How interesting. I wonder what these characters' roles will play and if there will be differences when the manga gets there? Should be interesting. The latest Arslan Senki chapter just came out yesterday actually..

Well, that's confirms that, at least in some capacity, the anime will continue past the point in which the manga is currently at. I've got the feeling that based of the reception of the series and the home-media sales numbers, it is possible that the anime will be longer than a cour.

By the timeslot it is, is almost obvious that will be 2-cours. All titles in it are 2 cours!

Arslan Senki is in the timeslot of Seven Deadly Sins, Haikyuu!!, Magi, ...

Cool, I didn't notice the timeslot they got for Arslan, so that's great.

Sounds good to me if it were multi-cour Smile

Was hoping for this. Kind of like a hybrid. So yeah, her debuting some new designs for some point in the anime before their manga debut seems like a good possible sign Smile

The less rushing the better, I enjoyed the writing and pacing of the first ep.

I'm not too worry when the anime starts passing the manga. It's literally an epic story to begin with. Considering the novel has been going on for a long time (since 1986!), there's plenty of content to cover. =3

These characters will appear in the anime adaptation, but have not yet appeared in the manga.

...Are we looking at another Fullmetal Alchemist situation here? Arakawa's works don't exactly have the greatest track record in these situations....
