COVID is over, so why is this being split? Not only that but 16 episodes?

Let white fox cook there’s nothing wrong with the splitting of arcs if it means that we get quality > quantity lol you can’t wait for two months?

Covid was over and they still splited witch from mercury, mushuku Tensei season 2 and Birdie wing girl golf story. Split cour are the norm with how the industry lack employees and with that a lot of outsourcing so with that in mind re;zero a 2 months break it got off easy.

1. To make the quality of fighting animation even more polished.

2. 16 episodes because arc length? It's effectively 19 episodes too.

I'll gladly give them two month to let the show cook even more in the oven.

Production reasons primarily, to give the teams time to focus on each part individually. Plus rumor is that 22 more episodes will be announced in March

You can argue that they should've released it all at once in 2025 but I think they have reasons or maybe the story works better that way. I can't say as I'm anime only. However, I won't ever complain about a studio taking their time for a show after the Blue Lock distaster.

Pretty sure it was planned.
This season is listed as sixteen episodes, which with those eight weeks missing would be exactly two cours. It's all in order to maintain perfect pacing for better quality of adaptation.
White Fox is going 500 IQ move.

Why are people whining so much? Give them their time. If you know anything about the Anime industry you wouldn't complain. They need their time for a healthy production schedule

Yes, give the animators time to finish ALL the episodes like we've seen with well scheduled anime (such as Mob Psycho). They should have released all 16 episodes next year. Idk why people defend split cours when it's clearly the company RUSHING the animators to put out the product as fast as possible instead of waiting for the entire season to be finished.

Because arc 5 and 6 are extremely heavy to adapt all in one go. White Fox have given Rezero fans 0 reason to not trust them

I think it’s because Fujiwara (PA) left, causing delay issues. It could be that or a different reason.

We are most likely getting Arc 6, so that means we're getting 30+ episodes, I'm very ok with a three month hiatus if that's the case.

Quality over quantity. Also, first episode was like 90 minutes so you had even more screentime than like Konosuba which usually had 10 or 11 episodes per season. Also, if the rumor about arc 6 is true we will have a lotta more.
If you don't have any patience for content just read the light novel.

People giving excuse after excuse, meanwhile Frieren exists with 28 episodes (4 episodes combined at the start ), no split cours, no drop in quality despite action-y second half.

It can be done.

To let their animators see they're family.

@Sigmar-Unberogen That kind of comparison is really dumb. It's like saying "why can't be every studio be like KyoAni" as if it's a simple and straightfoward as that.

Frieren was a project deliberately given to a team that consistenly had some of the best freelancers in the industry, with a good enough schedule given by the committee, but that still had to face a few roadbloacks during it's production - such as Keiichiro Saito directing Bocchi even though Frieren was offered first -, and had to circumvent around that with multiple outsourced episodes and generally keeping more limited approaches so that the priority episodes could pop off. It was a good final product, but it was not a breeze to do.

On the other hand, White Fox has been losing important staff in regards to both in-house members and valuable freelancers over the years, and even though there has been an attempt at in-house training that has worked well, they're still not in a perfect position, specially when they had to produce a 3-cour season of Re:Zero simultaneously with an on-going 3-cour adaptation of Sengoku Youko.

It's not about "giving excuses", the industry is consistently terrible, making a series this long (specially if you want it to not crash) is way harder now than it was decades ago, and most studios are not capable of handling it.

It sucks that I have to wait 2 months for cour 2 so I hope the wait is worth it. If I have to wait 2 months because they are still "cooking" then I don't mind, I prefer quality over quantity and if waiting 2 months means that I will get better animation in the upcoming fights then the wait is going to be worth it, however, if I get shitty animation then no, the wait wasn't worth it.

Doesn't chane the fact it can be done. Madhouse did it, White Fox couldn't do it. That's just a fact. You're still using excuses like Frieren got lucky, White Fox losing staff, most studios aren't capable of handling such workload, industry is terrible etc. Comparison isn't dumb just because you chose to cope.

Again, I said it can be done. Doesn't mean it's easy, or every studio should be like Madhouse or Kyoani...

That's literally what my argument is, and you're agreeing. I don't know if you're just stupid enough to not understand what I said or just that obsessed with being right that you things fly over your head, but whatever.

I'm not "using excuses", I'm not "coping", I'm stating obvious facts about the industry and contexts about each of these studios, something that's not that hard to actually research and you would known too instead of obsessing over being right.

That's called projecting my friend; you even repeated yourself twice there. Let me assure you, you're being all triggered and butthurt for absolutely no reason.

My initial statement is pretty simple. I'm saying that you can have high quality, long running shows (11+ episodes), like Frieren, without splitting it for whatever reasons. That's basically it.

A statement this simple shouldn't warrant a reply to begin with. It's like me saying water is wet. There's nothing to discuss, it's a simple fact. Yet you still decided to reply thanks to your own stupid assumption that I meant this: "why can't be every studio be like KyoAni".

You then elaborate on whatever reasons as if there was ever a need for it. People in this thread have been using excuses such as "staff needs to rest" or "it's done in order to ensure animation quality doesn't drop" etc. Their, and your excuses that White Fox couldn't do what Madhouse did, doesn't at all invalidate my statement that it can be done. Your "obvious facts" were meaningless, but you were apparently too stupid to realize this. Maybe now you understand?

If you still want to continue this meaningless discussion, do it after you've calmed your tits.
