Anime

will s5 be on hulu? all 4 seasons on Hulu I know it won’t be anytime soon. Season 4 wasn’t on Hulu until months after its initial release so I expect season 5 Will be in a similar situation. I'm just wondering is all of should I wait until it comes on Hulu or watch every new episode that comes out every Thursday watch it on other site?(side note: NO I am not getting HIDIVE that app and platform sucks) and I realize finding sites like that isn't easy cuz great sites like aniwave etc All gone now as everyone knows and other sites aren't that great. So I was just wondering what everyone else is planning on doing with season 5.

Hello fellas, as the titles explain i wonder why sword oratotia ain't getting a 2nd season. I mean sure the 1st season my have not been well receive but both the LN and manga adaptation are so well receive so i wonder if it is truly impossible to get a 2nd season cuz the fight scene of SO are truly beautiful

Where does the Ais becoming a spirit sword come from? I seen that on the wiki she is listed as human and thought only spirits can do that sort of thing. I also seen on Reddit that if it happens, she can’t change back and will be stuck like that forever? I’m an anime only guy and don’t remember it being mentioned in any of the seasons that Ais can or will turn into a sword and not change back in the later fights.

Was just wondering if I should take that prediction on Reddit seriously or not. I tried asking people on Reddit but I just get downvoted and no answers.

I'm going to hope there will be a DanMachi Prelude.

So I have finally caught up to the anime after deciding to pick it up about a month and half ago. I really cant contain myself on how amazing the latest season was!! But I have so many questions though...

One, Does Bell face Asterius again in the manga? That fight was so epic and I want to see Bell defeat him the next time they face each other!

Two, Does the Xenos come back at any point in time? Like the original cast I mean. Marie is great but I really love the main cast of Xenos, especially Wiene!! The family vibes that Haruhime, Wiene, and Bell gave off was so amazing!

Three, Do we ever get to see Freya familia more? I think they are interesting since they are number 1 in Orario but they are so mysterious and we never really see much of them besides their goddess and Ottar, with the occasional Allen appearances. Kind of like the ishtar vs Freya familia, but with far more focus on the Freya familia side, like members and all. I want to see how powerful the number 1 familia truly is and just how big of a gap it really is between 1 and 2.

Four, will Hestia familia get any bigger later on in the manga? I have no idea why Aisha didn't join them along side Haruhime since her and Haruhime are close. But overall I would love to see them get as big as Freya or Loki familia.

Five, Do you think Bell will end up with Hestia, Haruhime, or Ryu? I absolutely adore those 3 the most and their compatibility is crazy through the roof with Bell. Bells obsession with Ais was a little off putting in the beginning since it didn't feel natural at all but I am glad he has kind of moved on from her as of late since it feels more power focused now for Bell instead of the whole crush thing. I think thats why my favorite season thus far is season 4 because there is no Ais and she just doesn't have no place in the story you know? She just felt really awkward in the story, like a character with no place to go. She almost felt like a jump starter for Bell in season 1 and 2 but now he has moved on from that and they have went their separate ways which is really cool to see since Bell needs to be on his own. She was just never interesting to me, kind of boring honestly, but she has finally faded in the background of the story since she is a minor character after all and that has really brought the series up for me. But overall, has he moved onto anyone else of late in the manga? Or is it still power focused for him? Him and Ryu seem to be going in that direction right now but they left us on a cliff hanger which absolutely sucks but it will only be for a few months so I think I can manage haha.

Any information about what vols they will adapt? Vol 12-14?

Kept hearing about that J.C staff's contact end with author or something like that. Is it true? Any source about that? And any information about studio will animate season 4 or how many episodes it will have?

This is a bit presumptuous, but in the event that danmachi gets a season 5, how do you think Freya/Syr/Helun will be voice acted?

We know that Freya and Syr have two separate voice actresses, but do you think Helun will get a third? Will she use one of the Freya/Syr voice actresses, or potentially use both actresses when in different scenarios?

In the final scene of volume 16, we could expect the voice actress to switch from Syr to Freya when she transitions back to Freya. I feel like such a transition may also occur when Syr/Freya tells Bell not to deny her. Specifically, when she's talking to him while trying to use her charm, I think the voice actress may switch to being Freya for a moment. Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Season 4 of the anime being announced is great and all, but if given the same circumstances, there's likely to be some issues with this 4th season. What's your main concerns for this 4th season?

