FYI A 24 episode Season 3 covering the entire Monster Association Arc would be just as badly paced as Season 2:

  • Season 1 covered 1045 pages in 12 episodes and was very well paced, with slight filler added, but they were all thoughful and well executed.

  • Season 2 covered 1599 pages in 12 episodes and was rushed/cut up to hell, as they had 50% more material to cover than Season 1.

  • The remaining Monster Association Arc, from Chapter 85 "Is It because I'm Caped Baldy?" to Chapter 170 "What was Gained" is 3344 pages.... more than DOUBLE what Season 2 covered.

People can debate the animation, the production schedule, the story of the manga etc. and those will remain unresolved until Season 3 airs. But it is an objective, undeniable fact that if Season 3 does try to cover the Monster Association Arc in 24 episodes, it WILL cut more content than Season 2 did, and it WILL be rushed worse than Season 2 was as well.

So all those still hoping for Season 3 to be good had better pray for 36 episodes. Otherwise it will just be a double length Season 2.

Thoughts?
