The action scenes are top notch too. This season is definitely Starks though and I’m all for it.

[probable season length]>!should be 12. 13 if they want to squeeze in 2 episodic adventures, but I find this less likely.!<

Well, they are never going to catch up at that rate.
1155 episodes of one piece. 8 per Netflix season. That would be 192.5 Netflix seasons. 2 already exist. It will take Netflix 476.24 years to catch up.

You might wanna redo your maths again. The two seasons of Netflix One Piece covered 91 anime episodes out of 1155 and 154 manga chapters out of 1174.

Do you really expect them to cover even a big chunk of it? They’re not gonna do more than 5 or 6 seasons.

They announced S2 is in production in January of this year, and if they are covering ng the rest of the manga in the same amount of episodes, it likely will come out early to mid next year.

The studio is already booked. Many anime studios are booked beyond 2030 at this point, so no reason to expect a fast turnaround.

This series is being animated faster than a lot of shows are. Bocchi season 1 came out before Frieren, became a runaway sleeper hit, and still no season 2 on the horizon yet.

I’m glad they’re doing this bc it will give the manga author and illustrator more time to write the material. They’ve both had issues with being overworked and had to take extended hiatuses because of it, and there really isn’t enough manga out for a two cour third season.
This also gives the anime staff more time to cook and I’m all for it since the show is animated so beautifully.

Generally speaking, anime filler arcs are a thing of the past now that there's so many projects that studios don't have to stick to continuous production for a given show. So there's more time for both authors and animators

There is enough for a 2-cour. But then they’d be at the doorstep of the current arc, so that’s most likely not happening. My prediction:
* What’s been announced: 12 episodes (Golden Land)
* What could be cour 2 of a season 3, or serve as a season 4: 10 episodes. (Goddess Monument and random traveling)
* Season 4 or 5: Foundation Festival 12+

That's lame as hell.
Season 2 sucked in that case, it was literally just getting started.
The first one had 28 episodes. Now the next season wont come out for another 2 years basically?

Entitled nothing, I'm expressing displeasure.
Season 2 sucked in comparison to season 1. Why did they even bother with such an inconsequential and brief season 2 if they were gonna have a 2 year delay?
Should have just waited longer and put out something of a comparable length.

Madhouse is a very busy and in-demand studio who pretty much never do long running series. It's actually impressive that the production committee has managed to keep them on board. If you want a two cour Season 2 or quicker seasons that means handing off the series to another studio.

Depends on the length of the next arc. But going by October next year it's definitely not two cours this time either.

The next Arc by itself is nearly double the length of the two smaller arcs that made up season 2 chapters wise (though 4 of them were the last 3 episodes of season 2).
Combined with the two arcs after that it could be just a bit shorter than season 1 which spanned 60 chapters.
And there's another 22 episode arc after those but If I remember correctly that's not complete so I doubt it would make it into season 3.

I think this makes sense, given other productions at Madhouse, but also a means to hopefully let the mangaka recover so the manga hiatus can end.

What does JJK have to do with this? I also don't like jjk too much, but for completely different reasons.
My take was that Frieren goes way too extreme on the chill aspect. It needs more balance. And I'm not even talking about action scenes, the story is going nowhere.

There's a bunch of gatekeeping in anime fandom. To some people, if you enjoy Solo Leveling or JJK or the like, you might as well call yourself an uncultured Neanderthal.

100% agreed.
28 episodes in season 1. 10 in season 2.
literally nothing happened. I'm shocked it's over.
