| not familiar with the source material at all, but are 12 eps enough to faithfully adapt the manga? i heard the first episode was a one-hour special so maybe it'll adapt multiple chapters? |
| Manga is 5 volumes long so it's probably enough. marconii2002 said: https://twitter.com/livechart_me/status/1146233601794531328?s=21 In the end it just will be another source material promotion anime. Every adaptation is meant to promote source material. |

| First episode will be an hour special! Given that the manga is only 5 volumes in length, shouldn’t 12 (basically 13, rather) be more than enough for a complete adaption? |

| i think its enough tbh, Attack on Titan did 2 chapters per EP and is ridiculously long. On ther other hand Astra has around 20 pages per chapters but ill need to see the first ep so i can judge the pace |

| Inuyashiki had double the amount of volumes and it turned out fine with 11 ep. 13 ep should be sufficient enough for this. |
JanPri said: So how does it look like after the first episode? Do you think they will manage to adapt everything in 12 episodes? Supposing all the remaining of them will have 24 minutes? The manga honestly could have been completed in 35 chapters instead of 48. For me, at times it felt like it dragged. The story was super good, but it was super slow at points and they spent too much time on unnecessary stuff. I think if anything, having only 12 episodes will help the pacing. |

The_Smoking_Man said: Inuyashiki had double the amount of volumes and it turned out fine with 11 ep. 13 ep should be sufficient enough for this. Not all manga have the same amount of content. Astra has as much dialogue in 1 chapter than Inuyashiki has in 5. 2 chapters per episode would of worked perfectly for Astra imo and im still hoping theyll end up doing a second season. Guess we'll find out with the second episode... |
The_Smoking_Man said: Inuyashiki had double the amount of volumes and it turned out fine with 11 ep. 13 ep should be sufficient enough for this. Inuyashiki had very few dialogues and more action scenes Whereas,Astra is driven by the interactions between it's characters,i.e,it has way more dialogues than inuyashiki Judging by how they adapted the second episode,it definitely feels like that they are thinking of adapting the whole series in 12 episodes, which for me, is not a good sign as it can hinder the story,character development etc |

NG_Chloe said: depends on the chapters. Hero Aca adapts around 2 chapters per episode, whereas Yona of the dawn crammed 8-9 volumes into 1 two cour series while cutting nothing out. Then there are manga like Noragami where they might cut out small things that don't necessarily matter as much. There is one problem that could occur if the chapters aren't adapted correctly. The seven deadly sins became a bit of a mess when it adapted around a hundred chapters into 24 episodes, leading to things being a bit rushed in both seasons. Tokyo Ghoul, nuff said, and recently I found that the adaptation of To The Abondoned sacred beasts was quite bad for adding content that was either boring or ruined portions of the story, then cut out a lot of character and charm in favor of making the characters bland, and/or annoying. So there's a bit of risk when adapting material, it could be rushed it could just suck, or it could work perfectly well. Right, so far it’s been pretty good so hopefully it keeps up the momentum. And yeah, I totally agree with your point. Directing and Storyboard are one of the most essential piece in making an anime, after all. |

Daniel_Naumov said: I left this series out of the weekly viewing schedule, is there any information whether they are willing to adapt the whole story or not? Of course it will be complete adaptation. Manga ended and it's only 5 volumes long. |
