@jkmsoobinie cuz the og director and Studio Lan is busy with To be Hero X,
Hence the studio & director change..

@M-T_S Li Haoling is still the director tho?

Actually, at last week's conference, the creators said Bridon Arc has 6 episodes, not 8.
And season 3 will be released separately, and it will have 24 episodes.

@Tobimaroo is there a written source?

@HyTaKe The source its self comes from someone who was at the BilliBilli Conference were Li Haoling was at you can read the translation here billibilli conference

@1XSevenX1 It's not an official confirmation, and the translation is a bit off. He's not confirming the six episode length, but moreso just saying it's "around" six episodes - there's a difference. And neither is he confirming the 24 episodes, he's just saying he wants to do a two cour season, doesn't mean it will be exactly that many episodes.

This is my translation, line by line. Unfortunately, the conference isn't available in English, but they did post it on Youtube a day ago: https://youtu.be/UN1a1J4Pitw?si=s0Gcg1FmJ000YN06&t=2998
Feel free to watch it for yourself. The video with Li Haoling is at 49:58

它可能篇章的篇幅不会太长
[the season] may not be too long in terms of episodes
大概是在6集左右
Around six episodes or so
像一个番外一样的故事
The story is more like a side story
大家可能也会说6集不够看
Everyone may think six episodes is not enough
是不是还有更多的内容可以看
[and ask] if there be more content for us to watch
那当然我们也在很尽力地去快马加鞭
Of course, we're also going to try and work as fast as possible
去准备后面第三季的内容
to prepare the contents of the following third season
那我是希望整个故事剧情
My hope is that the entire story plot
是稍微能够再长一点
can be somewhat longer
去做一个24集这样的一个体量的规划
and plan to create something like 24 episodes
所以说可能会准备的时间长一点
So the preparation period may be longer
也希望观众能够给一点耐心去等待一下
and I'm hoping the audience can have some patience and wait a bit

P.S. The eight episodes on MAL is the amount of episodes Bilibili officially submitted to the Chinese review committee, so that's why it's eight - this information is publicly available once the government releases it. I don't know if the one hour long first episode counted for 3 episodes though, that could be the case. There's no official notice from the official Link Click team.

Edit: Tagging @Tobimaroo as well
