Good amount of info out, it was definitely worth the wait. PV being nearly 3 minutes and giving us a spoonful of the Op is a really bright idea, if you ask me.

Key Visual looks like a banger too.

Split-cour, I imagine there'll be mixed reception to this but I seriously couldn't care less. Winter 2021 will just become better, simple as that.

Well at least it was not postponed again . And probably we will see more split cour show in the future since the condition isn't perfect yet in Japan

Man arc 4 as only 1 cour ( 12 episode-ish) is really going to be a bad adaptation.

Its impossible for them to animate the Arc 4 in just 12 ep lmao, maybe you are mistaking....they are doing the split cour because of the corona thing so it wont intervene in the production quality and i don't think Arc 5 has something to do with this situation.

As far as i am aware, Arc IV was drastically reduced from the same amount of content it had in the wn to the ln. The First Season adapted the first 3 arcs up to volume 9, Arc IV is up to volume 15 which is 7 volumes and Arc V is up to volumes 19 which is 4 volumes. So that is a total of 10 volumes about one more than the first series.

Hmm Well maybe it could still be just Arc IV, since i somewhat restrained myself from reading past Arc III due to this. Well we shall see

What you're saying is true. However, the LN version of Arc4 is pretty condensed and tightly packed. They won't be able to adapt it properly in just 12 episodes without skipping scenes.

Than is it possible they might adapted mostly arc IV but still leave out like the last quarter for arc V? Hmm even say each cour is 13 rather than 12 and that a lot of episodes skip the opening and ending to animated more content like they did with a lot in s1?

The anime being split cour doesn't mean arc 4 will just be 12 episodes they could still use all of cour one Plus 2-3 episodes of the second arc to wrap things.

Yeah, 12 for arc 4 is too little, but 25 episodes are gonna be a drag hell and people were already kinda bored with arc 3 being 14 episodes and it was the same length as arc 4.

They could use 15-16 episodes to do arc 4 and the rest for arc 5. Arc 5 is battle centric so it will take them considerably less time to adapt it. Season 1 already adapted 9 volumes so it's not an impossible task.

Well, I understand. Having to wait is frustrating. But it's better to see a properly paced adaptation than a rushed one. I read the Light Novel volumes 1-9 and I feel they actually cut out a lot of stuff in Season 1, like few very important world-building related stuff, some Emilia characterization, and some important foreshadowing etc. Hence I'm hoping they take their time and adapt all the stuff from Arc4+all the interludes and epilogues into those 24-25 episodes. And i.m.o Arc4 ending is a pretty well-suited endpoint for season 2. Because
. IMO It will be kinda awkward if this happens mid-season around episode 15-16. So its best to do only Arc4 entirely.

And I have a feeling we will get a Season 3 announcement soon after Season 2 ends, which will most likely adapt Arcs 5 and 6.

Umm. Subaru being annoying & cringy was intentional and it was a big part of his character development. His character is pretty realistic (like an avg teenager), he makes mistakes (like all of us do) and slowly learns from it.

Well it just got repetitive. And the average teenager doesn't behave this cringy.

maybe his character improves later on.

And the average teenager behaves MUCH MORE cringier than he does lmao...i don't know in which generation you grown up but in this times Subaru is at least a beacon for a slightly normal and a little cringy guy...if u had observed kids these days i'm sure u would have died of cringe by now observing them...maybe in the past kids were "better" but in these "times"...hell man even the adults are way more r******d sometimes than the kids are and i'm sure i can place Subaru in a safe spot on the scale of cringe no matter who tells me the opposite.

Ok then. If I go by your judgement he's below average. But this is probably only true when it's concerning communication and conversation skills with others.
Mainly because he was a shut-in NEET who didn't really interact much with people before he was summoned.


maybe his character improves later on.


Were you satisfied by his behaviour in last 4-5 episodes?

He will still make mistake sometimes, but not as much compared to season 1.

I'm really with you on this one. Just from reading the Arc 3 manga they skipped a few things (like stuff about Al) and it felt important. So even if the amount of volumes was suitable like @-ShadowClaw- said, I'd still want it to be like this.
And YES, hopefully they announce season 3 as soon as we're done :). Even the announcement of a far-away season is fine. Just give us the announcement :P.

And if it isn't obvious already, I'm sooo HYPED for this season!!

To be honest I wasn't a big fan of Subaru in the 1st season, I found him extremely annoying with all that yelling crap which is supposed to be an attempt at comedy but that forced comedy is just cringy to me, I simply dislike screaming characters trying to be funny, I don't find that crap funny in the slightest. IMHO good comedy doesn't need screaming characters, the comedy needs to be subtle, for example, One Punch Man has good comedy, they are subtle and doesn't require screaming characters, Saitama does scream sometimes but most of the comedy doesn't revolve about him screaming, in this anime though, Subaru just screams almost all the time he tries to be funny and I don't like that.

That being said, I did started to like Subaru in the last couple of episodes because he was screaming much less. I wasn't a big fan of the 1st season but somehow I'm looking forward for season 2, hopefully I can enjoy this one better.

Subaru being "just a teenager" doesn't make him less insufferable to watch tbh even if it was done on purpose. He's cringe-worthy even for a teenager at times.

It's understandable why so many people not found of him. Arc 3 is his lowest point thought, you will see much less whining and cringy worth stuff going from here on.

Hopefully that's the case, as long as Subaru acts like he was acting in the last couple of episodes while screaming less then I'm ok with him.

Of course, that still doesn't mean that I will like the anime, the story needs to be good to be able to draw me in. I also hope the emotional moments in the 2nd season is as good as the flashbacks of Wilhelm and Theresia van Astrea from the 1st season, IMHO that flashback was the best thing that anime provided, it was so good that it got me emotional and gave me teary eyes. If a scene in an anime manages to give me teary eyes then they did it right.

Uhh nope,Arc 4 is so long as Arc 1,2,3 combined,Also Arc 4 covered 6 Volumes of LN and 6 Volumes of LN is enough for 2 cour Anime,so S2 will be covering Full of Arc 4

Although S1 covered 9 Volumes,but that's because they cut a lot of scene, skipping Op and Ed,1 hrs duration for eps 1(This is a good thing tho)

Unless they want to rush this adaptation,it's possible we reach Arc 5 in S2
