How many episodes will this have for them to this correctly

the LN is long af, it's intended for Re: Zero to have 12 Arcs (used to be 11 Arcs but it changed).

- we are currently in Arc 8 rn, and it has 36 volumes of books as of now for the main story (S1 adapted Arc 1 -3 vol. 1-9, while S2 only adapted Arc 4 vol. 10- 15)
- 5 volumes EX-Light Novel for the side stories (Re: Zero EX),
- 5 IF-alternate stories web novel (Sloth, Greed, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony) and as far as I remember the Sloth IF story already turned into LN and Manga (the others may follow, but don't know when), and
- a bunch of SS-short side stories.

So you can imagine how long the series is right now.

@Myname_Nana There will definitely be 11 arcs and arc 11 will be the last arc. Because arc 7 and 8 are the same arc Nagatsuki already mentioned that. And arc 8 is going to be shortest arcs. If we sees as arc 7=8 then we could find out there are still 11 arcs.

Yes you are right. This series is really so long.

Dude it’s like 40 chapters already??? That’s longer than the first 3 arcs…

Look, it's no coincidence that all this doesn't prove the fact that the anime will present a season with 38-42 episodes, because in 2022 the season had an increase of 1 episode, leaving only 13 episodes in the season, if I believe in this third season that at least, making comparisons with the novel... I believe in the fact that there will be 24-25 episodes at most.

5’s moments shined because of Subaru which sure made sense but they focused less on him that arc. Personally and a majority of the community say arc 6 is the best and for good reason. I do not believe Regulus carries arc 5 to warrant you saying he is your favorite character. He is the 4th best antagonist in the show. I’d say it’s Todd then Louis and Betelgeuse and then Regulus. Subaru and Emilia were such an unstoppable force once her voice chimes. Shaula is also great as a mystery. I hope that when arc 6 gets animated that people will praise this show for what it is.

The amount of morons that dunk on s1 and s2, especially from the shounen community and specifically the aot fandom, is crazy. S2 was everything and more. Arc 4 is truly amazing. I’d rank the arcs 6,4,7 (from how far I read which is up to after the gladiator island phase and I just got burnt out) 5,1,3,2. 1 has insane potential if Tappei’s words echo to fruition once the story gets closer to the climax. I can come up with my own ideas on how he’ll do it and many others have in the community. The anime doesn’t do arc 1 justice. Reading it was really good but not many go back to read the s1 arcs. Arc 3 I heard that the community as a whole believed in those best episodes that the anime outshined the novels.

@iGotIceInMyRice Love to see the Todd appreciation here, I would highly recommend you catch up to the current arc, cuz its beginning volume is one of the best volumes in the series thus far, and I feel that experience alone will be worth it for you, Arc 8 so far is living up to the hype IMO. Mark my words, I hope that when Arc 7 gets animated in 10 years, Todd will be like the JJK Toji to the isekai community, cuz he is an amazing villain, especially when in comparison to most isekai villains that are one-dimensional power shots.

There will be more than 37 episodes, but the adaptation quality will easily decline in Arc 6. I had hoped for a full-quality adaptation of Arc 6, where the entire Augria Sand Dunes and the worldbuilding there would be animated perfectly, with additional anime context.

However, it seems we will only get dialogues to cut the animation budget and workload.

The production of Season 3 was a mess with delays. It should have been greenlit as soon as Season 2 finished, receiving a budget from Kadokawa so that White Fox wouldn't be forced to work on another anime for their income.

The Re:Zero when? In 25 years maybe remake.

Adaptation is such an important aspect. People who believe Frieren has good worldbuilding, when in reality, it lacks depth, while Re:Zero has the best worldbuilding in all of anime. However, the adaptation fails in many ways to showcase it. For instance, there are random mentions of the Great Waterfall in Arc 4, while omitting crucial details about what the Great Waterfall is in Arc 3. Lmao.

The only thing that can save Arc 6 is a split cours (with significant delays, akin to Bleach TYBW) and the huge success of Arc 5 in the anime, which is possible if animated decently.

Salty ? Because absolutely nobody will take you seriously if you say random things and think of you as the average fanboy on mal . Do you want that?

@Yubisoft Saying Frieren's World is trash is not being 'salty.' It is what it is. The story, after the 'CLICHE DEMON KING' killed, even as a shounen, is way lower-rated manga compared to other shounen fantasy series, proving how overrated it is and that it's only carried by Madhouse.

@Okeanix Mate, what are you blabbering on about, the production for S3 is stable, and if the release date is in 2025, then we are in for a treat as the production cycle for this season is the longest for White Fox ever been allocated period. Sengoku was taken so that the in-house staff at WF would have something else to work on whilst the pre-production for S3 closes at a good pace. Moreover, actual work on the anime has begun, and we can see better updates on it this year, as around May, the new director will be free from his schedule and will give it his all for the direction of the series. So IMO, I do not think that animation quality will decline in arc 6, since if S3 was given such a heavy set of episodes, then obviously there will be an increase in budget, and priority focus for this production to succeed and make profitable return on investment for Kadokawa.

@Nafis_Syed Director is free in date when S3 supposed to originally air.

Just flush S3 so nobody will see this.

Animation will be not good as S1, just slightly better than S2 which is not okay.

@Okeanix How the hell do you know what the overall animation quality will look like when even credible leakers such as Ice presume that it will range from S1 to S2 animation quality, meaning the overall quality actually cannot truly be judged until we get that new PV in AnimeJapan 2024. I have known your notoriety of doom-posting from the WCT server, but damn are you pessimistic as hell. Also, I am pretty certain that the Trapezium movie is already near completion, so the director should be more involved this year than you saying that they will be free when the date for s3 will originally air, which does not make sense on your end mate. There's a huge change in animation staff, so we cannot really judge animation quality, and you just presuming it will be shit adds more to your persistent pessimism.

@Nafis_Syed "I have known your notoriety of doom-posting from the WCT server,"

I don't have single message in WCT Server.

@Nafis_Syed S3 production started almost 1 year ago according to leaks. He probably worked on both at the same time (he hasn't worked on anything in the last 2 years apart from Trapezium and RZ). Although it would be good to know how long he has been working on Trapezium and how advanced its production is, but well.

I would say that the most logical date based on everything that is known to date is Fall 2024. I don't think Kadokawa (and maybe white fox) wants RZ to come out in 2025. Something big would have to happen for that pass (particularly, how they handle this production along with the production of sengoku cour 2 and 3, not cour 1, that one is finished or almost finished).

@Nafis_Syed I'm popular in the internet, unfortunately. Every platform references me. My profile has more than 100K+ Views and 5K+ Comments.

@Okeanix you are a weird person who keeps making fun of frieren, let people like what they like (frieren) if you are a re zero fan, focus on this anime, not make fun of other anime

@Okeanix Learn to grow up, bro, you can't force your tastes on everyone, other people also have their own tastes.You won't look cool by saying Re Zero's World Building is better than Frieren,That's the same as One Piece fans scolding you because they think One Piece's World Building is better than Re Zero.

@Ex-Machina_01 If One Piece fans can explain why the Rebel force of the world sits there for 1200+ episodes without doing anything, I will accept that it has good worldbuilding.
