anime

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

oh overlord

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

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

tanya movie is a good answer

konosuba movie

also great

The other issue with movies, are they take forever to release after their theatrical run

oh yeah

subs on that stuff take forever

so it's usually a 3+ year break of the series

unless you are demon slayer and sony leaks it

lol

i'm in perpetual hell on the princess principal "movies"

SAME

becuase by the time one gets subbed the next one is out

and not subbed

Heavens Feel was the same way

Thankfully HF2 was out when I got there

u watched princess principal spooky?

yep

idk if Pika/Polu watched it

but I'm sure they know the OP

I have not

i liked it a lot

and the movies have been good, the ones that have been subbed anyway

I didn't realize, they already greenlit up to movie 6

that's funny
