Yeah I remember now looking up the release date like a month ago but even then I forgot about it. Now I have to rewatch part 1 because I only vaguely remember it and it’s only 4 episodes anyway
i think they dd it to keep the series name trending on social media, search engines because people who actually liked to series has to constantly lookup the series to read about its release date. i even did that few times whenever i remembered about the series. There is always money behind these kind stunts. Its always the money. Not that "we gotta gib time to viewers process what happened!". If that's the case, why not just offer free counselling or better help subscriptions to viewers.
To be fair each one is like an hour long, most shows have like 24 minute episodes. Many people here are not understanding something, by "most shows" i am refering to ANIMATED shows, not any other kind.
@@justduro1527bruh it doesn’t matter they had 3 years to make 8 episodes then have the nerve to split it in two make us wait months then make us wait weekly per episode again instead of dropping the remaining 4 immediately
True. Also, the animation isn't the best. I've never been one to harp on Invincible's mid animation in Season 2, but it's insane that they need to take this long for 4 episodes that have middle of the road animation, AND THEN PUT A WEEK BETWEEN EACH EPISODE. THEY LITERALLY HAVE THE STORY WRITTEN ALREADY. All they need to do is adapt it.
@@peanutboy0921 Shows like that have so many episodes that they run them year round now and with streaming being a thing, you can watch them anytime now but the problem with that is that they delay adding the new episodes for a bit so that the networks can make some dough first.
I've noticed like all the voice actors are also having their hands full with live action movies or TV shows. And I'm sure the writers are working on other things as well. It's a great show it just doesn't have full hands on deck. They've kinda just been treating it more so like a hobby I feel like
@@papawuise6820 I understand certain pieces of animation take much longer than others, but I feel like that isn't even really an excuse for the long wait times. Because some parts of the show aren't even fully animated, like Omni-Man dropping that guy for example, he was basically just dragged down with a mouse and theres been other instances like this where it's basically just still images that you don't notice immediately due to how much happens. Not to mention that the writers really don't have much to do, they already have the whole fleshed out story of Invincible as the base foundation, they aren't writing scripts completely from scratch because they already have basically all of the work there, they just revise and speed up the story mainly it seems like. It reminds me of how Rick n' Morty was whenever there was so much hype around it at the start, it took an extra long time for them to actually keep building on it.
@@Buboltz i haven't sat down to fully watch invincible yet, but i'm wondering how the people complaining about the waiting periods between seasons feel about arcane. i, personally, and plenty of others, are fine with waiting (in fact we encourage it haha) so long as the result is a masterpiece. though i know qulity isn't on the same level, so i know this doesn't apply here, but i'm curiuous regardless
@Connie_TinuityError can't agree with that unless it's a thing of production. Which it wasn't in this case, so that wouldn't apply. Even then, the weekly release already sucks + ads on Amazon movie + splitting seasons. Not worth it, imo.
Keep in mind they will INTENTIONALLY delay finished products to keep your subscriptions stuck between multiple months and make you re buy multiple months of subscriptions
I think that’s accurate in most cases but the vast majority of the walking dead’s viewers were on cable. Robert Kirkman made TWD and Invincible so this might just be his own stupidity
@@nczioox1116amazon prime is either a month or a year, so people could have monthly subscriptions, and often do as opposed to a year. I’d just stop paying for it until it comes back unless there’s actually other content on Amazon prime I’d want to watch.
EXACTLY like bro asking multiple years between seasons is already pretty absurd for 8 episode seasons 💀 multi month mid season break is a slap in the face. we’ll be lucky to see s3 in the next 10 years at this rate 😒
When I watched the First half of Invincible season 2, there were no ads on amazon prime video. when I came back to watch Part 2, all of a sudden there were un-skippable ads and they were asking for another $2.99 to go "ad-free". I am CONVICED this was intentional. they delayed part 2 so that they could gouge people more.
Yh imagine all the memes that could've come from part 6 like all the other parts. Japan got a normal weekly release but everyone else got the batch bullshit.
Charlie’s mummy ride example was so accurate, this literally happened to me exactly as he described. I was in the part where the scarabs come out, they came out, everyone screamed, and then the whole screen went black and we just sat there for 10 minutes. All of the hype gone when the ride started again
@@TwofacedPlace They also aren't necessarily motivated to put out a successful product. Sometimes they can make more money by NOT releasing it because of loopholes in tax law that give free money to these companies if they sacrifice an asset.
It can be done well, a la Better Call Saul s06 and JJK (b/w the 2 arcs). Making people take a multiple-months long break in the middle of a storyline is absurd though.
An episode a week, builds hype. Drip feeding content to people between months mean they'll have either died of thirst first or gone searching for greener pastures.
Once a week is pretty much arbitrary now, though. Used to be sites needed to be on a consistent schedule because if you missed it you just missed it. So once a week at the same time every week means people will catch on to when they need to check in. Now? If you miss it it's still there. If they're gonna release episodes spread out then they should make the time between episodes smaller. Every three days or something. Feel like they need to work better to actually keep the hype momentum high, a week is too long for younger people.
So true there should never be a break in seasons its just stupid and the creators just lazy people like one punch man it doesnt take 6 years too make a anime thats 12 episodes per season so many lazy bums who didnt go back too work after caronna
@@alexanderforbes1452 Absolutely not. You need time for the internet to make videos about it. Sometimes this takes days. So you will just kill off the hype if you release it too quickly. If you release it too slowly the same thing happens. One week is perfect.
The difference between edging and these shows is that you edge to maintain the climax, not to hit pause in the middle of it and come back to it months from now.
They don't seem to understand that for The Walking Dead, hype would actually build because these seasons were 24+ episodes all an hour each. The mid-season finale's actually felt like season finales with scope and buildup & cliffhangers. The fact that invinsible is 4 episodes and each are half an hour is a ridiculous spot to stop at with no buildup nor hype. Imagine if the walking dead had a mid-season finale every 2 episodes.
I agree with the sentiment but I have to correct you in that the episodes are pretty much an hour long, not half an hour. This release schedule is trash and it can absolutely ruin the show permanently if they pull this shit for S3 too (S3 is already confirmed)
@@pablosantisbon7232 you’re right the episodes are 45 minutes, even still the point still stands about 24 episodes vs 8 episode seasons, one makes sense to have breaks for, the other doesn’t
That's exactly why I didn't finish ATOT. I literally rewatched the previous seasons to prepare for the final season to come out so I can keep the momentum and everything fresh in mind. Then when the "finale" part 1 came out. I felt juked because I didn't know it was in parts. If I had known, I would have just waited till all of it came out. But it was too late, I came to the unfinished end and found out. Part 2 finally came out, the momentum was lost and I couldn't remember the details. My experience wasn't as great as it could have been but that's ok, i didn't want to leave it unfinished. I got to the end of part 2 and found out there was going to be another part. I was disappointed, I gave up, I didn't want to be tricked again. By the time the third part did come out I have forgotten major parts especially in the beginning, I didn't want to continue. If I was to continue I would have to re-watch the entire thing, especially when the show references back to the previous events. I already went through re-watching it and didn't want to do it again.
Remind me - AoT season 4 was split into...parts 1, 2, 3, and finale part 1, finale part 2. Right? So essentially 5 different release dates? Imagine being me, coming to EACH of those thinking "oh finally, I can't wait to see this show I love end satisfyingly" I legit was hugely angry and disappointed FOUR TIMES because I don't have a load of anime friends, I don't follow anime news, I just watch the show. And EVERY time it ended like this and I was so angry. Don't call it a "season" if it isn't one season. I hate this so much. "Mid season break" is not a thing if the break is more than 4 weeks, it just becomes a new season at that point. Which ironically would go down better with fans than mid season breaks. Just make short seasons and release 2 seasons per year, psychologically people will be way happier with that lmao it's such an easy change to make things less infuriating.
@Metallijosh100 I didn't even know there were more parts to it. I thought there were just 3. Just shows how I lost interest and just dropped it after learning my lesson from a couple of times. I'm glad I didn't give it a chance for the next ones to come out and feel just as dissatisfied and disappointed. I also do not follow any anime social media or news to avoid spoilers. But I do have friends that are just as into anime as I am, and they fell off just as hard on ATOT.
I felt like everyone never complained about attack on titan doing this. I did the exact same thing too and when I realized there's still more I was kinda like well atleast there's something to look forward with. And ever since this many shows have been doing that!!
They really need to commit to either doing it weekly or dropping it all at once. There’s a reason why weekly has been the standard for so long. The breaks between episodes keep people talking about it but they aren’t so long that it fades from people’s minds. It also has the benefit of allowing most of your viewers to be on more or less the same page.
Also by the time a show starts airing, most of the season should already be 80-90% complete. It's not like they're making the episodes week by week. It feels like the entire industry started drinking stupid juice and biting more than they could chew with every show they produce. Just delay it until you get your shit together instead of taking mid season breaks
Yeah i thought it was originally going to run till end of February since it technically should have, but honestly if the show came out earlier last year the i see the
Kirkman used walking dead as an example, the key difference is that walking dead had like 15-18 episode long seasons, with each episode being an hour long. Invincible has 8 episodes per season that are 40 minutes long. Invincible as we have it now isn’t even as long as walking dead season 1 yet
Animation takes several times as long as live action television does. I think people forget that. Granted 2 years between seasons should have been more than enough time to have the whole season near completion, to the point of not needing another 6 months of break time during a season.
@Bl4ckD0g That's not their point. Good animation takes longer aye but Kirkman was justifying the break as in fans will need a break after watching S2 ep 4 just like TWD fans "need" breaks after their mid season finales to digest what just happened. When actually for the viewers 4 episodes is nothing it's not like it drags on like TWD
The example you made of the ride stopping halfway through happened to me on the Harry Potter ride at Universal XD. It was pretty funny just chillin in the air in front of a screen.
I love Invincible, but any hype I had for it is gone now because of the botched release schedule. Especially since they feel the need to constantly end episodes on cliffhangers, it's just annoying at this point
Man its a good thing Im NOT a fan of Invincible, this sounded like a disaster waiting to happen anyway! Its Walking Dead all over again in terms of how that ship sank.
Arcane did episode breaks well. We get 2-3 in one week. Then wait a week, another 2-3. Wait again. Drop final 2-3, and go silent after huge season finale. Then after a week drop season two trailer. That shit hooks you, making you wait a week anticipating the show. No one could spoil the ending for you shit this shit was comin out live. It was massive. Waiting months, makes you forget. Really easily, there’s too much to keep up with.
this is absolutely spot on. one week had me counting down the days until we got the next 3 episodes. 5 months, i wouldn't even remember what had happened and i'd have to rewatch everything again anyway
Here comes another cry baby rant ironically this content was suppose to be all on one video, but we had to wait for a another video to drop for Charlie to cry some more, the hypocrisy is next level here.
@Bfkcjscbsnjc Invincible took half a year to publish the second quarter of season 2. Charlie took four hours to publish the second part of his video because he got lost in the first topic. The two situations are not comparable and you trying to pretend they are makes you come across as being extremely dense.
pirate and save to an external drive, I’ve got my own library of movies and shows that no streaming service can just take away at any time and no ads or buffering
@@notahumanbeing6892 Oh fo sho, I just hopes piracy doesn't mean certain projects never get made. I'm happy to pay for what I love, but not encourage the streaming services to make some of the crap they have.
The streaming platforms can also enjoy the extra few months of subscription time added to your bill. Yeah, you can cancel and re-up, but some (like me) will forget or would rather not deal with it.
Sonic Prime also did this. The entire show was "three" seasons, but the reality was just that it was one single season cut into three parts from December 2022 to January 2024. There was still some hype here and there, but a lot of the momentum dissipated with every break. Streaming services are trying to replicate Cable, when they completely forgot why streaming existed in the first place: to NOT be Cable.
Man I thought S3 of prime could have been really good with Nine as the villain but I can't believe the entire 8 episode season was just one long fight of infinitely respawning robots.
@@paulrudd1483Agreed. Some parts were okay, but literally the entire season was just action fight scenes, with the conflict with Nine being resolved in less than thirty seconds. It felt so disjointed, like they didn't have enough time to finish it... which is weird, considering we had a whole year from start to finish.
I love invincible, I was so hyped when season 2 came out and I was hugely disappointed when I found out it was being split into parts, I only found out it had came back out through a spoiler I saw on tiktok. Splitting shows doesn’t build suspense, it kills the interest.
Isn’t this how shows used to be? I love taking breaks for shows, just like when gravity falls pulled a summer king cliff hanger. Not every show should be binged, coming back once a week makes me want the show more, splitting the season didn’t make that much sense but it’s not an insane idea
I think the only show I can think of that somewhat warranted (emphasis on somewhat) a mid season break was Breaking Bad season 5 but thats because the cliffhanger had been built up over 4 seasons and it made sense that leaving on that cliffhanger would build up hype for the series finale. As for AOT final season, I gave up after S4 Part 2 because I found out that there would be a part 3 and that wasnt even the end because then there would be a movie. I just watched the rest months after the series ended because I had no idea when Part3 or the finale movie came out.
8:21 this reminds me of a line from Less by Andrew Shaun Greer: "And on that fifth summer, when he was lying abed in a friend's Cape Cod house one afternoon, about two-thirds of the way through the last volume, suddenly, without any warning at all, he read the words The End. In his right hand he held perhaps two hundred pages more - but they were not Proust; they were the cruel trick of some editor's notes and afterword. He felt cheated, swindled, denied a pleasure for which he had spent five years preparing. He went back twenty pages; he tried to build up the feeling again. But it was too late; that possible joy had departed forever."
Funnily enough, the rollercoaster allegory used happened to me. I was on a rollercoaster in legoland london a long time ago, and they decided to maximise how many people were on the rollercoaster they would add carts. Instead of a set of people being on the ride as another prepared, there was a set of people preparing, whilst a set of people would stop at the halfway point, waiting for the last set of people to reach the end to avoid collision. It was miserable.
The thing I hate most about mid season breaks is that when something in the show isn’t as exciting it feels like a waste of time. They’re usually important character building moments, but when there’s only 4 episodes out it feels like they don’t matter. Having the full series out completely eliminates this problem to me, and is the main reason I end up waiting for all parts to come out before I even start watching
It also just kills viewer retention. Lets say the average person hears about invincible, watches the first few episodes, likes it, and then eventually binge watches to this point only to get blue-balled, they might not ever come back because by the time the next episode comes out, they would have moved on with their life already and completely forgotten about the show's existence. Drip feeding might work if it was like a week or two, maybe a month. But- what, five months in the middle of a season? No.
@@An_Average_Idiot yeah I was a major jojo fan until stone ocean was handled as poorly as it was. I’m even a fan of weekly release schedules as long as they’re consistent. Havin a bit of a wait between each episode gives people time to talk about each episode individually and makes sure you don’t have to tip toe around spoilers with your friends
@@intel_coar6844 Exaaaaactly. But _this?_ No. All it does is kill hype. If there were simply problems with production and that was made known? People would likely be more okay with it but this? Just... no.
Binging shows is trash culture imo, week to week keeps the talks and speculation going and lets the show breath in people’s mind than just something watched all in a weekend to be reviewed then done with
When a season reaches its crescendo I like to pause it for a minute or 2 and try to guess what’s gonna happen plot wise. Especially if I’m watching a psychological thriller
