'Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san' 2nd Season in Production

all i honestly have to say is

@EcchiGodMamster

Beach time! :D

There are some lewd scenes in the next volumes by the way~

@NewestPersonHere a beach episode? Count me in 😂 better have Yuki

Can we stop calling stuff like that a second season? It's just taking a quarter off from producing a single season because... not sure, poor management? Short attention span of the audience? Tax reasons? The last episode just ended like every one before it without any significant conclusion or closure. They just stopped making the show for the next 3 months. It's the same for any other 24 episode show nowadays.

@Antanaru It's officially being promoted as season two, so "we" are calling it season two. I don’t know what reasons are behind this and to be honest I don’t want to speculate, but if you want, take this as a pure formality.

@RobertBobert Guess industry standards really plummeted if you can make a season without an ending or beginning then. Series used to have self-contained arcs, now self-contained seasons are too much to ask for.

@Antanaru I can only guess, but as far as I can see, the very idea of ​​continuous multiple courses is now considered problematic and risky. Although if you remember, 15-20 years ago it was considered normal to allocate 20+ episodes to a pure SoL like K-ON! . Nowadays, a stereotype has even formed that two or more cours mean a more solid plot than in a conventional one cour show.

@RobertBobert I understand studios, or rather production committees, being reluctant to commit to making a long running show with how entertainment consumption looks nowadays, but I still have a gripe with this artificial season splitting and making breaks in the broadcast when I'm almost sure every split cour series is planned from the beginning as a 24/26 episodes show. I doubt the production would be cancelled even with bad ratings.

@malvarez1 Isn't it just Uesaka Sumire fans?
