Many of the Heisei Rider series have this format though. Gaim was an exception.
It also makes it easier for the team of writers and directors, I guess.
If you look at the credits for writing/directing on wikipedia, you can see this.
A subwriter can take over writing a 2-eps arc when the main writer needs to take a break(or is busy with writing other things like the movie)...
Directors are usually rotated every two episodes. Director 1 directs eps 1 and 2; director 2 directs eps 3 and 4...and so on.
yeah, i know that already
imo, because of current and past rider series does it without this format (drive's more like 1-eps, 2-eps or more flexible so that it seems to have more flowing story), i think the next season will get the same treatment.
although this is purely my expectation going in :sweat:
afterall, this season and gaim has been a good ride..and i hope the season following will be better than them
but you know, urobuchi handles the series almost by himself right !? iirc it's only when they do a filler eps, crossover, and epilogue that urobuchi didn't write the script :laugh:
i forgot who's the other writer that do the same as uro that take the helm of their respective series alone b y themselves ??
then again, if we will get back to 2-eps arc, most likely we also get another "wizard", i guess :eyebrow:
