>check out new seasonal>it has a 40+ minute first episode
>>288463173Sakuga tongue animation or not worth watching?
this kills the zoomer
The only show to justifiably do this and do it well was Rakugo Shinjuu
>>288463173>check out new seasonal>it has a 40+ minute first episode>it is the best episode in the seriescan't wait for the movie
>actually complaining about more runtimeYou should be gassed for this.
>>288463708Most of the time it's just the first two episodes mashed together as a marketing ploy to get your attention over other shows airing that season.
>>288463173nice
>>288463741If that were actually true then why do most seasonal anime with an extended first episode still have 12 episodes? Oh wait, you were full of shit this entire time.
>>288463173Blame Oshi no Ko
>>288463780Ufotable is more to blame for it.
>watch a 20 minute anime episode>it feels like an eternity
>>288463173Just watch it on 2x speed
>>288463795>watch a 20 minute anime episode>it's somehow over in 5 minutesWhat the fuck
>>288463770...because the first two episodes aired together, making the count 1 instead of 2are you retarded?
>>288463770An anime season is made with thirteen (13) episodes.Two (2) of the episodes are merged into one (1)2 - 1 = 1This means the season now has one (1) less episode.13 - 1 = 12Hope that helped :)
>>288463770why is 12 such a magical number? we get single-cour anime with 11 or 13 episodes all the timea season is 13 weeks long, by the way (52 weeks in a year divided by 4 seasons)
>>288463780And that title was meant to have it.It couldn't have been any other way to be honest.
