Do people seriously believe extra length first episodes were created by Oshi no Ko? Fate has been doing it since 2011 and I don't think they were the first ones.

It's not even a "hearing good things" situation, if you know who most of the staff are then you can already see how much of a goldmine this is.

The only other thing this year which could come close to Vinland 2. Immensely hyped.

Though I'm not sure where they'd conclude the first episode, as first few chapters are indeed long but not as if they could be extended to some 100 minutes or anything. Perhaps the first volume.

Sheesh two hour first episode? Hope more anime follow suit and do extended length premieres, I'm all for it.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

You forgot to mention that after 2 hour premiere on Friday Roadshow, it will be aired on a new anime timeslot on NTV, which details will be announced soon (meaning: will not continue to air on Friday Roadshow).
初回放送以降は、日本テレビ系で10月から新たに開設されるアニメ枠でオンエアされる。

Maybe they combined parts of himmel and friends' journey into one part to make it 2 hours long.Then part of Frieren's adventure with Fern and Stark in October.

Wait is it going to be 2 hours in runtime with or without ads? These official statements usually include runtime including ads for example the demon slayer season finally was promoted to be 70 minutes while running for a bit over 50 minutes.

2 hour first ep, woah. (glance at Oshi no Ko).

That PV2 is truly beautiful, it significantly increases my hype.

I'm not used to Frieren's deep voice yet even if she's not that young as an elf, i always imagined her to have a voice like most elfs in other series.

That voice acting where she cries at the end of the PV is amazing though, i think i can get used to it fast when it airs. Trust in Atsumi Tanezaki.

But you said it was inspired by Oshi no Ko, which implies they did it because Oshi no Ko did.

No, bruh. Being an inspiration due to recent success and being a progenitor are two completely different things. I honestly thought it was obvious.
