The third season of the television series The Anna Hottenmeyer's Show, created by Wendee Lee and Kira Buckland is known as Anna's 3 Hott! (アンナの3ホット! or An'na no 3 hotto!) in Japanese and The Third Anna Hott's Series (Die dritte Anna-Hott-Reihe. The series follows Anna and Susumu, two female protagonists (who are voiced by Heather Walsh and Crimson Ruiz, respectively) as they hang out, enjoy themselves, and embark on excursions around the nation with Matt, John, and Emily, three of their many friends.

The season officially premiered both in the United States of Robloxia and in Canada, simultaneously by the Bloxia Broadcasting Company on RBC and RBS on October 22, 1999, before airing on Avast Television on November 1, 1999, lasting for 47 episodes in total and ending in October 20, 2000. Internationally in later broadcasting, the season premiered in Neo-Japan on Namco TV, Fuji-TV, and NHK on January 10, 2000 and ran until January 3, 2001. In the Tovokian Federation and Ro-Germany, the season premiered on November 22 and 31, 2002, respectively.

The third season of the show was produced in both Neo-Japan and the United States. Following the December 1999 attacks in the United States, two episodes from the season were pulled. These episodes all had blood, gore, and a sequence in which a jet crashed into a building. Following this, the season had a one and a half-month break before returning with fresh episodes on February 6, 2000, and out of concern, the series's showing on Avast Television was discontinued for more than three months, before returning on July 21, 2000 with some episodes removed. The third season received positive reviews from critics and audiences.

Production

Wendee Lee and Kira Buckland revealed on August 9, 1998, that preparations for a potential third season were in the works with both RBC and RBS. This announcement came during the second season's development. The series at the time was very popular among adults and children between the ages of 7 and 13, most of whom were teens, in both the United States and Neo-Japan. The second season was shown to be a bigger success than the first when its first episode, "Anna and the Snow Day!" (The Winter is Here!) was televised for the first time Less than two weeks after the episode had been shown, on December 11, 1998, it was revealed that a third season was being developed at RBC with the show's creators serving as the episode's primary producers. The next day, it was revealed that the production of more than 45 episodes had been ordered. The series was now being produced and worked on by Neo-Japan and the United States, similar to the second season. The series was reportedly produced mostly by a live-action and animation firm due to its success in Neo-Japan.

SSimilar to the second season, Wendee Lee and Kira Buckland intended for the program to have an anime-like aesthetic. In contrast to the second season, animation was employed in every scene, and as a result, they engaged an additional 50 animators to complement the 100 animators who were hired a year earlier. For the animation, the crew created all of the backdrops and characters in an anime-style. Notably, The Anna Hottenmeyer's Show's predecessor, The Pokemon anime series, which debuted in April 1997, served as a major source of inspiration for the new anime style. Wendee Lee said they adored the series and wished to incorporate the aesthetic into their own work. When an episode is playing, there was a plan during development to add Japanese language text at the bottom. The third season was formally declared to be broadcasted by the Bloxia Broadcasting Company somewhere in late November or early December 1999. Following the listing for the last episodes of the second season, the third season's first episode was instead teased for a broadcast on October 22, 1999. Each episode's titles in both the third season and the series were taken from the titles that Neo-Japan used for their Japanese television programs.
