>any hopes for extended character interactions
Assuming Sugoi's leak of 1h40m total runtime holds (keeping in mind that their other claim about production being complete is probably untrue), even if half the runtime is for the "action" (Reze in bomb form) part, that would leave ~50m to adapt 5-6 chapters of "non-action" (Reze in human form, which still includes action snippets like Reze vs serial killer or Makima+Angel, Aki boxing). If 20m (~1 episode's length) is enough to adapt 3-3.5 chapters, then 40m is enough for 6-7, which would leave at least 10m for extended character interactions, possibly 15m if bomb form takes ~45m. Basically, a 1h40m runtime would almost guarantee significant extensions to both action and character parts, though I have no reference point (like the NHK preview) for the how the latter would be arranged.
