Damn this episode feels like 10 minutes (though it actually is, 14 minutes to be exact 💀). What's the point of making 13 episodes if the plot can be condensed into 10 episode only? Isn't booking tv slot for 13 times cost more than 11/12?

Isn't booking tv slot for 13 times cost more than 11/12?

I'm really curious as to what the logic behind this was. Did they get a good deal on 13 episodes? Was it the only slot available so it was a take it or leave it kind of deal? Just why

From what I vaguely know of Japanese television broadcasts you either buy slots by 13 episodes or 26 in a package deal. Otherwise you are stuck purchasing individual slots and that is more expensive. So I think for budget reasons, the studio is trying to go for the 13 episode slot to SAVE on budget.

Then how did they make the previous season 11 eps ? Demon Slayer past 2 seasons were also pretty short . They bought the slots individually?

They likely greenlit the two season at once, thats how a lot of double cour anime are handling it nowadays, its why they only take a year or two to release from each other

So they bought a batch of 24 episodes which is standard practiced, and adapted one arc in 11 episodes, then they realized that the next arc is just as short and quick and the remaining 13 episodes were more than enough to adapt all of it, leading to these compromises to pad things out.
