The total length of the four episodes is ca. 1h 40 min., so more or less a typical movie playtime. The episodes have not been emited weekly or periodically but in a bundle, all episodes at once. The release date was rescheduled from October 2020 to May 2021, so additional 7 months for work over the story.
My question is: why has Netflix decided to release it as a series instead of a single movie, what would make more sense? What was the reason for maintaining the episodic form? It is a continous story, there's no technical reason to cut it in episodes, so - why?

probably marketing reasons. I am not too sure and Netflix is always up to no good with anime lol.

I don’t think they release anime movies often unless they are from a big series or studio.

Agreed this would’ve been perfect as a movie

So they can end each episode with a cliffhanger probably 🤷🏼‍♂️ But I agree - would’ve been better as a movie

Now that you've mentioned it they could have, but I (as not a big anime guy) probably wouldn't have watched it if it was a movie. I can't even really give you a reason why, it's just weird. I would have rather committed to a first season of an interesting sounding series (especially when I saw it's just four episodes), than watched some random anime movie.

Idk why but nowdays i find hard sometimes fully commited to watch a movie in one sitting, I'm quite prefer it was an couple of episodes series.
I can watch it one episode per day, rather than pause it and resume the movie where i left off.
It's really weird lol
