it's not 26, rather 52 episodes. there are 26 segments each containing two 10 minute episodes (w/out op + outro) so I guess I can see where the confusion is.

Major anime websites all list the episode count as 26 episodes and it's not the only anime that has 2 stories (or more) in one episode.

Most people take info. from anime sites to add them to OTHER anime sites. Not because it's posted everywhere it means it's right. To give you an example AnimeNewsNetwork has it as "26 episodes" running at "12 minutes" each. if you do the math they only add up to half of the show's duration. That aside, there are not 2 stories in each episode, it's 1 story per episode, with some exceptions like #15 for example (1 story in 2 episodes). I also have to correct myself; PPC has 46 episodes not 52. You can see this on the DVD. Last episode is titled "Episode #46 The Dandy Mr. Principal." I would go with what's on the actual video rather than what's on a second-hand information website, even if it is in all "major anime websites."

Most of those websites are backed by official companies though so I tend to believe their info. But if the DVD says 46, then it should be 46. Can you tell me the average time per episode I have to set the entry to if I change it to 46 episodes?

10 minutes each. Not counting the Opening and Outro

But the OP and ED do count. So I guess that makes it 13 minutes.

Dang. The number of episodes is so messed up right now that i cant figure out wats goin on at all -.- Also the minutes doesnt match.

There are 26 episodes x 20 minutes (i exlude op and ed to do the math) wchich is 520 minutes (Thats how long anime is)
Or 52 episodes x 10 minutes = 520

The way it is now i looks like anime is 460 minutes long which isnt true.

To go on with 46 episodes u would have to say that there are 40 episodes x 10 minutes and 12 x 20 minutes then the lenght of anime would be all right. Thats probably what DVD meant cos there are 6 episodes that last 20 minutes each (they are named part 1 and part 2 but it is one plot). The rest 40 episodes are 10 minutes long each.

So i think it would be the best to change number of eps to 52 13 minutes each.

What a chaos.

I've changed it to 52 now, that does seem to be the best solution.
