Fans of Golden Kamuy are eagerly awaiting news about Golden Kamuy Season 5, which is slated to be the final installment of the beloved anime series. Rumor has it that a release date announcement may arrive on July 16th during an upcoming Special Event featuring members from its original Japanese cast. This would take place only weeks after viewers have finished streaming through all episodes of season four!
After the fourth season of Golden Kamuy switched production from Geno Studio to Brain’s Base, it became a 13-episode affair. Noboru Takagi was back in his role as series compositor and scriptwriter while Kenichiro Suehiro once again lent his hand to composing background music. The opening and ending theme songs for Season 5 remain under wraps – an exciting mystery that awaits avid fans!
A Comparison of Golden Kamuy Manga and Anime
Geno Studio’s adaptation of the popular manga series Golden Kamuy has left some fans dissatisfied, as they felt the story was too condensed compared to its predecessor by Brain’s Base. While the composition writer remained unchanged, readers were still disappointed with a streamlined version that did not do justice to the original work.
To cover the in-between story arcs, the first season of Golden Kamuy jumped from Chapter 62 to 70 and concluded with Volume 14: Chapter 139. To ensure fans didn’t miss any laughter-inducing moments, 30-second animated shorts were released online while longer episodes were made available as OVAs (Original Video Animations). With this end goal achieved, it was time for Sugimoto and Nopperabou to reach a critical turning point.
The third season was a more faithful adaptation of the manga, and it had superior pacing when compared with its predecessors. The progressive flow of the story arcs being adapted provided an optimal pace that didn’t seem hurried or rushed.
As the fourth season of Golden Kamuy aired in October 2022, there were just 113 chapters left to adapt before its Grand Finale with Chapter 314. Based on previous seasons’ pacing, it is anticipated that Season 5 will be it’s last.
Episode 1 of Golden Kamuy Season 4 was very successful, with the same pacing of 5 chapters in each episode that its predecessors had been renowned for.
The 4th season’s debut episode even revisited the storyline of Pet Monster, which was left out before. It is believed that Golden Kamuy Season 4 Episode 13 will mirror Volume 28: Chapter 274 in its finale. This event marks the commencement of the Sapporo story arc, known to be an ideal point to pause at.
We’ve got great news! There are still enough chapters left to make a Golden Kamuy Season 5, and it is guaranteed to be the most faithful adaptation since there’s no need for condensation. If the fourth season adapts more than projected, then there could be an animated movie that would mark the end of this incredible series.
