Strike the Blood (light novel)
| yeah this will probably take an year or an year and half to finish. |
 |
| The fans are really faithful, the BD of the anime always makes to 8~10k in the end and that justifies to always get more seasons. |
 |
| It's once again OVA format so it'll take another year. |

DimasDavid_ said: This answer to this question is really weird. The answer is, because people enjoy it, and it sells well. Strange how some of these companies actually try to please their customers.why are there so many seasons? DimasDavid_ said: All anime take a long time to produce. The BDs sell well.why are the episodes of this anime take a long time to release, and why are there so many seasons? I believe the light novel is not successful in Japan! if anyone knows how to answer my questions, i will be grateful KuroMimi22 said: What do you think?Is this gonna take a year again to finish? |
| Final part 2 hopefully not kidding like aot |
 |
| The"no senpai, this is our fight" is still going strong huh, btw I just checked out the latest one and damn... you can really tell Taneda Risa is not in a good place voice acting wise, her tone was all over the place, her lung problems are still there... sad really, she was one of my favorite seiyuu back in her prime. |

| I just wanna see the harem ending. |

| how long? i expect an initial schedule of the BR/DVD releases in about 6-9 months. so either Winter 2021 or Spring 2022. i'm betting Connect finished work on STB IV, gave their teams some down-time, then leapt right back into putting V together. Connect has done/is doing: 'Slow Loop' JAN 2022, 'Honor Student at Magic High School'/the side-story manga of 'Irregular at MHS' right now, 'Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo' OCT 2019, and 'Senryuu Shoujo' APR 2019. so Connect has been a bit busy in the past 3-4 years including putting STB episodes together. five titles including (STB) in three-ish years IS KINDA BUSY for a studio right? including last year with all the covid crap happening. even if only THREE or maybe FOUR ('Slow Loop' hasn't announced just yet what's up with it) of those titles are TV series; that's alot of work when you add on STB episodes that were being made in the same time period. i bet the STB V teams are on break right now for the early Summer vacation season and they'll be chained to their workstations like oarsmen on a slave ship very soon. and as always guys, remember they're JUST OVAs! that means as long as the production committee doesn't care, Connect can take as LONG as they want to finish STB V. it's not like there's contracts with TV and satellite and streaming services giving Connect a hard and punishable by fines etc. deadline to meet. |

Tachi27 said: One more thing I have a doubt regarding that if Glenda and Astarte become blood couples and then Kojou's wives at the end of Season 5, it has also been debated if Kojou had more children with his 10 remaining wives, what do you think? so far we've seen ONLY Kojou and Himeragi's child when she lept back through time to kill the mutant dragon monster. when she went back to her own time she meets up with somebody who COULD be Asagi's daughter. this ALL depends on whom is fansubbing the episodes. i've seen work by 3 different groups on the episodes of that story arc fanslating the lines where that final scene has different subs. Witch of the Void Natsuki (depending on who's fansubbing it) in S4 ep12 during the 'Kojou Harem Meeting' said Astarte could NOT become a 'Blood Wife' of Kojou's because Astarte already HAS a familiar she's feeding with her own life-force. to ME that ALSO means Natsuki AND Yuuma can NOT do it since they BOTH have witch's familiars. seriously, the 22nd and final light novel volume came out in Japan last year. the English vol19 doesn't come out till September 21, 2021. the older volumes are becoming harder and harder to find as the years go by. i know RightStuffanime dot com states vol 4 and 3 are out of print and their stocks of volumes 1-10 are spotty at best. so my best suggestion, BUY THEM NOW SOMEWHERE! or download em off Amazon through their Kindle store. here's an example of why you need to read the books. Amazon's synopsis of volume18 "There’s a celebration to be had in the kingdom of Aldegia, and Princess La Folia invites Kojou to join in the festivities. Reluctantly accompanied by Kanon, he travels to the royal palace for the signing of a peace treaty between Aldegia and the Warlord’s Empire. Not all are in favor of the agreement, and many hold their breath in anticipation of violent opposition. Unfortunately, these fears are realized when a large-scale terrorist plot brings a deadly monster to the heart of the nation, and as luck would have it, Kojou gets caught up in the chaos!" ok, sound familiar? episode 1 of season 4. Kojo and his buddies are in an airport... leaving Aldegia to return home to Itogami Island. the anime CUT OUT THE ENTIRE VOLUME 18 BOOK! EVERYTHING! THE WHOLE BOOK! this is an ONA series my friend. Connect can NOT tell you everything in the anime. they just do NOT have enough episodes to do it. if you want all your questions answered, read the books. because the anime is just not capable of doing it. |

