    Is it just me, or is it weird that this season has adaptations from at least 2 manga that have slowed to a crawl? I get that most anime are just advertisements for manga, but why bother when the manga is barely putting out new chapters?

      I don’t know which anime those are, but it’s not only about advertising the manga,

      Anime are made by a production committee, which consists of various companies that put money into it and expect something in return. The source material’s publisher is just one of them, and they’re the only ones interested in boosting the source material. But even they might be doing it for some other purpose, like the author’s next work or a spinoff.
