Literally everyone: "This season is absurdly dragged out and void of substance, get on with it!"

The episodes will probably be around ~25 minutes and ~40 minutes long when you remove all the breaks.

These final 100 minutes will be based on exactly 1,75 chapters and this overall monstrosity of a season is based on 9 chapters that don´t contribute too much to the final arc. They should have invented an anime-only mission that accompanies the training and builds up the final conflict if filler was the only option as dragging the season into more than 4 regular episodes created slower pacing than in One Piece. 12 eps for 9 chapters, Jesus. Or air 2 TV specials after the mini-season based on the Gaiden manga. A season's worth of dead air is now forever part of this show, one that only had a single filler ep before and it only existed to justify Mugen Train´s recut into episodes.

Define filler ?

There is no 100% anime filler - 2 weeks spent dragging out circa 3 pages of a single chapter for the sake of an extra blu-ray volume

Last 3 weeks could have been done in 1 6 instead of 8

Apart from that sin followed the manga pretty faithfully

In any case with 40 mins next week and 60 minute finale were on for an epic UFO Table troll cliffhanger says I. The “drop” is on!

spoiler[I’m thinking they will end the season at the point Muzan drops them in to the infinity castle and then announce 2 or 3 part movie finale.]

What if that's not the case? Like it really will be as long commercial free?

it is the case. it's always been the case. double episode "60 min" slot always means around 40 min net time, they have been doing this every season since season 2.
a 40 min time slot will be 30 min or less.
when they extend the episode they also add another one or two commercial breaks.

You really, really don't need to mention the same un-clever spoiler in every single comment you make in every thread about this series.

I am baffled that they can get away more extended episodes this season. Confused

I've thought since the end of Swordsmith Village that they wouldnt end the Hashira Training Arc EXACTLY where the manga ends the arc.

It would be really lame if it ended with spoiler[Muzan showing up at the mansion and cut to black ]

At least it gives the season a decent finish as these "extend 1 - 2 pages of manga" to full episodes has made me loose the will to live at times.
