I wonder if Hiura really has something to do with the Cupid or if that's just something to do with the pretty boy design, or both. Not gonna think about it, since they don't even try to make us care about him.

Compared to the original, Orion actually has 2 more episodes (original has 17, Orion 19), but the story focuses so much on Ichihoshi that it doesn't feel like it. The original series has two less matches so they spend the extra time on character development instead. GO also had 5 matches, but unlike Orion they actually had the time for character development because they didn't focus on one character and there weren't 19 members

The original season 3 does have more episodes for the second half, but I don't see how it's going help Orion. I predict they'll just have more disciples with tragic backstories that we as viewers should apparently care about. The original had 41 episodes while GO had 24 for the main tournament, and I assume Orion will have the same episodes as the latter. Hino claims that Orion will be the longest series but frankly it can't support itself The season itself isn't over yet, which should at least include the more crazy stuff.

But like I said, I don't expect much either. If they do screw it up, then no excuses should be made, since they are now done with Generic The Character.

Imagine, every single Disciple is an orphan kid, or got some family issues. heh i-its just done different!

Considering how bad Orion is doing,  you might be right lmao. It needs a shining, falling star of a thousand miracles to help it. Even so, at that point, people would likely just fully drop it. Gonna give it some time.
