>four episodes
Wait, 4 episodes is the lenght of the season? That's barely a movie lenght story, might as well have been OAVs.

Dayum

Wait what? 4 episodes???
>No Okamura Tensai
DTB3 confirmed
>>139175290
This is fucking retarded as hell,fuck A-1 and their shilling.By August they will already have 80 chapters to adapt,more than enough for a 2 cour series.
Ten Commandments arc needs to finish before they turn it into an anime, crisis adverted.
>>139175290
Jesus fucking christ. I just marathoned this knowing a season 2 was coming.
I loved the fuck out of it too and you're telling me I just get 4 episodes?
Shit, might as well read the fucking thing now.
4 episodes won't be enough to sate my Gowther lust.
>>139176860
Read the manga,the anime is garbage compared to it.It's rushed as hell and takes away all of the intensity out of the fights,also skips scenes of character development and arious other plot points.
>>139176594
>adapting another 100+ chapters into a 2 cour show
Just kill me.
>>139176952
So I'm skimming through the chapters trying to get a bead on where the anime leaves off and I stumble across this shit.
Is this a joke? There were never any "power levels" in the anime. I know it's a battle shounen, but this is blatant DBZ tier shit.
>>139177345
It got introduced after the arc in the anime. It's real shit and I think the mangaka agrees since he hasn't mentioned it much anymore.
>>139177345
The anime left off at around chapter 100 but if you jump straight in you will have no idea what's going on since the anime skipped several important plot point.
And yes while the power levels are a bit annoying,they hold no relevance what so ever to the story,they're just there to pay homage to DB and give you a slight idea of how overpowered the new antagonists are.
>>139177345
>So I'm skimming through the chapters trying to get a bead on where the anime leaves off
just read the whole thing
the anime skips a bunch of shit and is worse in general
>>139177438
So just real the whole thing?
>>139177533
Yes,the manga as a whole is way better than the anime in terms of atmosphere,action and backgrounds.Read it to get the superior NnT experience.
>>139175290
Fuck that A-1 are absolute autists, i mean 4 eps?
Time to move on to the manga..
>>139175290
>original story by mangaka Nakaba Suzuki
Wait, I thought Netflix made it?
>>139178510
You're clearly shitposting but kill yourself regardless.
>>139175290
If they're doing only 4 episodes, those idiots could have at least gone for the Edinburgh side story. Would have properly set up hype levels for any followup full length series they'd someday make.
I hope it means we get some early Escanor
Is this actually the second season or is it just setup for the second season?
168 spoilers
Are you fucking ready for things to happen?
"Ten Commandments extermination operation"
Borderland Zeldon.
Gustav, Guila and her subordinate Nikka (the real identity is Veronca)
see the land wrecked by Dreyfus and got directly called by Denzel.
Deldrey has sustained an injury but Denzel and everyone else are safe.
Fraudrin is being tormented by the dead even now
but he doesn't seem very much worried.
On the contrary, he somehow calmly considers there isn't "someone" among the dead.
Only one of the spies Denzel sent is alive and has returned.
According to the report of Invisible, the (female) fairy wearing nothing but knee-high socks,
[TN: Yeah, apparently, that's what 裸ニーソ (naked+socks) means.]
nine towns and villages of various sizes got totally destroyed by the Ten Commandments, Camelot fell too.
Denzel already knows about the Great Fight Festival,
and carries out the operation to subjugate the Ten Commandments, Gowther included.
Meanwhile, Gowther, the object of subjugation,
says that he will get the "heart" in the event he won the festival tourney.
His opponent is the duo Escanor/Hawk.
Hawk: "He's a small fry."
End texts: "…you!!"
"What is the real nature of Gowther the Lust… or the Selflessnes!? The all-out battle between Sins begins now!!"
To be continued in chapter 169 / The legendary weakest Holy Knight.
>>139175290
Why not a movie if you're gonna do only 4 episodes?