Why do that though when the government will just bail you out if your product underperforms? You can even claim that the fans are "racist trolls" if they don't buy it, so you get automatic victimhood points towards your all-defining ESG score!
they wouldnt do it if it didnt net $, kind of like p2w games, overhyping games and early access etc...also speaks to the decline of game quality nowadays because people are willing to pay for it, at the end of the day it is the consumer has to take some accountability
so by that logic if a mechanic fixes your car or a plumber fixes your sink its not stealing if you don't pay for their time since ownership doesn't transfer?
@@ABadAppleeNo, that argument isnt even remotely similar dude. At least try. Thats paying for a service, services are temporary and you dont own anything. Paying for a movie is buying a product. You own that product. If you dont, then piracy of that product isnt theft because you dont own it even if you do buy it.
Someone needs to come up with a new term. I get it, because back in the day you had to literally download the episode or movie you wanted to watch, which then ends up on your computer. So people were stealing it. Now, they have sites where you just go and watch whatever without downloading anything, so it shouldn't be called piracy anymore.
I’ve seen some stuff about how theyce ramped up production and taking a break between an entire season makes sense but i’ve heard they’re already almost done with season three, it wasn’t a production necessity AND the animation of season 2 had a clear drop in quality imo, just take the time you need to make the whole season but don’t pretend you need mid season breaks when it’s clearly a poor attempt to get more money and make more hype.
I think the best example of "Parting" I've seen was Arcane. There were 3 Episodes for each of the 3 Acts and not much wait time in-between. This allows prolonged hype and allowed SHORT times to theorize or digest the cliffhangers. Invincible's cliffhanger wasnt really neeve wracking to me, and several months of waiting was FARR too long for literally just 3 pretty underwhelming episodes save for the last one.
The roller coaster analogy was perfect, that actually happened to me on the mummy ride and once we got going again I just wanted to ride something else
I also found out about the show coming back only because I saw youtube breakdowns show up on my feed. I am happy with the quality of it though, even though the waits have been ridiculous.
I absolutely HATE waiting for episodes. I am the kind of guy who waits for seasons to finish so I can binge. Mid-season breaks are the worst. I hope they learned their lesson.
Adding to this, I wholeheartedly believe that waiting a week per episode should just be scrapped and they should release the entire series all at once (Invincible itself is a prime example of a show that would have benefited from it). We're in 2024, that shit should have been made obsolete years ago. I understand syndicated TV needed to do it, but in this modern day and age there's really no reason or excuse for it anymore, especially since most modern shows are streamed online first and foremost. If Netflix can do it then why can't everywhere else? If they release it all at once not only will people be able to watch it with the hype completely in tact. Sure it could be easy leaks for spoilers but that happens even with individual releases, and if you can watch it all at once you'll probably finish it quickly anyway.
Yeah I agree. I always wait for the season to finish to binge it all at once. Charlie actually made a video a while back bitching that he didn't like the full release model that Netflix does because "he finds it hard to talk about the show with others since they may be at a different part in the season". To that, I say boo-fuckin-hoo. I watch a show for my own enjoyment, not to talk to others about it on the Internet.
I was IN LOVE with AoT until the "Final season" was split up into 2 parts. Then the 2nd part was split into 2 parts again. Then that 3rd part was made into 2 movie-length episodes released MONTHS APART!!!
You must be new to anime, you should be happy that it got an anime ending at all. The usual deal is that if you want to see the ending you need to read the manga lol.
Even the first two parts of Season 4 were fine because AOT did two parts for Season 3 and it was fine. The problem is that they announced "The Final Season" before the manga was even done, so they had to backtrack with "oh the last two movies aren't seasons so we weren't wrong." If they had done Season 4 from 4x1 to maybe Eren arriving in paths as Season 4, and then Eren arriving in paths to the end as Season 5, it would've been way better.
I literally just made this exact comment haha. Still my second favourite anime but jesus Christ I don't know how they spread like 8 hours of content into like 6 separate releases spread across like 3-4 years haha
Glad I waited 10 years while avoiding spoilers for Attack on Titan. The whole ride is an epic journey of emotions and colors if you binge the whole thing. 🔥 Now I’m probably gonna wait 20 years to binge Fate Lostbelt for the whole experience when the overall story gets animated
Agreed.. everyone would prefer the entire thing be released later than splitting it into 2 parts to rush out the first half. I didn't even know part 2 of invincible was out
@@ragnar97 you are correct, it was amazon wanting to have a big hype show for 2 different quarters. Literally corpo greed trying to squeeze as much out of a good show.
Bro I literally COULD NOT watch the 5th episode legally because my Amazon fire stick was buggin and would show a black screen and only playing the audio of the episode, so I had to FREAKING PIRATE JUST TO SEE IT!!!! Absolutely terrible and an example of why piracy happens, because the products of these billion dollar companies SUCK!
The only good example in my lifetime that I remember is the recent Arcane season 1 release. The season was 9 episodes, each about an hour long, and the episodes would release each week. On top of that, the story structure of the season was formatted in a way where there were clear breaks in that section of the story after each three episodes, ending with massive cliffhangers making you desperate for the next week. A week isn't that much time to wait, so it stays in the public consciousness and people continue to talk about it because they know more is coming very soon so its worth keeping in mind. It was two feature length movies in a row basically each week and all episodes were absolute fucking bangers. No hype killed, created a fuck load of conversation, and gave people time to catch up and not be left out. Masterful.
@@justduro1527The schedule was abysmal because the production community wanted the final season to release alongside the manga's ending. That's why they had to rush out what they can and then do breaks for the rest. They should've just pushed the release back for a reasonable amount of time instead of using breaks to bandaid the bad schedule
@@maskedman5657 Netflix had nothing to do with that. AOT's anime adaptation had production schedule issues throughout its run because it was always a resource-heavy endeavor that the production committee also wanted to have installments for as regularly and as frequently as possible, all while the primary studio working on it (Wit) either didn't have enough influence in said committee or wasn't able to be part of it at all. Wit also wasn't making much of their own money as a result of the aforementioned (regardless of whether Wit was part of the production committee, production committees generally congregate multiple stakeholders together to fund a production while minimizing losses-- but this also means that individual gains are less than they would be without one). The anime adaptation was ironically in a precarious position after S3P2 (ironically, because it's probably the most well-received installment of the anime adaptation), with Wit arranging to pass on the responsibility of adapting it and probably only Mappa being willing to step up. Even _then,_ they weren't able to adapt in one continuous go, because even then, Mappa had several other projects they were working on and AOT was always an anime with high standards.
After 4 40 mins episode, what I need is 6 months of digestion time before I can come back to watch 4 more episodes. The series is just so profound that I go into a mini coma after each episode, wondering if my life will ever be the same again. I definitely didn't bookmark it and forget it existed after 3 weeks of wondering where the next episode is.
The biggest problem with this isn’t waiting 5 months for a new episode. It’s having to wait through a 5 months hiatus after watching weekly episodes. How often you release something doesn’t matter anywhere near as much as consistent releases. The quality does need to be there if you take longer to release to maintain viewership but if you release an episode 5 days a week and then suddenly stop releasing them for two weeks everyone will forget about you. If you release fortnightly from the start you don’t have the same problem.
I’m so glad Stone Ocean’s release schedule is finally being talked about, that was my first season I watched with the community and it was essentially ignored by the internet overall, I don’t understand how these companies don’t comprehend the obvious feedback they should be getting
@@ThrashRatsnah it was entirely Netflixs fault. They gave no release schedule, made everyone wait a year after the first batch of episodes dropped. And stopped advertising the show after they destroyed the hype.
@@ThrashRatsAnime-onlys dont usually share the opinions of manga readers, part 5 for example was the consensus worst part for years but after the anime I see people calling it the best one somehow.
@@AceHuman fr im a fan and i waited so long that i completely forgot the anime after watching like halfway through it, and i havent finished it since lmao
Told like 3 of my friends and asked them if theyve watched the latest episode. All of them love invincible and have been so excited for the release. Was so caught off guard when all of them went "Its out? I didnt even know." Release schedules are bullshit the entertainment industry needs to step it up PllleaASEE!!!
It’s honestly ruined the momentum of the show. I’ve almost lost interest in watching it combined with the prime cost increase and addition of adverts, it’s basically killed prime for me.
Yeah, the first one I remember doing it was a breaking bad cutting a season in half. I think they should bring back the TV once a week release schedule. Or maybe like one every day or two or something
When a new show comes out that I like I always watch the first ep then stick in the back of my mind until it's entirely finished so I can binge watch it.
yep, i do the same. i know i hate waiting in the middle, so i just avoid this issue all together, it's been years since i watched something as it was being released unless it got released in one batch. no joking i think the last time i did that was when naruto still was in emition lol. i don't take it too personally, i know i hate having to stop mid-story, so i just don't. i think the most reasonable thing to do is know ourselves and if we have the patience for that or not, and not subject ourselves to the wait when it'sliterally not needed. One could have just waited for the release to be completed, and watch something else instead in the meanwhile (there are more series than hours in our life, for real)
I don’t mind a week by week release schedule, for me it gets me more excited for the next week’s episode. HOWEVER, a case like Invincible is how not to do that style of release, if you’re gonna do a week by week release for an 8 episode season, just release the whole season over 8 weeks, or release two episodes a week for 4 weeks, it’s borderline anti-consumer to only give us 4 episodes of a series that people have been begging for more of since 2021 and then make us wait nearly 6 months for another mere 4 episodes. It’s gonna make people either lose interest, or wait until it’s all out and risk spoilers in the meantime. I can only assume Amazon is doing this on purpose to push free advertising from people complaining about it too. Or at least that’s my conspiracy anyway.
And then they're gonna complain hoq the show is not making enough money to continue while the show is great but theu just fuck it up by release date and marketing.
This is what happened to JoJo Part 6 anime. It had the first third released as a batch, then nothing happened for like 10 months until Netflix realised "oh shit forgot about this lol" and released the other 2 thirds. I'd really like to know where the logic for splitting seasons and giving unnecessarily long pauses is coming from.
Similar to what happened with the last season of attack on titan, they kept delaying the last few episodes and it took almost 2 years just for MAPPA to finish like 5 episodes
That's likely also a workload thing. In that year I think they released Chainsaw Man, AoT AND Vinland Saga. It's hard to compare a studio that has a near-quarterly release schedule to an unnecessary mid-season break. PS: MAPPA is also notorious for overworking their animators. Still though, the Invincible mid-season break really does feel unnecessary.
True it killed the hype but it was necessary, the result was worth it, better than rushing it and release badly animated episode imagine the rumbling with the season 3 cgi for the colossal titan
Yeah no, not similar at all. The final episodes took a lot more work to animate. They look really good, and I didn't mind waiting at all because they did not disappoint. Plus, the manga had already long-since been finished so most die-hard fans already knew what was going to happen.
@@huntercool2232 Yes, you're right, but that wasn't the point. I too don't like to climax early, but I do like to climax. Some people like to masturbate without climaxing, that was the point.
I think that Netflix did have a good model for releases with Arcane. They released 3 episodes each week for 3 weeks. You got a good 3 hours of content for that week and kept me coming back to see what was next. Its all about retention to keep people on there service, but I think a week by week release is the longest I would be able to keep my attention on one show.
I like having some sort of release schedule instead of a dump because it gives me something to look forward to and also don't have to avoid spoilers as hard.
@@bross7801 well, mostly the first three episodes, which are the ones pre time skip. The last 6 work together. But it's true that releasing the first three together worked as a good self contained arc wich left you with a lot to look forward too once they were all teenagers/adults.
I restarted the entire show because I forgot everything, I thought the recap was gonna be more in depth but it just flashes by in like a minute. I was like “yeah I’m lost” so I’m now on episode 2 of season 1 right now
I agree. Either have episodes release weekly or wait until the season is completed and release all the episodes at once. If a show does need a break in the middle of a season it shouldn't be longer than a month.
breaking bad took a huge mid season break if i'm correct, but that's way different because there's way more episodes inbetween breaks. four of five episodes and then a break is criminal
This most likely. I feel like if it was something understandable like production issues they would have just said so, instead of making up such a BS excuse.
It reminds me of when movies used to have intermission breaks, like in 2001 a space odyssey, just the 20 minute black screen except in this case its month long intermissions
That reminds me of when Rick and Morty season 4 came out. They aired half the episodes, then took a 6 month break. At that point, why not just delay the entire season until it can come out entirely on a weekly basis. Worst part was it was only a 10 episode season.
That break to build suspense and hype could’ve been accomplished in a week is what I find funny even two weeks. For example The Last of Us show once a week gave enough people to digest what happened and gained hyped for the next episode
@@kronron4894exactly. “Letting them cook” would’ve been to realize they weren’t going to make the first release date and pushing the entire series back. And am I the only one who feels like the animation took a huge hit in the first episode of Season 2 Part 2? Streaming services continue pushing quantity over quality because it creates short term gains and they don’t yet realize it also creates long term losses as people have no interest in bad animation and bad writing.
@@kronron4894 I'm gonna be honest. If the only reason you were watching a show was because of "hype" instead of quality, that's really lame. Not defending the hiatus, just think jumping on hype trains for the sake of it is dumb af.
Season 2 episode 4 was such a great episode but episode 5 was surprisingly even better, i cannot imagine the amount of free word of mouth advertising they would have got from people just stunned how two great episodes could release only a week apart. They fumbled this.
@@pratiya2132Didn’t watch it brb I’m back and it’s so-so waiting for the good part probably episode 8 with the “others” *Spoilers* Who cares about big and small girl she was a character made to die.
I just remember being absolutely pissed when i heard they're artificaly keeping the 2nd half of the season locked up for months in some weird attempt to prolong the hype for the show, while all it did was the opposite, a lot of people forgot over time and those who maybe didn't were just really annoyed. I got so goddamn annoyed, i went online and found the entire comic book series and went through some parts of it cause of how hard of a buzz kill that mid season break was that i wanted to just go read the comics where i wouldn't be cock blocked.
I think i might just read the comics and not bother watching the show just on principle. It really left a bad taste in my mouth when they did it with the walking dead.
As someone who actually does take breaks like that from time to time, I can just take my own break from a show when I need it. It doesn't make any sense to force that on everyone and make people loose interest while waiting for it constantly. There has been so many things I have rewatched/replayed like 3 or 4 times just to have a catch up due to completely forgetting it between those types of breaks.
Mid season breaks have to be the worst thing about modern television. It sucks, there is no reason I rather it take longer to release fully than semi-release and wait half a year for part 2. I can’t even count how many shows I have dropped from viewing because of forgetting about them due to breaks. It doesn’t help you digest the episodes more it helps you forget them more. I wish shows would stop doing the pauses or broken up seasons, I can’t remember what show it was but i remember the season was broken into fourths which was awful, i never got around to watch the end. I thought the breaks were just because of covid shutting down production and the writers strike also halting it but it continued. This has been bugging me for years now I’m glad it’s not just me.
Just found out about this, recently started the second season and wondered why there where only five episodes. Glad that i only have to wait a week now for a new one.
Yeah, how they handled Stone ocean made me pissed. The time in between seasons was stupid and literally for no reason.i rly hope they don’t do it for SBR

