    How is “every anime has one season of 10 episodes running 25 minutes each” an overestimation? I’d call that an underestimation. Yeah, there are anime with much shorter runtimes, but there are also many anime with well over 100 episodes.

    Not to mention, are you really expecting this random person to write an interface for their API to get exact numbers for an off the cuff online discussion?

      Because dub time doesn’t equate to run time. Most anime has PLENTY of no voice work, and openings and endings can be copy and pasted.

      I fear more you are not aware where in the internet you are. This is basic 101 scripting work that happens every second your application notifies you your new anime got updated. Basic scripting is what our /c/ and threadiverse do for most of us who actually moved on from fashit.
