Now everyone can shut up about batch releases.

They already mentioned it would be weekly months ago (after people yelled at them) |

Why they didn't just wait with the first episode so that these could follow on a weekly basis afterwards, rather than just annoying the whole Jojo fanbase, is beyond me.

I know you don’t mean it literally but I don’t think all of the Jojo fanbase hated the batch releases especially when it’s an adaptation of a manga many fans did not read when it was coming out weekly and then monthly. |

I think they just wanted to get that first episode out ASAP, sort of a preview. Still, communication could have helped if this was the route they were going since it was what the fans wanted. |

Whelp, this alleviates my biggest fear I had for Steel Ball Run... Not batch releases vs weekly releases (though I'm glad for weekly), but pacing.
After re-reading SBR, I genuinely feel that two episodes per volume is the minimum they can get away with without trimming out a lot of content and flavor. Taking stage 1 (two volumes) and dividing the first episode in half (since it was a double-length episode), we had one volume per episode for the pacing. Stages two and three of SBR comprise volumes 3-7, which is 5 volumes total. Doing this in 11 episodes gives us two episodes per volume plus an extra episode for wiggle room. If they keep up this rough pacing of two volumes per episode, I'd guess we're looking at somewhere between 46-50 episodes, which should be adequate. |

Good to see Fat Valantine adapted but they now have to show the Texas Switch of when the muscular version takes over. Anime audiences are less forgiving of unmentioned but technically plausible events happening off-screen.
