| im looking at anichart and last season there were only two 24-minute episode anime with more than 13 episodes, Nisekoi and Nobunaga the Fool so what do you think about most anime nowadays being 1 cour shows |
 |
| The two shows that I wish weren't more than 13 episodes... It's probably safer and if the show does well they can always add on more later. |
 |
| Nay, I prefer 24 episode shows. You can't usually put everything in 12 episodes. And if show is shitty I don't have to finish all 24 eps of course. |
| you should have added a 3rd option doesn't bother me in the least I'll watch whatever some show i wish were longer >.> and I'm not going to lie I've never watched a 24-26 ep anime and said to myself i wish this was shorter XD sooo maybe nay ? I'm going to go with it doesn't bother me |
 |
| Compared to what? Two seasons ago we had many series with 24 or more episodes, like: Log Horizon (25) Yowamushi Pedal (38) Golden Time (24) Nagi no Asukara (26) Hajime no Ippo: Rising (25) Samurai Flamenco (22) Tenkai Knights (52) |
  |
| Its true that 12/13 ep animes dont usually include everything, however i love how they can easily be finished in a day or two. They're perfect if you have a busy lifestyle and still want to watch anime, therefore its a yay ;3 |
 |
| I don't really mind it. |
| I love my gurlz |
| 50 or go home. |
 |
| Some of my favorite shows are 13 episode series. |
 |
| As long as they have an ending that I'm satisfied with, then I honestly don't mind at all. Though, I'd rather have a series with 13 episodes that has an open-ending, rather than a 24+ episode series. |
| I like it if it's good. |
 |
| That's where the manga comes in. I don't mind it, but most 13 eps series are usually rushed and it gets annoying. |
| Ha. Ha. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. I'm laughing because you got hurt. |
| I think the ideal length would be infinite, but that means that they would be airing continuously and I don't watch airing shows. So I guess its good that they are less than 24 in general because then I get to finish more. |
 |
| Well the fact that most shows are rushed and end on a cliffhanger and are mainly used as promotional material for the manga is annoying. |
| Most of them have more than one Seasons too and I like the 13 episode format |
| Well, last season was particularly low because there were so many shows from Fall still airing, but yeah, in general there's way too many. I'd definitely prefer more long-runners, more mainstream anime and less late night stuff that is over when it starts to get good. My ideal length is 50-200 episodes. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I prefer 22~26+ episode series unless its an original project then 11~13 are just fine. I do like 12~13 episode series more for marathoning purposes, but most of the time 12 episode series barely scrape the surface of the characters and plot. Its irritating if the LNs/manga are untranslated or far behind the Japanese release. |

| Baccano showed me you can have an excellent well paced story with 13 episodes, so I'm not sure the format is the problem... |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I hate it, 13 episodes is rarely enough to convey a full story without having to greatly lower its scale to make up for its short time allotted to it. 1-cour's have also resulted in horrendous adaptations of good souces such as the infamous dangan ronpa anime. Now split-cour im perfectly fine with |

| Few have the time or interest for long running anime. It's still no excuse to have 13 episodes when you can have a solid 24-26 for most adaptations, I can see some 4koma adaptations getting 13 but most anime should have 20 episodes at the very least. |
 |
| It makes them easy to watch (I can go through one in a day if I want to) but a lot of times they have bad endings and they never get second seasons as they sold crap. I think it's a better format for slice-of-life anime as 24 episodes of nothing can get repetitive, like Lucky Star did for me. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| It has always been like this, but I prefer 20-26 episode series more. 10-13 episodes just isn't enough for me. |

FGAU1912 said: animators are getting lazy How is making two 13-episode anime more lazy than one 26 episode anime? In fact, if anything I would think the former requires more effort than the latter does. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| They aren't even trying anymore. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| The longer, the better, until it gets boring or unlikable. 12-13 episodes is easy to watch in a day if I like it, though. |
 |
| i don't really mind them. one-cour shows have their good and bad series, just like other, longer shows. |
 |
| Maybe they don't want to risk with 2-cour anime but this sometimes lowers the quality. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| One of the reasons anime have mostly been shitty these last few years. You can't develop anything in 13 eps in terms of solid story (unless you do a sequel and 99% will not have a sequel). |

|
| I don't like it... I prefer around 21 episodes, around 12 seems really low to me, especially if it's a complicated story. |
 |
| I've kinda just accepted it as the norm. Most of the time I don't really mind it anyway though there are some shows I enjoyed enough to wish got more episodes, like most if not all anime fans I'd assume. |
| We need another Legend or Monster... this time with 200+ episodes.. |

| If it's an adaption, I find that it usually will be open ended and is hoping for a second season. |
| It's a lot better than no episodes :) I don't mind it for a first season but with a 13 episode series, I'm usually left wanting more. There are some excellent series that can be wrapped up in 13. I'd rather there be fewer fillers and each episode be worthwhile rather than dragging something out to 20-26 episodes with a bunch of random crap. But obviously 26 episodes of epicness is better than 13 episodes of epicness. |
 |
| If you're not supporting the industry by importing Japanese releases or buying licensed releases in your area, you've got no right to complain about declining budgets and show lengths. But I'll take 13 episodes over the "10-episode fluff/filler sequel" pattern that's popping up these days for shows like Maken-ki!, Date a Live, and Is This a Zombie?. Though it's not impossible for 1-cour series to be worthwhile, even if they are adaptations. In my experience, VN/eroge adaptations are better bets than manga/LN adaptations for having a reasonably complete story within ~13 episodes. There have been plenty of anime-original TV series of that length as well. FGAU1912 said: Such an amazing insight.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Everything that connects to MAL |
| They're still way too long. No commercial should drag on for over four hours. |
 |
| I dont understand why people say anime are commercials for the manga counterparts. Dont animation studios buy publishing rights from the publishers and then animate it themselves? |