KojouAndYukina said: I haven't been reading the light novels but since this is called Strike the Blood Final, does this mean that by the end of this "season", the story would have officially ended? Are the light novels finished? yes, the light novels finished with volume 22 in Japan August 7, 2020. this final season will \allegedly/ ONLY adapt that 22nd novel. |

| Guys, I have one question though, is Kojou gonna marry all the blood servants, including La Folia, Kisaki Kiriha, etc...? (except astarte and glenda because Natsuki said they can't become brides for Kojou).. On the wiki page it seems but I can't find anywhere the LN 22 summary. Also, is this season gonna adapt what I said? |

Also, is this season gonna adapt what I said? we don't know what it is really going to do till it is done. unlike TV or streaming anime this is still a disk-only franchise for quite some time now. so you HAVE to get the disk in a storefront or online retailer. i seriously doubt the studio's going to release even the 1st episode early. they haven't ever previously. or you can wait till somebody buys the disk(s), cracks them, and either fansubs the files themselves or uploads the raws for somebody else to do the work. another huge problem is... there are SERIOUS cuts to the light novels when it comes to this OVA disk-only franchise. for example, the trip to La Folia's homeland with Kojou and his gang, right before 'The Blood' takes over The Island. is ENTIRELY skipped in Episode 1 of Season 4. Kojou and his gang are standing in an airport about to fly HOME to The Island after the visit and a few lines of dialogue in S4 Ep1 Scene 1 are ALL that entire story-arc gets. from what i've found online, the studio hacked out ALL of LN Volume 18's content. a whole book. they just don't have the disk space, budget, or whatever to cover the whole series of books and everything in them. |

I see, thx for the answer, I thought that they skipped the LN 18 because that light novel was based on Strike the Blood: Kingdom of the Valkyria OVA from 2015. I also saw that this final season is gonna be produced with Warner Bros Japan, unlike the previous two seasons so I think the anime is having a better production?? Anyways, all I want to know is the ln22 ending, is that guy really married to 12 girls? A magazine in Japan released a poster for its magazine cover for September 2021 which features Yukina in a wedding dress. Along with this they had an interview with the director of the series and he said that the final season is gonna adapt the final volume and also some original stories after the events of the ln, which I assume it's after Mr. Fourth Progenitor marries his harem. Honestly that's what I hope for, since I fell in love with this anime when I watched the first season. |

Also everyone on reddit says that but nobody gives me the exact details, because the summary it's "too long" ..... Here is Yukina in that dress, retweeted by the official Strike The Blood twitter page: https://twitter.com/mikumo/status/1421747114695036933/photo/1 Anyways, we shall wait and see what this final season brings, even though we gotta wait a year or two for it... |

IN THEATERS... got that scene, but it was edited/censored! :D heh! heh! :D yeah... so like i said, i wouldn't count on that 'magazine cover' being anything close to what will come out in the DVD/BR disks. :D |

KiliianSleipnir said: While I agree this series does not give enough episodes to properly adapt the LNs (I'm only up to Volume 7 and have seen just S1 so far), it's worth noting the reason why Volume 18 wasn't adapted, it's because Volume 18 adapts the 2015 Kingdom of the Valkyria OVA. In other words, the anime for that came first. Similarly Episodes 23-24 were adapted into Volume 17. Gakuto Mikumo took what was anime-original content and expanded upon it in two volumes. The volumes that were skipped were 7, 8, and most of 10. What each season covers:here's an example of why you need to read the books.

I imagine the Afterward will have Gakuto Mikumo talking about how he expanded the 2015 OVA into Volume 18. ok so Disk1 came out November 25, 2015... reading... reading... and the 18th volume came out 2 years later ... minus a few days... ok... ok... thanks! well damn, i had it entirely backwards. i appreciate your research! :> that's one of the problems with animotvslashz fansubbing of ep1 of S4... and their other work on STB... with work that atrocious, i'm surprised anybody can keep track of anything. there's been probably hundreds of times i've paused one of their files while i was streaming it, and seriously SERIOUSLY considering never watching STB ever again. since animo's fansubs are the only files i've been reliably able to find of STB since it went all OVA disks... i've met and spoken with five year old CHILDREN who are more intelligible than those anime fansubs. :/ animotvslashz's work did improve by the time they got to S1 and S2 of 'Komi-san'... so when i watched animo's files of eps 1&2 of STB Final... they were for the most part understandable. poorly written but ... heh :/ i get the gist with almost all the lines animo wrote. |
