Series running about half the length of the standard 24-26 (depending on holidays) episode season. These shows are [[Short Runners]], but for these, that was never a bad thing. Scheduled for a 3-month airing slot if aired weekly. Episode length doesn't matter - these could be [[Blipvert|five-second episodes]] or [[The Epic|six-hour episodes]], as long as there were
This format has become popular (see [http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aanimenewsnetwork.com+inurl%3A%22encyclopedia%2Fanime.php%22+%22Number+of+episodes%3A+12%22 12] and [http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aanimenewsnetwork.com+inurl%3A%22encyclopedia%2Fanime.php%22+%22Number+of+episodes%3A+13%22 13]) in recent years as a compromise to the sometimes sporadic nature of [[OVA]]s and the longer, sometimes filler-ridden, standard season. Being a smaller time investment and financial risk, it is much easier to determine if a show will be successful. For this reason, many Western live-action shows have adopted this schedule, at least at first.
