Just curious if anyone knows why it’s only been 6 episodes a season. Are the showrunners losing interest and moving on?

Guess you missed the starting seasons of 20 something episodes, which got whittled down to 16, then 12... just lazy for the most part. Most american companies are and don't even try to put out a full season of any show.

For reference look at the majority of anime shows, 22 to 28 episodes per season.

They've been doing this thing for 25 years, give it a rest. We're getting around 3-4 hours of the show every year, that's not bad at all. Certain assembly line animes having more episodes per season doesn't really change that.

People really don’t consider the fact that we’re still getting new episodes of a show that started in the 90’s. I can think of four shows from the 90’s or older that are still going today. This is extremely rare. I’m grateful!

Or maybe, just maybe, they like putting out a FULL season every season.
