Two cours worth of episodes and an hour long episode that is worth 2 1/2 by itself, this is the best course to take to adapt the first arc. Thank you Crunchyroll and Kinema Citrus

So you should also thank the AT-X channel (since the anime will be broadcast first on this channel so they had a big part in the production.

you should also also support the Tokyo MX, BS 11 channel also and even the Hikari streaming and even Kadokawa

There is no reason to be grateful only to crunchyroll when an anime is made by production committee system. This is belittling all other contributors. Are they inferior because they are Japanese? and Crunchyroll is superior because it is Western? We do not even know how much it contributed to the production, it may have been less than 10% of the total value or just bought streaming rights to the West., in return we know that there were several Japanese companies involved.

Could you talk about how The Rising of the Shield Hero might be different from other simulcasts from Crunchyroll?

JT: The Rising of the Shield Hero is very special to Crunchyroll, because it’s the first project that Crunchyroll was able to select and license the source IP. Generally from past co-productions, we were introduced to other companies, so we had no choice in the matter for what we wanted to make. So hopefully, Crunchyroll can keep working with KADOKAWA to make more shows that will probably be more successful overseas.

In the case of Shield Hero, this is certainly more than just "CR became a committee to bypass the competition" meme as can be attested from the interview with the producer.

Nice to hear this. I have a friend of mine who took some inspiration for this light novel for his which pretty good actually, and I'm looking forward to seeing how good it was to see if the inspiration was good.

Also, by two cour, it means it may last from January to June?

Yes. A half-year length implies 26 epi. but a 2-hour special (not counting the commercials) means we effectively get 30 epi. worth of material.

Since CR is dubbing this, they probably are using the L.A. Eng. dub VA pool. To be honest, I wish this would happen more (at least 1-2 weekly simuldubbed series a season) since Funi does do most of the Eng. dubs of anime nowadays.
