KonoSuba had 2 episodes/vol and they only adapted 2 vols for each season.
(well, but they also have a bonus game)

Sukasuka anime staff just have to take their time.
Now, excuse me, I need to go back into that corner I was I haven't finished feeling depressed.

No way 25 LN chapters in 12 episodes...
Either rushed or incomplete adaptation.

Welp when my friend hears this news he will get killed, unless the staff can manage to handle the adaptation pretty good with that gap. Not really sure.

Why did I find this a coincidence since someone used this song to describe my pinnacle depression with an idiot for the show? xD

It's too early to say it's ruined, but satelight did rush Vanadis by adapting 5 volumes , so there's always the possibility .

That was completely expected. This doesn't sell the quarter of half of what is necessary to unlock 2 cours seasons.
Believing for a 2 cours despite that was very very unrealistic.

LN Author will be also main writer of anime.
So i think he will know which part he should keep it in anime.

Anyway the cast is up to volume 3 currently, so maybe they only adapt to volume 3.

I had this feeling. Pretty sure they can do it though, the novel is very description and lore heavy and the books other than the fifth aren't large at all when compared to some other novels, when translating what is actual dialogue and actions into the animated form a lot can be covered. I just don't expect people who haven't read the novels to really get the whole picture of what's going on, this one is probably aimed at getting more people to read the novels and give the current readers something nice.

IIRC the flashback is volume 4, and there was some peoples from the cast that are from the flashback scenes, so it's up to volume 4 actually.

The first 4 vol are less than 200 pages, a full adaptation is easy especially with the author working on the anime.

No they're not, they're just slightly below 300 pages, so that's a very common size for bunko size novels volumes in japan.

I just finished reading Volume 3. I think they could adapt through volume 3 at a decent pace, and I thought the author said in an interview that their plans were to adapt through volume 3.

There seems to be a lot of symbolism in the OP but as a reader who has only finished through volume 3, I do not recognize anything else unless some of the symbolism appearing scenes are actual real scenes later in the story.

Based on the first 4 episodes and the current pacing: how many episodes do you think it would take to cover the whole novel?

20~ They adapted 5 chapters in 4 episodes. Some stuff could be condensed, but they can't animate all without rushing.

The next chapters have a lot of informations, that's why they can't rush through the chapters. The first 5 chapters contains a lot of inner monologue and the next chapters have much more important Dialogs. I will hope they will not rush through it.

Not even ever reading the LN, I can tell they're rushing - I don't care enough about Ctholly's character, especially her love interest (the interactions between them are not enough). It would be nice to get a more detailed description of that, like reasons why she is "in love" which in the anime seemingly came out of nowhere? Only male she's known doesn't make me care about that love story which seems to be an integral part of the story moving forward. Eh, seems like they're ruining it. Non-rushed I'd give this a solid 9.5/10.

There may actually be good reason for that though. Ctholly is literally just throwing herself at the only male in her life (nice guy, and not bad looking to boot!) because she's on death row. There's nothing organic about it. Willem points this out in ep2 and tries to avoid her feelings because


From what I've read of the LNs, they should be able to finish everything up in 12 episodes. Volume 4 has a lot of unnecessary fluff which, while nice to read because it gives a lot of background on Willem, can be cut or greatly condensed without harming the greater story too much.

While willem is the only male Kutori ever got to interact with naturally and the most, she has more than just that to love him, and I'll quote it

epis 01-03 = vol 1
epis 04-06 = vol 2

How will this work?

epis 07-09 = vol 3?
epis 10-12 = vol 4?
vol 5?

"Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?" has 5 volumes. (completed)

Maybe a 2 cour anime? or maybe they'll cut something from the 1st one? But so far, they haven't cut anything from the novel. They just reorganized the events.

I don't think that they'll use the "Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Mou Ichido dake, Aemasu ka?"

Maybe 3 OVAs?

I'd say 4 volumes for this season seems the most likely. Otherwise we get a 6 episode volume 3 adaptation which... OK it would be nice but I doubt it. 5 volume adaptation would be way too rushed imo especially since I personally enjoyed volumes 3 and 4 more than 1 and 2 (haven't read 5 yet since it's still getting translated). It wouldn't be the first time a light novel gets an incomplete adaptation...

They'll finish it some way. Never saw a LN already concluded gain an incomplete adaptation. They usually don't receive an adaptation.

It's not concluded though. Just because Aemasu ka? Is treated as a separate light novel doesn't mean it's not part of the same story. From what I gather it's more like the next arc focused on different characters. But who knows, maybe they'll go for the Kokoro Connect approach or something.

They'll most likely end at volume 4 if this is a 12-13 episode thing.

Ep 9, didn't adapt chapter 4 from vol 3. I think they'll stop in vol 3 and maybe vol 4 and 5 in a 2nd season. They still need to adapt the chapters "Before This World Ends" and the "A Now Distant Dream" from vol 1, 2 and 3 (chapter 1 and 5).

Well, I just opened its bakaupdates page, https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=130415 , and saw the translator's name. Next, I googled it (recently bakaupdates isn't keeping the links, probably because copyright holders are too evil) and found the translator's site.
By the way, my claim that it is completely translated was wrong - the 5th (final) volume is in the process of translation now. I guess I should take the previous volumes PDF versions in case the translation is taken down.

Could always use google and type "Novel updates Sukasuka" and should be the very first thing you'll see.
