Episode 1 & 2 are out now bundled into a single 24-minute release for streaming and streaming outside of Japan will continue as weekly double releases. In Japan, only the first 12-minute episode has been released.

Thanks for clarification!
I guess it means that for us it will technically be the usual twelve episodes, 20 minutes each, seasonal: just with twice the OP theme in every episode haha.

It's technically 48 12-minute episodes crammed into "24", and doing it in the most annoying way possible. Wasting time with double OPs AND not being consistent with how episodes are released.

Episode 1 was two 12-minute episodes that counted as one episode.
Episode 2 was two 12-minute episodes that counted as one episode.

Then to be annoying

Episode 3 was two 12-minute episodes that counted as two episodes (Episodes 3 and 4)

Will episode 5 count as 5 AND 6 or will it go back to counting as a single episode again? Maybe they'll be extra annoying and episode 5 will count as Episodes 5, 6, AND 17 because why not?

Also, Episode 3 counting as episodes 3 and 4, means that technically, there are 23 separate episodes. Possibly even less.

Is there really so little source material that they have to mess around like this?

@Euthymia_Gerv if you want, check out the manga source for yourself.

The easiest way to understand is this arrangement:
Japan will air all 24 episodes in a half-hour block (not like this was not done before)
Streaming outside will air the same, but in 12 eps x 2 ep segments.

The total should NOT be 48 eps but half that.

It's set to 24 episodes on MAL, but in reality, it's less than that.

If you think of episodes as files on a server, which they are, 4 files are being counted as 6.

1, 2, (3+4), (5+6)

I remember watching 3 videos, but according to MAL, I've watched 4 (I haven't watched the newest yet).

Why not continue the trend from 1 and 2, and say you have 4 episodes? If you're going to do the A + B = 2 thing, then why not do it from the start? In which case you have 8 episodes.

If they had a half-hour block in Japan, I think they should have just made a normal 23-minute anime and not bothered with this 12-minute double OP nonsense.
