Crunchyroll will air the third season

transforming into whatever stimulates it and resurrecting itself after death.
His journey takes him from rock to wolf, and finally to a child, facing
learnings about life, human kindness and the harsh challenges posed by
the Nokker, enemies that threaten his existence and those of those
around him.