>>139175290
It blatantly says it's a special, not the second season, which will air later in the year.
>>139181346
>escanor is gonna job to gowther
>>139181644
It's probably to lead the anime original ending into the proper track. Dawn Roar will be massacred, Hendy's arm will fly away, Ban will leave properly, some Diane/King drama and an original story to tie it all together. Maybe even a Gowther vs Slader flashback.
>>139181977
It would be kinda amusing if that was the reason. A-1 fucking up so hard that they need to do extra damage control episodes to bring things back on track.
>>139181346
>On the contrary, he somehow calmly considers there isn't "someone" among the dead.
It's Zarathras, right? He was missing in that chapter. Who else would he consider?
>>139182027
It could be multipe birds with one stone. They want S2, but the manga is behind, so they have to wait a little. But wait too much and the intrest in the series drops. It's the best tactic, four episodes to keep us busy and intrested in S2, stalling for the manga, and they can right their wrongs.
>>139181346
>the (female) fairy wearing nothing but knee-high socks
Suzuki knows what's up.
>four episodes
>>139175290
Four episodes total, or they just mean 4 episodes in August, as in 1 per week, then the rest in September, October, etc?
>>139182310
It's tv special like Hanamonogatari, not tv series
>>139177533
>>139181346
>Gilthunder's dad is missing from Fraudrin's memories
>Someone revived him and he's at the tournament as the guy who was paired with a demon

O-ok
>>139181346
>According to the report of Invisible, the (female) fairy wearing nothing but knee-high socks,
I see he's trying to make up for the tentacle debacle.
>>139181977
Pelliot is on the poster, so it wouldn't be surprising.
>>139184186
He doing a good job of it, so far. Dem fetish fairies.
>>139184267
Now that you mention it, he really is there. I see
>Hendy's flying hand
Missing scene
>Pelliot
Missing scene, either flashback, which makes little sense with the Armor Giant anime original story, or Gowther will come across him after the Hendricksen fight
>Gowther and Guila
probably a short story of their love life
>Slader and Jericho
probably original story, or flashback to Gowther vs Slader missing scene
>Royal family
probably original story
>Diane and King
probably an original story with them on the festival together, then explains the Diane/King memory drama's start
>Merlin
probably original
>Gil, Hauser and Griamor plus Vivian
probably original, since Vivian is there
>Ten Commandments
probably there entrence scene
>Mel and Ban
something
Seems to me it will be a mixture of missing scenes with original stories to glue them together, so we'll be busy till S2.

>>139183825
OST at this point was great though.
>>139183600
No retard it's four episodes
>>139183825
You missed the most important comparison.
The anime made best girl look like shit in her opening shot.
>>139181644
>>139182108
>>139183593
>>139183600
HeroAca 13 episodes (April to June)
Arslan 4 episodes (July)
Nantsu 4 episodes (August)
Arslan 4 more episodes (September)
Gundam IBO S2 (October)
4 episodes are airing in August is what the announcement says not altogether on one day. Nichigo really fucked themselves in the ass this year so either Banrise paid out the ass for IBO to be on there or they just went overboard with the continuation announcments due to how well NnT and Arslan did ratings wise.

>4 week tv special
This is really just backpedaling for their premature announcment that the second season will air in 2016. Arslan is most likely only going to be 8 episodes since there's not much material left to cover since the anime already passed the manga and heading to novels. Ironically IBO S2 fucked everything up.
>>139185037
>best girl
But Gerharde didn't even appear yet
>>139183825
>>139185037
Comparing the manga to anime is dumb, stop being dumb. We're never ever ever gonna get an anime where all the amazing shots in the manga are 1:1 to the anime unless it's CGI.
The anime is good, sure they changed things but what adaptation doesn't? Learn to enjoy the differences.
>>139185367
>The anime is good
It's not. There's no point to watching it when its toned down, sloppy and entirely inferior to the manga.
