Television Anime series running 10-14 episodes (generally 12). They're usually scheduled for a 3-month airing slot, if aired weekly, at Otaku O'Clock.note Anime with this format are commonly called '1-cour' shows, with a 24-26 episode run being called a '2-cour' show and so on; 'cour' (kuuru/クール) being a jargon term (probably from the French cours) used in the Japanese broadcasting industry referring to the periods of time these shows are aired and scheduled, as detailed in the above "note". Show This format became popular (see 12 and 13) in the second half of the 2000s as a compromise to the often sporadic nature of OVAs and the longer, sometimes filler-ridden, previous standard of 22-26 (and even earlier, 48-52) episodes. Being a smaller time investment and financial risk, it is much easier to determine if a show will be successful; or, if it isn't, to not take on as much of a loss. In that respect, the closest Western equivalent to this trope would be Front 13, Back 9.It's also common for seasons to have 13 episodes produced, broadcasting only 12 of them, and leaving the 13th as a Bonus Episode OVA. This is especially common in shows that frequently dance the line with controversial, taboo, and/or explicit Fanservice scenes. In this case, whatever the creative team wanted to do that just wouldn't bypass the Moral Guardians is saved for here. The only real downside to this format is the possibility of a Gecko Ending, as most anime released each season are adaptations of manga or light novels, many of which are still ongoing at the time of airing. Due to their length, a particularly noteworthy 12-episode anime can often lead to severe cases of Awesomeness Withdrawal.
