The main page for anime#14334 says " Episode titles: We have 14" but there are only 12 episodes on the list and in the anime.
The "14" is probably just a typo. |

There are actually 14 listed episodes. This includes 5.5 and 10.5.

When it says "Episode titles: We have #" the number is automatically however many episodes are listed on the episode list. When someone enters the number of episodes manually, it shows up as "Number of episodes: #". So what you are referring to can't be a typo since it is however many episodes are actually on the episode list. It looks like there really are 14 episodes, numbered 1-12 plus 5.5 and 10.5.

I did not notice the 5.5 and 10.5 on the list, or on the discs. I have only watched the first 6 episodes so far but there is no episode 5.5 on my disc.
OK. I see now that Sentai included them as extras. Do those really count as episodes? I am not arguing about it, just curious. |

@Touma
They were part of the original broadcast so I would count them as episodes. They are obviously quickie recap episodes intended to give them time to complete the following episodes. However they do a nice job as they provide some information not otherwise shown. This is a show that got the production so far behind that the ending was delayed to the following season. Calathan's point was that if they are in the episode list they automatically increase the count on the main page. I've noticed other shows that have alternate names for the same episode or have a parallel listing of US release titles (usually on TV). These show markedly higher episode counts on the main page. The same thing happens with manga where you have only 12 volumes but 30 release dates covering multiple countries and editions. |

OK, that explains it. Thank you, to everybody. |
