Why are the episodes of this anime so empty every time?

Having now watched episode 17, is this what I waited a week for?

I don't know, I really enjoyed this episode, especially the plot twist that Zanka was actually hallucinating instead of really fighting.
but maybe it's just me not liking Rudo bloody eyes and his screaming after revenge. I prefer to rather see the rest of Givers.
and the story is evolving nicely, I am just anime fan so far, so I wonder about the Amo's whereabouts (I hardly doubt she is dead),, about the leader of this second group, about Rudo "special" gloves (the same pattern as boots, I wonder where is the rest of the clothes and does it have some magical.power as well, and last but not least why are Rudo's hand BLACK-there must be some reason for that)..
I wouldn't call this empty. and there is more fight to come, we only saw Zanka so far, and I am really curious about the rest, especially Riyo.

I am fine getting "empty"/filler episodes rather than straight up greenhorn director shows. This season I dropped around third of my PTW of bad director decisions. I usually don't drop any "this season" anime.

Although I miss the original meaning of cleaners.

Whilst I would say I enjoy the individual episodes, I can't help but feel that storywise we pretty much made zero progress for quite a while now? Even that stuff with Amo and the Angels is not a lot to go by and The Raiders really haven't revealed anything that would progress the story, at least not that I can remember. Considering that the rest of the fights haven't really even started the rest of the season will probably be spent on that and then where does that leave us?

The latest arc is not really the best (at least imo)

First cour adapted roughly 5 volumes, so if cour 2 does the same s1 will end with this arc :') But if we get lucky it might end with some vol. 11 stuff that brings some crazy twist 🤞

I'd say if you like the characters and are invested in the story try and have some patience and stick with it, it'll def pay off, if not with this season definitely with s2

@DigiCat Rather than being patient, waiting for episodes isn't worth it. Even if there's a great plot, character story, etc. later on, nothing matters at this pace because they're taking two anime episodes to cover things that could easily be done in a single normal anime episode.

They're probably doing this so the anime doesn't catch up to the manga too quickly, because despite this slow pace, it still seems like they're adapting it faster than the manga. But then why did they rush the adaptation so much?

@feyyazu35 I mean fair enough, but if you already came to the conclusion that it's not worth the wait, then why start a topic to discuss it's pacing in the first place? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@DigiCat You said your opinion, I made my own comment :D.

You're obviously someone who loves Gachiakuta, and I'm trying to like it too, but I'm saying that this pacing is a big problem, and it is. I think you think I'm a hater when I say this, but this obvious problem is a shame for the series itself. In short, the anime is wasted and will continue to be wasted if it continues like this.

I wish happiness to those who love it.
