Yeah I think ultimately it depends on how much they want to charge for the home video release (which could be an indication of how hardcore they think the fanbase would be?) because 7 volumes for 13 episodes is way more expensive than 9 volumes for 25 episodes. Lol.

One Piece 195-196
What a great increase in quality, this filler arc is already starting off better than Skypeia. Sanji cooking and the straw hats in the base was so good.

It's called an opening hook.
That too. It's the difference between it being sci-fi and fantasy!

Especially silly since the first few episodes of Accel World were its best!
Oh come on. In my defense, episode 5 is pretty good.
I wonder how they handle the "I am mad scientist" scene.
Next season my friend.
Lain is definitely on he :cajun side of things. but not in the traditional sense. She's more artsy cute, if that makes sense.
To be fair, a lot of shows are like that.
Accel World seems to be love it or hate it though.

Jesus, theses people are so creepy.
So I guess now
It's pretty good that they managed to keep up with the last festival arc. I guess the payoff wasn't as interesting but there was still a lot of crazy and fun adventures happening so it was all good at the end.

Bidding so high for chewed gum, crazy fanbase is crazy.
the retrieval arc will begin? Should be fun but I hope most of the cast will travel there.

One episode? Is that at all common?
I watched every episode, it doesn't get better! On the other hand, sakuga!
In my case I love to hate it.
So do a lot of people.

Isnt Tonari in like 12 hours, I wonder if Crunchyroll will announce it like an hour or two beforehand.
It's not uncommon for the first volume to be cheaper and include either 1 or 2 episodes. For example if you have a 26 episode series, and you want to sell 3 episodes per volume normally, it'll be a 9 volume series, with 2 episode on Vol1 and 3 episodes on the rest.

Now I'm ready for pokemon too.
Shin Sekai Yori 01
Really great first episode I want more.
Do you know why they do that? I never understood it.
?????? I just explained it.
No, I mean... why not just have certain ones have one more episodes. IRCC, certain series in the past did this.
I dunno, but Im guessing that its to get people to buy in. Once theyre onboard, they can usually be sold followup volumes at slightly higher cost.
The Us market used to work the opposite, with the initial volume having more episodes and an artbox and subsequent volumes being sold standalone for cheaper.
There are other threads?

That makes sense, in the whole Japanese DVD market sense.
So, it could either likely be a 13 or a 25 episode series then?
Aww, that's too bad.
I definitely liked regular Momoji but honestly I was really getting to like clean Momiji. Well, if there's maybe a cameo sometime in the future I definitely wouldn't mind it.
Since Haruka Tomatsu did the voice for Ranmaru, I wonder what she'll sound like as Mor in Magi.
Oh I love that scene! That's
the dance scene right?
I think the stars look so amazing, so any show that has the night sky being reflected in a type of reflection pool like that I love! I'm pretty sure one of the endings to Gundam 00 did a very similar thing with some flowers in the water plus it was also reflecting the Earth because it was on the moon or a ship. Fabulous Max!
I hope so! Hopefully they're more affordable too but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't.
As much as I think of Ikuhara when I think of Utena that is kind of an interesting fact about Utena in that he wasn't actually the episode director of any episodes. He even got in on things in Mawaru Penguindrum and co-directed the last episode, episode 24, along with Nakamura Shouko and Yamazaki Mitsue. That's 1-0 haha.
Alright, I laughed.
How do you get 9 volumes out of 24. 25, or 26 episodes by putting more episodes on any volume? Use some math!

Okay, then why 9 volumes?
Chitanda and Oreki are also substantially better written.
One of you get banned so I can use this
I just noticed her hyper-extended elbow.
The typical format was something like 5,4,4,3,3,3,4 for 26 episodes (Noir) and 7 volumes, 4,3,3,3 for 13 episodes, and strangely 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3 for maximum fleecing of 24 episode series (Stellvia and Kiddy Grade)
This is the right attitude to have to minimize your chance of being banned.

Sometimes I think Mascot-kun don't think before posting.
Erm, you're thinking of the US releases which are completely different. Please don't confuse the matter. Noir was 13 volumes in Japan, 2 episode each.

Why would you want to make less money?
I would say 9 volumes on a 24 episode series does seem a little greedy.
How much is anything?

Im tlaking about US release format. I have no idea how Japan does it.
Why would you want to make less money?
Oh. I thought there was something particularly special about 9 volumes. Well damn...
We're not talking about US releases, please follow the conversation!!
Finishing Nichijou and K-On! so close together has depressed me so I haven't really been watching anime lately lol
real life is also being fucking awful right now
I was always referring to the Us release. Just some other posts came in between which threw off the flow of my posts.
Wasnt trying to confuse.
Its a visual wonderland.
I really hate the coloring in Accel World.

What about 12 volumes for a 24 episode series?
For some reason, that at least sets a precedent.
Not like, oh, most of the volumes have 3 episodes but we decided to squeeze more money out of you guys by reducing them just so you have to buy another volume.
Well it's not really any different. The volumes with less episodes are always cheaper, and come with a bit more extras. It would still be cheaper to buy a 9 volume 24 episode series than a 12 volume 24 episode series. So I don't see how it's "squeezing more money" out of someone compared to 12 volumes.
I.........I really thought I was dead there for a second.......

Well, this episode had a fun premise but pretty lame execution. You'll like it if you like Pop or episodes where the characters cosplay. Have some really disjointed picture commentary:
OHGOD
This week's Akanbe was actually pretty hax--it was like something that Soular from Fresh! Precure would have cooked up in his prime. Unfortunately, Akaoni is an enormous dunce and managed to fuck things up so badly that

was good for a laugh.
are we SURE that Ishikawa Goemon XIII invented this? I see it everywhere now.

Oh... didn't know that. I thought it'd be the same.

I think it was Westlo who mentioned something along the lines of "...the effect of Nyarlko wears off after a few episodes." I'm on episode 3 of Nyaruko and it's already starting to feel like that. Kind of the same jokes every show with only a little development.
