I don't get how that's possible because most likely it should cover chapters 41 & 42 of the manga by judging the episode 12 preview... The darkness arc will just end up being very rushed if this season is only twelve episodes long... :(

Episodes 13 & 14 will air on the 28th of October

Said so on the cover of chapter 59 of the manga which came out two days ago (well translated at least)

idk about calling them "specials" though; this is the most important arc of the entire story thus far lol

Probably because the abnormal episode count meant that the last two episodes would run into the Fall season, but that there will be some new Fall show which want to take its TV time slot starting with the episode which would have aired October 6th

Yes, it's most likely due to scheduling. Or to make more people buy the BDs. (But since it's TLR, it's probably the former.)

Well it's better for us since they could be uncensored. Plus they have more time to polish them up.

Any reasons why it has gone from 14 episodes to 12 episodes here on MAL
Kyon: Hey. It's me. We meet again. [Thinking] So it really was you.
Yuki: What are you doing out here? And why?
Kyon: [Aloud] Funny. I was just about to ask you the same exact thing
[Yuki struggles to look for an answer.]
Yuki: A...walk?
Kyon: [Thinking] That's not true. That's not true, Nagato. You were tired. You'd had enough of Haruhi's nonsense. Getting dragged all over the place. You were tired of protecting me. And you were tired of whatever else you had to do. Stuff we didn't even know about. The fatigue from all those things just kept building up.

..do they not plan things ahead anymore? its not like 12 episodes = 1 full season is a new concept, and it was listed at 14 eps on mal for awhile, was recently changed

although i wont put this on the same level as god eater and kekkai sensen, its still poor planning/scheduling, if you know you are gonna have the 14 eps work it out with the ppl managing time slots to get the show in on time, or have it slotted to be ending in ova's from the beginning, just make it look like you are at least trying to think about it a little bit

It was probably planned like this from the beginning even if it wasn't revealed to the public right away

Also it was first announced in chapter 59 of the manga which came out in the beginning of September, so it's not like they just randomly came out with a few days ago either. The news just weren't translated right away

Kekkai Sensen is ridiculous how badly that has been planned; everyone will need to re-watch the whole season before the finale at this rate; at least To Love Ru will be the same season.

Except that it's NOT bundled with the regular blu-ray and DVD releases. It's airing on TV just like the show did, and are included on their own bluray/dvd release as part of the full collection.

edit: as pointed out, even the end of episode 12 had a preview, confirming 13 is still technically part of the series...they're just taking extra time to ensure higher quality. Probably a lot of "action" scenes.

Please add episodes 13-14 back onto this entry. There is absolutely no reason to have two entries. Just inflating entry numbers....

Indeed

Kekkai Sensen's last episode should have its own entry as well otherwise

At least be consistent

i see, havent had a chance to read the manga, have a few others ive been reading, just seemed like a trend was happening that i wasnt liking at all, but guess it was just a coincidence/lack of information

This is the translator for Doki Fansubs. The TV airing IS NOT OVER. To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd is on hiatus until October 27th, when there will be a double airing of the final two episodes. There was an on-screen message in episode 12 stating that. The entry needs to be edited back to 14 episodes, because the final two episodes ARE NOT only on the Blu-Rays.
