Summer 17 Anime Season

[Raylen Cypher]

The match with Kirari came so early in the manga too? It seemed kind of rushed, since there's still two or three student council members she hasn't even gone up against yet...

she already beat four of the elites

its natural she face the champion after

[Akyuu]

I definitely wouldn't mind if they did!
Chronos Ruler Episode 8: Victor's past is getting in the way of the investigation. I'm surprised he was the way he was as a kid.

yeah but here's the thing. realistically, not all the cases the girls worked on are going to be a story worth telling. not every mission is going to have some kind of unexpected trouble or ongoing character development for any of them. a fair amount of them are going to be very boring successes like staying in the exact same spot for a few hours and going back since nothing's happening.

I just figured normally all the mid-bosses come before the final boss, though maybe they're being saved for later...

I just think that this show having just 12 episodes is a crime. I'm just getting tired of all these 12-episode anime that are coming out.

It's no longer safe or profitable to produce so many episodes at once. Feel blessed they still 24-26 episode seasons.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Also there are a lot of series that overstay their welcome or go off the rails if they're more than a cour

I likes me some tighter writing

[Raylen Cypher]

Not too tight now.

A little breath of life is always nice.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

also more than 13 and you often start having animation issues

I mean even just 13 is sometimes bad

That's a real shame. This is the new normal now? Like I'd understand if there wasn't enough source material to adapt but Princess Principal is a original series and the way it is right now I can't hope for a second season. I'm going just watch stuff on my backlog for a while. There's only one show I want to watch next season so it's the perfect time for me to do that.

It's been the normal for a long time now. Make 12, if it does good might make more.

[Alternative Ice]

I wouldn't be surprised if anime seasons get even shorter in the future.

I guess that I haven't watched that many short anime then.

[bassgs435]

Mondaiji (Problem Children) was only 10 episodes
Then, BRS TV only had 8 episodes. The only longrunners are kid's stuff like Precure and Yu-Gi-Oh!

4 episode seasons, enjoy your British anime.

[Laserman]

Why would they get shorter? By seasons you mean the episode count itself, right?

[Paitouch]

5 minute web anime are the future.

[Rafflesiac]

Damn, All Might dunking Bakugou into Deku was great.

[Alternative Ice]

right

We're already seeing things like Prisma and Konosuba only going for 10 ep a season. I think that this might become the norm eventually.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Seasons are made as long as they are for airing on television and they get a block of time for x number of weeks. But then there are some like noitamina that do shorter blocks on purpose or channels plan for specials during holidays or whatever.

But then you're also getting more and more things that are not on standard television because streaming is slowly suffocating the old school and people are getting experimental. And like Pai said, a lot of stuff that doesn't have a marketable future on tv gets webisodes.

but really the future is companies see how these compilation movies do and are eventually gonna decide to cut out the middleman and just do theater runs

[Laserman]

I just can't win this week.
