The season’s first episode is “Gekijō-gata Akui” (translated as “Theatrical Malice”) and will be a longer than average 90 minutes long. Kadokawa will be playing the start of the season in Japanese theaters for a couple of weeks, beginning on August 30. Crunchyroll screened the first episode on July 5 at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, as part of its large offering of panels and premieres.

It already has previous seasons and OVAs streaming on its platform.
Crunchyroll gave this description for the anime:
Natsuki Subaru, an ordinary high school student, is on his way home from the convenience store when he finds himself transported to another world. As he’s lost and confused in a new world where he doesn’t even know left from right, the only person to reach out to him was a beautiful girl with silver hair. Determined to repay her somehow for saving him from his own despair, Subaru agrees to help the girl find something she’s looking for…