Yeah I was super hyped for season 2 , got through the first 4 episodes and eagerly awaiting the next week to see episode 5 , not knowing that there was gonna be a 3 month break. Saw yesterday that it’s back and I said to myself “ true, I’ll get around to watching it”
A good way to split it was how Arcane (League of Legends) did it. They split 3 Episodes per act everyweek, which in a way make each act kind of a movie. It's long enough for suspense and theorizing but not too long that it looses all hype but we know when the next batch releases unlike this chedule where it's completely random.
I love the way arcane released their batches, it gave everyone a little break each week because you were essentially watching 3 movies, but the breaks didn't last to the point where you forget stuff. It also made sense narratively.

The fact THIS is how I found out Invincible was back says something about how poorly it was handled.
I was about to say the same thing😅
Yeah I remember now looking up the release date like a month ago but even then I forgot about it. Now I have to rewatch part 1 because I only vaguely remember it and it’s only 4 episodes anyway
its insane literally THOUSANDS of people resonate with this, god what an out of touch pretentious fella
Bruh my friend mentioned it today and I had no clue the episode 5 dropped days ago😢
i think they dd it to keep the series name trending on social media, search engines because people who actually liked to series has to constantly lookup the series to read about its release date. i even did that few times whenever i remembered about the series. There is always money behind these kind stunts. Its always the money. Not that "we gotta gib time to viewers process what happened!". If that's the case, why not just offer free counselling or better help subscriptions to viewers.
mid season breaks made sense when tv seasons were 20-25 episodes long. 4 episodes is crazy
To be fair each one is like an hour long, most shows have like 24 minute episodes.
Many people here are not understanding something, by "most shows" i am refering to ANIMATED shows, not any other kind.
@@justduro1527never used to happen. Not even the garbage Simpsons took breaks.

