a lot of other news sources calls it part 1 of culling games so this is definitely split cours this time maybe to reduce the complains of animators of having yet another tight production time or schedule

How much more do they need to fully adapt the manga? I heard that the ending was quite controversial as usual and I wonder if the studio will do something about it.

Yes, that’s why anything post shibuya sucks big time. I wish whoever’s in charge of deciding which anime gets a sequel chooses better anime to continue animating.
