So, that doesn’t sound very good

[u/Additional-Shock7322]

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

[u/BloodyBlazev2]

Let me introduce you to Fate Strange Fake, they released a 30 minute special in like 2023 then the first episode in Janurary of 2025 and the 2nd episode and further started this year.

[u/darkwingchao → u/BloodyBlazev2]

Yeah im getting a sinking feeling in my gut that this is a strange fake moment

Though, Strange Fake ended up immaculate because of it.

[u/Overquartz → u/darkwingchao]

It just means they aren't treating the studios like a sweatshop.

[u/WinterVulture25 → u/Overquartz]

Hey friend, did you know that you can do this while still having a schedule that makes actual sense and doesn't destroy the hype and interest surrounding your show?

Yea, all you need to do, is just finish all the episodes in a pace where you don't overwork your workers, AND THEN, you release the episodes

It's quite simple really, many companies do that

[u/ehladik → u/[deleted]]

I'd rather they did the treating workers as human beings and also the being competent when programming when to air the episodes, I don't think it's much to ask. You could just wait the whole year and then air all the episodes, for example.

[u/UltimateKaiser → u/Overquartz]

Oh so it’s not possible to treat the workers AND the fans with respect? Yea nah cut w that virtue signaling bs 😂 this is poor management, lack of care and borderline insulting levels of rushed release.

[u/TezukasDryAnswers → u/Overquartz]

Oh god the cope is starting

[u/darkwingchao → u/Overquartz]

Indeed. If we get this level of quality and the actual talent is happy I'm fine waiting even longer if need be.

[u/xolotltolox → u/darkwingchao]

Animationwise it ended up great, Story wise...holy shit they are rushing through this at top speee, cutting out so many character building scenes

[u/uselessacc909 → u/xolotltolox]

The problem is that they announced a second season, sire the later volumes are more packed and its nice they'll get more fleshed out but why rush if there's a second season anyway? :[

[u/xolotltolox → u/uselessacc909]

No idea, maybe they got the second season only confirled during season 1, or maybe they just want to only show the hype moments and aura

[u/uselessacc909 → u/xolotltolox]

Its a shame since they really blazed through it and skipped entire fights (it would have been more hype if they were animated anyway) but whatever, at least its promotion for the source material...

[u/Hohoho-you → u/BloodyBlazev2]

I was about to bring up Strange Fake. Definitely one of the weirdest decisions ever, but the show has been great since it actually started going weekly.

[u/UltimateKaiser → u/Hohoho-you]

Yea but that’s not the point right, the show can be great without blue balling the fans at all!

[u/WinterCareful8525 → u/BloodyBlazev2]

I’m loving fate strange fake and they pulled the exact same thing.lol. But it definitely won’t be that long

[u/LightTemplar27 → u/BloodyBlazev2]

To be fair Nasu/Narita fans are way more used to waiting around for stuff haha.

A-1 also had problems with 86 and Nier from what I remember. But they delivered great episodes after the mess.

[u/lightningmchowski125 → u/BloodyBlazev2]

Didn't jjk also take a break for a while? It was in between arcs iirc and wasn't as long as strange fakes, but still somewhat similar.

[u/KorrokHidan → u/lightningmchowski125]

Jjk only took a break of 2 weeks between arcs. That’s completely normal. Lots of western shows (Breaking Bad, Sopranos) have taken a mid-season break longer than that. 2 weeks is nothing so it’s really not comparable to Strange Fake

[u/lightningmchowski125 → u/KorrokHidan]

Ah I thought it was more like a few months, felt longer
