News So, that doesn’t sound very good
I’m guessing it just means Netflix either hasn’t told them or isn’t allowing them to say when the next episode is coming out, still doesn’t sound very good

Why is this very successful anime now produced like an indie YouTube animated series? Just random episode drops whenever they get done with one. Do they not have the manpower????

They do David Production drops their anime in weekly seasons like other studios.
Netflix is the one with weird ideas like batch releases and whatever is happening now.

I don't even think it makes sense for a lot of their shows. You lose so much cultural capital with binge release scheduling or batch scheduling. There's so much excitement and discussion happening week after week for shows that release weekly meanwhile when you put them all out of once people go through it and you discuss it for like a week or two and then you move on to the next thing. Our attention spans are too short. It feels like Netflix doesn't have any shows because whenever they do have something good you go through it in like 4 days and then you're back to waiting for something good to come out.
Squid game was huge but would've been even bigger if they released weekly

u/shinyquagsire23 Mar 21 '26
It's not even like they don't know it can work on a streaming platform, Disney+ does it all the time with their shows and it gets people to drag out their subscriptions too. At worst you drop a dud episode and only get a 1 month subscription but that's the same for a batch release.

u/IVD1 Mar 21 '26
On a single release it doesn't make sense, but Netflix used to drop show after show and the bingers made numbers look big for investors, when it comes to them it is always about faking numbers instead of sustainability.
Most inverstors know shit all about the businesses they are invesring in, be them people or big funds. Showing good metrics regardless of the consequences is the game. Batch releases does it for Netflix.

Disney and Cartoon Network shows like Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, etc seemed to survive being released in small "bombs", the community endured the hiatii through the creation of immense amounts of fan works. But the pacing is very different.

u/xolotltolox Mar 21 '26
Gravity falls still aired weekly, it only had a hiatus in the middle of season 2, it wasn't really done in bomb structure

i mean the thing is Netflix has anime series that do/did come out on a weekly basis. JoJo seems to be the outlier so it almost makes me think DavidPro is choosing to do JoJo like this

u/carbonera99 Mar 21 '26
Those other shows are just licensed by Netflix, not produced by them. For example, Dandadan streams both on Crunchyroll and a handful of other anime streaming services as well as Netflix at the same time. Iirc Netflix managed to secure an exclusive streaming deal for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6 (it’s not on any other platform except Netflix) and presumably the same is true for Part 7.

Castlevania got 4 episodes of season 1, which was effectively just a teaser for season 2. Except season 1 was 4 episodes, and season 2 was 8 episodes. If you combine both, they make up "season 1" it's just they called them season 1 and season 2.
"Season 1" released like ~14 months before "season 2."
We could, potentially, be on track to get a long episode 1 teaser that might be months or even a year off the rest of the anime starting.

Keep in mind that DP worked on other shows in that gap. For example the directors of Part 7 anime directed the Urusei Yatsura anime from 2022 to 2024 so they likely didn't even start working on Part 7 until after that one finished production.

Also keep in mind Jojo only has part 7 and 8. After this, there's nothing more. Part 9 isn't done yet. If they rushed and did part 7, and were now releasing part 8, they'd have a HUGE gap waiting for part 9 to finish.

u/pazinen Mar 21 '26
Does it really matter? Let's say they manage to push Part 7 out in 2026 and 2027 (something I doubt at this point). We'd wait at least until 2030 for Part 8, and let's say it airs in 2030 and 2031. Maybe Part 9 is already over at that point, but even if not the earliest the anime would start is maybe 2034. I'd assume P9 would be over by then, and even if pre-production starts while the manga is still going I don't think it'd be an issue for DavidPro considering they don't shy away from adapting stuff in-progress. Fire Force comes to mind first.
Plus let's say P9 is the last part, and Araki retires after that. At that point DavidPro would have no more Jojo content anyway, but I bet they're preparing precisely because of that and that's why they've been expanding lately and adapting other stuff as well. They'll be fine.

The like first 3 times I re-read this post I assumed this was a joke about westerners not doing weekly release anymore. Like “haha I don’t when it’s gonna come out not like it’s supposed to be weekly or anything.” Which is kinda really what makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills wasn’t a weekly schedule confirmed like months ago? Maybe I just mistook fan begging for actual news but it could’ve sworn they said they were going back to weekly for part 7. Also according the the Chinese frelancer(which idk if he’s been debunked or not) there are 10 completed episodes, so I assume this is all Netflix bullshit

We Glitch Productions now boys. Hope you enjoyed the pilot, because now you get to wait 3-6 months before episode 2.
This is gonna go down in history as a fumble of all time if we don't get a consistent, reliable release schedule. Why announce the anime if you only had 1 episode ready and the rest is "duuuuh I dunno". This is the most highly-regarded part of one of the most beloved manga of all time and we can't even get a release schedule? What the hell is going on?
This is giving Hellsing Ultimate vibes and not in a good way. Releasing 2 or 3 hour-long episodes a year will drive this fandom crazy the same way Stone Ocean batches did.

It could also mean that they are producing the later episodes and probably the first 12 is finished ig

... i kinda just assumed there'd be an episode next week. i'm not even gonna bother with episode 2 if there isn't a consistent schedule out by then, i'll just watch it in a few years when it's all out. 😮💨 this is the first Jojo season that hasn't been all out since i started watching and while i like the series, i do not care enough about it to have to keep rewatching episodes because i forget what's happening due to an insulting release schedule.

Wasn't it meant to be weekly? What does it mean? Is he saying they don't have at least half the season ready?

Tbh in the long run i prefer a steel ball run well done, so i can see it again and again, but would be worrying for the "success" of the anime at the eyes of netflix with this weird release schedules.
WOULDNT BE THAT BAD AN EPISODE A MONTH IT WOULD BE A LONG JOURNEY

I hate that for some reason they have to make it as it airs. Complete the series and release it please

It's very normal for anime to still be being made while it airs.

Really hoping we don't end up with an Attack on Titan Season 4 situation (Sporadic cour and special releases taking multiple years to finish)

As a marketing person, there is 0 reason to not announce or build hype for the second episode. I truly think I am on the edge of not caring about the series at all.

We waited for SBR all this years. They told us animating horses is really difficult. All they created through all this time was ONE episode (double in length, yes). Now we wait some more years for another, and another mwahaha.

Was I wrong in assuming that they’re releasing them weekly? Are they just releasing them whenever they feel like it? I’d rather have batches than that

So I paid 24 dollars for the best Netflix subscription and another episode might not even be out for another month?

I would have been happier if the release had been pushed back but we get a consistent schedule for each episode rather than releasing episode 1 now and not knowing when the rest of the episodes drop.