True. Also, the animation isn't the best. I've never been one to harp on Invincible's mid animation in Season 2, but it's insane that they need to take this long for 4 episodes that have middle of the road animation, AND THEN PUT A WEEK BETWEEN EACH EPISODE. THEY LITERALLY HAVE THE STORY WRITTEN ALREADY. All they need to do is adapt it.
@@peanutboy0921 Shows like that have so many episodes that they run them year round now and with streaming being a thing, you can watch them anytime now but the problem with that is that they delay adding the new episodes for a bit so that the networks can make some dough first.
It is insane we had to wait years for a season 2, then got 4 episodes and now have to wait half a year for 4 more
Its even worse because after these 4 episodes, we now have to wait even longer for the next season.
I've noticed like all the voice actors are also having their hands full with live action movies or TV shows. And I'm sure the writers are working on other things as well. It's a great show it just doesn't have full hands on deck. They've kinda just been treating it more so like a hobby I feel like
Idk why they just waited till the end of the year to release the entire thing. This ain't Marvel buddeh
@@papawuise6820 I understand certain pieces of animation take much longer than others, but I feel like that isn't even really an excuse for the long wait times.
Because some parts of the show aren't even fully animated, like Omni-Man dropping that guy for example, he was basically just dragged down with a mouse and theres been other instances like this where it's basically just still images that you don't notice immediately due to how much happens.
Not to mention that the writers really don't have much to do, they already have the whole fleshed out story of Invincible as the base foundation, they aren't writing scripts completely from scratch because they already have basically all of the work there, they just revise and speed up the story mainly it seems like.
It reminds me of how Rick n' Morty was whenever there was so much hype around it at the start, it took an extra long time for them to actually keep building on it.
@@Buboltz i haven't sat down to fully watch invincible yet, but i'm wondering how the people complaining about the waiting periods between seasons feel about arcane. i, personally, and plenty of others, are fine with waiting (in fact we encourage it haha) so long as the result is a masterpiece. though i know qulity isn't on the same level, so i know this doesn't apply here, but i'm curiuous regardless
If your seasons are 20+ episodes, you can take a mid season break and it can make sense. When your seasons are 8 episodes? No....
Yeah… it literally makes no sense.
And even then, a Spring Break, not a Summer Break.
@jellyfishjones4741 true. I usually drop shows at a mid season break. I don't have the attention span to remember what happened lol.
But if the episodes themselves are over 40 minutes long, then it does make sense to take a mid season break in this manner.
@Connie_TinuityError can't agree with that unless it's a thing of production. Which it wasn't in this case, so that wouldn't apply. Even then, the weekly release already sucks + ads on Amazon movie + splitting seasons. Not worth it, imo.
Keep in mind they will INTENTIONALLY delay finished products to keep your subscriptions stuck between multiple months and make you re buy multiple months of subscriptions
Dude right on, I also think they did it to implement their 3 UNSKIPPABLE 60 second ad rolls
Which is silly for Invincible since its tied to Amazon prime which is a 1 year subscription at a time
@@nczioox1116i pay for prime monthly i never have paid once a year

