There are quite a lot of manga chapters left — is the anime going to rush through them?
Summary:
The fourth season of Dr. Stone has been announced, titled “Science Future”.
It’s said to be the final season, and fans are demanding a 3-cour adaptation.
There are many speculations on how it is going to air, and there’s no information right now — but fans are quite happy that manga is getting a full adaptation.
The second part of Dr. Stone’s third season, New World, has just ended yesterday — and it was immediately followed by an announcement of the fourth season. Titled “Science Future”, it’s said to be the final season of the series — as such, many fans obviously have many questions. Let’s see what we currently know, as little info as there currently is.
The fans are demanding a 3-cour-long adaptation
The biggest issue with the announcement is that there are currently around 90 chapters of the manga left. That’s definitely not enough to be covered by one cour of anime — although there’s no confirmation that Science Future will be one cour.
There’s nothing that indicates the length of the fourth season, and it’s very likely that it will be split cours, just like the last one. With so many chapters left, however, fans are demanding 3 cours for the remaining adaptation, and they aren’t sure they’re getting those.
There are many speculations over the format
It’s technically too early to speculate how long the adaptation of the remainder of the manga will be. There are people who are wondering if it’s going to air in split one cour seasons over a few years, like the currently airing Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.
Another bet many fans have is that it is going to be like Attack on Titan’s final season, which aired in two parts and two specials. Fans seem to be happy with both approaches — as long as they’re getting an adaptation that isn’t rushed at all.
In the end, there’s currently no information on anything else about the sequel — not even a key visual. The fourth season is still in production with no date announced — and in the case of it being split cour, even if it doesn’t get three cours or extra specials like Attack on Titan, it will be a long, long time before the anime is actually done.
There’s little chance for the fourth season to be more than 2 consecutive cours, however: such projects are rare nowadays. It seems that the common consensus among fans is that they absolutely don’t want the anime to cover all the 90 remaining chapters in one cour, and they are willing to wait a bit more for a proper adaptation.
They are also happy that the manga will be fully adapted: with so many inconclusive anime these days, a full adaptation of a popular manga is just what otaku want.
