After Episode 6, there's a recap episode "6.5" with no new content. Trouble at the animation studio?

I think that's not the case, a bunch of other anime this season received recaps halfway since you watch it weekly they maybe want viewers to still remember some things or something like that.

I don't know if it is a rule, but I think espisodes wit a «.5» are pre-planned while episodes that take a regular number are because of production problems. Maybe they wanted to give themselves some additional time to not get into time trouble or the network was only selling a 13 week package and they did not want to draw out the story.

There isn't anything more evil than recaps.

Recap after 6 episodes? Not even in the 80's did they try to pull that one off.

recaps are like a middle finger to everyone. like FFS we were all here the last 6 episodes, why waste our time with a recap of less than 2 hours of show.

It's the season of recaps.

When I saw that the next episode was going to be a 6.5 I was like 'NO, are we gonna have a fucking recap episode, fuck!' And sure enough here we are and it's a recap episode so I just kinda skimmed through it and didn't really watch it becuase I just hate when we get a recap episode in place of a real episode, you wait a whole week and then it's just like 'oh, hey, do you like waiting for another week'
LOL, your opinion is wrong!

I'm glad MAL adds .5 episodes as a separate entry if it contains no new content. Otherwise I would never be able to set it as complete. Cause luckily for me, I can actually remember things!

This anime is so slow-paced it doesn't need a recap episode.

I hope this doesn't catch on. One of the nice things about Japanese anime is that there's an episode every week. It's not like US TV, where a "year" of a TV show is down to maybe 25 episodes.
