So that’s what I wanted to hear most from the event – how much material the first two episodes try to cover.Īfter the event, the actual synopsis of the first episode has been publicly announced, including on the website itself, in official news reports of the event, and even in an interview with the director.

If it were trying to cover the entire game, it would need to absolutely blaze through the game’s events to fit it all in 12 episodes. So, the question then is, will this anime cover the first half of the game and leave the second half to a second season, or could it possibly be aiming to cover the entire game? It seems insane to think it might cover the entire story – I’ve tried to game it out multiple times but it seems impossible even from a logistical standpoint, let alone whether the end result would actually be any good – but it wouldn’t be the first time a franchise that deserved better has been treated that way instead. The anime’s Blu-ray release has yet to be announced, and that’s usually how we determine exactly how many episodes the anime will run, but it’s probably fair to assume for the purposes of this discussion that it will be 12 episodes. +Ultra, the block that the anime runs in, has already announced that The Heike Story will run in the block in January. We actually already know that this anime will run for 1 cour, meaning it will end in December after 12 or so episodes. The Muv-Luv Alternative anime had a special pre-screening of the first two episodes for fans today, and a lot of information came out during the event, so let’s talk about it real quick.įor me, the most important information I wanted from the pre-screening is a sense of how many episodes the anime will have and what kind of pacing it will follow.
