the comic that (i assume) it’s based on is one of the best in the series

I like how they represented the demon entity at the end of the last episode.

everybody seems to be panning the diner episode and it wasn’t great but it’s pretty faithful to the comic at least

this looks sick as hell, finally seeing 80s/90s ultraviolence / sexuality / transhumanism with OVA quality animation after years of "sensibile investment" shows/movies with no balls. just look at that cyber-axe deployment "ku-CHUNK", loving hell do I want a Trigger series of Bloodborne now

that seems like a great model for releasing tv series with extremely short seasons. drop the season then a couple months later release a bonus episode, another one a few months after that, maybe one more 3 months before the new season starts

cause they'd need to begin production on the second season before the third episode airs or the staff is going to find new jobs during the 18-20 month layoff, plus you'd need to pay holding deals to the main cast to ensure availability. doubt many studios want to commit that much to season 2 that early I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they could make it work with desperate writers and actors but it's more risky, and if it's popular people will want to move to better jobs

26 episodes a season, air them once a week. 2-4 million per episode. when the season ends, you switch to a different show w/ 26 episodes that season

sure but its generally better overall cause you get more opportunity for small stories that arent part of a big epic season long arc.

I don't think there's any specific correct length. A 4 episode show and a 26 episode can both feel poorly paced. Rather than focusing on some arbitrary target length I'd prefer if they would just focus on whatever suits the specific show and how much interesting content they are able to write.

some shows do a good job of having only few episodes that tell a story, eg only murders in the building some shows need space to tell small stories and breathe without constantly having to be part of a huge narrative, eg star trek halfway competent writers can always pad a season with fun one-off stories. it's much harder to keep a single pReStIgE sToRyLiNe interesting for 12 straight episodes or whatever

one of the big problems with  PRESTIGE TV is that they also have lots of filler but it's all these interminable pointless scenes of people bitchily talking past each other instead of a fun episode where they play baseball in the holodeck or whatever

I bet if you restructured how serialized television is delivered it would satisfy everyone. you produce ~18 episodes per season: a 10-12 episode "story" that is aired sequentially over three or four months and is the standard prestige tv format, then six-eight one off shorts that focus on smaller characters and wrap up side plots, make experimental/holiday episodes, or do worldbuilding, and these are released every four-six weeks until the next "story" comes out. this way the main cast still gets several months to go shoot movies or other shows but you keep the writers, crew, and supporting actors working all year