>>139185367
>The anime is good
>>139184795
MUH
They better not fucking wait just to rush everything into a second season.
>>139185265
>The original announcement of the new television anime series had stated that the new series would feature the same staff, but Sunday's announcement lists a different staff.
So they started S2, but can't make it in time, so used a different staff to quickly make 4 episodes to sate our hunger for NnT anime? Does it mean S2 will come in winter?
>>139184795
I'm guessing Nakaba sent them a memo explaining how Pelliot will be relevant somewhere down the road, and now has to fix their fuck up with original content.
>>139186034
Unless they use a different timeslot, no S2 until 2017.
>>139186036
Even if it was anime original, I prefer how they handled Gowther first appearance in the anime.
>>139186036
>Kid was important enough to get a page in the fanbook
>A-1 didn't think there'd be a problem if they cut him out
Top kek
>>139186036
>I'm guessing Nakaba sent them a memo explaining how Pelliot will be relevant somewhere down the road
Same here, though I don't really see how will he be important. Only thing I can think about is that somehow Gowther goes back to be a Commandment and Pelliot will be the one to set him straight.
>>139185152
>>139185265
But is IBO confirmed for same timeslot?
>>139185367
That's not the problem. The problem is that they made key frames look like shit.
It's worse with that Merlin shot, the one with Gilthunder is shit but it can still slide because even though it was a keyframe, it wasn't a vital one. That keyframe with Merlin was the first time the audience would see her, that shot would influence their first impressions of her. And yet they screwed it up and made it quality. Animation 101, you don't screw up the character's first appearance.
>>139185289
Gloxinia get off 4chan
>>139186102
>Even if it was anime original, I prefer how they handled Gowther first appearance in the anime
I really don't agree with this. Gowther pitied Dale, but didn't really care about him as such. Having him read books to demon Dale was really tacky and made little sense.
>>139184795
You know what I want?
A short scene what happened with Veronica and how she got from Byzel to Lyoness.
This is one of the few scenes that I agree with the shitposters was quite forced.
>>139186523
This shot really wasn't a QUALITY one, it's just that they changed a bit Merlin's design.
>taizai animefags
Absolutely fucking disgusting. You plebs better read everything and get the real experience if you know what's good for you.
>>139186719
This is explained in one of the question corners.
Eli unknowingly revives her (but doesn't completely heal her) and then she is nursed back to health by Griamore in a cabin at the lake he was going to bury her next to.
I doubt this will explicitly shown in the manga because it sounds like it was cut due to time constraints.
>>139187146
Really?
How much time passed between the Byzell tournament and the point Vivian kidnapped Elizabeth?
>>139187395
We don't have a exact time, but not a lot. Just after the tournament they find Gowther and just after that they kidnap Elizabeth.
I'm guessing one or two weeks.
>>139187395
The shit with Vivian happened a day before the tournament. Vaizel wasn't far, because they could see the fireworks from Byron.
>>139187466
>one or two weeks
It's closer to two to three days, but we don't really know how many days passed between Vaizel and Orden.
Elizabeth is bedridden with a fever all of a sudden, so at least a day or two must have passed. She recovers like an hour later.
I'm guessing Vivian kidnaps her the next day, because it doesn't seem like they've done anything.
>>139187550
>Vivian
Meant Veronica
>>139187770
I added a few days of traveling, but yes, in the end, barely any time passed.
>>139187055
What're you gonna do, shine on me?
>>139187825
If you look at the map; Byron, Vaizel and Ordan are basically right next to each other, but I suppose it could take a day to travel between them.
>>139187055
What's more powerful, Purgatory fire or Sunshine?
>>139187055
Dude. Another adaptation means more porn.
>>139188097
If we consider the same quantity, probably Purgatory, since it is a special power, but Escannors pure presence emits destruction.
>>139188234
>more porn
. . .
Fair enough. But they have to stay far away from our threads!
>>139189466
...and by "they" I mean the animefags, not the pornography.