@@nczioox1116amazon prime is either a month or a year, so people could have monthly subscriptions, and often do as opposed to a year. I’d just stop paying for it until it comes back unless there’s actually other content on Amazon prime I’d want to watch.
The fact that it was years between season 1 of invincible and season 2 and they STILL took a mid season break is frankly insulting
EXACTLY like bro asking multiple years between seasons is already pretty absurd for 8 episode seasons 💀 multi month mid season break is a slap in the face. we’ll be lucky to see s3 in the next 10 years at this rate 😒
When I watched the First half of Invincible season 2, there were no ads on amazon prime video. when I came back to watch Part 2, all of a sudden there were un-skippable ads and they were asking for another $2.99 to go "ad-free".

Nah they're all surrounded by yes-men. Nothing will ever be their fault
@@TwofacedPlace They also aren't necessarily motivated to put out a successful product. Sometimes they can make more money by NOT releasing it because of loopholes in tax law that give free money to these companies if they sacrifice an asset.
One Punch Man does this shit, fucking still waiting for S3, I'm gonna still watch the shit out of it tho.
It can be done well, a la Better Call Saul s06 and JJK (b/w the 2 arcs). Making people take a multiple-months long break in the middle of a storyline is absurd though.
Same with Aot. The fact that we even have "final season final part part 2" removed every speck of hype from my body, just end it already 💀
An episode a week, builds hype.
Drip feeding content to people between months mean they'll have either died of thirst first or gone searching for greener pastures.
Once a week is pretty much arbitrary now, though. Used to be sites needed to be on a consistent schedule because if you missed it you just missed it. So once a week at the same time every week means people will catch on to when they need to check in. Now? If you miss it it's still there. If they're gonna release episodes spread out then they should make the time between episodes smaller. Every three days or something. Feel like they need to work better to actually keep the hype momentum high, a week is too long for younger people.
So true there should never be a break in seasons its just stupid and the creators just lazy people like one punch man it doesnt take 6 years too make a anime thats 12 episodes per season so many lazy bums who didnt go back too work after caronna
@@alexanderforbes1452 Absolutely not. You need time for the internet to make videos about it. Sometimes this takes days. So you will just kill off the hype if you release it too quickly. If you release it too slowly the same thing happens. One week is perfect.
The difference between edging and these shows is that you edge to maintain the climax, not to hit pause in the middle of it and come back to it months from now.

thats exactly right.
They don't seem to understand that for The Walking Dead, hype would actually build because these seasons were 24+ episodes all an hour each. The mid-season finale's actually felt like season finales with scope and buildup & cliffhangers.
The fact that invinsible is 4 episodes and each are half an hour is a ridiculous spot to stop at with no buildup nor hype. Imagine if the walking dead had a mid-season finale every 2 episodes.
I agree with the sentiment but I have to correct you in that the episodes are pretty much an hour long, not half an hour. This release schedule is trash and it can absolutely ruin the show permanently if they pull this shit for S3 too (S3 is already confirmed)
@@pablosantisbon7232 you’re right the episodes are 45 minutes, even still the point still stands about 24 episodes vs 8 episode seasons, one makes sense to have breaks for, the other doesn’t

