The last episodes of Re:Zero season 2 were each 29 minutes 30 seconds.
I have no idea how advertisers agreed to that. One commercial for the entire half-hour?
Re:Zero was so ludicrously popular that there was an entire advertising campaign for the Rem confession episode specifically. If it's even still a fraction as popular, advertisers were probably pit fighting for the ad time.
And then kept her out of all of season 2, because "fuck short-term popularity, I have a story to tell."
I like that. And I say that as a Rem fan.
