3rd season will adapt Vol 7 and 8
4th season could have vol 9 and 10
They can complete the story in the 5th season with the last arc having 3 volumes, although it will be a lot to do in a single season and they will have to cut a lot of detail and side character moments which won't be any good for their character development but it's likely their only option.

| @OVERLORD_05 ok, but S1 used Volumes 1-4 at 13 episodes and S2 used Vols. 5&6 at 12 eps... most 'non-haters' i've read online think S1 cut too much and S2 was paced nigh on perfectly. why would studio Asread STILL keep to the 2 Volumes per 12-ish episode formula ONLY to drop the ball TERRIBLY in your theory by using 3 Volumes for the final season? are there utterly and completely un-cuttable arcs in Vol. 7 that move into Vol. 8 for their conclusion? did nothing in Vol. 6 move into Vol. 7? was that why Vol. 7 wasn't used in S2? what about Vol. 8 allows you to 'cut it off' with just Season 3? does nothing in Vol. 8 move into Vol. 9? would you say Vol. 9 start something wholly different and new from Vol. 8 that wouldn't need to be in a Season with Vols. 7&8? does the Vol. 9 'something' continues into Vol. 10? see where i'm going here? unless you can see the patterns used in the first 13 eps. in S1 VS the Vols.1-4; THEN do the same thing with the 12 eps. in S2 VS the Vols. 5&6... that 2 books per Season formula isn't set in stone. |

are there utterly and completely un-cuttable arcs in Vol. 7 that move into Vol. 8 for their conclusion? did nothing in Vol. 6 move into Vol. 7? was that why Vol. 7 wasn't used in S2?
what about Vol. 8 allows you to 'cut it off' with just Season 3?
does nothing in Vol. 8 move into Vol. 9?
would you say Vol. 9 start something wholly different and new from Vol. 8 that wouldn't need to be in a Season with Vols. 7&8?
does the Vol. 9 'something' continues into Vol. 10?
see where i'm going here? unless you can see the patterns used in the first 13 eps. in S1 VS the Vols.1-4; THEN do the same thing with the 12 eps. in S2 VS the Vols. 5&6... that 2 books per Season formula isn't set in stone.

Season 3 will have Vol 7 and 8 if you have seen the PV's and trailer, also their story has a connection. Season 4 could have 9 and 10 as their story is connected as well, although they could adapt 11 as well if they adapt it as 4 episodes per volume and it will have an amazing cliffhanger as well. I guess looking at the length and content of the volumes Season 4 could adapt three novels instead of two. Season 5 will definitely have Vol 12 and 13 together since they are basically single volume cut in two and it's the climax.
I admit I was pretty biased when I said last season would also have vol 11 because I thought the season would be boring if all it had was war. But looking at the length of Vol 9 and especially 10, that season could also adapt vol 11 as well. That would also give them the ability to have the extra chapter of Vol 11 which is pretty good and important in the beginning of last season as well. All this would obviously work if we get to see the whole story in Anime so let's hope for the best and see how the studio handles it.
| @OVERLORD_05 aha! well thanks for the pattern analysis! so by your reading: S3 7&8 S4 9&10&11(probable) S5 tiny piece of 11&12&13 so you're feeling the shift out of the 2 Vols./12eps. pattern would not be 'now', but the 'middle' Season between 'now' and the finale. mhm! i'm thinking if i was charting things out, taking the 'connected' novels and placing them into a single season... without a cour break... would make the fans happier. also, since 'Caretaker of the Goddess' Dorm' was Asread's ONLY project other than Arifureta in recent years, and that one was only 10 episodes, AND 'COTGD' was Asread's ONLY solo project since Spring 2016's 'Big Order (TV)'... strangely enough ALSO just 10 episodes long... are you sure Asread can handle 12 episodes of Arifureta solo? they did 'I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job' which was a solo project of 12 eps. but... that was 2013. after a decade plus a year, i would hope Asread has improved significantly since then... even with their multiple duo-lead animation studio projects. i personally think that the production values in 'COTGD' were astoundingly awesome compared to Arifureta S1&2... even adding the god tier WhiteFox into the mix... |
