anime

I think it comes down to how you read the themes of the show

that golem for example, was a spell she learned back with Himmel in an E3 flashback

why she doesn't bust it out all the time, I don't think you'll get a definite answer for

but it feels appropriate for her character

A lot of her arc is "subverting what most mages do" such as concealing her mana

so her not using flashy spells fits with that

Considering this arc taught us basically every mage only uses flashy personalized spells

to the point where they comment on Fern fighting like an old person

"I feel like I'm fighting my grandmother"

is a such a good line

yeah

i wonder how the last 2 episodes will go

i got te feeling there's a 3rd test

They could do test 3

but it cant be a long test

cuz i imagine they'd want to wrap it up

I feel like finishing the mage test arc is a good endpoint

Frieren 100% will get more seasons

I'll be something quick with Serie

imo

it would be weird if they didnt do more seasons considering how insanely popular its become

yeah thats likely

It's sold absurdly well

so yeah, more seasons

only a question of when they began pre-produciton on more

you'd assume after the first few episodes, cour 3/4 were greenlit

After the 4 episode theatrical drop

so if the studio has free slots, it could be as early as mid/late 2025

they prob had enough info

idk what else madhouse has in the works

I've not read the source yet

but they've adapted 40% of what's out so far

so you're saying s2 is possible without waiting years for source material?

seems like it

No made in abyss S3 for frieren

2040 will be dope

pace of new chapters is 2-3/month

they should take some seasons off though

it won't be sooner than late 2025

i remember them doing overlord 2 and 3 back to back and the quality dropped because of it

studios book seasons in advance

thats what madhouse has

yeah

they are working on the overlord movie

if it's a good team you can keep together, not taking long breaks is better

MT is dealing with that ok

but getting directors back is hard even for them

MT's break was dropping a great anime in between for no reason

Onimai outsold MT btw

ik spooky but a small break is good sometimes

lmao

well, that's without quantifying other media

the MT novels ending, + the interlude new volumes

likely pushed it back up in terms of overall economic benefit

Next season is going to crazy

I am so excited for half of the sequels on my PTW

My #1 wish for Freiren

is for them to NOT make a movie

Yeah

why not

movies are too disruptive

Movies are sometimes a mistake

idk any show that's been improved by following up a strong season with a movie

no game no life

Pokemon

I'd have taken a S2 over NGNL:Zero

since Zero ended the series

pokemon is something completely different

I wouldn't

it has infinite money and popularity to use

I love NGNL, but the movie is special

Zero is tied closely with the later volumes, they could have done 1:1 what Fairy Tail did with FT:Zero

and it would have been better

and the animated stuff is free to be completely original in pokemon

demon slayer movie was good

I think that is my other answer

Tanya had a good movie

still waiting for the next tanya season btw

Demon Slayer's was good

that's true
