I still think split cour is the most likely. Considering how slowly the plot progressed in episode 1, part 1 of the story is not going to fit in 13 episodes. (The result is not going to be good if they try anyway...)

That is if they actually finish the story, I think it's most likely that it will be more of a 13 episode advertisement for the game rather than an actual completed adaptation.

I don't think they'd do that. Nothing in the statements made by the staff suggests that.

ANN is a reliable source and those who stated 24+ ep are either old news or do not cite their source. We can assume it’ll be 13 episodes.

Usually those who make this kind of statements (moetron, AIR, etc.) say they get a leak. While they may sometimes be wrong, most of the time they're correct and release news faster than officials.

Recent example is how they leak Bokuben season 2 faster than other sites. Another one was Fire Force, which they said is gonna be 4 cour, while ANN said it's 2 cour based on disc volumes. Fire force is getting season 2 with only 2 seasons gap, and anime series need long time production so it's almost certain that they already planned it to have more than 2 cour since beginning.

I think their 'news' have 90% accuracy. I think Magireco is going to have either the usual split cour or a 2nd cour with longer gap (2 seasons or even 1 year).

2 cour is hoax!
Yes! AIR didn't confirmed japanese original source.
Please don't posting news without japanese (original) source.

This spin-off anime is not an ad for the game.

If MagiReco is gonna be a split cour, I find it more likely that the next cour will take more time, like 2 seasons or a whole year, cause in July, Shaft will be releasing another Mahou Shoujo anime called Assault Lilly Bouquet and it seems strange for them to release 2 animes of the same genre at the same time... They usually don't do that, you know, and it would be damaging to the quality of both productions. I'm really not sure about the split cour rumour but it would be nice if it were true.

This spin-off anime is not an ad for the game.

It is, though.
The game went full newb-friendly for the anime's release. They've clearly set up for a potential influx of new players with the anime out now.

Of course it's an ad. Adaptations always are. But how is that relevant to the discussion?

Apparently, MAL has confirmed it as 13 episodes though. Is there any official statement/source supporting the 1-cour length?

Sadly yes. It's defintely one of the better mobile game adaptations, but the fact that the "source material" and it's story is simply shit (calling a mobile game source material feel pretty weird) makes it imposibble for Magia Record to be anything better than a par decent anime, even with the well known "SHAFT magic", and obviously the original series is a in a whole another tier compared to this.

There's no official information on the length, but for anyone who's seen the first 3 episodes it's quite clear that the story won't be told in 13 episodes.

It's funny that I asked them for a source since the website confirmed 13 episodes like 3 days after they posted this and rather than replying they deleted their tweet. They're trying to be a "news" group. A good journalist admits their music, not hides them.

My guess is they got a leak that said that it will be a TOTAL of X episodes and they misunderstood that to mean that the single season would be that many episodes. Still wrong, still lacking integrity since they deleted the tweet rather t han responding in a reply that they made a mistake. They should only post 100% validated information, not rumors/leaks.

It's not a "Split-cour", it's two separate seasons. there's a difference.

It's like you guys have never watched anime. There are literally hundreds of anime that end with a "and our story goes on" ending. In fact, it's MOST anime. Assuming an anime will tell a full story is a risky bet lol. Also, DVD/Blu-ray listings ARE the official information on length. There are accurate like 99% of the time. Black Clover is and over never-ending anime are the only times you can't rely only them, for obvious reasons.



No, they were not. They said this season was 24-26 episodes. It was 13. They were wrong. We already knew it was gonna be 2 seasons from another leak. That's why a lot of us were questioning the 24-26 count to begin with. "24-26? What about season 2?" They never replied of course and just deleted their original tweet instead

Studios may decide to split their series into separate cours even during airing. It is nothing new.
I assume second cour will air in July.

Are you referring to the way episode 13 had a special ending followed by a teaser clip etc. instead of ending like any other episode? Or the fact that the airing date of season 2 was not announced? None of those are very relevant points in the discussion you are commenting on.

Anyone familiar with the original story was able to predict that the 13 episodes would cover the first half of the story. I don't really understand what is unclear about this.

(fuck MAL i don't know how to make a quote)
Sorry but i don't believe that this is literally "season two"
The way that the anime ended and the evidences says that they already make it to be two cours, but to not harm the quality they just split in two parts.
Its madoka after all they not even need to wait to see if its sucessful or not, and if it cames in less than 1 year just proves it |(after all it the time to make from zero an continuation if it was in the way you say).
