Previously announced back in May of 2016, the special episode of Is the Order a Rabbit? is now on track for a limited Japanese theatrical release in the Spring season of 2017.

The special episode will be screened at the Shinjuku Wald 9 theater in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan as well as other venues. The exact release date and venue list for the screenings of the special episode have not been released yet. More information will be made available later via the official Is the Order a Rabbit? home page and Twitter feed (@usagi_anime).

The original Is the Order a Rabbit? manga by Koi is serialized in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Max seinen manga magazine. The previous two seasons of Is the Order a Rabbit? are directed by Hiroyuki Hashimoto and feature animation by White Fox and Kinema Citrus. Crunchyroll describes the series as follows:

Kokoa arrives in a new town in spring to start high school. She gets lost and pops into a coffee shop called "Rabbit House", which turns out to be where she will live. All the characters are so cute - tiny but cool Chino, soldierly Lize, gentle and Japanese Chiyo, sophisticated but down-to-earth Sharo. They are joined by Chino's class mates Maya and Megu, and a regular at the shop, Mr. Blue-Mountain Aoyama. Everything is so cute every day at Rabbit House!
