Sometimes it's surprisingly profitable and sometimes it might not be made with the intent of being profitable (e.g. if it's trying to advertise a different product altogether, like toys or a video game or whatever)

>>14562If it's profitable why only 12 episodes. And if it's not profitable… why at-least 12 episodes? You'd think 6 is enough to determine, maybe even 3.

>>14576How about the same 6 episodes, but twice? Ads require repetition if I've understood anything. You can put more budget into making the anime look good, and rather than stretch out a thin plot make a compelling 2 hour piece out of it. Making a rewatch more required if they rush things.
