May it be completely adapted if only to make the haters who don't know how to look away stay mad. Amen.

Lol, second cour of the fourth season which was announced a few months back is already on the way. Just how much is this series even selling after these many years for it to warrant such continuations.

Still haven't finished the 3rd season but it's nice to see it get a new 2 cour season without having to make viewers wait another 6+ years.

Why is this a separate entry? It's two consecutive cours of the same season/series

@Red_Ranger_Wien They also made a separate entry when Demon Slayer changed its title during its second season (from Mugen Train to Entertainment District) so it's just following precedents.
