The manga is currently up to the sixth match, which is still not over. If they did a second season with the same pace as the first one (about 20 chapters over 12 episodes), it would only cover two matches.

when reading the manga i understood the fights aa being who wins 4 out of 7 fights,.might have been a translation problem.
completely agree with the poster who talked about kumo.
also back to the review, when 300 slime had a fighting episode i mentioned to a friend that it looked like a dragon ball fight, but i don't know if i was praising or dissing slime.

The anime adapted the manga pretty faithfully and there wasn't any padding or catching up at all (if anything they skipped 1 to 2 scenes). That's just how long the fights and their exposition really are. The plan wasn't to have all the fights in one season.
btw the manga is currently at 11 volumes and is on fight number 6 out of a possible total of 13. It's going to be a while till it ends.

It's a digital first release but they will release it physically next year.

I'm willing to bet we'll get at least one draw before the end, bringing up the maximum number of total fights.

Coincidence that it came out in Japan as both were enjoying all-time highs in popularity? I think not. |
Right.  Just like how early Jojo was shamelessly riding the coattails of Fist of the North Star. And I've always found the accusations of Record of Ragnarok ripping off Fate to be ridiculous. Because by those standards every isekai ever is ripping off Alice in Wonderland with they're whole "transported to another world" gimmick.
Also unlike Fate/Grand Order, ROR didn't need to rely on horny fanservice to become relevant.

Thanks! Good to know! A physical release is all I really wanted at the end of the day.

When mediocre or outright bad adaptations of successful manga happens, I always wonder about the creators' feelings. A great anime adaptation (such as KnY or Jujutsu Kaisen) can elevate the material and push the sales so hard the author doesn't have to work anymore at all after doing a single series if they decide to, so I feel they pay a LOT of attention as to how the anime is received. It must be heartbreaking when it's not good.
At least this isn't nearly at the level of the apocalyptic disaster that was EX-ARM (I still think the manga finishing soon after wasn't a coincidence), but still Shuumatsu no Valkyrie had a bigger potencial as a franchise.

Bones maybe, but MAPPA? With their production schedule? Jujutsu Kaisen felt like a fluke imo. What is clear is that Graphinica really shouldn't be doing full 2D productions if this is their best foot forward (then again, Expelled from Paradise wasn't a good first impression from a studio who primarily did subcontract CG and composite work anyway, so maybe they should just stick to that).
The dub definitely surprised me with some of its casting choices, particularly with casting recognizable union talent like Mathias III or Keone Young, I'm not sure why it wasn't brought up in the review. |
Jujutsu Kaisen? A "fluke"? Either you're high or blind.
