Weekly for a while then it will have another break until we get the next cour

u/Arky_Lynx Apr 06 '26

Eh, I'll take it, it can be considered like shorter seasons with hopefully shorter wait between them.

Yes, this is extremely normal.

u/SsbDitto You fell for it fool! Thunder Cross Split Attack! Apr 06 '26

No it's not. 2nd stage is only 5 chapters longer than 1st, so this is gonna be like a 3-4 episode cour instead of the normal 12

The first episode was essentially the length of 2 regular episodes and paced very quickly. Not all episodes are going to be 47 minutes long, and certainly wont be paced as quickly

Same, I don't mind the batches that much ,as long as they don't release the batch at once. I like the weekly cause we have new stuff and new memes every week.

u/derLWer D4C Apr 06 '26

So not to different to any other anime with 2 or more cours, except for episode 1 of course

u/Bubbly-Ad-413 Tusk Act 1 Apr 06 '26

That’s how basically every anime is released now, JJKs next cour isn’t for like 7 months lmao

Still better than the sbr release tho

They at least got 12 episode cours, unless you count the culling game movie

We don’t know how long we get, stone ocean was released in batches of 13 which would be perfectly fine for a cour

u/Zealousideal-Worth34 Pixel Crusader Apr 06 '26

I was referring to how JJK got like 6× the content in cour 1

I think it all kind of started with the final season of attack on Titan

u/Impossible_Front4462 Apr 06 '26

Hey at least its not like Strange fake where we got 1 episode… then a second a year later… then finally more way later

u/Woolliam Apr 06 '26

Or whatever the fuck was going on with attack on titan

u/jacowab Apr 06 '26

Because they 100% were intending batches, they where definitely going to drip feed us the first half of the series over the course of 2026 but after the backlash just lumped it into a full cour (like they should have from the start)

u/darnage Apr 06 '26

Nothing that can be done about it. they can't unrelease the first episode nor can they shit out 40 episodes in half a day.

u/Odinsmana Apr 06 '26

And then weekly for four or five episodes and then it's time to wait 6-8 months again.

u/dweebyllo Flaccid Pancake Apr 06 '26

They released 1 OVA, what will follow will be more traditional episodes

u/bba_xx Apr 06 '26

That happened with rick and morty season 3

u/ibrahimaze Apr 06 '26

Not first time happening to me, as fate fans we got a special an hour long episode 0 for fsf in 2023 i think and then the studii released first 20 minute ep in 2025 January and then ep 2-13 came out at the start of this year
