EP. REVIEW: Horimiya

Had to perform a little cleanup. I suggest everyone stay civil and cease with any further insults or mentions of off topic political figures. If you can't post without commenting on people personally, don't post.

Let's hope that the show can keep that up for one last episode.

This show has 13 episodes, so there are two left.

Then to add insult to injury, the ending credits roll over scenes from the manga that never made it into the anime.

Was a bit disheartening to see how this show unfolded, buckling under its episode count. Although not on the same level of disaster, it almost feels similar to Promised Neverland S2. Where the manga has ended or is about to end, and so they don't bother giving the show the extra time/extra season it really needed because soon there won't be a product to advertise.

Ok. No offense but when people say “a studio won’t bother with continuing the anime because they don’t have to promote the manga/light novel anymore,” it kind of bugs me. Because anime adaptation don’t exist solely to be advertisement.

At the end of the day all anime adaptations are advertisements. They are obviously not solely that, nobody is implying otherwise. But they are predominately that for the majority of anime released. This is why so few light novel adaptations get more than a single season or two - those season have done their job of advertising the light novels and getting an injection of new readers.

You're also greatly overestimating the degree to which individual studios have a say in these decisions, compared to production committees making financially-beneficial moves to push product. And again, if you believe otherwise, come up with a better explanation for why series like Promised Neverland end up the way they do than "there was no longer a fresh product to sell, so the production committee cut the chord and rushed the production to an end".
