So season 2 will be 24 or 25 episodes since they’re doing the next cours?

It would certainly seem that way. Good to know this for sure since the first cour is ending in just a few weeks.

Rumor has it S2 doesn't have nearly the same viewership ratings in Japan as S1 did, though (I don't have the precise numbers). Plus, the manga is in its final arc and will probably wrap up within a year or so. This could very well be all we get for the anime.

It would be nice to see it get a full adaption like Fairy Tail did though I don't think it's neary as popular as Fairy Tail was...but there's some great stuff in the rest of the manga I'd love to see animated.

Yeah, I would believe that. No one is talking about this show, it is completely forgotten about this season in comparison to everything else. And now we can’t even blame Netflix jail because season 2 is being simulcasted on Crunchyroll, and yet still no one gives a damn about it.

Manga sales aren’t going up so I doubt it’s doing great in Japan either.

Yeahhhh… season 2 can very well be the last season. Oh well. It really isn’t that great a show. The manga readers kept hyping it up, making it seem the series becomes great during the events of season 2… but nah… it’s just very generic. FT was honestly a more fun series that captured more attention, even with its often times bad writing. Edens Zero is just kinda dull, and that’s why i feel it isn’t really catching on.

I haven't read really caught up with the manga, but I'm gonna have to disagree hard with this claim. From what I read from Eden's Zero, it genuinely has way better writing and fun factor than FT has, even if still follows the footsteps of predictability because Mashima. Hell, the reason why most people didn't give a chance for this series in the first place was because they immediately just wrote it off as a Fairy Tail clone based on character designs alone.

Also, you say you can't blame Netflix, but only S2 is on Crunchyroll. S1 is still locked on Netflix.

I agree, as someone who is fully caught up on the manga. It's not spectacular by any means, but its strength is how it comes together down the line. It just doesn't really do itself many favors with how it spins its wheels, especially for an author with a rep like Mashima's (though he's only really unpopular in the West; Japan and other countries like France like him fine, they just don't like space sci-fi fantasy.)

You can say what you want about Fairy Tail. I agree it had really poor writing. But Fairy Tail got really popular. Almost as popular as the Big 3 back during their heyday, so much so that many people would insert it into that group and call it the “Big 4”. Fairy Tail was absolutely huge at a certain point, something that Edens Zero has never been able to replicate.

So regardless of what FT’s legacy ended up being, way more people jived with FT than they do with EZ, even if EZ has better writing overall. I, to be frank, consider it more dull and the characters just aren’t as charming. And I suspect that’s a big part as to why it hadn’t been able to match FT’s success during its heyday. Hell, it can’t even keep up with its shonen contemporaries this season. Lol an action shonen is losing out to a drama show like Oshi No Ko, which is completely unheard of back in the day. Yeah, Edens Zero simply isn’t hitting it like many of its fans suggested it would back when the anime was announced.
