Is it possible for the anime to return in 2024, or 2025, or will we have to wait more than 4 years.

Returning for S5? More than likely. Based on statements regarding the source material, it’d probably be the final season as well

In 2024, though? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh, definitely not. We barely have information on the movie which is set to continue the story, so that’ll probably be coming out in mid-to-late 2024 at the earliest. So a theoretical fifth season would probably come out in 2025 at minimum

We have come this far and are nearing the end of the story... So its safe to assume we will get another season after the movie. But given how movie was anmounced along with season 4 and we still dont have a release date, its unlikely that season 5 is even drafted!! So it wont be coming out for really long. But I hope the movie comes soon enough!!

They probably will announce after the movie, so I would expect for maybe mid 2025 (if they release the movie early 2024, if not, then will be much later)

Maybe not to soon. 4th season ended on vol 14 of the light novels and there is only 16 novels at the moment. So there is no new season in the workings for a while.

damn the final season? what makes you say that? Lack of source material? Manga finished? I'll have to look into this a bit further. the wiki contains about 100 characters that havent even made an anine debut so the thought of it ending is surprising

Alright, so essentially, Season 4 adapted volumes 10, 11, and 14 of the Light Novels. The upcoming movie will adapt Volumes 12 and 13. As of right now, the LN series stands at 16 volumes, with the author having stated that he plans to end the series at Volume 18. Word from some Light Novel readers is that the Volume 15-16 arc could fit into a relatively small episode count, and the studio wouldn't have any economic incentive to continue with the anime once the source material is finished, so a theoretical Season 5 adapting all of the last 4 volumes is likely

If former news remains true, then the movie will come first. So I doubt it will come back quite that fast but then again…
Season 2 ended in April of 2018 and season THREE STARTED in July of THAT SAME YEAR.

so not impossible but I’ve never seen that particular feat recreated

The director said that he expects the movie to be ready by summer of 2024. He also said he’s willing to do season 5.
