It's amazing we got the announcement for the next season but they still have a lot of material left to adapt
I hope it won't be rushed and gets at least 24 episodes

I'm personally expecting a split 3-cour season for this. Eith the amount of stuff we have to do, and split cour is clearly the way of the future

Yes. If this is the final season, we need at least 3 cours.

I just hope they don't pull a Tokyo ghoul or Promised Neverland and just rush the final few arcs.
The staff has done a phenomenal job so far and even Riichiro Inagaki is involved in the production it seems so let's hope for the best.

@LyLord As defined on ANN - It is a measurement of the length of a television series. A one-season series (of generally 13 weekly episodes) is described as being "one cours" long, while a two-season series (of generally 26 episodes) would be described as "two-cours."

Although generally 13 episodes, the exact number of episodes in a cours can vary. It is often between 11 and 14 episodes, with 13 being the most common count.

I think after seeing how well they handled the 'Fruits Basket' adaptation and how it's been for Dr. Stone as well, I doubt they will do it now.

But then again, you never know. I hope it doesn't turn out that way, of course.

91 chapters remain and usually any tv adaptation is max 4 chapters per episode so they can do it in 2 cours or 24 episodes for the final season

Every episode covers roughly 2-3 chapters, and there are around 90 chapters left, soo that would mean at 30 episodes at least.

@LyLord It refers to the parts in which a season is released, for example the third season (New World) was two cour, one releasing half a year ago, the other finishing today. A cour in this case is a release window of usually around 12 episodes, which are released one week at a time. Because it is hard for animation studios to get time slots for 24 weeks straight and just easier to have a bit more time to finish the second half of your release, a lot of modern anime are released in cours with normally around 3 to 6 months of pause between the end of one cour and the start of the next. Hope this was helpful, you're welcome

90 chapters to adapt. New World was adapting on average 2.409 chapters per episode, which would result in "Science Future" having 37.358 episodes. So they're either:

  • Going to rush through some of the boring parts, and by that I mean some episodes would adapt 4 or even 5 chapters instead of the usual 2-3
  • Adapt it as 3 split cours
  • End it with a TV special (like the Ryuusui one) or a movie
  • Outright skip stuff (unlikely imo)

Let's check out the pacing thus far:

Counting the Ryusui special as 2 episodes, the anime has adapted 142 chapters (source: the wiki) in 59 episodes. That's a rate of 2.41 chapters/episode. The entire manga is 233 chapters, so that's 97 episodes, or 38 remaining episodes.

Yeah, that's 3 seasons of 13 eps each. (I have no idea if the manga has any filler or chapters that can be dropped)

But if the final season of the show goes crazy with the cours like AOT, it'll probably be fine.

I love the Dr Stone manga, but one of my biggest gripes with the last few arcs is the absolute breakneck level of pacing
so I'm also hoping for a 3-cour season or at least 2 cours plus a movie/special. Anything less than that and the already fast-paced final arcs will become even more rushed. If anything I hope the anime slows things down a bit (unlikely).

I mean even plot-wise, going to the moon is a long process even with all the manpower in the world (assuming they even managed to get that) even more so having to rebuild everything from scratch.

As a manga reader, I can confirm that 3 cours is a bare minimum to adapt everything rather faithfully. But even then, some things would have to be rushed or omitted, which wouldn't be cool and definitely would feel odd, given how great Dr. Stone anime adaptation has been like so far.

Since most likely there won't be any special episode (I assume it won't, because there hasn't been any announcement regarding it), like that Ryuusui one, I hope that after at least three cours, the final bit of the story will be adapted in a movie format, or something like long special episode, like in Attack on Titan final episodes' case.

Dr. Stone cours tend to be on the shorter side so I predict 3x 11 episodes, and that would be near perfect. I am not a fan of final-cour-as-movie but if that is the only way we get a complete adaptation, I wouldn't complain.

i added up the pages for the remaining manga
at a rate of about 45 pages per episode there is enough manga left for 44 episodes if you include the one shot and the current spin off, if you dont include them its enough for 38 episodes
they really should have did 2 more seasons but if they are only doing 1 more season it needs a bare minimum of 33 episodes

@ToleratedToast6 you are right, there should be about 2000 chapers left to adapt

This is probably gonna be the case yeah

I don't remember exactly how it went but I did some calculation with the amount of chapters and what arcs they belonged to and came to the conclusion that 2 cour + movie is the best course of action
So hopefully that's what they do

as a survival fan i was a bit letdown as they don't really explore deeper about primitive era. i guess primitive era hardship is hard to relate for jp.

Not to piss on people's parade, but I have to ask.
I watched s1 and thought it was generic. I watched s2 and thought it got worse.
So since s2, what direction has the show gone in to? Adventure probably? Drama unlikely?, Romance very unlikely? Action similar to Tokyo Revengers?
I don't know if I'll come back to it, but if it gets a little darker like Boku no hero Academia or Hunter x Hunter (2011), then I might be interested.

I really had no idea but it does make sense but to me it would sound more logical to call it a course as in what you would do in a restaurant and the last “course” could be the end of the season as intended idk maybe im making it to complicated

@BB1997 "The term "cour" comes from Japanese broadcasting lingo where it's french for "quarter." It literally means "quarter year." A show that runs 1 cour runs for 3 months, regardless if it's 10-13 episodes. 2-cour is half a year; 3-cour 3/4ths, 4-cour a full year. A season is one continuous run of episodes." sometimes googling does solve your problem, had no idea about this, nice to know