Definitely not the pornography.
>4 episodes
Why even bother?
>>139185152
>>139185265
I don't care much for the anime, but these short series are worrying.
>>139188234
More porn of only Elisabeth and sometimes Diane? Yay, fuck you.
>>139181837
Gowther is the only one who can safely lose, though. But I suppose if they're not instantly killed and only imprisoned, Escanor can lose and later break out.
>>139181837
As much as I like Escanor, he doesn't need to win this tournament. He's already done enough to show that he's OP as hell, he doesn't need more.
Some untranslated Omake
>>139192406
>>139192446
>>139192492
end
>>139186490
Most likely yes. It's horseshit because IBO had the worst ratings in the block while NnT and Arslan had some of the best so all this is just to avoid breaking their contract. If IBO does wind up being something like a movie, ova or moving to a different timeslot then by all means S2 is a go though there's a possibility BnHA is a split cour as well, either way it's a clusterfuck.
It's a shit show anyways. First 5 episodes were al right though. But everything is so generic and forced it ain't even funny.
>>139194106
I'm so glad you came in to tell us this. Without your help, I might still have been under the impression that I enjoyed it and wanted a second season.

The anime industry can barely manage it's own schedules and check it's excess of production so why not TV studios. Japan really isn't all that bright a country these days in general, maybe it's too many years of Abe. Anyway it's no wonder more and more pointless one hour movies are getting g made now, there's literally not enough TV space to accommodate the sheer amount of crap this industry wants to pump out now. I guess lucky for companies like Bandai they literally own their own satellite channel and streaming service but everyone else....
>>139195511
This is probably why you're seeing so many announcements for shit sometime in 2017, just literally not enough space for it to air at the moment. I'm amazed the industry is actually going to double down on production for a 4th consecutive year when all signs and schedules scream "stop you're already massively over encumbered"
>>139195238
Get out, normalshit
>>139191499
Diane gets actually as much fan art as Elizabeth.
Also have faith. I think there is already enough fan art. There are just not enough western fags who load that shit up.
>>139196938
But when will I get fanart for my sweetZaneli?
>>139196938
Except it's mostly only for these two. The other girls barely gets any, and let's not even try to think about the male antagonists like Galan.
>>139197205
Who?
Wow, only four episodes? I looking forward to a new full season.
>>139197485
Druid chick who is into Mel. I liked her simplistic design along with her sister.
>>139181346
Finally! Time for Best boy Gowther. Escanor a shit.
>>139181346
>On the contrary, he somehow calmly considers there isn't "someone" among the dead.
From the wiki: The druids are said to be able to use the power of nature to heal grievous wounds that are considered fatal.
I don't actually remember where was this said in the manga, but if it's true, is it possible that Zarathras somehow survived that skewering?
>>139198357
This will be a joke fight and Hawk will win.
>>139181346
Who is in team with Gowther again?
>>139201160
It's Jericho.
>>139201160
Janko.
>>139201160
So it confirms the losers won't die right away, right? I mean nor Jericho nor Escanor or Hawk could survive if defeat means death. Probably Gowther wins and Escanor will bust out from the palm when it's noon.
>>139175290
Wait, what?
Only four fucking episodes?
Into the trash it goes, fuck them all.
>People think 4 episodes is a bad thing, rather than a good thing
They really saved themselves from completely fucking up S2. At least now there's a sliver of chance that it's good, where as before there was no way given the amount of chapters available to animate.
>>139203783
I think you skipped some pages.
>>139203783
>>139203821
the whole thing isn't out
>>139203898
>>139203738
It's the same page.
>>139203846
Deldrey is a cute.
>>139203956
That's it
>>139203947
Yeah, but different source, so I posted it anyway
>>139181346
>According to the report of Invisible, the (female) fairy
The woman on Denzel's sword perhaps?
>>139204538
Don't think so. She's merely one of the spies that came out alive to report to Denzel.
