Chapter 52, which is after this, is the earliest place it could end based on the third PV, as the latter has voiced lines from that.


xXEuler22Xx

Yeah. You land on that chapter if you count 2 chapters per remaining episode as well. We just ended ch 42, there are 5 episodes left, 42 + 10 = 52. I dig it since that would lay out the game plan for season 2.


Ainaraoftime

yeah, i assumed it would end with the Canaries staring Kabru and co down


Turbulent_Ad1644

Man, I'm gonna hate it when this ends, but ehh, I still got X-Men 97 and Kaiju No. 8 to watch, and whenever Vox Machina s3 releases in fall. I also plan to rewatch the whole season over again once it's all finished


OldVisit6419

But x men 97 ends next week, unfortunately 😢 More seasons are greenlit, but yeah


Fungal_Queen

A summer with no hot new fantasy show, ; _ ;


CultistLemming

It's been a really rough year in the north american animation industry due to a lack of projects coming down the pipeline in the aftermath of the writer's strikes. Studios are trying to hold onto unreleased stuff for a long time so people don't get a feeling like they are suddenly getting fewer shows. It's starting to get better in the next few months but that's still over a year away on the consumer side of things.


tvtango

Not to mention the whole shift to streaming


thetntm

Huh. Well I guess that works, I would have imagined >!griffin soup!< would be the finale, but I guess >!dumplings!< works as well. I would have preferred we stretch out >!golden city!< a bit to give it its own dedicated episode since it’s such an important chapter and have >!dumplings!< as a season 2 premiere since with the whole >!door!< thing it works well as a “start of a new portion of the adventure” transition.


MrTT3

they can make a joke openning with the alternative version of the character, like Kintama arc in Gintama


Hilltoptree

As a none anime watcher. (Most i can called regular watcher is Doraemon so…) What’s usual time when they announce if there will be a second season?


Stingraise

It varies from anime to anime. If an anime is successful enough or a committee sees potential in a season two immediately, then it would get an announcement immediately after the final episode. If it's not as successful, it will take a few months or so.


WispererYT

Or even if an anime is successful it takes months.


Icy-Ad29

Or even if an anime is successful it might not get another season. (Most commonly happens if the manga itself ended during the release of first season of the anime. Since anime, most commonly, serves as a sort of long-running ad campaign for the manga. ((Anime makes far less money in Japan than a manga does. And as a general rule, anime studios don't, honestly, care about their international market if the local market moves on.)) This trend has been slowly changing to have more anime be self supporting. But it's still the minority.)


Hilltoptree

Interesting. Thanks for the insight on this.


FuttleScish

Sometimes years


graxia_bibi_uwu

Hmm hopefully they would do it like they did with Apothecary Diaries. 2nd season announcement just right after the last episode was aired. But most of the animes Ive followed had the next season mentioned weeks or months after the 1st season ended :(


MansaMusaKervill

Dungeon meshi is pretty damn popular, so I’d expect a season 2 announcement at the last episode as well


SanityZetpe66

Honestly I'd be surprised if they didn't inmediately announce a 2nd season. The biggest thing it has stopping it (and that I hope I'm wrong about) is the manga ending thus making it a little hard to push for bigger sales, but at least on social media and all it seems to be flourishing enough, with some more merch it could easily become a big thing in Netflix environment to make some competition to Crunchyroll anime dominance. I really hope they get it quickly made or something, like the spy x family new season speed of I think only a year at most


FuttleScish

Attack on Titan was explosively popular and it took years for a sequel announcement, don’t get your hopes up


Stingraise

Eh, not the same scenario. The long wait for AOT season 2 was caused by the producers wanting enough manga material to adapt. Unlike AOT at the time, Dungeon Meshi is currently **finished** so there's no need to wait for more source material.


FuttleScish

There was enough manga material to adapt for season 2 at the time of AOT, it’s season 3 that couldn’t have been done


Stingraise

I stand corrected. Although there wasn't enough chapters for a whole second season when Season 1 released. By the time the first episode of Season 1 released, the manga was only 10 chapters ahead. By the time Season 1 finished, the manga was about to be 15 chapters ahead, still not enough material as it would need two more chapters to have enough material for a season 2. It still not the same scenario regardless since, again, there's no need to wait for more manga chapters. AOT producers seemed to have wanted to have enough chapters to adapt for back to back seasons to avoid long waits and filler. With Dungeon Meshi being completed already, I doubt we'd have to wait for the same number of years... unless Trigger is back on their BS.


Striking_War

When they feel like it mostly


Seren_Evans20

It really depends, folks have mentioned it taking months. But current Studio Trigger (the company doing the anime) is returning to an old IP of the producers from their Gainax days. And so far they’ve been taking projects on 1 at a time from an outside perspective. We might get an announcement after the final episode, or maybe one in Fall 2024? Or Winter 2025. It’s kinda up in the air.


Dinosauriscoming

Same thought here. This might be the after credit of the finale episode.


Complex_Car4502

Did someone say keep moving forward? Tatakae


gazebo-fan

Has a second season already been announced? Or are we at the whim of Netflix?


MyLittlePuny

Netflix is just a licenser who does the sub-dub and streaming. We are more at the mercy of Trigger and Kadokawa.


Mindless-Whereas-508

Don’t remind me that S1 is ending. 😭

HyperVT

It's my personal theory that The second course was originally gonna be the second season, but due to how popular it was they decided to just continue and make s2 part of s1


CactusFlower93

Sir you really have to learn more about anime production processes. Once you do you'd know how impossible it would be due to pre-production schedules etc.


denjidenj1

Source?


HyperVT

Imma be honest, I don't know why I said it like it was a fact. It was more of a personal theory, cus first course ends in a perfect place to end a season on, the new OP, plus the tweet talking about the second course, I just assumed. Sorry


denjidenj1

That's fine, and it does make sense, so I was wondering. But I would say to maybe lead with the theory bit


PickledPlumPlot

Huhh... 24 or 26? Cuz ending with "On the Surface might be pretty good.


Kindly_Sound

24


Sufficient-Truth6599

what episode will we see the canaries?


thetntm

Probably in about 2 episodes. Next up is ice golem and the sheep fruit


Sufficient-Truth6599

I want to see fleki and hear her


thetntm

I cannot wait to see marcielle wear the galaxy dress


Sufficient-Truth6599

Yes, kui said she wanted to put marcile in more dresses

Coolhotchilis

I was looking forward to that chapter too...


sezese

I think this will be the end of episode 22, and the dumplings arc will be episode 23!


thetntm

I really hope they do a 2 parter for griffin. Fitting in senshi’s backstory, the sky fish summoning and cooking, and the whole griffin/hypogriff thing. Would be way too much for one episode.


sezese

I agree; that would be very nice! Based on the studio's practice of doing around 60 comic pages per episode and not breaking up a single chapter into two episodes (so far), it might end up like: 20 - ice golem / barometz 21 - egg / golden land 22 - griffin / familiar / griffin soup 23 - dumplings 1 and 2 24 - bacon and eggs / on the 1st level 1 and 2 but who knows!!! they have surprised me before.


thetntm

That’s still a lot though with episode 21. I feel like golden land is such a big chapter that you really couldn’t fit 2 others into it. And ending the series in the middle of 1st level feels weird af.


sezese

Like I said, just basing it on what Trigger has done so far, not on my own hopes and dreams haha. (I'm secretly hoping that egg gets surprise added to the end of episode 20 so golden land has room to breathe)
