It's certainly possible that this production schedule was what David Pro settled on doing. Split cour isn't the worst idea since by the time Stage 2 is done with weekly uploads, they will have had time to get decently into Stage 3. But, how Netflix/WB handled the announcements was not to plan. No indication that this was something of a pilot episode. Vaguely indicating that more would come sometime in 2026. Then, explaining things after it hit a boiling point and they felt like people might get bored waiting if they didn't know anything. I don't think they've specifically said anything about how they will do anything after Stage 2, and we are assuming that this is the plan for all of Steel Ball Run.
And I appreciate the article pointing out that this is not just a Netflix problem. Crunchyroll may, or may not, do anything with stuff they have licensed. Gridman Universe got dumped out there with zero fanfare and no dub after sitting on it long enough to assume it was just not happening. They seem content to let people think that the company is deliberately withholding physical media to keep customers paying for streaming since they neither address the topic nor shown any signs of changing the absolute trickle of releases they have with shows going unreleased for years now. Silence leads people to fill in the blanks themselves, and they will naturally assume the worst is happening when they are met with no response. We've seen similar confusion around production with the most recent season of Golden Kamuy. Nobody knew that the two movies from the fall were going to be reused as the first four episodes of the season until it happened. Billing it as the "Final Season" naturally led to believing that this was, indeed, the finale, but then wondering how they'd cover the amount of material left. Then, we find out at the end that the "Final Season" wasn't quite so final and we're getting the rest later this year, without knowing what format that will take. |

In the words of the late great Paul Newman: "What we have here is a failure to communicate."
Also don't communicate threats towards people involved with the show or even hope someone else does it like someone on ANN did. Not cool. I'm wondering if I'll be able to complete the Manga before the show fully airs. The 6th Omnibus just release with a Volume every 2 months. Guess it depends if there is a break in the Fall. |