Agreed 🤷🏽♀️
I was lucky enough to start watching invincible season 2, 3 weeks before not knowing it would be back
Especially for 4 damn episodes 😂
Yeah, if it's anything beyond 3 weeks, I just forget half of it.
The ONLY reason I found that invincible came back were TikTok’s about Rex being a clutchmaster.
That's exactly why I didn't finish ATOT. I literally rewatched the previous seasons to prepare for the final season to come out so I can keep the momentum and everything fresh in mind. Then when the "finale" part 1 came out. I felt juked because I didn't know it was in parts. If I had known, I would have just waited till all of it came out. But it was too late, I came to the unfinished end and found out. Part 2 finally came out, the momentum was lost and I couldn't remember the details. My experience wasn't as great as it could have been but that's ok, i didn't want to leave it unfinished. I got to the end of part 2 and found out there was going to be another part. I was disappointed, I gave up, I didn't want to be tricked again. By the time the third part did come out I have forgotten major parts especially in the beginning, I didn't want to continue. If I was to continue I would have to re-watch the entire thing, especially when the show references back to the previous events. I already went through re-watching it and didn't want to do it again.
Remind me - AoT season 4 was split into...parts 1, 2, 3, and finale part 1, finale part 2. Right? So essentially 5 different release dates?
Imagine being me, coming to EACH of those thinking "oh finally, I can't wait to see this show I love end satisfyingly" I legit was hugely angry and disappointed FOUR TIMES because I don't have a load of anime friends, I don't follow anime news, I just watch the show. And EVERY time it ended like this and I was so angry. Don't call it a "season" if it isn't one season. I hate this so much. "Mid season break" is not a thing if the break is more than 4 weeks, it just becomes a new season at that point. Which ironically would go down better with fans than mid season breaks. Just make short seasons and release 2 seasons per year, psychologically people will be way happier with that lmao it's such an easy change to make things less infuriating.
@Metallijosh100 I didn't even know there were more parts to it. I thought there were just 3. Just shows how I lost interest and just dropped it after learning my lesson from a couple of times. I'm glad I didn't give it a chance for the next ones to come out and feel just as dissatisfied and disappointed. I also do not follow any anime social media or news to avoid spoilers. But I do have friends that are just as into anime as I am, and they fell off just as hard on ATOT.
I felt like everyone never complained about attack on titan doing this. I did the exact same thing too and when I realized there's still more I was kinda like well atleast there's something to look forward with. And ever since this many shows have been doing that!!
They really need to commit to either doing it weekly or dropping it all at once. There’s a reason why weekly has been the standard for so long. The breaks between episodes keep people talking about it but they aren’t so long that it fades from people’s minds. It also has the benefit of allowing most of your viewers to be on more or less the same page.
Also by the time a show starts airing, most of the season should already be 80-90% complete. It's not like they're making the episodes week by week. It feels like the entire industry started drinking stupid juice and biting more than they could chew with every show they produce. Just delay it until you get your shit together instead of taking mid season breaks

@@MaggioWhetstoneso then it hasn't been as long as the collective average of one season of twd, then?
@Bl4ckD0g That's not their point. Good animation takes longer aye but Kirkman was justifying the break as in fans will need a break after watching S2 ep 4 just like TWD fans "need" breaks after their mid season finales to digest what just happened.

I think the only show I can think of that somewhat warranted (emphasis on somewhat) a mid season break was Breaking Bad season 5 but thats because the cliffhanger had been built up over 4 seasons and it made sense that leaving on that cliffhanger would build up hype for the series finale. As for AOT final season, I gave up after S4 Part 2 because I found out that there would be a part 3 and that wasnt even the end because then there would be a movie. I just watched the rest months after the series ended because I had no idea when Part3 or the finale movie came out.

Mid-video breaks are unacceptable. We need to stop this release schedule
8:21 this reminds me of a line from Less by Andrew Shaun Greer: "And on that fifth summer, when he was lying abed in a friend's Cape Cod house one afternoon, about two-thirds of the way through the last volume, suddenly, without any warning at all, he read the words The End. In his right hand he held perhaps two hundred pages more - but they were not Proust; they were the cruel trick of some editor's notes and afterword. He felt cheated, swindled, denied a pleasure for which he had spent five years preparing. He went back twenty pages; he tried to build up the feeling again. But it was too late; that possible joy had departed forever."
Funnily enough, the rollercoaster allegory used happened to me. I was on a rollercoaster in legoland london a long time ago, and they decided to maximise how many people were on the rollercoaster they would add carts. Instead of a set of people being on the ride as another prepared, there was a set of people preparing, whilst a set of people would stop at the halfway point, waiting for the last set of people to reach the end to avoid collision. It was miserable.
The thing I hate most about mid season breaks is that when something in the show isn’t as exciting it feels like a waste of time. They’re usually important character building moments, but when there’s only 4 episodes out it feels like they don’t matter. Having the full series out completely eliminates this problem to me, and is the main reason I end up waiting for all parts to come out before I even start watching
It also just kills viewer retention. Lets say the average person hears about invincible, watches the first few episodes, likes it, and then eventually binge watches to this point only to get blue-balled, they might not ever come back because by the time the next episode comes out, they would have moved on with their life already and completely forgotten about the show's existence.

@@chuckled125Sometimes still, they do.
Why do that though when the government will just bail you out if your product underperforms? You can even claim that the fans are "racist trolls" if they don't buy it, so you get automatic victimhood points towards your all-defining ESG score!
they wouldnt do it if it didnt net $, kind of like p2w games, overhyping games and early access etc...also speaks to the decline of game quality nowadays because people are willing to pay for it, at the end of the day it is the consumer has to take some accountability
Piracy isn't stealing if spending money does not equal ownership.

so by that logic if a mechanic fixes your car or a plumber fixes your sink its not stealing if you don't pay for their time since ownership doesn't transfer?
@@ABadAppleeNo, that argument isnt even remotely similar dude. At least try.
Thats paying for a service, services are temporary and you dont own anything.
Paying for a movie is buying a product. You own that product. If you dont, then piracy of that product isnt theft because you dont own it even if you do buy it.
Someone needs to come up with a new term. I get it, because back in the day you had to literally download the episode or movie you wanted to watch, which then ends up on your computer. So people were stealing it. Now, they have sites where you just go and watch whatever without downloading anything, so it shouldn't be called piracy anymore.
That’s one of the most nonsensical comparisons I’ve ever heard.
I’ve seen some stuff about how theyce ramped up production and taking a break between an entire season makes sense but i’ve heard they’re already almost done with season three, it wasn’t a production necessity AND the animation of season 2 had a clear drop in quality imo, just take the time you need to make the whole season but don’t pretend you need mid season breaks when it’s clearly a poor attempt to get more money and make more hype.
So glad you spoke on this topic. It's like eating the burger while you wait for the fries to cook lmao

