to the anime broadcast!"
Yu Serizawa, who plays Shera, said, "W-what?! I'm so glad I didn't give up!!! I'm truly grateful for all the support and love!! How Not to Die is a work that has given me so many firsts. There are scenes that I can't show my dad, I met and fell in love with Azumi Waki, who plays Rem, I got to sing the ending theme as my first single, I collaborated with a senior artist from avex, and it always gives me new encounters and experiences. I wonder what will happen in season 3... I can only look forward to it!!! Please look forward to it!"
Azumi Waki, who plays Rem, commented, "Season 3!?!? Thank you, thank you so much!! I'm so happy to be able to be involved in this beloved work again with my beloved characters and everyone I love. I'm looking forward to having lots of small, cute squabbles with Shera again after so long. I'm going to put Rem down now and tackle the recording so that I can give an even bolder performance than before!"
