January 2026? 1 year and a half of waiting only? It smells like 12/13 episodes.

This could be 2 cores because S1 was aired 1 year after the official announcement (it could also have been worked on before the official announcement) while S2 was aired 1 year and 3 months from the official announcement in September (maybe S2 was also worked on before the official announcement)

Why is everyone already saying it's one cour before they've even said anything? They've definitely been working on this longer than we think, and given the source material, I really doubt they're going to stop before arguably the best arc in the series

They probably started working on S2 while season 1 was still airing. Still, people thought it would take longer so that's why they're assuming it's going to be one cour. And it could be, they can release s2 in parts, with part 1 coming in January and then part 2 in the Summer or Fall.

Well..still better than not having a sequel when it comes to Madhouse 😅

Idk where people got that idea that madhouse don’t do sequel…

They wouldn't go to all the trouble of getting the all the best people they need together just for 13 eps. Also Madhouse currently loves 2 cours with Orb and Trillion Game still ongoing. I feel in my bones it will be 26 eps same as S1.

THEY'RE BACK!

I don't know, I'm still hoping for a 2 cour, it's not like they just started working on the anime when they announced the 2nd season, they clearly started working on it after season 1 ended, but the 1st season really did took a lot of time to animate, and I prefer a well done 1 cour 2nd season, than a rushed 2 cour 2nd season! But I think it's still possible to deliever a good quality 2 cour season.

@OvergrownRover I'm just guessing here but since the manga was first published in April 2020 then production of the anime probably started some time in 2021 with a Fall 2023 release date. If theyre planning a January 2026 release then they basically have another 2 years from March 2024 when the anime ended. I don't know what happens in the manga and how much animation is needed but considering the success of the first season I wouldn't be suprised if they tried to make it two cours again by adding more production staff and probably also overworking them but who knows. Maybe it will only be 24 episodes instead of 28 or something like that?

As much as the date is earlier than expected, I strongly doubt it'd be a single-cour season. Pacing-wise it'd make zero sense. Worst case scenario is S2 being split-cour with 3-6 months between the two cours, but I think it's much more likely, especially given the leaks that preceded the first announcement and the insane success of the manga, that Madhouse didn't let the gears slow down for a moment and pre-production work on S2 had begun before S1 even finished airing. A second season needs significantly less pre-production work than a new project, and the staff isn't just the exact same but presumably Madhouse didn't even need to herd them together again if production began that soon. Given these circumstances, I think it's really not unthinkable at all that they could pump out a full 2-cour season this soon.

Whether the quality holds up is a whole another question, but I trust that Madhouse understands more than anyone just what kind of golden goose they've got in their hands, and them having the same staff on-board for S2 suggests to me that they intend to maintain the quality of the adaptation.
