Odd cases
MOD: These are not Eleven-Episode Anime, Twelve-Episode Anime, Thirteen-Episode Anime, or Fourteen-Episode Anime. Cleanup is required: These need to be moved off of this page and onto to the correct page(s).

 * The same goes for the Galaxy Angel anime.
 * And Steel Angel Kurumi
 * Same goes for Cromartie High School, though they generally broadcast them in pairs.
 * As well as Risky☆Safety, but it has 24 episodes.
 * The anime series of Black★Rock Shooter is eight episodes long, and was aired in NoitaminA. If you count the OVA (which was released two years earlier and is in a separate continuity), then it had nine episodes in total.

 * As mentioned in the main article, many live-action Western shows are adopting this, such as NBC's Chuck. During the 2007-2008 season, however, a lot of this was the unintentional result of that season's Writer's Strike.
 * Shiki has 22 episodes plus an OVA episode 20.5.
 * The fourth season of Slayers ending up being split into two 13-episode seasons instead of one 26-episode season. Of course, Revolution leaves a lot of plot threads for Evolution-R to pick up, but season five did get a new OP and ED...
