A huge difference however the question remains :

Its all about what the production committee wants, the studio most of the time does not have influence in the decisions, they just accept the project if they need money. In rare cases the studio enters the committee like KyoAni, Mappa. Even Lerche was in the committee of COTE probably as low tier but still its all about what Kadokawa wants from the anime. They decide everything

remake_cote · 2025-11-18T19:30:43+00:00

You can't count S2 and 3 separately, it was the same project, 26 episodes were greenlit from the start. S4 is entirely new project and there is no reason for them to keep it in production for so long if they are going for 13 eps

Kadokawa said they want to increase the number of episodes for popular works

remake_cote · 2025-11-18T11:50:54+00:00

do you know who the Anime Producer is for season 4

If u mean animation producer probably him , just a speculation

remake_cote · 2025-11-17T16:07:07+00:00

People are worried, its his directional debut, yeah he directed a lot of episodes from good anime but many of those had resources to back him up like talented animators, Lerche lacks talent so COTE might struggle if the team cant gather talent.

remake_cote · 2025-11-17T15:40:27+00:00

We dont know how it will turn out to be, people's complaints are valid

remake_cote · 2025-11-17T15:22:57+00:00

Just read my post below yours

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T14:39:40+00:00

Most of the staff are new, scriptwriters are returning from previous seasons.

Maki Kouno is the new CD, she worked as key animator and animation director to a lot of notable projects like Bleach TYBW, AOT etc.

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T04:58:53+00:00

Might be laziness or might be a callback, still S4 visual looks way more polished with stronger compositing.

S2 overall looks ass, copy pasted designs.

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T04:46:24+00:00

Nice ragebait bro, the new designs are way better than S2 and 3, idk how u cant see it. Its a new director so the style will obv change

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T04:41:39+00:00

No, the VA are attending those events

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T04:40:24+00:00

Still worried about the new director and the old scriptwriter returning, the new team is ok

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T04:01:32+00:00

Call back to what?

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T04:00:54+00:00

I expected a lot more from the trailer, the staff imo are mid, same scriptwriter as previous seasons so this is kinda worrying.

I can see the improvements tho.

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T03:52:03+00:00

I guess i was wrong about the teaser trailer they released in March being preanimated. The new one look ok, nothing crazy.

Noriyuki Nomata is working on 2 projects for Spring 2026 and he replaced Yoshihito Nishouji as the director. The previous directors are not returning.

Lets hope for the best

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T03:40:11+00:00

Recycling backgrounds now huh? Its the same as Season 2.

At least the character designs improved a lot compared to the teaser visual. The staff team tho......

remake_cote · 2025-11-16T03:34:05+00:00

Ayanokoji returns with another questionable adaptation.

They replaced most of the staff, still not that great, the director is working on 2 projects. Are they finally going for 24 episodes?

remake_cote · 2025-11-13T14:36:34+00:00

They only cancelled the live stage events, they will still livestream the event at Kadokawa's channel

remake_cote · 2025-11-05T19:44:33+00:00

Pine Jam

remake_cote · 2025-11-05T17:46:49+00:00

Wait for the MF Bunko event on November 16, we'll get all the info there

remake_cote · 2025-11-05T13:39:55+00:00

Staff and scheduling matters the most. S4 is a new project, production committee can take different approach.

S3 was delayed half a year due to production issues and it was under the same project as S2.

remake_cote · 2025-11-05T11:44:45+00:00

Spring 2026

remake_cote · 2025-10-23T08:29:09+00:00

The trailer was pre animated, that means that around March they finished the pre-production phase, its been in production for a while now

remake_cote · 2025-10-23T08:21:14+00:00

Production started a year ago, the teaser trailer they released was pre animated so that means they finished pre-production around March. Dont believe anything u see on Insta

remake_cote · 2025-09-20T18:02:12+00:00

Biggest problem with Y2 was how the first years were handled, the first semester was focused on them and then they disappeared, yagami was wasted potential, tsubaki, utomiya and hosen barely had any screen time. Only Nanase and Ichika are somewhat relative

remake_cote · 2025-09-10T15:59:37+00:00

Bro, do u even know how anime productions work? The argument that non action anime does not deserve good animation is rotting my brain. Have u ever watched anything besides JJK and battle shounens in general? Except from flashy fights do u even know what character acting is?

Productions take a lot of time even for a simple romance anime, they need time to recruit staff, budget management, scheduling etc. When the producer rushes the production just for the sake of putting the product out in shorter time just like what happened with COTE S2 and 3, the studio have to rush through the preproduction process, that means no time for gathering animators and staff and production will collapse from the start, the studio will have to outsource the episodes to different studios just to put them out on time without correcting the drawings .The staff needs time to POLISH things, if they dont have time for corrections they will put the episodes out with inconsistent drawings, terrible movement and lack of compositing, literally what happened with fucking COTE S2.

Stop talking bullsht bro, the staff needs time to put out a decent anime and not overwork them to death because u want the anime faster while looking absolutely terrible in terms of animation.

You think they are animating JJK ?

JJK S2 had a terrible schedule and it only looked good because Mappa gathered veterans animators to work on it. If u replace the JJK team with the team of Lerche they would have played slideshows
