By the way, has anyone gotten to see the Geiz movie yet? I was actually kind of shocked. It was good. It definitely gave Zi-O a better ending than the show did.
Toei have officially confirmed that the Kiramager/Zero-One summer movie double bill, which was due to release in cinemas on July 23rd, is being held back. No word just yet as to what the new release date or alternative will be.
I heard about the '45 episodes' rumor too. Not sure where it came from. Could just be someone counting and realising that if Saber is still going to start on the first Sunday in September (as Build, Zi-O and Zero-One all did) then there are 10 more weekends left, which gives us our total. Presuming the show doesn't get pre-empted at any point during that time, of course.
So I guess Zero-One will end at episode 45. From my understanding, it was originally going to be 47, so that means 2 less episodes of filler. YES!!
Had this show maintained the same momentum in the 20s that it had for the first 19-ish episodes, this would have easily cracked my top 10 list. Right now, I'm not sure. It will all depend on how this final arc plays out.
Well, I guess that they've had two .5 episodes, so maybe they had to count those as episodes-- hence 45.
That's cool, though. Final 10 episodes. Can't wait to see how it ends. So far, I don't really think it's cracked my top 5 seasons, but it far from the worst. It seemed a bit raw, like they had a lot of ideas for this season, but didn't get much of a chance for it all to settle in their minds. But I enjoyed it. Aruto, Fuwa, Yui, Izu & Jin were all great characters, & you can't really argue with that.
I agree that it seems like delaying for a later cinema release seems difficult. Then again, the Robocon movie is still meant to be releasing on July 31st, bang on schedule. I don't know exactly what's going on in Japan.I don't see how the Summer Movies are going to air in theaters. Besides the pandemic being an issue, Toei and Toku in general shifts into the next series so quickly, they want viewers to forget about the old shows and move on to the next one. I see Zero-One's summer movie being straight to Blu-Ray/DVD and maybe Kirameiger gets a release in January 2021 perhaps.