I think the best example of "Parting" I've seen was Arcane. There were 3 Episodes for each of the 3 Acts and not much wait time in-between. This allows prolonged hype and allowed SHORT times to theorize or digest the cliffhangers.
Invincible's cliffhanger wasnt really neeve wracking to me, and several months of waiting was FARR too long for literally just 3 pretty underwhelming episodes save for the last one.
Agreed I really liked the way they did it
I always watch shows when it’s all out and avoid spoilers so I didn’t know that lol
Arcane did it right there were like 2-3 weeks max between the acts dropping
The roller coaster analogy was perfect, that actually happened to me on the mummy ride and once we got going again I just wanted to ride something else
I also found out about the show coming back only because I saw youtube breakdowns show up on my feed. I am happy with the quality of it though, even though the waits have been ridiculous.
I absolutely HATE waiting for episodes. I am the kind of guy who waits for seasons to finish so I can binge. Mid-season breaks are the worst. I hope they learned their lesson.
Same
Adding to this, I wholeheartedly believe that waiting a week per episode should just be scrapped and they should release the entire series all at once (Invincible itself is a prime example of a show that would have benefited from it). We're in 2024, that shit should have been made obsolete years ago. I understand syndicated TV needed to do it, but in this modern day and age there's really no reason or excuse for it anymore, especially since most modern shows are streamed online first and foremost. If Netflix can do it then why can't everywhere else? If they release it all at once not only will people be able to watch it with the hype completely in tact. Sure it could be easy leaks for spoilers but that happens even with individual releases, and if you can watch it all at once you'll probably finish it quickly anyway.
@@lucianoben-malek693 Thanks. Came to say the same but you did the work for me. There is no reason to try to trickle-feed a series.
@@JD2jr. Thank you! It really baffles me that they still do it these days 🤔
Yeah I agree. I always wait for the season to finish to binge it all at once.
Charlie actually made a video a while back bitching that he didn't like the full release model that Netflix does because "he finds it hard to talk about the show with others since they may be at a different part in the season". To that, I say boo-fuckin-hoo. I watch a show for my own enjoyment, not to talk to others about it on the Internet.
I was IN LOVE with AoT until the "Final season" was split up into 2 parts. Then the 2nd part was split into 2 parts again.
Then that 3rd part was made into 2 movie-length episodes released MONTHS APART!!!
Ah, yes, the final season, the final final season, the final final final TV special, and the final final final final-for-realsies finale.
You must be new to anime, you should be happy that it got an anime ending at all. The usual deal is that if you want to see the ending you need to read the manga lol.
Even the first two parts of Season 4 were fine because AOT did two parts for Season 3 and it was fine. The problem is that they announced "The Final Season" before the manga was even done, so they had to backtrack with "oh the last two movies aren't seasons so we weren't wrong." If they had done Season 4 from 4x1 to maybe Eren arriving in paths as Season 4, and then Eren arriving in paths to the end as Season 5, it would've been way better.
I literally just made this exact comment haha. Still my second favourite anime but jesus Christ I don't know how they spread like 8 hours of content into like 6 separate releases spread across like 3-4 years haha
i just waited until that whole shet came out so I can watch it in one sitting.
It’s funny you used the mummy ride as an example because my family and I got trapped under the FIRE portion of the ride for an HOUR years ago.
Glad I waited 10 years while avoiding spoilers for Attack on Titan.
The whole ride is an epic journey of emotions and colors if you binge the whole thing. 🔥
Now I’m probably gonna wait 20
years to binge Fate Lostbelt for the whole experience when the overall story gets animated
Agreed.. everyone would prefer the entire thing be released later than splitting it into 2 parts to rush out the first half. I didn't even know part 2 of invincible was out
I may be wrong but I seem to recall it was already done whenever part 1 came out. They broke it up into 2 parts just because
@@ragnar97 you are correct, it was amazon wanting to have a big hype show for 2 different quarters. Literally corpo greed trying to squeeze as much out of a good show.
Oh well
@@itsOZonehazbin basically was that big hype show for next quarter they didn't need a 2nd one
Bro I literally COULD NOT watch the 5th episode legally because my Amazon fire stick was buggin and would show a black screen and only playing the audio of the episode, so I had to FREAKING PIRATE JUST TO SEE IT!!!! Absolutely terrible and an example of why piracy happens, because the products of these billion dollar companies SUCK!
Well Amazon fire stick is a terrible tv
Well that's dumb
I have Amazon and I’m like ehhh pirate😂😂even tho I have it official
Yea I just pirated it because everyone I knew stopped paying for prime so I couldn't watch it anyways 😅
The only good example in my lifetime that I remember is the recent Arcane season 1 release. The season was 9 episodes, each about an hour long, and the episodes would release each week. On top of that, the story structure of the season was formatted in a way where there were clear breaks in that section of the story after each three episodes, ending with massive cliffhangers making you desperate for the next week. A week isn't that much time to wait, so it stays in the public consciousness and people continue to talk about it because they know more is coming very soon so its worth keeping in mind. It was two feature length movies in a row basically each week and all episodes were absolute fucking bangers. No hype killed, created a fuck load of conversation, and gave people time to catch up and not be left out. Masterful.
THEY DID IT WITH JOJO PART6 WHY DID THEY DO IT WITH IT INVINCIBLE
Because they want money, cultural relevance doesn't affect the managers pockets so they don't care
Also with Attack on Titan Season 4. And I haven't seen it all yet but I hard that had like 2 mid season hiatuses
@@maskedman5657 AOT is more understandable, specially for the last part, they just needed time to do well the animation
@@justduro1527The schedule was abysmal because the production community wanted the final season to release alongside the manga's ending. That's why they had to rush out what they can and then do breaks for the rest.
They should've just pushed the release back for a reasonable amount of time instead of using breaks to bandaid the bad schedule
@@maskedman5657 Netflix had nothing to do with that. AOT's anime adaptation had production schedule issues throughout its run because it was always a resource-heavy endeavor that the production committee also wanted to have installments for as regularly and as frequently as possible, all while the primary studio working on it (Wit) either didn't have enough influence in said committee or wasn't able to be part of it at all. Wit also wasn't making much of their own money as a result of the aforementioned (regardless of whether Wit was part of the production committee, production committees generally congregate multiple stakeholders together to fund a production while minimizing losses-- but this also means that individual gains are less than they would be without one).
The anime adaptation was ironically in a precarious position after S3P2 (ironically, because it's probably the most well-received installment of the anime adaptation), with Wit arranging to pass on the responsibility of adapting it and probably only Mappa being willing to step up. Even _then,_ they weren't able to adapt in one continuous go, because even then, Mappa had several other projects they were working on and AOT was always an anime with high standards.
I was watching season 2 of Invincible. I didn't know there was going to be a break in the middle. It legit killed my enjoyment
Im sorry about that. That truely sucks and Im not impressed from the guy who kinda sank Walking Dead btw.
They would’ve had a full season two but DEI forced them to cut the season in two and focus on the GF side character that no one cares about lol 😆
Lol
When shows do mid-season breaks I don't watch the season at all until the full thing is out.
I already hate weekly episode releases over the binge model I can’t imagine anyone wanting a break
I NEEDED that recap at the start of ep5
Hahahahah 😂😂😂😂 truee
only recap ive ever actually let play out and paid attention lmao
After 4 40 mins episode, what I need is 6 months of digestion time before I can come back to watch 4 more episodes. The series is just so profound that I go into a mini coma after each episode, wondering if my life will ever be the same again. I definitely didn't bookmark it and forget it existed after 3 weeks of wondering where the next episode is.
I hope you recovered well from your multiple mini comas.
I finally watched invincible and caught up around the time episode 4 of season 2 came out and then found out how long i had to wait after that
1:00 I've never heard moer expressions in a single minute
The biggest problem with this isn’t waiting 5 months for a new episode. It’s having to wait through a 5 months hiatus after watching weekly episodes. How often you release something doesn’t matter anywhere near as much as consistent releases. The quality does need to be there if you take longer to release to maintain viewership but if you release an episode 5 days a week and then suddenly stop releasing them for two weeks everyone will forget about you. If you release fortnightly from the start you don’t have the same problem.

I’m so glad Stone Ocean’s release schedule is finally being talked about, that was my first season I watched with the community and it was essentially ignored by the internet overall, I don’t understand how these companies don’t comprehend the obvious feedback they should be getting
I thought stone ocen didnt get much interest because people didnt quite like the manga as much as others.

