People may think why they are not releasing the S3 like S1 and S2 ( All 24 episodes together)?

But I am kinda happy with this decision, it will make sure that we can get consistent animation quality, without any week of delay in between premiere 😕, the production staffs will also get enough time

I am so excited for S3

All good with split cour but feel like it would be better to just delay the 1st cour to winter and make it consecutive.

@Nachtwandler_21 What ? LN 16 has been out for a while in Japanese, I have it. The english translation has nothing to do with the author, so it's vol 17's release date we're waiting for from the author, not 16.

@Builder45 I think the split allows the production team more time to produce the second cour, it also allows for the movie to set the tone between the cours. This season is going to be a big one. I haven’t read all the LNs but I believe there are some big developments coming. Better to have time for properly animating the second half than rushing to complete it.

@--tsukuyomi-- well i mean delaying a season means they'll get time to work on it as much as the cour break in winter does.Also kinda doubt the movie will be directly related to the season since they usually release way later worldwide on streaming,after cour 2 aired is a safe bet.

@A-lil-weeb-dog They're always working, they make Pokemon, I think that's all that needs to be said for how hard they work.

I just love the fact that they're so talented at what they do, aside from their really old works like the OG 1995 Pokemon, they really haven't made any poorly animated works. Some of their shows look better than others of course, but for the most part I haven't seen a single show from them that I could complain about the animation quality on.

@AishinDesu Fr, the speed at which new seasons come out and the amount of episodes they get is crazy.

@AhmedJafar1 Because with how seasons are done they technically aren't separate seasons. Taking a short break between halves to allow for a bit of extra production time before releasing the rest of the season doesn't exactly make it a different season. Generally what separates 1 season from another making the need for a new season is the "end" of the season, which is basically where staff like the Directors and Producers want to stop the show at for the season. It usually happens before writing the next season, deciding to make another season, or just to end the show at until there's enough time to produce another. In this case they're still going to be making the season before and while it stops airing for 3 months.


Besides that, separating the show into seasons just makes them easier to produce, just look at continuously airing shows like One Piece, the sheer amount of work required to stay on top of producing episodes "endlessly" is not to be underestimated. "Seasons" are really just a name to provide a way for separating a show into parts to make it easier to make a show. Calling it Part 1/2/3/4/5 Instead of Season 1/2/3/4/5 wouldn't technically make it any different. The main reason for it is that people tend to see a separation of seasons and parts to be different. In this case a 3 month break to finish making the season would make the second half of the season called Season 3 Part 2, where as a larger break in production like from Apothecary Diaries Season 2 to Season 3 makes it a different season.


Realistically it's all about naming and the naming here isn't confusing at all so it doesn't really matter. I'd rather they just keep doing things the way they have rather than change them and add unnecessary confusion. After all there's some shows that decide they wanna make a sequel and call it "2" like a movie does, then they make another season and call it "2 part 2", the only difference it has from calling it season 2 part 2 like "normal" is a more confusing name. Besides new seasons help with marketing to get people watching the next season after 2 years.

Movie first or the 3rd season? hmm
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
