Kadokawa has been doing this for quite some time.
And they usually fill the gap with an extra episode or two as bonus episodes on the DVD/BDs.
The ācable networksā at least have the partial excuse that they only run their shows during the big hiatuses on the real networks. Anime has only cheapness to fall back on for reasoning.
The problem with short shows is that one that tells its story well in its condensed timeframe is rare, especially when that timeframe is further curtailed to 10 eps. I remember learning quickly when I got into the fandom that of an anime only had 13 eps then it was going to be a jerky, unfulfilling ride. Thirteen gradually gave way to ten and thatās only made the problem worse.
Oh, if only the tedious filler eps of the mainstream shounen could have been converted into extra eps for other series; even though it has 24 eps to play with, Irregular at Magic High School (sounds like something exlax could fixā¦) needed some more running time.
