Knowing how fast Season 2 was announced after season 1 and released within a year it seems the this is the Studios #1 priority right now. They so far been really good at releases so I am gonna expect this to be a mid-late 2024 release assuming it goes like Season 1. Then Season 3 possibly early 2025.

I mean we had this series come out a year ago and have already gone through 2 seasons at this point.

@SuperGuy1141 I very much doubt there's going to be a season 3 anytime soon. Definitely going to be much longer then a year. I think the reason why they made it into a movie because they don't have enough material. After volume 3 they took almost 2 years each for the next 2 volumes in other words 4 years. If season 3 were to come up next year the author better either step up the writing on the Light Novels or make the scripts for the anime for the future Light Novels.

@KLA59 Yeah currently not enough source material for season 3 adapting vol 5 or beyond.

@kisaragi_eki tergantung sih anime juga bisa mengadaptasi novel ringan ataupun manga. Misal kalo dari awal sudah condong ke novel ringan ya pasti selanjutnya akan mengadaptasi novel ringan juga masa iya abis adaptasi manga lalu novel ringan pasti ceritanya bisa saling bertentangan

Q2 2025 at earliest. Theatrical releases are generally slower than TV because schedules are unnegotiable - you have to be 100% ready when the date comes, unlike TV shows where episodes can get postponed with a week or two and it's not that huge of a deal.

Movie will adapt the remaining of vol 4. And right now, we only have vol 5 completed and vol 6 still ongoing. judging by season 2 of the anime adapt vol 3 within 6 - 7 episodes. Assuming Vol 5 will be adapted in 7 episodes at best. then, it's a no. Not enough source material.
What an amazing show. The MC personality is totally what I'm into to see the show. a shadow lord remaining in the background but OP.
I remember there are also other character with a unique situation that caught my eye. Arifureta. what else? um can't remember

Jesus the replies are shit. Volume 6 was done in 2023. Even if the movie finishes covering volume 4 there 2 volumes left. That's more than enough for another season if it's single cour like the last one.

@Liquidacid i think that whos making the series is taking the base from the light novel, but also getting inspiration from the manga, that's probably why the series has a quality so good even thought it was made in less than a year. Also, the manga is important to get inspiration about the clothes, and art designs of the characters.

A searing pain devours me from within, like a venomous bite that continues to sink deeper. Each heartbeat amplifies the agony, and every breath is a stifled gasp. It's as if the gates of hell have swung open inside me, unleashing a torrent of unspeakable suffering. Darkness stretches to infinity, swallowing any hope of respite. I am trapped in the depths of this abyss, alone and despairing, as the echoes of my own lamentations reverberate through the void.

the New Year is approaching folks. studio Nexus has released nothing about the movie in... well May 26th was that one event... now seven months? Nexus actually hasn't done ANYTHING... no projects... not a thing since S2. not even a pump n dump moneymaker to keep the employees paid and the lights on. Dec 20th was the 1 Year anniversary of the S2 final episode. how does an anime studio survive 12 months without completing and selling at least one project? have they farmed out all their talent to supporting other anime studios as outsourced workers and sub-sub-contractors?

now, timing... let's take a look at S1 and S2. 20 episodes and 12. suspicious episode counts don'tcha think? even considering S2Ep8? wasn't that the hotsprings resort one? cmon that was anime original fanservice right? S1 ran from Oct 5, 2022 to Feb 15, 2023 and S2 ran from Oct 4, 2023 to Dec 20, 2023... that's a definite gap of 7 months and several weeks between S1 final episode and S2 first one... enough time to create 12 episodes? i think not. so... my hypothesis is.... the entire project was planned out for the 24+ idea... but Nexus couldn't slap together 24 eps in time, so it was dropped to 20 leaving... well... the TV networks high n dry for those timeslots post Feb 15th 2023...when Winter TV season doesn't end till March 31st. the drop in ep count for S1 just got picked up with S2 having 11 eps sourced and 1 original fanservice one. but... looking at LN Vol4? by Chapter Titles TV S2 dropped off somewhere in Chapter 4? or the Auxiliary Chapter in-between Ch3 & 4?

let's see... LN publication dates in Japan; does this factor in? Vol1 Nov 5, 2018. Vol2 Mar 5, 2019. Vol3 Jul 26, 2019. Vol4 Feb 26, 2021. Vol5 Dec 28, 2022. Vol6 Oct 30, 2023. as you can see from those books' date of release to the Japanese public in paper form... Vols. 1-4 were already out to the public for around 4 years and creeping downwards slowly to... S1Ep1 Vs. LN Vol4... 1 year 7 months and a few weeks. so before anybody anywhere could have started work on S1... the books were out there to work on, at least the first three... Vol3-4 did have a gap of 1 year 7 months and some change. so... meh? maybe the reason S2Ep8 got inserted in was to fluff the length of S2 to exactly fit the halfway point inside LN Vol4 annnnd still stretch the 2nd Season to 12eps?

if the movie ONLY does the leftovers of LN Vol4... that leaves Vols5 & 6.... Nexus somehow stretched out 2 books into 20 eps... which is... i don't get it but meh... shrug... the 3-4 LN Vol to 12 ep formula is pretty standard... so LN Vol6 is 1 year and almost 2 months old now... my SWAG at the movie's release date? (scientific wild a$$ guess) sometime in the first 6 months of 2025 and S3 will hit TVs etc. before or in Fall 2025... movies aren't easy to schedule and get theater corps to buy into... even Japan's love for a good anime movie can't exactly sell a crapton of screens... just a buttload of showings each day. Eminence in Shadow isn't Demon Slayer: Mugen Train or... whatchamacallit Castle which is gonna be 3 movies...

what i'm SERIOUSLY worried about? Sentai Filmworks got Eminence for the US/North America etc. and will they get the movie for Eminence? i'm not even wondering for a second about US theatrical release... Sentai does NOT have the deep pockets of Funi-Roll/Aniplex at putting out an anime movie in US/Canada/Mexico theaters. i just hope Sentai streams the Eminence movie before S3 pops up... or at all... and i can find it somewhere free... without having to make do with a camrip or a shoddily cracked Press Only Disk.

Happy New Year y'all... see ya sometime in '25!

@abyss_will what do u mean
@Sayan_Pal old OLD gamer gag/joke. Valve stopped devving HL3 to work on their failed Steam Console Gaming system oiginal in-house written Operating System and prototype Consoles. kinda like a PS or XBox but... it flopped because Valve went 'open source negotiated contracts with independent manufacturers' for their Steam Consoles. Alienware made a good version, but wanted a bigger cut of the profits, 2 or 3 other computer builders were mostly happy with the terms to build Consoles for Valve. but their shoddy products didn't meat Valve's requirements for durability so they YOINKED!!! the rights out from under 'those guys'... annnd eventually 2 years after the Console was officially announced and dozens of announced delays, Valve dumped the whole project for The Steam Deck handheld. as well as the PC/PS/XBox compatible Steam Network of games.

literally leaving the 3rd game in the Half Life franchise abandoned like an unwanted pet.

i know i'm damn late, but thanks... i think. :D

since it is now 3 May 2025... earliest announcement i'm predicting is during Fall '25 for a Summer '26 release. Nexus DEFINITELY does not want their Shadow movie to compete with the next Conan/Case Closed movie for an April 2026 release... like Conan always does every year.

also! lucky Nexus finally got a new project! https://xss.now.cc/news/72408110 but Aniplex JP said on 24 FEB 2025 only 2025 for any release info. so, instead of Shadow... maybe Nexus has been concentrating on this 'Touring After the Apocalypse' TV series instead?
