NOT 'four' per DVD - only in North America, where we're spoiled and demand fewer discs, do anime companies routinely put 3-4 eps per disc. Or, to put it in perspective, I suggest going to CDJapan and seeing what Tales of the Abyss Volume 1 has: 2 episodes on the first disc. Ditto Macross Frontier, Sekerei, etc. And that would've left us with the first disc (or two discs) without all the main characters... which, in my view, is a problem when you're trying to hook viewers. It's sorta like if, when KyoAni was adapting Haruhi, they decided to put in filler for episode 3, and then Episode 4 was all about Kyon's loser friends with Mikuru or Nagato left unintroduced and unused. Slight pacing problem there, especially with how they rushed through one whole volume worth of story... and cut out some of the self-introspection parts from Ep 2, and Ep 3 was almost completely missing that. “at LEAST 4 episodes per DVD”

Especially if it's two eps of story and then 2 eps of filler. A whole quarter of a season. If it's on the road to 25, they didn't KNOW that when they planned this... and it's still not the way to hook viewers. Unless you're trying to catch the ZnT fans who will buy anything, which means cutting out anything they'd find objectionable... like original content. At this point, I have no doubt that it'll crash pretty hard by episode 6, especially given that they're basically pulling the equivalent of a "Dune: House Atreides" treatment of the original source now. Which, for those of you unfamiliar with the 'new' Dune books by Kevin J. Anderson, are summed up nicely by this Penny Arcade strip: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/10/15/ Let’s put it this way – if it isn’t on the road to 25, wasting FOUR eps and not bringing out all the main cast, as shown in the OP, is pretty bad pacing.

If the anime goes downhill and screws up really bad on the other hand, well, we'll just see what'll happen. I'm pretty sure my RAGE still won't compare to yours XD @blissmo: well blissmo, it's because you didn't really love TS to begin with :P LOVE turned HATE is sooo much more deep-rooted, and just... total RAGE-filled. ^As you can see, Haesslich serves as the best example of that. @Haesslich: Hm, there’s a high chance that they’re going to make this 2-cour, if the rumors circulating is indeed true.

They have wasted a quarter of the show (if it's still 13 episodes, or almost a sixth if it's 25 episodes) and they haven't even introduced all the main characters yet. Who was the idiot who planned this abortion of a storyline? Maybe I'll borrow Krauser from DMC's lines to describe what happened to the source material. "RAPE! RAPE! RAPE!!!!" Hmm. Maybe I'll go Krauser on the staff of J.C. Staff someday... Actually, screw episode 4.

Staff's joined Gonzo in the ranks of 'studios that suck' for me - even FEEL doesn't do this badly. At least there the adaptations, as weird as they got, were (relatively) in the same ballpark as the original source as far as feel and story went. Of course, the last Feel production I watched was Otome wa Boku. Even if they cut the eroge, the feel of the show seemed to stay consisted with the manga and what I've seen of said game. As far as adaptations go, KyoAni's probably still the king of studios - but then again, they've done almost nothing but adaptations, so they've had much practice. J.C.
