Because now there is less filler and less time-wasting and instead a focus on the point approach...

Before you would sometimes get 20 episodes where half of them are filler or episodic...

But with the attention span of the audience getting shorter, the shows are getting shorter and more straight to the point...

And also, people now prefer linear plot than the usual episodic ones we got back in the day
I don't understand why you guys keep saying the attention span of people got shorter, like where exactly is this talk coming from?

I don't think that's the issue sir. It's actually not about attention span and linear plots - the problem is streaming and money; a streaming company has to develop lots of shows to still be in business and the costs are so much nowadays that they have to find ways of cutting costs. An episode of a show could cost up to 10 million dollars that's actually the main reason. If you notice, some sitcoms and shows still have lots of episodes like BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA and Young Sheldon but are owned not by streaming companies but legacy media companies

Manga image or no manga image, I wouldn't count her out just yet.

It's not like she was blown apart like Nanami or anything, as long as her head is still attached to the rest of her body anything is possible.

She's definitely lost her eye tho...

We might see her face next week...
MAPPA like to reanimate these kinda scenes


I hope she somehow survives...trains and shows up in the future...

But this Gege Sha...this mangaka is too brutal

Also add the fact that TV shows sell advert spots as a means of generating revenue. The more episodes you had, the more sales you made.
There was really little incentive to not maximize the 24-episode TV slots most shows were allotted on a network.

Rightly said. It's not about quality but more about the costs.
Imagine hearing a show like Invincible costing about $10mn per episode. Won't you scoff at that especially when you compare the show to the greatest TV show ever โ€” GOT, that had episodes for $10mn a pop, before increasing to $15mn an episode in the final season. You'd see a massive gulf in quality, both in visuals and otherwise.


Look at House of The Dragon that had 10 episodes with about $20mn per episode. Next season it's dropping to 8 episodes.

Truly, it's only network TV that you'd see in this present age having about 14 episodes and above. That's almost impossible in streaming these days and the standard is 8-10 episodes. Networks audience are so used to weekly release and are more patient, they also have season breaks asides being significantly cheaper to produce.
It's going to be compounded a bit with the recent strike deal between the actors and writers union of America for better pay. So, TV and movie production is about to get costlier. ๐Ÿ˜‰ And surely, studios will find way more ingenious ways to cut costs. Also brace yourselves for more show cancellations. This time, there won't be much patience for underperforming shows, unless it's a key strategy for a studio.

Yea that eye is definitely gone, will make her look even more badass when she finally shows up tho.

Have a feeling the trio's story will come full circle when they face off against each other in the final battle of the series, Yuji is gonna need all the help he can get when he ultimately challenges Sukuna so we might get a Yuji/Nobara Vs Megumi/Sukuna (And maybe more since Sukuna has been shown to scheme and collude with others when he isn't so sure of winning)

You're 100% right. Not only is there no patience for underperforming shows, there's no patience for "likely to underperform" movies or shows.
A perfect example is Batgirl- a movie that has finished production, and even post production๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ. I can't begin to imagine what's actually going on in the minds of the people who has filmed, and worked their ass off in making the movie. Shows like The Federates that had finished production was quietly cancelled๐Ÿ˜ช even before premiering an episode.

Explain to me how you didn't get the chance to feel anything but you were already thinking of an Invincible episode this weekend. I'm genuinely curious.

I knew someone would ask that when I typed it...


My feelings for Invincible were from S1...
Season 2 has had no impact to me...

So the hype and expectations for a new episode was because I wanted to see what S2 would cook

Who else noticed that Hollywood no longer produce series with long episodes like them 24 and prison Break that had 20 something episodes in a season. This days you wait all year to get 8 episodes and if they are being kind you get 10 episodes. Suits, Supernatural, Prison Break, 24 I MISS THEM.
It's not even a yearly thing anymore. Now it's taking some shows 2 years to release new seasons
