Any predictions of how many chapters might be in each episode? OR how long the season will be in general? Yeah. I think 4 seasons total would be a great idea to shoot for at this point. I also think season 3 should be like 26 episodes, since it seems it will cover everything from like the unseen 2nd half or so of chapter 51 to chapter 90.

They should trim down the Uprising arc a bit so it doesn't drag out needlessly with excessive talking, as well as minimize any filler scenes, but still keep the important plot-relevant things.

If done right, both cours/arcs/whatever of season 3 should last ~13 episodes each for a total of ~26 episodes. Don't worry, the animators add and take stuff out. The Uprising arc was great to me and I read through it relatively fast while still understanding and reading everything of course. I just can't wait to see all this animated and how different or similar the anime will be.

I'd like for them to keep a consistent number like:

Season 1: 25 episodes

Season 2: 12 episodes

Season 3: 25 episode

Season 4: 12 episodes

Well somewhat consistent like every other season haha and cut each every other season in half. I heard the series will be at 110 chapters? But as a prediction. Man the series is ending sooner than we think but there is hope. I heard they could extended a volume to 128 chapters :0 Man what a great series this series is! I hope my future comic or novel can be this mysterious or good :D

That's good to know. Yeah. I liked Uprising for the most part as well. It had great story plot focus, and it still had fun and exciting action and fighting scenes.

I'm convinced the manga will go beyond just 110 chapters. They'll definitely need at least one more arc after this current Marley arc the way things are going. Otherwise, it will be rushed and incomplete. And honestly, they may even need another arc even after that, and that could serve as the final arc, as I don't think it will need any more arcs after that, although I don’t know for sure. So I'm guessing it will at least go to chapter 126, which would put us in early 2020. Maybe ~142-146 chapters total will do, which would put us in mid or late 2021.

And honestly, I wouldn't mind the animators using a strategy where every season, from now on, is made of one cour (or ~12-13 episodes), covering one arc each. That way, we could, at least in theory, get one arc covered each year.

Season 1 came out 2013 and was 2 cours, 25 episodes, covering the Battle For Trost and Female Titan arcs.

Season 2 came out 2017 and was 1 cour, 12 episodes, covering the Clash Of Titans arc.

Season 3 comes out 2018 and can be 1 cour, ~12-13 episodes, covering the Uprising arc.

Season 4 can come out 2019 and be 1 cour, ~12-13 episodes, covering the Return To Shiganshina arc.

Season 5 can come out 2020 and be 1 cour, ~12-13 episodes, covering the Marley arc.

Season 6 can come out 2021 and be 1 cour, ~12-13 episodes, covering the next arc.

Season 7 can come out 2022 and be 1 cour, ~12-13 episodes, covering the hypothetical final arc, if another one is necessary.

Alternatively, some seasons can also be 2 cours, or ~24-26 episodes. That could leave us with ~4-5 seasons total.

This would put us at ~85- or ~97-102 episodes total. Not including OVAs, of course. Season 3 will cover 2 arcs the Uprising and Return to Shiganshina.

And yeah I agree that the manga will go on longer than 110. Everything cannot be wrapped up in just 9 more chapters
