They're going to butcher it

Not obvious at all. Why would a western streaming service that is funding original anime even need to follow the same outdated japanese system of 12/13 episodes, which works only as a stupid ad to sell light novels/manga to begin with? Streaming services care about views, clicks and to attract new subscribers. That can only be achieved either by pumping up an insane ammount of original content disregarding its quality, with the occasional hit (hi netflix) or actually invest in fewer but high quality shows (like HBO). Clearly Crunchyroll has not the financial power of netflix, so it would be of their interest to invest in fewer titles (like the 3 big popular webtoons) and make sure they are decent paced adaptations with a satisfying animation.

But being the terrible service that crunchyroll is, of course they would still go with the moronic ad-like anime format, and in the case of Noblesse, did not even bother to put the OVA listed together with the anime. People watch that first episode and go WTF is happening? Did i miss something? Yikes... Something that could be great for the industry, became the joke we see lately. I guess we have to wait a few more years until the japanese finally start to invest in their own streaming platform and finally update their anime model, because THERE IS DEMAND for animations as well. The industry should not be dependent of light novels sales. It makes no sense.
