Maybe they decided to separate it in 2 cours.

Maybe they decided to cut down on the number of episode, any idea what the reception is looking like in japan?

That's a shame, I was kind of expecting it though. Hoping for future season if it it does well.

I've been enjoying the series a lot and seem to be in the minority that thinks the CGI is actually rather good. Best since Karen Senki for me, well for a series anyway.

That is possible, I don't know if they have enough episodes to finish this arc. I'm not sure how many chapters go into 1 episode.

That German source that listed it at 24 episodes was never confirmed. The producer said it would be 12 episodes at Anime Expo.

Usually 3-4, ep 6 had 5 in it.

EDIT: Fixed.

That's still 10 episode to long, if you ask me. What's a man gotta do to get a decent, well animated Berserk anime? Do I have to get my own Behelit? Cause at this point I'd sacrifice everyone who made this abomination to the God Hand.

I'm not a fan of the CGI, but I still wanted to see this go on longer.

If it is ending this soon I guess I now longer have to worry about it potentially dragging on and will watch it; then again cliffhanger ending garbage is still possible.

I wonder what qualifies as good CGI for TV anime standards around here.

Maybe they wanted 25, but the ratings are terrible?

It depends on who you ask specifically, but most people who have a reasonable understanding of animation, consider most of the recent stuff by SANZIGEN to be fairly decent. I'm probably in the minority, but I think Polygon's work on Ajin was pretty good. If nothing else, they've definitely improved a lot since Sidonia.

I don't care about the cgi models at this point, but the animation sucks, it just feels so unnatural. They could've used motion capture, but no... someone had to say "lets just go with the good ol 3d animation style". I swear, its like they're trying to find new ways to mess this up.

Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping there would be at least as many episodes as the last show. Crying or Very sad
