The title speaks for itself. This arc, Shuugeki-hen, should be 8 episodes long, and the next arc, Hangeki-hen, should have its own entry beginning in Feb 5th. This is basically a Part I and Part II and should be treated like so.

Ecchi is Love.. Ecchi is Life

We won't have a season like Winter 2020 ever again...

They’ve done it for animes with way shorter breaks, but I still feel they do it too much

I do completely agree. They even did it with the the second season, so why not the third? Odd choice but I guess we’ll have to put the show “on hold” until February.

What would even actually change if that was the case?
Nothing.

Since when is it that particular arcs need to be cut out and rated seperatly?
This arc isn't even finished at the time you want to make the cut.

Imagin if One Piece would adapt this line of thinking xD
Everyone would have 500+ watched Anime, on the profile

It's not an issue.

It would be nice, but this will all be Arc 5 (same could be said for how they did Arc4 but eh) and since we're most likely getting Arc 6, that'll be when they separate the two.

Well, if it is officially confirmed that the season is split in 2 cours, then MAL should separate them as it's done with every other anime. Can't remember if there are any exceptions.

disagree. they should split arc 5 and arc 6 content when we get there for sure, but splitting arc 5 doesnt make sense. unless you want some AoT situation where theres 3/4 parts of one season

You first need to understand that the separation does not occur arbitrarily because MAL wants it, but rather because they are guided by how the season is understood and publicized by the anime production committee itself, if they consider it a second part then it is a second part, if it is just a break then it is just a break.

Well, they separated Tower of God for whatever reason, don't see why they shouldn't do the same here as well.

You are talking sense. Having that extra entry on my watched list would make me that little bit happier 😊

Part 2 is not a new Arc.. it's still Arc 5 so why do we need another entry?

No, there is enough stupidities na MAL as is. Like split in Tower of God Season 2. IMHO all things like "Season 2 Part 1" and "Season 2 Part 1" should be merged into one entry, because it's produced as one season.

WTF are you on about? The next 8 episodes are not a seperate new arc. It's the 2nd half of arc 5 and it'll air in just a few weeks. It would make more sense to make this argument for the first 5 episodes of JJK S2 or something, since that was actually a seperate arc.

simple answer, because the Japanese are considering it as just one part.

I hate it when different streaming services/anime databases differ on how they deal with seasons and episode numbering. Like on Crynchyroll they don't reset the episode count at the start of a new season. So for Re: Zero, episode 1 of the 3rd season is episode 51 on Crunchyroll. It drives me nuts.
