| Will the Other spirit will be shown in this season or not? |

el_mas_chin_gun said: It's possible for this to be the last season. If it's as long as the previous, then it's possible to cram 10 light novel volumes into 12-13 episodes. I don't recommend that because the pacing will most likely will be bad and there will be a lot of cut content. It crammed volume 12 into the last episode of season 3. Oregairu also did that with an episode in season 2. Preferably, there will be 60-80 to adapt the last 10 volumes unless they are shorter than the average light novel volume. I highly doubt that there will be 60-80 more episodes sadly. I don't know why you say 60 episodes, they don't need this huge number. 3-cour series (about 38 episodes) is enough and so good for the 10 volume remaining + We hope they will re-adaptation some information from volume 12. |
| better fucking not be. |
| If they want to adapt all of the series they need about 3-cour series (35~40 ) episodes to adapt the 10 volume remaining. I think they will produce season 5 to finish this series, ( one of season 4 or season 5 will be 2-cour series ) |
| you also have to look at the plotlines INSIDE the novels themselves. for years now i've seen most 12 episode seasons requiring 4-6 light novel volumes. as long as the studio doesn't add in original content or include too much 'side story novels' content. like the short story books some authors 'add in' as volume #.5 ie. volume 4.5 look at 'Irregular at Magic HS's books... the 1st season skipped one whole book because it was a 'flashback' to when the siblings were younger. then the 2nd season came out continuing through the books. and NOW the next anime project is the Reminiscence Arc. the ONE VOLUME of the LN that Season1 skipped. :> also, if you look at 'Honor Student' the side-story manga/anime centering on the sister. when pre-production happened the manga had completed, but didn't even go past the big multi-school sports competition's story-arc. now supposedly that manga is starting up again, possibly with a new mangaka, so that anime possibly could be restarted sometime in the future. or if you look at 'How Not To Summon A Demon Lord'. S2 ended with ONLY TEN EPISODES! if you look at the next book they could have adapted? it started a whole new story-arc that might have gone beyond 2 episodes! so sometimes the anime screenwriters can compress more books into fewer episodes. the written format doesn't always translate well into the 24 minute visual format. therefore sometimes the screenwriters can pull even more episodes out of the same novel than is usual. in the end it really all comes down to the production committee and how much Yen they want to invest in a project and how long that project will be in total. if they say, 'thou shalt have 12 episodes!' the director writers etc. shalt have 12 episodes. if they say, 'thou shalt have 24 episodes and split thine cour!' there'll be 2 seasons with a 3 month long break. :) |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| nope, because there's still more Arc after s4 |

| I am like 95% sure there will be future seasons. 1. Season 3 was well in production even before spirit pledge. Season 3 got announced in 2017. Spirit Pledge released in China in 2018 and Global in 2020 2. The series makes Kadokawa millions. Spirit Pledge has done very well in China and had a very successful launch and is still running in global. For stats, it made like in a million in its first month. Of course like most anime games, revenue will drastically drop later on. But most animes won't have gacha games. Furthermore, the series has become a staple in the anime figure collecting industry, with Kurumi having an insane amount of variants 3. Animation, budget, and visual effects have largely improved. A dying series will heavily cut corners 4. The series's popularity has heavily went up where it is now one of the most anticipated spring 2022 releases which is not something easy to do. Most DAL merch comes from DAL III which indicates there is a good demand for related merchandise. 5. It should realistically shouldn't take that much longer to fully adapt it. heck, I think they may even want to make a more thorough adaptation now so instead of 2 seasons, they may choose to wrap in 3 seasons. Just my thoughts. 6. If far less successful Kadokawa IPs are getting shows, it wouldn't make financial sense for them to close it. Of course, there could be a Yabuki situation where I believed he forced his To Love Ru series to end. But I don't think that is the case here since To Love Ru didn't have a gacha game and TLR had an issue with Yabuki's wife, co creators, and rampant nudity. |

| An anime season cost $2 million, and third season was announced before Spirit Pledge. My guess is Spirit Pledge total probably earned Kadokawa at least earned them $5-$10 Million+, possibly more since we don't know how much it grossed in China. Plus DAL has more merchandise than like 80-90% of the anime out there. It being featured in KDColle and having regularly get figures means it clearly is one of Kadokawa's profitable titles. Kadokawa normally does 3-4 volumes per 13 episodes, no matter how big a hit of the anime is. DAL's pacing is the same as Re Zero, Mushoku. So I believe there is more than enough money for a full adaptation which is realistically 2 more seasons. |
