Seirei Gensouki Anime Announcement

realistically Vol 4 would be the last place to end it on a decent note with simply a cutscene showing future characters (satsuki and liselotte) since starting with Vol 5 the story has run with little to no stopping point nor major time skips that could be used as one unless they stop mid volume though that would question where at as Celia's wedding would be a weird part to end as would the monster carriage attack and any later is just asking for a minimum mid Vol 11 run (post takashitsa punch)
in all i see Vol 5- vol 11 as a long continuous run better suited for its own season if ever.

i do hope that getting an anime doesn't slow down/ delay the Ln's in japan as it does sometimes happen

@whyohwhy1 We're still catching up to Japanese release, I think their latest volume is 17, to be released soonish.
As for the anime, I expect it to be quick paced and if they are smart, they stop at volume 4.

Yep, and pre-orders for the ebook version finally opened up like yesterday or today.

I'm looking forward to this. I just hope that they do a good job with it. It's a great story that deserves to be well represented as far as an anime goes. The preview look pretty good quality wise so here's to hoping. 🤞

The issue is the slow build up of the series and how the arc system was drafted.
To me, my least favourite, in the sense of reading constantly, is the 2nd volume. My favourite of the early arcs is the 5th, silver bride, and volume 3 of the Yamato arc. Both are self enclosed enough to be read alone.Sadly, I fear for the slow build up if only a 12/13 episode season cour. Seirei needs a 24/25 to bring it up to volume 5 which is a good enough end point. This would only be possible in a 1213 single season (as expected) if the episodes are rushed through, or the second volume is rushed through with volume 4 as well.
Personally I regard, volume 1, 3 and 5 as being the true essentials of the early series. Everything else is for icing.

I agree that 13 episodes is way to short. Unfortunately, too many new anime series are capped at 13 episodes max, with no second season ever being produced. Bad part is, most stories would start to get really good where a second season, episodes 14-26, would be. It's a conundrum, but unfortunately anime has devolved into more of a marketing tool that anything.

@shrike_al Well, he is the harem king, after all.

I'm cautiously hopeful. It would do better with longer multiple seasons and proper development. Don't know if that will actually happen. I'll definitely watch it.
-
@Gamen I'm right there with you. It'll be a 12 episode run that quits before it really takes off

It would be good if it did. But, unfortunately, most anime only get the 12-13 episodes and that is it. We are, however, seeing a resurgence in anime with 24-26 episodes or anime with multiple seasons so there is some hope, but I would not get my hopes up as this only applies to a select few anime.
