Sincerely doubt that it will be another 12 episodes considering the 6th fight is currently still ongoing. Even 10 episodes would be way big of a stretch for the 4th and 5th fight.

So my guess is that this will be just the Jack vs. Hercules fight, and they will continue with this format onwards.

But above all else, have some good animation quality this time, please!

More Slide action?

Wait, this series did decent enough to get a second season? All I ever heard is that the animation for the fights- which is the whole draw of the show in the first place- was pretty bad. So I definitely didn't see a second season being possible.

Maybe from the beginning it was planned to have a second season or was successful enough on Netflix for that.

Anyway I'm not excited.

Is it too much to hope for a budget improvement...?

Obelisk ze Tormentor · 2021-08-18, 20:46

So, I haven't watched the first season but I have a question for those who have watched it & like it: What is the appeal of the show other than watching random characters fight?

I mean, the characters in the show really don't represent their "real life" myth & historical depictions in terms of looks & powers. So why even attach names like Kojiro, Thor, Zeus, etc when they feel like entirely different characters? It feels like Fate nonsense but with less Lore.

Golden Kamuy is an example of a series in which the seasons were improving in quality with each new production, but in the case of shummatsu we would be talking about something totally different.

The fights are cool, the narrative is captivating, the design is incredible, the plot is becoming more complex as the story unfolds, there are many charismatic characters (a lot)... And the main interesting point is that it is a tournament without a specific protagonist, which increases the excitement about who can win. Adam vs. Zeus was a shock to a lot of people about how it ended.

I think the series has a lot of good points. the current fight in the manga is incredibly interesting.

Thanks for your input, Max. I'll keep that in mind.

I suspect there is a mistake in the thread's title.

ANN says that Season 1 premieres on television this Fall, while Season 2 got announced. So no, they are not about to continue this 1.5 months later with no PV out yet.

It remained in my country's Netflix top ten for a little while, so I assumed it did well. Since Netflix rarely if ever releases numbers, that's as good an indication as any.

15 episodes are confirmed for Season 2.

First 10 episodes will be available on the 26th of January. The rest follows with no date yet in 2023.

Season 1 adapted 20 chapters more or less in 12 episodes. This one will adapt about 34 chapters. On paper the pacing is better, but I still think it will drag a lot, especially if the intention is 5 episodes per fight.

Finished watching it. The animation is exactly on the same level as that of season 1. Shiva vs Raiden was quite the slideshow.

Currently number 2 on Netflix in my country, I don't think even Cyberpunk: Edgerunners ranked that high as far as anime go. Third season is pretty much as good as confirmed, it's cheap to make and it's popular. No reason not to order another season.