Here before the bots
I still haven't forgiven Netflix for killing the Stone Ocean hype with it's shitty batch releases.
Yeah, the first one I remember doing it was a breaking bad cutting a season in half. I think they should bring back the TV once a week release schedule. Or maybe like one every day or two or something
I can’t tell if they were the reason Seven Deadly Sins got dragged out for us to get new shit, wouldn’t doubt it
When a new show comes out that I like I always watch the first ep then stick in the back of my mind until it's entirely finished so I can binge watch it.
yep, i do the same. i know i hate waiting in the middle, so i just avoid this issue all together, it's been years since i watched something as it was being released unless it got released in one batch. no joking i think the last time i did that was when naruto still was in emition lol. i don't take it too personally, i know i hate having to stop mid-story, so i just don't. i think the most reasonable thing to do is know ourselves and if we have the patience for that or not, and not subject ourselves to the wait when it'sliterally not needed.
One could have just waited for the release to be completed, and watch something else instead in the meanwhile (there are more series than hours in our life, for real)
@@magical571 it's kinda crazy how some people didn't even make it to naruto being finished.
Man thousand years blood arc going to a part 3 has me just like this, I forgot about it, saw it and I then found out it was divided in parts
I don’t mind a week by week release schedule, for me it gets me more excited for the next week’s episode.
HOWEVER, a case like Invincible is how not to do that style of release, if you’re gonna do a week by week release for an 8 episode season, just release the whole season over 8 weeks, or release two episodes a week for 4 weeks, it’s borderline anti-consumer to only give us 4 episodes of a series that people have been begging for more of since 2021 and then make us wait nearly 6 months for another mere 4 episodes. It’s gonna make people either lose interest, or wait until it’s all out and risk spoilers in the meantime.
I can only assume Amazon is doing this on purpose to push free advertising from people complaining about it too. Or at least that’s my conspiracy anyway.
Yea it's just weird
And then they're gonna complain hoq the show is not making enough money to continue while the show is great but theu just fuck it up by release date and marketing.
This is what happened to JoJo Part 6 anime. It had the first third released as a batch, then nothing happened for like 10 months until Netflix realised "oh shit forgot about this lol" and released the other 2 thirds. I'd really like to know where the logic for splitting seasons and giving unnecessarily long pauses is coming from.
Honestly, it’s been so long I forgot this show existed and then knowing still have to wait for 3 episodes and the. Its done is very not fun
@@Leo.V highly doubt that. the boys and invincible are their most successful shows lol
Similar to what happened with the last season of attack on titan, they kept delaying the last few episodes and it took almost 2 years just for MAPPA to finish like 5 episodes
@@nouserhiddensounds interesting
Do you recall the title/channel of that mini-doc?
(I don’t think you’re allowed to share the link to it here)
That's likely also a workload thing. In that year I think they released Chainsaw Man, AoT AND Vinland Saga. It's hard to compare a studio that has a near-quarterly release schedule to an unnecessary mid-season break.
PS: MAPPA is also notorious for overworking their animators. Still though, the Invincible mid-season break really does feel unnecessary.
It’s not the same at all if you were educated on the topic
True it killed the hype but it was necessary, the result was worth it, better than rushing it and release badly animated episode imagine the rumbling with the season 3 cgi for the colossal titan
Yeah no, not similar at all. The final episodes took a lot more work to animate. They look really good, and I didn't mind waiting at all because they did not disappoint. Plus, the manga had already long-since been finished so most die-hard fans already knew what was going to happen.
Love the shoutout to The Mummy. That ride is goat’d🙌🏻

7:02 What an amazing way to describe it.
Wasn’t the best example tbh. Most people don’t like to finish early lol
@@huntercool2232 Yes, you're right, but that wasn't the point. I too don't like to climax early, but I do like to climax. Some people like to masturbate without climaxing, that was the point.
I think that Netflix did have a good model for releases with Arcane. They released 3 episodes each week for 3 weeks. You got a good 3 hours of content for that week and kept me coming back to see what was next. Its all about retention to keep people on there service, but I think a week by week release is the longest I would be able to keep my attention on one show.
I like having some sort of release schedule instead of a dump because it gives me something to look forward to and also don't have to avoid spoilers as hard.
I remember it especially worked for arcane because the show was made like 3 lots of 3 episode arcs
@@bross7801 well, mostly the first three episodes, which are the ones pre time skip. The last 6 work together. But it's true that releasing the first three together worked as a good self contained arc wich left you with a lot to look forward too once they were all teenagers/adults.
I restarted the entire show because I forgot everything, I thought the recap was gonna be more in depth but it just flashes by in like a minute. I was like “yeah I’m lost” so I’m now on episode 2 of season 1 right now
As soon as I realized there was going to be a big break I put the show down to wait until the whole show was out
I agree. Either have episodes release weekly or wait until the season is completed and release all the episodes at once. If a show does need a break in the middle of a season it shouldn't be longer than a month.
breaking bad took a huge mid season break if i'm correct, but that's way different because there's way more episodes inbetween breaks. four of five episodes and then a break is criminal
The entire season should of just been delayed and first episode came out yesterday instead of 5th
Pretty sure they did this to extend subscriptions to Amazon as long as they could and increase profit. They also added mid-roll ads to Amazon prime.
Writer and Actor strike made it so Amazon didn’t have much releasing so they more than likely delayed it to have something come out in march
This most likely. I feel like if it was something understandable like production issues they would have just said so, instead of making up such a BS excuse.
It reminds me of when movies used to have intermission breaks, like in 2001 a space odyssey, just the 20 minute black screen except in this case its month long intermissions
The only exception to this rule is the animated Spider-Man movies, everyone’s counting the days till BTSV
That reminds me of when Rick and Morty season 4 came out. They aired half the episodes, then took a 6 month break. At that point, why not just delay the entire season until it can come out entirely on a weekly basis. Worst part was it was only a 10 episode season.
I literally stopped watching after this
I'm usually "let them cook" when it comes to a seires getting delayed, but this is ridiculous...
They didnt cook, they left it on the oven. it grew mold on it, and now they are gonna complain not many people watch the show (the hype is gone).
That break to build suspense and hype could’ve been accomplished in a week is what I find funny even two weeks. For example The Last of Us show once a week gave enough people to digest what happened and gained hyped for the next episode
@@nickisnotgnarly yeah its not like they went on a hiatus for a month, it was half a year for literally no reason
@@kronron4894exactly. “Letting them cook” would’ve been to realize they weren’t going to make the first release date and pushing the entire series back. And am I the only one who feels like the animation took a huge hit in the first episode of Season 2 Part 2? Streaming services continue pushing quantity over quality because it creates short term gains and they don’t yet realize it also creates long term losses as people have no interest in bad animation and bad writing.
@@kronron4894 I'm gonna be honest. If the only reason you were watching a show was because of "hype" instead of quality, that's really lame.

It forces you to potential rematch the 1st half again
As someone who actually does take breaks like that from time to time, I can just take my own break from a show when I need it. It doesn't make any sense to force that on everyone and make people loose interest while waiting for it constantly. There has been so many things I have rewatched/replayed like 3 or 4 times just to have a catch up due to completely forgetting it between those types of breaks.
Mid season breaks have to be the worst thing about modern television. It sucks, there is no reason I rather it take longer to release fully than semi-release and wait half a year for part 2. I can’t even count how many shows I have dropped from viewing because of forgetting about them due to breaks. It doesn’t help you digest the episodes more it helps you forget them more. I wish shows would stop doing the pauses or broken up seasons, I can’t remember what show it was but i remember the season was broken into fourths which was awful, i never got around to watch the end. I thought the breaks were just because of covid shutting down production and the writers strike also halting it but it continued. This has been bugging me for years now I’m glad it’s not just me.
stone oceans release is what drove me to ignore invincible season 2 until it was completely released. makes it so hard to keep up
Just found out about this, recently started the second season and wondered why there where only five episodes. Glad that i only have to wait a week now for a new one.

A good way to split it was how Arcane (League of Legends) did it. They split 3 Episodes per act everyweek, which in a way make each act kind of a movie. It's long enough for suspense and theorizing but not too long that it looses all hype but we know when the next batch releases unlike this chedule where it's completely random.
I love the way arcane released their batches, it gave everyone a little break each week because you were essentially watching 3 movies, but the breaks didn't last to the point where you forget stuff. It also made sense narratively.
