The next season will be bad, but winter will be a great season. Jujutsu Kassen, Freren, and many other works. 6 excellent works every week. 6 episodes, frankly, for consumption. Enjoy.

The manga's ending soured my opinion of the series but I'm still looking forward to this because of some characters and fights I want to see animated.

I guess now I'll finally have the motivation to finish season 2.

Yes, that’s why anything post shibuya sucks big time. I wish whoever’s in charge of deciding which anime gets a sequel chooses better anime to continue animating.

How much more do they need to fully adapt the manga? I heard that the ending was quite controversial as usual and I wonder if the studio will do something about it.

Finally! I hope for 24-26 episodes at the previous seasons!!

a lot of other news sources calls it part 1 of culling games so this is definitely split cours this time maybe to reduce the complains of animators of having yet another tight production time or schedule
