Also curious for this. Great first episode and was thinking this maybe a typical 12 episode series? Please tell me it will be a 24 episode series atleast.

Seeing how rushed the 1st ep was,I highly doubt that.
And 13 episode seem like a safe bet.

I would guess that it really depends on what they do with the ending, since Devil Survivor has multiple endings.

Only 12 or 13 episodes seems to short for an Atlus game to me :P But I guess this isn't as long as a Persona game :s

Nope don't think so. It will be a 2-course in my opinion. No way they can finish everything within 12-13 episodes.

Desu1 had 7 days (with DS:O having 8th days). IIRC, Desu2's timeframe is also 7 days.

As for clearing the game, it depends on how much you level grind/time you spend on fusing demons so it's really subjective, the average is maybe...30 hours on one route?

As for the anime getting a second season, it depends on how they are going to present the story. If the anime is on a

there might be more plot to warrant a second season but I highly doubt it.

Well, the game lasts seven days and seeing how the first day is completely rushed and finished in the first chapter I doubt they can or will spend 6 days in 23 more chapters.

If they had added every detail from the game, the fate system and boss fights then yeah, it could have been around 2 cours.

Please understand.

The game is quite lengthy if you ask me. Then again, my 1st run-through was a grind fest as I wanted to make an extremely powerful team. And I did, thus the boss fights just weren't that epic TT^TT

If the adaption focuses on all the fate system events and interactions. Then this would have been quite a lengthy show.

Personally , I don't mind the pace their currently using ^^

Too bad if it's going to be 12/13 episode, it will probably be rushed.

took me 27 hours without free battles (battles unrelated to the plot just for grinding)

Based on Amazon JP... they have 7 volumes of the BD listed with v1 consisting of ep1 and v2~7 consisting of ep2~13 with 2eps on each volume.

They were all added to Amazon JP at the same time, so we can safely assume this will only be 13eps.

looking at how the comparison of manga and anime release (1 anime episodes equal to 2 manga chapter), and when we look at the latest manga chapter, 2nd day will last with 3 episodes (at least what i deduced)

if episodes for each day after 2 day consist of 2nd episodes, this will have 14 episodes in total and we haven't counted

then again, the release of DeSu2 : Break Code is in Summer 2013 (is the reason why DeSu2 the Animation being released is to promote DeSu2 Break Code?), it will make sense if after the anime ends, DeSu2 Break Code's released...

i'm thinking too much, and i only want to have this to get 23 - 24 episodes, roughly 22... T____T

don't mind what i said before what i want...

It has 13 episodes. At least from what has been disclosed so far.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Okay now I'm starting to get worry if its really indeed 13 episodes then again they have the pacing under control.

They did a movie for one of routes for Persona 4 I believe. They can do something similar to that :3

With this being 13 episodes long (although given the pace of the first episode, I'm really hoping it turns out to be longer), I'm wondering if they'll be animating the new scenario that's going to be in Break Record. From what's been said about it so far, it sounds like there'd be plenty of material for them to do another 13 episodes.

Who knows, maybe they did the first episode that way just to get to the action scenes earlier to draw attention. Maybe they will slow it down later. It might just be wishful thinking, but might as well hope for the best

Only 13 episodes : (
Hopefully there will be a second season.
Though i need to finish this before deciding if i want a second season or not XD
Even though the beginning of this anime was great, the rest might not be.
But hopefully the rest will be as good as the beginning ^^

it's possible. looking at keita's death, they plan on shorting the amount of episode by "shorting" the amount of character so that there won't be much of stories to tell...

It doesn't shorten anything. The main plot is still too long even with dead characters, especially with the pacing the anime has.
You still have to explain the dragon stream, everything about Yamato's family, Lugh, Kama and shiva for Alioth, the AO, etc. Too many things to list. And then there is the main plot.

Again, just because it says 13 episodes, it doesn't mean that it will be 13. I've seen more animes that had their number of eps changed than the opposite.

thinking again, it's rather unlikely to have 13 episodes in this pace except they change vital point in the game, the shortening number of character is to focus on their story, i guess...?
possible things to be cut are:

then again, i just want to see it in more than 13 episodes...

Yup. Killing them = no fate event. But then again, there was no FATE events until now, too. And despite monday being a day that is quite short in game, and despite this and the fact that there was NO fate event in the anime except maybe Hibiki buying three cans, I don't remember if it was a fate event or not,, they still needed at least 3 episodes for it. So I think that 13 eps would not be enough even if you remove the fate of ALL the characters that can die. When you think about it, even the main plot alone is quite long.

so yeah, I don't think it'll be 13 eps-long. Spending 3 episodes on the first days would be irresponsible otherwise.

What? They're already rushing the pace too much and almost excluded many things that made the game charming.

It's very possible to cram this into 13 episode if they keep up the pace.

we don't really see fate event here i agree, but we maube can see "the essence" of their fate event?

With keita's death, we won't have to hear about his family being tricked by a landshark and event of keita saving jungo from a demon (even his boxing hobby isn't mentioned in anime storyline). The "essence": Keita saves Io and Hibiki.
Perhaps with death of Jungo (i'm rather certain for this), we won't see story of him and his cat.
With Otome's death (rather certain also) we won't hear much of her relationship with her adopted daughter.
I also suspect that they want to keep Joe's "fate event", but in different way: Making Otome as Joe's girlfriend (only a hunch from the trailer.I admit my glasses is still deluding my vision). mostly thing will happen is that Joe's saved, while he's too late to save Otome because of his experience of being saved from his death clip, making his resolve not to be late in anything.
However, if makoto's even dead in day 6, you can manipulate her peak fate event, considering her doubt between her loyalty and her conscience has appeared in episode 2, and perhaps episode 5...
Seeing from episode 4's preview, i don't think Io will meet her dead mother. Her "meeting with dead mother" has been changed by "can't see her name in a 'missing people board'."
Fumi won't be in front line. Chance to expose her past will be less...

again, these are minor things and these are what i think.

about your comment on what will be reduced.

seeing the game, the plot is really a far from being in 13 episodes. I personally prefer the 24 episodes (or longer), but what i said only makes my opinion looks like leaning to 13 episode...

Seeing as ep. 6 ends Tuesday (Day3) and eps. 7 and 8 are at least parts 1 and 2 of Wednesday (Day 4), they could squeeze it into 13 with 2 eps per day (5 and 6) and 1 for Sat (Day 7), but that does seem super rushed...
