It's 24 episodes. Expect some things to get cut or shortened. Signs are good so far that they'll manage it well enough.

Also, in regards to what someone said about weapons versus Cantus. Two things:

1. Humans are one of the weakest animals on the planet, and yet they sit at the top of the animal kingdom. This is the true power of the human brain.

2. We're unrivaled because of this, and because we have no competition. There is nothing else like us in our world, but in SSY, there is.

Also keep in mind that in SSY, the most dangerous power on the planet (humans) is also chained to a huge weakness that is advantageous to that other power: killing humanoids results in backlash on the user. You think that Squealer didn't notice this? He absolutely did. He realized his gods were fallible, but useful toward his own end: power. He's the Starscream of SSY, a pathetic creature scheming for his own lust. So he'll use them, then turn on them, like he did before. And if he loses that bet, he'll try and use them again. First to save his own hide, and then to try and regain his power.

The rise of the Queerats is a greater danger to the remains of humanity than any cruel culling method it performs on itself. You have a species that breeds rapidly, learns quickly, and is very territorial, to the point of being warlike. Heaven forbid if they found human technology or information, or even persuaded a Cantus user to join them. Especially now that we know they can lobotomize. What if they found a human they could remove the feedback restriction from, and even brainwash? You'd be giving a nuclear weapon to a race too immature to use it responsibly.
