Well they might as well make it at least a year if it's a hiatus (which im sure will be a year). I don't think there's really any room for filler going forward anyway. (unless it's a flashback or something randomly shoehorned in). I wouldn't be surprised if they announce the anime return at the end of the upcoming the movie.

And yeah, it kinda sucks, but not as much as horrible filler or a hiatus in the middle of the Alvarez Empire arc. Now's the perfect opportunity for a hiatus imo.
