I was reading an old industry report and the number of anime episodes produced in 2023 actually dropped for the first time in a decade.
Found it in a PDF from the Association of Japanese Animations, it went from like 1,400 episodes to 1,200. Anyone else seen this or know why?

Wait, 1,400 down to 1,200? That's a huge drop. I mean, it feels like there's a new show every single week, you know? Maybe it's just me, but I can't even keep up with the seasonal stuff anymore. I wonder if it's a money thing or if studios are just making longer seasons for fewer shows now.

Totally agree, it feels like way more than ever. I have three different streaming services and my watch list is still impossible. Maybe they are putting more budget into fewer shows now, like every episode costs more to make. That drop is still wild to see in the actual numbers though.
