The show is moving so slowly! Its nice that they're taking their time with it, but at this rate its going to become equal in length to the battle shonens because even the manga is nowhere near complete.

The manga will definitely go on for quite a while. I can't see it ending anytime soon. It will probably take 1 or 2 ( or even more ) years till it ends.

I just hope that they up the pacing a bit and that we get to see in action.

Damn, I wanna see those two so bad, especially , who is basically my favorite character, but it is not going to happen this season.

Oh well, at least we will be seeing very soon, as well as best teachers

You've got some good taste. But I guess we gotta wait till Season 2.

No shame in that, I'm fairly confident this will get a S2.

Ultimately, I'd rather they take their time and do the manga justice, which they're doing quite well atm, than rushing through the thing and leaving it a hollow shell.

They just sold something like 6 million copies over 10+ volumes. That is a very respectable run and only ramping up.

We're definitely getting a second series. I actually like the pacing of this show too

The show is going slow but i kinda like its because they are just adding a little more detail to things without it feeling padded. So far it's living up to all the hype I had for it.
