The Heroic Legend of Arslan
| Why only 8 eps!?!? I understand the series is over going the manga but why just 8 eps? It would be smarter to wait for more material then release another 25 ep season... I was hyped so this sucks ass (.-. |
| Saw this as well. And if I remember correctly the 1st season didn't even get as far as the old OVA (even though it hat a lot of episodes). Maybe they just want to finish the remaining stuff until to the point that the old OVA reached. And then later make another full season. |

If that's the case, then I wish these eight episodes had been included in the first season, so that we could've gotten a more robust second season. |

| People sometimes don't make sense. That also applies to anime companies and the people working there. |
| Well I'm just glad there's another season . Nanatsu no taizai airs at the same time as arslan in summer and it's only 4 episodes . |

| I'm surprised we're getting this at all to be honest. The sales in Japan were rather lacklustre and just look at the number of views here in MAL. Every bit I get makes me a happy camper. |

Well that's surprising. There seems to be a disconnect between that poll and the actual sales. As far as I can remember Arslan Senki's first volume sold around 2000 copies. Not a bad number, but nothing that assures you automatically a second season. |

Not a bad number, but nothing that assures you automatically a second season. BD sales are of no importance for Arslan. What matters are TV ratings and novel sales boost and both of them were good. As for the topic - 1 cour is more than enough. There's no need to go to the second part of the novels yet. Yes, it will be a little rushed, but it should be able cover the ending of the first part of the novels. |
| i got so sad when i saw here that there will be only 8 episodes =/. It's one of the only shows that i'm desperate to see more seasons. Let's hope this season 2 can be as good as the first to expect more things in the future. Ah, and the novel is going to finish any time soon? |
| If they are covering things they would not normally covered, I am actually in favor of this. It could be worse, the other show in this scheduling term got 3 episodes, and they both have to make way for Gundam IBO (which I'm also anticipating). If there are going to be 3 seasons, the more the merrier. |

Isn't this based of a load of books rather than a manga? http://myanimelist.net/manga/32793/Arslan_Senki It was originally released in 1986, so there defiently enough material. hopefully. |
