This might be good. It will probably run in a single season of 25~26 episodes, enter hiatus and launch a second season in the future. Pretty much what Magi did and SnK will do.

Doing some math: If they use up to 50 chapters (end of Byzel arc) in 25 episodes, we would have left 24 chapters (ofc there will be more when it actually starts). A 1-year break between 2 seasons would mean ~50 new chapters, which would be enough for more 1 season. So I doubt that a break between seasons would be longer than a year.

Also, I doubt that the anime would include filler arcs, since all arcs are tightly packed together, making it harder to introduce anything new without breaking the sequence.