Did Hestia get scammed or something? Since this overprice garbage did nothing to injure Asterius. Indeed, it's a suitable weapon if you're going into a dungeon or a cave. However, the problem will start if you are fighting against bigger opponents like Asterius or OEBD.

Bell's really need a bigger weapon like a sword or something. Can't they just buy the material (Mithril) from Hephaistos and let Welf craft it for Bell?

After that, all they need is to add Hestia blood in it. And they will have a bigger weapon with the same spec with Hestia Knife.

Also, about his armor. Why it's so fragile and shattered like glass? Can't they bought a same material like Ais's Desperate sword and craft it into armor? Since Desperate is an unbreakable sword after all. Bell will have a big advantage if they craft an unbreakable armor like this.

I know it will be expensive. But at least, it will be a great help instead of Hestia knife.

This is something that I am actually quite curious about. If the makers of this series went back and did an updated version of this series in a similar way to how Hellsing Ultimate was handled would it be something that you would watch.

What I mean by an updated version of the series is one that not only adopts more material from the novels (Both the main series and SO) but one with episodes that are forty to sixty minutes long with consistently high production values.

Do you think that this would be something that fans of the series would really be interested in?

The series in my opinion is decent as it is now despite cutting out some interesting parts of the novels that I would have liked to see animated. But I would be willing to see what it would be like if done this way.

I would at least give the first two or three episodes a watch to see if I liked it compared to the current version of the series. But how about the rest of you? Would you give it a chance or would it not be something that you would find appealing?

Just a quick question have you'll noticed how the subtitle dialogue differs between HiDive and Crunchy Roll versions of the show. I'm curious which one you prefer?

I watch them both but I tend to start at HiDive mostly out of habit because its where I originally found the show from the DM MF game adds. Oddly DM MF was my introduction to the world of DanMachi I downloaded it on a whim because I really enjoyed the game company's other game. It turned out to be favorite manga/anime I have found in a long while.

Let me get one thing out of the way first. I have read the SO novels and I have watched the anime. Honestly, I did not think much of it compared to the Danmachi anime's first season.

However, I feel like not including some of the stuff from the SO novels in the Danmachi anime leaves the audience scratching their heads in the later seasons regarding how certain things were supposed to play out.

A good example of this is that if you watched the anime or only read the Danmachi novels then you would believe that Ishtar's plan to take Freya down only involve Haruhime and the ritual with the Killing stone when it was actually more complex then that. As she was aligned with the remnants of Evilus that were using Knossos as a base of operations.

Then we got the fact that the more recent volumes of the SO novels have plot lines that have an impact on the main series.

Because of this I see two options at this point.

The first is a reboot of the Sword Oratoria anime with a longer first and second season in order to catch up to the main series.

The second is to start weaving the story from the novels into the main series. In truth, it might have been a good idea to do that with this season as it would explain why the Loki Familia was there when Bell came out of Knossos.

What do the rest of you think? Please speak up if you have something to say and please keep the conversation civil.

I was curious what everyone's opinion is on the pacing, the voice acting, and the consistency of the animation quality so far.

Is it what you expected it to be? Please let's hear your opinion.

Aren't we going to talk about that power point animation? I'm talking about animation when Bell and Wiene get separated by Lyd and they have gone to the deep floor (CMIIW). Seriously, JC Staff? That's the best you can do? It's like the animation was created when i was a high school learning how to create an animation. You can animate Hestia boobs yet you can't animate this powerful scene? I mean like, come on. You can do better than this.

Also, when Bell's asked Hestia about "What dungeon really is?" and she's like "Dungeon is dungeon". No shit, Sherlock. Is that really their conversation in LN? Because I can't remember it.

I've been looking through some reddit and fandom questions, and have noticed that Freya claims that if Bell dies, she'll follow him to heaven. Does anyone know when that happens?

I thought that the episode was good.

The animation and voice acting seemed pretty solid.

Although, it did seem that the episode's pacing was a little too fast.

Anyone have any thoughts on the episode's quality and pacing?

Please do not spoil the contents of the episode for those that have not seen it yet.
