There's also Occultic;Nine. And Overlap NTR-ed Infinite Stratos almost a year before the second season aired.

@zing so it will only go for 13 episodes?!

Its unknown, but I suspect it might be the case.
-
@zing preorders for the blu-rays revealed a couple days ago that it will indeed be 13 episodes plus 2 OVAs.
-
13 episodes are not enough to justify it!!! we need at least 24 episodes!!
-
@legitpancake damn, so we aren't getting v4. IMO that's be the best place to stop for an Arifureta adaptation.
-
@paulnamida I am pretty sure the best place would be after they meet with Tio and sort out the brainwashed hero plot. It has a big fight and character growth, which accidentally happen to be volume 3.
If they try to cram 4 volumes into 13 episodes, it is just going to flop.
-
@zing could be worse. Ragnarok got into volume NINE.
-
@zing of course, but I was saying it in a general sense, if you didn't take into account the time constrictions, the best place to stop would be vol. 4 so you at least resolve Kaori's subplot. The first 4 volumes felt so organic as a whole, and it makes sense, the author originally intended to end the series at that point and leave it as a "their journey goes on" finale after all.
-
@paulnamida I feel like one of us is mistaken, somehow.
During volume 3, Hajime meets his teacher and some of the students for the first time. Gets a pep talk from the teacher, reconsiders his life's choices. Acquires a perverted dragon, becomes a better person. At the end of volume 3, Kaoridiot and CO are in the labyrinth while a shadow is observing them, ready to attack.During volume 4, their group is ambushed by a demon with bunch of monsters and Hajime comes to rescue them.
I have no clue what Kaoridiot subplot you are talking about truth be told.
-
@zing Kaori joins Hajime's party after he rescues them from the labyrinth, so the whole her being left out like comic relief ends and in future volumes her fights with Yue become the new comic relief to break up Tio's excessive panting that gets old really fast. But if you end it there with her joining the party, it seems like a good place to stop for the anime.
-
It's pretty obvious we're going to volume 3 because they show Tio. How much past that, we shall see.
-
Funimation licensed the anime and will be simuldubbing.
-
@paul-nebeling lets just hope they get another season and stay true to the web and light novels
-
@jjch102296 A second season would be nice, but we'll have to see how the first one goes.
-
And now I remember why I hate funimation. Link: https://www.funimation.com/blog/2019/07/02/introducing-the-biggest-isekai-of-the-summer-season-arifureta/ -
@zing Yeah. I can understand geolocking streaming content, but doing that with news and blog posts is dumb.
Crunchyroll are announcing another series that starts today, wouldn't surprise me if it is Arifureta. Due to the delays in production it is highly possible the contracts were signed while the partnership was still in effect.
-
Actually I get geolocking news
Why promote something in a region where it can’t be watched?

The entire website is actually geolocked for me, not just specific blog post.
-
@sniper_samurai We’ll have to see. Hulu is streaming Arifureta since they have a first-choice partnership with Funimation. That said, Wiseman’s Grandchild also streamed on Hulu, but was added to Crunchyroll several weeks later, so it’s still possible if you’re patient. I doubt Crunchyroll’s regions will be any less restrictive than Funimation’s, however (unless it includes the Nordics).
